Congratulations, you made it to the end of the description. You are now one of the chosen few. Give Cerberus a Nene Kappa.

[DukeSloth]

Quick reminder to watch the video before saying "hurr durr cerb is not trash". The conclusion of the vid is at no point that he is entirely bad as a god or trash tier.

[TheKing-qzwd]

He's not weak. His one is just impractical. You have to stack up three heads, line up 4 projeciles, which come from 3 different angles and have 4 different timings with a convergence point the size of a grain of rice, just to get a simple stun.

The amount of things taht can go wrong in the process of this are almost innumerable. His two is fine. His three is ok, short range, but ok. His ult is actaully very nice, but basically does no damage. It's all that damn stun. If that stun was easier to use, I think Cerberus would be in a better place.

[Jsharts]

Give cerberus an Nene Kappa only if we give Kuzenbo a gun

[GreyPikmin]

The impracticality of his one is what holds him back. You have to have all three heads active and line up four projectiles to hit in just the right spot (which is hilariously small) for a stun. A single stun. Why use him when Fafnir has a better leap, more reliable sustain and an easier stun.

The one is so awful it seems to go against his play style. The short range of his two, the leap spawning ghosts when you land on someone, and the ultimate all encourage Cerb to be close to people and initiate, but to get off a hard cc you either get the enemy to run from you instead of fight back to get at just the right distance to hit all four projectiles or use the ultimate to try and set it up, which like you said, isn’t reliable.

If it were up to me, I’d make the one more like Kali’s where you can alter the point there the projectiles converge and stun, so he can combo it with the leap and slow much more reliably, but reduce the stun duration to maybe only 1.5 at max. Maybe shave down the scaling a bit.

[themidgardseperntjorm]

HOW DARE YOU CALL ME WEAK (ok maybe a little but not thaaat weak) GIVE ME SOME BONES PEOPLE

[ryanturner]

Hi rez needs to make the stun proc if you hit the middle projectile and if you hit all 3 or even 2 out of 3 the stun will last longer. Oh and while your at it hi rez giving the gashtly breath protection steal it would encourage he agressive playstlye and incentivise the right plays.

[ALUCARD]

I have a rank 9 Cerberus, and i have to agree with you completely.

[Experion]

Ehhh, he feels lacking/boring idk why he just does

[dimitrescu]

Cerberus is nah....even doing full tank you will die fast, different for khumba, athena, ymir, sobek, xing even sylvanus. Cerberus stun is slow and harder then Fafnir to hit. I like him but he are still lacking in most of the ways.

[abshirahmed]

make his leap further and make his stun easier to hit but lower the damage becuase its hits harder than thanatos 1 when it stuns

[tudorciubotaru]

He sounds really strong on paper, but I just find him extremely clunky while playing him. Maybe after 100 Hi-Rez patches, he'll be as stron as Kuz. Until then...

[Jskboi]

I had an idea on how he could be stronger, his passive makes me think he's the counter to healing so that's what his kit should also have:

Passive; keep as it is, maybe make the anti heal a bit stronger, also all of his abilities have x% anti healing on them

His 1; make it a straight line, roots instead of stuns, add a slow and cripple for like 2 seconds, maybe take the damage down a bit

His 2: Increase the duration to 5 seconds, cripples for the duration, leaves a lingering pool of fire for each tick

His 3; cooldown is reduced by .5 for each minion hit, when cerb hits a god, a portion of that damage is dealt to them

His ult: I'm pretty sure all they'd need to do is get rid of the wind up time and it would be fine

But yeah that's my idea of how to make it much more effective as a bruiser anti heal Mage, lemme know what you guys think 👌🏻

[bananamonkey]

Cerberus is trash only as a guardian and a support but I've played him in the solo and middle lane and he has an incredibly good potential. I see his 1 like its super hard to hit but if you hit it the target is dead if you don't hit it then you just need to run and wait to try again, I have him at rank 10 with 1 star and I can say he is not trash as a god but he is hard to use and build correctly in late game i was one shoting the enemy ADC, asaasin and the mage i just needed to hit his 1 that i do 60% of the times which is high if you take the point that the target will be dead if you hit it.

[MewSquared]

As much as I love Cerberus, he does need some work. The 1 needs to be quicker and easier to hit but it needs its damage slightly reduced. His 3 could be quicker as well.

His cooldowns are also ridiculous. You pretty much have to max out his CDR if you want to be anywhere near effective with him. I was hoping for more buffs in 5.4 but I guess I can wait for 5.5 if Hi-Rez is even thinking about buffing him again.

[andnl]

Great video as always. Sadly the wrong abilities were displayed for most of the video

[pgrane]

In terms of kit i love it. I think its a cool kit the problem with it it's that is hard to use.
The main ability is the one, and its so hard to make a good impact with it.
Even thought it does a lot of damage, as a a support and in terms of cc he is so lackluster, a part from the ult, that you can beads, the slow is good but the stun is nearly imposible to get it right.
As for me, when they released it i thought it was so weak. After the buffs im enjoying a LOT. And after a bit of practice you start getting in tone with hitting the stun. But its so hard to do so.

PS: after watching the video i agree with you in everything. Nice video

[yura]

I dislike the fact that before every god release someone at Hi-Rez seems to go "so what is something incredibly special we can do with this god?" and that sounds nice, but ends up being annoying or pointless like Acchiles having all the utility and choice or those little orbs that explode out of Discordia's 1.

[turtlenator]

3:05 Yes, that is definitely Ghastly Breath.

[joshuashield]

Landing that crispy spit stun and doing a crap ton of damage to squishies makes me insanely moist.

[logam]

at 3:00 starts taking about ghastly breath but puts up poisonous spit on screen >.>
EDIT: and 7:00 you put up the ult when talking about the 3, long night of editting i guess :P
