How ARE skins going to even work with Shiva anyway? He’s _heavily_ tailored to his home religion, which is still worshiped by the most populous religion on the planet. I could think of a billion awesome skins that be a no brainer on the other gods, but Hi Rez has to make sure they don’t rub his living worshippers the wrong way. Guest character battle passes _may or may not_ be a good workaround, depending on who the skin represents for Shiva.
Search Tandava and you will come to know what the dance is about. Also, at 6:41, you see the Natraj pose, which is again considered as one of the most auspicious poses. There are many studies on how mathematically accurate and perfect the pose it and what not. Lord Shiva is the supreme lord ! Har Har Mahadev!
In fact, Harish Bhimani was the narrator legend of Mahabharat and also he can lead another his voice like commercials, tv series until now Lord Shiva as his voice actor. Main Samay Hoon
Even while I don't really care for Mr. Bhimani's voice of him (Shiva doesn't really fit the grandfatherly voice he gave him, IMO), I can totally respect the choice, mainly as it is a super fitting choice for Shiva's VA.
Technically, Shiva's wife is Parvati, and Kali is a manifestation/incarnation of Parvati that represents the ferocity and rage that a mother will exhibit when standing up to injustices against her children.
Wow. This god is amazing. First his look, then that kit and I'm a Guardian main, is totally nice. Also his jokes and then the lose/win screen is daaang yea. I'm glad he joins the roster.
Most likely Shiva will not have skins that modify him, as HI Rez was very careful in his release. Shiva is extremely worshiped today. Practically the Jesus of the Hindu. The game will be careful not to have problems in the future like Ganesha did.
There is no Jesus equivalent in Hindu mythology. Shiva is just one of the three most important deities worshipped, he even mentions the Trimurtis in his voice lines. Also, if you think people will take offense to skins then look at Indian cartoons they already dress up the gods in all sorts of costumes. Crazy people will always complain.
Well, he drank the poison “halahall” which was potent enough to kill all of creation, and was the balancing outcome of “Amrutam” the nectar of immortality, Shiva on his own will drank all of the Halahall thus allowing the formation of the nectar which all other lesser gods drank to attain immortality, (within the causal nature of universe). Likewise Jesus is said to have died to absorb sins of all of humanity, this self sacrifice nature thus are somewhat similar between Shiva and Jesus, but if we see Shiva’s true nature, it will not be long before you realise that he is the father Jesus is referring to.
@@blackbored-p3m I would be very careful with providing reductionist views on the culture of a country that Christianity tried very hard to destroy for 200 years.

You gotta thank excessively radical part of indians for that. Hi-rez already had some controversies regarding hindu portrayal in the past, if there are more hindu gods planned for the future, accuracy is the only way to add them without problems.

Yeah shiva is of trimurti..(3 gods) u can say all 3 are same but in different forms but all 3 has different roles. Shiva is actually supreme among them
I don't think Vishnu will be in the game since some of his avatars are already in the game (Rama, Vamana). I think they will do avatars of Vishnu only, also some avatars like Narasimha and Varaha will be very interesting.

He's a Warrior and definitely strikes me as a Support or Solo laner. A walking Meditation Cloak. I tried him in Jungle, but he shines in 5v5 teamfights. He's hella strong. Will be nerfed for sure.
Doubt they wouldn't. Ganesha is just as much of a worshipped figure in Hinduism, and look at how his skins make him a DJ, a mouse in a mech, and a stuffed animal. I'd imagine some stuff won't be done with him (namely, any "evil" skin would spark the controversies originally started by the OG version of Kali), but skins can be done for him without risking anger from some of the more religious believers of Hinduism.
@@ainsleyharriot6060 Not a very good comparison, as worship for those in the modern day is moreso a pagan thing, even with the large Yoruba-focused cult in Brazil.

Not a fan of the Warrior role since they nerfed the Odin Bird-Bomb. Heck i don't respect the warrior class at all.
