I’m honestly completely fine with yemoja being perma-Broken because her design is so unique I feel making it unplayable would be a slap I’m the face to the people that put in the time to master her, especially because having high risk reward gods makes the game more interesting

[Slibber]

It’s honestly a good thing that we have an incredibly high-skill, high-reward support in the game. Yemoja doesn’t feel nearly as oppressive as broken characters in other roles.

[Zathren]

As a man who really enjoys playing Yemoja, I had no idea she was nerfed for 4 years straight. Gosh, I suck at Smite.

[samialivand]

I actually think we need more gods like her, gods that even if they're broken, you cant be angry with them cuz you know they take more skill to play than your whole team.
They should be broken if used correctly so they award mechanical skill, which is rare in smite

[thcentury_toy]

But persephone got reworked anyway for the same reason

[oddronin]

I think her being perma broke is fine. It takes a lot of practice and skill to use her effectively which is very rewarding when you hit that level. I do wish there were more gods that require high skill to have that high reward.

May be a reworked 3 would do the trick. I noticed is not only how good the player is but also the team does an huge difference on her performance, all this nerfs took a tool on her alone capability with out really changing anything in well coordinated team fights. One option would be to have the enemies that can't get pass the 3 like a wall but her team can use it both directions to get in and out

[necroharmonixer]

I agree, yemoja and set have always had “broken” kits. But I would much rather have gods with high skill ceilings preform bad on the low end then terrible reworks like pers and erlang. The only other solution I could think of would be to phase ban them from ranked and competitive on a rotation, but that doesn’t sound like a great solution either.

[aperturehela]

Its funny cos Yemoja meets all the criteria for a rework (such as Persephone did) but they flat out said theyre not gonna rework her. Which Im fine with, I have 9 stars on Yemoja lmfao. But i dont get the double standard

[Typhon]

Good Yemoja strokes fear in the hearts of me and my friends.. so much so we only refer to her as "The Unnerfable One"

[lavishglittergun]

content has never been better. you are killin it lately man!

[fosterwalrus]

There is also the fact that the meta really benefits her right now. It is stupid easy to stack prophetic on her with her 1 spam and the healing items like lotus make her crazy good. Even if she was not the best the item meta would make her the best

[unexpectedguy]

It's crazy how we've seen this conundrum before before other characters of the Mage variety the decision was to gut them

[Trizz]

At 1.47 am i the only one who saw how many ults they needed to kill one cern…

[SeeMoreLevingthon]

I think a rework is basically the only way there is a chance to make her close to balanced.

1. Remove the blocking element of her ultimate and lower its cooldown. Add a strong slow element for enemies that pass go through the walls, and a weaker element for those caught in between the walls.

2. Remove all of her damage on gods and revert some of the Omi mechanic nerfs.

[no.notfromRDR]

I'm kinda sad they didn't bring yet Shango to the game.
He would definitely be one of the coolest gods in smite for being a human that bullied gods, had a harem with three goddesses in it then ascended into godhood.
He was basically Talos from Elder scrolls.

[shugo]

Do you have any builds for the God I just came back after like 5 years or so break (she wasn't out then) and seems fun to play but not sure what to build I see other builds having some items the same like theebes the sickle and the cloak stack items but other have different starting item and some have different relics so not sure what I should pick or whats best to change out in different games I usually play conquest and sometimes Clash thx for the help if anyone reads this.

[wootman]

the only nerfs i know for sure are coming is more vamana nerfs after his almost 100% pick during spl, but honestly they need to do something about her cause no support should out do every other support, i hated her kit design at release cause i knew how bad it was gonna to deal with moving forward. no cooldowns was just a bad idea
, and it has shown with the sheer amount of nerfs

[krismccall]

The only change I’d like to see yemoja get is on her 2 it should have some mechanic that effects enemy gods. Whether it be a stun or decrease in protections and of course add some slight damage. I just think it would give her more freedom without completely breaking her. She’s never been a god that can solo another god or trade effectively. It would open up possibilities for her in other roles and make her a bit easier for lower level players to play.

I really liked the Yemoja part of the video. Probably my favorite bit.
