Anybody else ever fuck with Zeus? Man do I find it easy to just group up enemy's and gank the lot of them, True enough it takes all 4 skills, but when you can take out 3-4 God's at once, so worth it.

He gets raped late game if your team is terrible though. You need at least 1-2 good people landing stuns or doing some of the damage to really be able to capitalize with him. Had a game last night where I went 12-12 (lost) and had 35k player damage, ADC on my team had 12, assassin had 4k, Tank had 4k (which is fine) and the other rando kept afking in base and I don't think I ever saw him once use a basic attack lol. I've had some crazy carry games with him, but only against really bad kids. His mid-lane 1v1 potential is one of the highest and he's without a doubt my strongest mage. I get really far ahead if I'm left alone to 1v1. If jungle is smart and comes at me with the gank early and often, it forces me to slow down a lot, but then it usually opens up the solo lane A LOT for my team. I need to work on my build a bit though, I think it's a bit unrefined atm and I end up buying a lot of shit that isn't probably the best fit in the end.


Edit: I'm going to be on a lot tonight. I'll have at least one person with me, but I'd like to get a real party going.

Well man, you're obviously light years ahead of me at this game, but I will say that I disagree with him getting raped late game, that's when I find I'm the most dangerous, as long as I am able to keep creeps between me and other gods, I can just sit back and hammer away at these guys and gank within a few seconds, only problem I ever have is with guardians early game, just can't do enough damage to even make them retreat.


But hey if you feel like showing a guy a thing or two toss me an add Xb-mo13@psn

I only mess with Zeus in arena, I tried him in regular games and I got destroyed..

Arena: Ares + Zeus combo is one of my favorites.

That shit is pretty dirty. I prefer Hades+Zeus though.

Are you playing him in midlane? Are you buying plenty of pots to stay in lane and fight until lvl 4-5 before going back your first time? Are you getting damage camp with duo lane to start? Mid is a tough spot, you're all on your own and in constant risk of getting ganked. Try him again, make sure to get the damage buff (if your team is cooperating), pop abilities often to clear waves for quick levels, stay near your tower so you can run if needed, save your active until jungle comes, pop those pots until they're all gone. Go back, get 1 big upgrade, buy a ward or two and then destroy people with your 1 + ult and then 3 them to death as they try to escape. The shield is also amazing for engage damage or picking off people trying to run away. All of Zeus' abilities hit sooooo hard.

Solid advice! I'll have to try him again.

Will do :P , I'll be on tonight. I'll mostly be playing off gods, but I'll play a few with my mains.

The problem is that if you do well enough early game, and you're playing a smart team, you become public enemy #1. That last game I played the entire team would dive me, even if I dropped ult right on top of myself. The rest of my team wasn't doing the damage needed beforehand or after to finish a damn thing, they'd jump me, drop all their actives, I'd drop them all to half life or less with that ult and then they'd lifesteal off creeps and my horrible mates who couldn't hit a basic to save their lives :P . Shit happens, and obviously there's always going to be challenges like bad teammates that you just can't do enough about. His mobility is just so low that you have to be ultra cautious if you've got zero support. Most assassins can come in and 2-3 shot you, and god forbid you're fighting a nox with that 5 second fucking stun, talk about done for lol.

I'm super rusty still with a lot of gods. With the mains I played on PC I do fairly well, but I use to have a ton of random off gods I would play and at least hold my own with. Now I feel like I just get shit stomped if I'm not carrying hard.

I did go and play a Joust with my #1 hunter Medusa after that and went 27 n 3 to make myself feel a little better before bed. I hate ending the night on a loss.

I will agree that his lack of any sort of escape skill has left me the victim of a gang bang more than a couple times, but like I said, I find his overwhelming amount of pure damage skills can for the most part either kill, or wound opponents enough that they fuck off before they can move in for the gank.

But fuckin eh man, I'm pretty new, just dl'd the game a couple weeks ago, but I'm down for a couple rounds tonight.
