Fact of the day: Despite popular belief, mice are not fond of cheese. They’ll eat it if it’s the only thing around, but they prefer sweets and carbs, like fruit or grain.
@Celtic Phoenix thanks for the random fact internet person! I shall now use this as further justification for rings on Poseidon. His kids made it for him, I'm not role-playing as a bad father 🤣
I have found that there is one specific item that actually is quite surprisingly effective on Poseidon. And that's Gem of Isolation. Literally impossible to get out of the pool! Worth looking into, I believe.
Do people not like Hebo in the jungle anymore? I was surprised the hebo guide wasn't in jung and people playing posd in jung lately and he said if Ao K isn't available look for posd. I'd look at hebo personally
He bo's got good burst damage, but that's all he has really. He's probably the squishiest mage in the whole game and a bit of hard cc is enough to flip him over. His main damaging ability is also very short range, meaning you have to really get in deep to hit it, which further increases the risk of you getting absolutely destroyed by their team. If I'm gonna go a mage jungle, I would rather get poseidon or hell, even ra these days instead of a he bo, purely because even though they don't have a movement ability, their sheer amount of speed gives you good rotations. They also have bone crushing abilities that are long range, allowing you to stay safer.
@@fleshypotato4307 but isn't that part of the point? People play him in jungle because he functions like an assassin. His carpet keeps him relatively safe IN the jungle because it covers a lot of the jungle corridor and gives him speed/cleanses while slowing anyone chasing. He is squishy and needs to be close for one of his abilities but not many junglers have good range and they are mostly melee characters who fight in melee range anyway. Movement speed and high burst damage plus THE BEST CC in the game with that long range knockup? He's better than a lot of assassins I think. Slight amount of mobility in the ult too. He's good. Meta shifts always have people justify why a God is suddenly good or suddenly bad even though their kit and the items have barely changed if at all. The fact is, the meta is a bit arbitrary sometimes and people just fall into group think. Thoth is bad because XYZ, then boom nothing changes and he's suddenly good because ABC. Poseidon jungle just randomly fell out of the meta too and he didn't get nerfed or anything. The items he wants to build are still good. I think we all read too much into what the meta is and just justify whatever it currently is with random reasons.
So, I sort of expected gem of isolation to be mentioned. Is that not really a thing at higher levels of play? I see it from time to time, but I usually play Assault and Arena. Seems to really combine well with the whirlpool.
When Gem of Isolation's slow passive got nerfed (made it only last for 1 second) it really fall'd off pretty much every god that doesn't have a dot (on a god that it doesn't suck on is, for example, Raijin or Agni), and even then it isn't a bad item, its just that on Damage mages there are simply much better items. (solo lane guardians or mages it isn't a bad pickup)
I still do. The meta is weird. He was high up in the meta and not much changed but he dropped out pretty significantly and sees way less SPL play. He's still good with movement items, still good with rings and Hecate, still good with lifesteal. Still a good magical jungle if you can position like a mage and not dive TOO hard. It's interesting that subtle shifts knock some Gods out of play and bring others in. Thoth for instance had no changes and is rising in play. All the item changes that helped him would help Poseidon too since Pos abuses movement better.
My hatred for this god is unending. I learned to play Ama just so I can make life miserable for poseidon.. Oh you Krakened? Thanks for proccing my Gaia! Oh you have speed? Guess what, so do I, also say hi to my Frostbound Hammer. Nice guide anyways! Keep up the great work!
Move speed build, 2 rings (1 being hastened), 20-30%pen and a whirlpool. Ama is way more annoying in general tbf lol. Although, I mostly play mages and I love Poseidon so...
@@Kev1nL I dont agree, having a mage, who can soak a wave, rotate to duo lane, 1 bang the adc with his ult then return to mid before the next waves have even met is a bit stupid tbh. The other speedy mage is Ra and he actually has to stand still to channel his ult, opening up counterplay, while poseidon doesnt even slow down. If I am keeping a poseidon busy with Ama in a teamfight, get his beads or get Krakened by him for peel, it is a win in my books, since my carries are not getting Krakened.
@@veselinrankov7322 Ra can't match that but I'd say Kuku can and his damage can be even higher depending on build. He's slightly slower, but still pretty fast with his 2. I think he's a pretty good all-arounder for a bit of everything but he's not the best at anything BUT his speed, which is probably why he's falling off in the meta if I had to guess. I'd say even Hera could do better damage and has more CC and she's pretty fast with her 3, especially with Doom Orb. She can't quite clear as quickly or leave a DOT in lane, but if she clears and leaves lane immediately she can drop Argus on the sideline as an execute and then head back to Mid. There's enough counterplay for him to be beaten. I like him for some of the same reasons you hate him though lol. He's close to balanced IMO, slightly over the line but not much.
@@Kev1nL i am not saying he's OP or anything, i just really dont like him. Hera has worse self peel than him and her speed is tied to her defensive and once she drops her abilities her AAs are just not as good as poseidon, while he can keep delivering relevant damage. I guess everyone has a taste. Played baba yaga against him and it almost made me cry. Every time i tried to dash he would put a whirlpool underneath me, stop my dash, make it go on cooldown. It was the most infuriating game i have ever had
It's just you. His 3 does plenty already, it's a cripple and also has very nice tick damage. If I were to even consider buffing the ability, I'd maybe shorten the delay on its deployment since the opponent does sometimes escape the radius before it starts working.
His 3 being a cripple and not just a slow means it's perfectly fine. Any jungler that relies on movement (Baka, Set, etc) are useless as long as you can land it.
Poseidon is probably one of the most balanced gods in the game right now. Very clearly definied strengths and weaknesses. He's not OP, he's not weak. He is a good pick on certain comps and not a must have pick/ban.
His 3 is fine. Slight buff to his projectile speed and base attack speed would be nice.. like for Zeus and when they matched Freya and Sol atk speed to Oloruns. But that could also make him OP. I build him hybrid almost every time abs never build "pure damage" but even with the rings he has high power. Having your tide meter full all the time gives you back a lot of the power you would lose by building rings over traditional items since if you build no attack speed its easy to lose tide mid fight and takes a bit more to build back.
Are you leveling abilities in the order Incon said or you maxing the 1 first? Whirlpool does good damage. It's no Kuku tornado but it's good if you land it
7:03 Agni kills himself while trying to annoy Incon 😂😂

When you haven’t watched the video but automatically like it
You gotta
Can we all agree that's the best incon's outfit?
He got drip
We all simps of the incredible incon
25:59 That's alot of FREEDOM. Get flexed on.
Instant like! I've been waiting for this guide specifically! Thank you bro!😊
Same. Once he started making these I want Poseidon.
Wow. A Poseidon Agni matchup. Season 1 flashbacks are coming.
That agni is a legend 6:52
How about the power...to move you.
That’s telekinesis Kyle!
I always thought it was telekinesis ring. Wut even Greta work thx Incon
@Celtic Phoenix thanks for the random fact internet person! I shall now use this as further justification for rings on Poseidon. His kids made it for him, I'm not role-playing as a bad father 🤣
Came here because I've been sleeping on poseidon and just started playing him a lot. Didn't expect a tenacious D reference. Hell yeah.
That agni tried being cheeky and karma said no.

Poseidon hastened fatalis was hilariously fun in the old days
I LOL'd so hard at that agni tower dive
First time watching you in so long man, went off Smite for a while but picked it up again a few weeks ago, I've missed it🤣
That Agni suicide was hilarious 🤣

@@rafaelplugge3214 do you really not know that fell is a word or...?
Correction! Poseidon's passive does not give him 10% damage on his basic attacks, his basic attacks give him 10% of his passive.
This is the only skin perfect enough. Gotta have that big strong eagle.
How would/should I finish this build?
Athena has an Incon skin?
Ima like all 3.3k videos and everything for that 40k gems
@incon, idk if you know this... but thats not a kraken... thats freedom in the SEA
Pose Jg is the best pose
So like... is he going to do a revised Loki guide now that he’s reworked orrrr, nah?..
He’s gotta play him first
He mentioned that wants he goes through all the gods he will start again
That kraken is so god damned American!!!
man if I had that Poseidon skin I would play nothing else.
and that vaporvave one
I know how to play posidon. But I just like watching incon play mid
2 max full on hit Poseidon or bust.
I love these vids😌
Nice vid
Whoop first I get a free owl sent to my house now right? When it gets there it says whoooooos there
bruh we both commented on the same time, wanna share the first?

2.40 mill
The center damage and outer damage of the kraken is the same. They changed it a while back.
Also would really fucking appreciate the gems I’ve played this game for 6 years and only have spent like 100 dollars so 4,000 would really be a lot😁
