Lots of changes tbh, this my personal opinion about what is coming up in the MidSeason Patch 7.7.
-Rat: I think we all can agree that he is going to be super broken. He is receiving a nerf before patch comes to normal client, but still, I think he is broken, specially in solo rather than jungle.
-Baka, Nemesis, Arach, Erlang, Kali, Merc: All of them are moving up. With the buffs to golden blade + new katana + changes to pen, they are pretty good rn, and thats also the reason why ability base gods are moving down (Thor, Susano, Hun, etc, Thana and Pele maybe still really good bc of soul eater). Set is kinda in between because he got good buffs and he is okay with some katanas and soul eater, he might be seen in solo. As a consequence, Kumbha, Kuzenbo and Bellona are moving up too, they are pretty good against basic attack gods, Fafnir moves up as well since he sinergyzes well with these aa' comps. Ganesha is moving down because he was really good against ability gods, not that great against basic attack ones.
-Cthulu still pretty insane, but I don't think he is SS anymore with the nerfs,
-Freya, Sol, Chronos, Olorun: All of them are moving up as well. They all got buffs in these last patches and they are buffed as well with the new hecate. Freya specially might be broken again, since she can proc magus and hecate at the same time increasing telkhines passive in the process.
-Aprho & Hel & cama are still aids, fucking stop playing this gods, games became so boring , ty.
-Among all of the mages that are good with magus (most of them), Hera and Baron are the best imo. Baron got a buff and his lvl 1 rn is exactly the same that he got when he was released, so I think he can come back to the meta again (even in mid) + magus is really good on him since magus is single target and baron 3+2+1 is very single target too and the root gives potential for junglers/solos to go in with the magus passive on. On the other hand, Hera was never able to use magus on Argus, now she is able to do it since you can proc magus with your 1 or 2, then Argus on top, and Argus is going to deal more dmg since magus its a debuff that you place on an enemy and not a passive as it used to be.
-Baba Yaga is pretty insane rn with all the buffs she got, just try her out, she is kinda broken.
-Kukulkan is a little bit better with the buffs to book of thoth and warlock, I think double stacking with him shouldn't be that bad (only with him though, with the rest it fucking sucks).
-Thoth is getting some buffs(the nerfs he got are not going live, he instead got only buffs) + magus + the cdr buff he got in his 1 a few patches ago, he is pretty good imo, stop underrating him really, we don't want a Thoth meta again, and if you keep saying that he is garbage, hirez is going to keep buffing him, just stop it, please.
-Yemoja is receiving a great nerf with the new ankh, not only it will reduce her healing but also the shields, so she is not going to be broken anymore, I think thats the way to counterplay her. Nevertheless, I think she is pretty good because of all the pressure and control she brings.
-Guardians/mage solo laners, specially Cthulu, Artio, Cerberus, Jorm, Hades, Baron and maybe Zhong Kui are better with the buffs that some of them got (Artio, Cerb, Baron) and the changes to tyrannical, I found a pretty good build for them including this item. Jorm got a nerf that is actually working in the normal client, but he still feels okay, not that bad (although it was a great nerf tbh)
-Warriors in general are nerfed because of the changes to glad shield (thank god), but instead they can buy gaia/soul eater, they are not bad at all, specially SWK is the one buffed in this sense and glad shield is still good on him, so warriors main don't start crying, we don't like you, ty. King Arthur is the one that feels the worst with the change to glad shield, but he still can buy gaia, I don't think that he has to be that bad necessarily, worse? yea, bad? doesn't have to. Another that needs to be mention is Nike, she is pretty much gone with the new sunder that destroys shields. I placed her in -A because I think she might have some value still from solo, but from jungle she is actually garbage.
-Hunters in general are changing their builds bc of the changes to executioner and titans, some of them are favoured and some of them not that much, doesn't really change the conception of these picks really, crit is still fine bc of fail not coming back and wind demon also giving pen, and the pen build is good too. We are going to see more atalantas and soul eaters on hunters (atalantas almost on every one of them bc of the pen it has, and soul eater might be good with ability hunters like skadi, neith, maybe chiron, since it has pen, cdr. ability lifesteal since the very beginning and its cheaper)
PD: Loki I still think he is bad and I didn't even consider him with the new changes just because he is going to be reworked in like 2 or 3 patches.
ss
-Totally Broken. Picking gods on this tier would reward you with really high chances of winning.
s+
-Best gods right here. 1st picks/bans
s
-Gods that are really strong and should be taken into consideration if S+ are banned. (some might be 1st or 2nd picks/bans aswell)
s-
-Mostly your meta picks. They rarely get ban and usually are good choices with/against any comp.
a+
-Some of these gods may have more or less the same potential that S- picks have, but seemes a bit weaker. Some kinda can't be on/against any comp
a
- Average. These gods are 'balanced', or situational. They may seem to be powerful against some gods of higher tier or at some point of the game, but doesn't mean they are as good as that every single game. or during the whole game.
a-
- Not Bad, but not good either. These gods can be picked, but it's risky. Some are not that hard to counter.
b
- Bad. I don't think these gods should win a single game if you are facing a good enemy team.
c
- Welcome to the Anubis tier, or worst god in the game :D
