Make it Odysseus or something. Literally insert any significant mortal hero from Greek mythology and you could have him have secretly been a minion the whole time
6 years later, when the minion is released as a legit god. I imagine them to be a support god, with a passive worship, that boost the effectiveness of a single pantheon of gods on their team. I imagine them having a skill "command" where they can force other minions to attack specific targets I imagine "Turn the faithless", forcing enemy minions to become allied minions. The Minion is gonna have some pretty sick early gameplay, just like the minion
@@joeblack2809 I think they’ll stick to mythos. The only real person in the game is Guan and he was made into a saint. So I don’t think they’ll start putting in real generals.
I was really hoping they would mention a secret passive called winions. It only activates when the opposing gods map awareness is terrible and they walk straight to the Titan
Now I actually want this to happen. A "God" of Minions, an original character that has entered the battlefield to fight for his people. Tired to see his kind being used and mistreated by the gods, he decided to take up arms and avenge his kin. An antithesis to the gods, with a "reject divinity, embrace mortality" philosophy. His kit could even have skills that interact with the minions. Afterall, *someone* has to fight for humanity. Also, making him the size of a normal minion would be a plus :p
@@kingofdragons7 it would be a good concept, a character that could remove so much damage, that the deity would be just a "minion" (as removing defense would be a motive of complain)
Yeah, there are a number of retired MotD options that I miss. Body Swap and Ultra Hyper Joust Turbo are the ones that seem to have disappeared that I miss the most, but Domination would be nice to have as an option as well.
I would love a “god” who’s entire identity is focused on being a minion general. He could have an ability similar to Ares, empowering all minions within a certain radius. His ultimate could be similar to Baka’s, summoning a small army of minions to fight by his side
kinda does bring into question about the minions,though: they are mortal yet are capable of taking out a god if there are enough of them or the god is already weak enough.
Yeah, level 1 or 2 in lane means be wary of minions. I sorta thought that there would be a joke about how any god can be humbled by minions... at level 1.
omg, they are no doubt having so much fun making this one. Been on and off SMITE yet trailers are always the first thing that pops in my mind when it comes to the game, they are that good.
I’m gonna name him Populi, god of the people, he should have a stance switch ability in his 1-3 and live the buff firm idea. Maybe a passive tied to the number of minions near them could work. I like the idea
I honestly think they should add this to the game. When you beat the oni instead of wave you get one of theses included in a normal wave. would seem so much better.
I want to see a Record Of Ragnarok collaboration where the human heroes from that series are earnable as playable heroes in this game. Tesla, Lu Bu, Adam, Simo Hayha etc would be AMAZING. Jack The Ripper might be OP in smite.
the trailer was actually kinda hype leading in (everybody loves an underdog), but then the abilities just shat all over that. Poor minion, you'll get your time to shine some day.
If you know karma from league of legends ability she was able to empower allies and minions with (e -1 unit cast)a shield and movespeed with her ult which makes the e now empower multiple allies and minions bigger shield as well.
Not gonna lie...... this kind of made me want the minion as a God 😂😂 and I actually think the first 2 abilities were good abilities 😂 idk about the 3rd, and the fourth would be good if it only summoned like the first 4 minions you see in the frame and a buff that isn't crazy OP and I think it'd be a good ultimate
i always wished for a mode where everyone plays as minions and the gods are all ai controlled. The players would have to team up and rely on support from their own ai gods to have any chance of striking down enemy gods.
These guys did the same thing with Manticore and now he is a proper god in Smite as "Martichoras". Who knows the same might happen with the Minion as well and get a really cool god as him
The minion could be a rival of Ullr (Similar to Goku and Vegeta). Passive: Eagle Eye - The Minion gains increased attack speed when ally archer minions are nearby (lasts 3s) The Minion has: 5% crit chance against hunters/assassins/mages 10% crit chance against warriors/tanks 1st Ability: Krak Shot - Enemies are pierced and receive 10% reduced protections, followed by an explosive burst of damage. 2nd Ability: Hold My Cloak - Nearby enemies are pulled in and wrapped in The Minion's cloak (taking ramping tick damage). After 2 seconds (if still within range) the enemies are rooted. 3rd Ability: Combat Roll - The Minion rolls forward (passes through enemies) and gains increased movement and attack speed for 4s. If passing through an enemy: hunter/assassin/mage, the enemy is slowed. Warrior/Guardian, they are stunned. Ultimate: (Last Mission) A giant slow field (similar to Bakasura ult and Anubis 3). Fallen minions come from the ground and grab onto enemies. The grab chain is increase slow, then root (.5), then stun. Enemies take increased damage the longer they are in the field and have scaling defense removed based on their defense (tanks take more damage). The effect remains in place 2 seconds after leaving the field. Or Protege - The Minion locks on to an enemy god and fires 3 arrows in a row (2 gold, 1 silverish white). If the enemy is slowed they take increased damaged. If they are stunned and below 15% they are executed. (Stun intentionally left out of his kit, except against tanks).
...This is making me imagine the MC of the Overlord game series as a God. *Name:* Overlord, God of Minions *Role:* Hunter, melee, physical *Passive: Minions!* A squad of Minions equal to the Overlords level will follow the Overlord around, attacking enemy units that enter their range. All Minions on the map will drop Lifeforce when killed that can be collected by the Overlord. Lifeforce will automatically be spent to replenish any of his lost Minions at the Fountain, and excess Lifeforce will be converted to health and mana. The Overlord has 4 types of Minions under his command, and they will spawn in the following order: *-Browns!* Melee Minions that deal physical damage and have physical damage reduction and higher health than other minions. *-Reds!* Ranged Minions that deal magical damage and apply a burning effect, dealing damage over time. *-Greens!* Melee Minions that deal physical damage and apply a poison effect, dealing damage over time and slowing the target. Deals extra damage when attacking from behind. *-Blues!* Melee Minions that deal magical damage and have magical damage reduction. Will not attack unless ordered to, healing nearby Minions instead, but will become untargetable, gain phased movement, and will deal magic damage to any enemy units they pass through on their way to the target when ordered by Sweep! *1st Ability: Sweep!* Command Minions to sweep towards a targeted area and attack anything they encounter along the way. Canceling this ability will cause all Minions to stop fighting and return to the Overlord. _Minions are very stupid Master, so don't expect them to always do exactly what you want. -Gnarl, Minion Master_ *2nd Ability: Fireball!* Hurl a ball of fire at the targeted area, igniting it and dealing damage over time. Enemies hit directly by the initial blast will be ignited and continue to burn even outside the area of affect. *Ability 3: Berserk!* Boosts the damage, attack speed, and movement speed of any allied nearby units for a short time. Minions under the effect of Berserk cannot be recalled by Sweep! *Ultimate: Domination!* The Overlord shoots a bolt of magic lightning. If the bolt strikes an enemy Minion, they will explode and deal damage in an area around them. If an enemy God or jungle creep is hit, the Overlord will begin channeling, Dominating the target. While Dominated, the target will behave like a Minion, and will respond to the last Sweep! command issued if still active. The Overlord cannot attack, use items, or other abilities while channeling Domination!, and if the target or the Overlord move too far away from each other, or if the Overlord is stunned while channeling, the effect will be ended.
Remember, they did the same thing to the Manticore when he was a mob boss. Who knows? We might get a real Minion God in the future.
Make it Odysseus or something. Literally insert any significant mortal hero from Greek mythology and you could have him have secretly been a minion the whole time
Season XX
maybe Odyseus?
Kratos coming soon
Maybe not the minion but the “I’m not even in the game” from lore lady might be some teasing
This guy is better than 80% of my ranked teammates.
80% of my ranked teamates are on console, dead game
Well hes trying his best
No cap
@@appie4976 yep vast majority of the community is console
VEG though
If Lore Lady doesn't get her own God Reveal, I'm uninstalling 🤣
She eventually gets revealed to really be Clotho or Urðr
She's a muse or something.
Gods and godesses, WELCOME to the god reveal for... ME
They kind of have one it's under SMITE - Let's Meet The Lore Lady for a title.
@@ElJorro Honestly she would be perfect as a Fate too.
6 years later, when the minion is released as a legit god.
I imagine them to be a support god, with a passive worship, that boost the effectiveness of a single pantheon of gods on their team.
I imagine them having a skill "command" where they can force other minions to attack specific targets
I imagine "Turn the faithless", forcing enemy minions to become allied minions. The Minion is gonna have some pretty sick early gameplay, just like the minion
If they do then they should release one of the legendary epic heroes. Maybe Jason or Beowulf or a general of an army like Hannibal.
Make is Jason and the argonauts, buff nearby minions and is able to control/ lead them around
Imagine the level 1 ganks and invades! Ez F6
@@joeblack2809 I think they’ll stick to mythos. The only real person in the game is Guan and he was made into a saint. So I don’t think they’ll start putting in real generals.
@@SchrodingerMil ohhh really guan yu isn’t an actually God. But more like a canonized Chinese warrior Saint god
Finally, a balanced god release!
Lol
Then they give all of his abilities 200% scaling at rank one 😂😂😂
It has a bow it will never be balanced
“The manticore actually happened?” God what an amazing long running joke since 2014, can’t wait to see the next god reveal for Fenrir
I was really hoping they would mention a secret passive called winions. It only activates when the opposing gods map awareness is terrible and they walk straight to the Titan
Another passive is the archer minions somehow always getting the last hit on you
Give it a few years and he’ll end up as a official character. I mean look at the manticore as an example.
Call him Agamemnon and all who knpw who that is will enjoy beating him up
What about the manticore ?
And remember that cyclope bacchus skin
@@ProgrQWow he was originally a fake April fools release too
I lost it once they got to the passive 😂
That was the best part 100% 😂😂
Now I actually want this to happen. A "God" of Minions, an original character that has entered the battlefield to fight for his people. Tired to see his kind being used and mistreated by the gods, he decided to take up arms and avenge his kin. An antithesis to the gods, with a "reject divinity, embrace mortality" philosophy.

Also, making him the size of a normal minion would be a plus :p
So basically Kratos
@@donarthunaraz9361 Kratos is a demigod. And then there is the actual Kratos from Greek mythology, who is the god of strenght/power.
What fool would reject divinity and embrace mortality? 😂
@@kingofdragons7 it would be a good concept, a character that could remove so much damage, that the deity would be just a "minion" (as removing defense would be a motive of complain)
pantheon from league
What's a god to a non believer? 😎
Broly: Do you believe now
@@bickboi9633 beerus: nope
The guy who oneshots you with a lightning bolt
Who don't believe in anything?
Is a God
I freaking love lore lady I hope she gets to voice a god one day I have her as my Announcer thingy
Same
welp, granted
Hey, we got the manticore too after 6 years.
Domination sand guardian gives so much nostalgia. I wish Domination would come back as a motd again.
Yeah, there are a number of retired MotD options that I miss. Body Swap and Ultra Hyper Joust Turbo are the ones that seem to have disappeared that I miss the most, but Domination would be nice to have as an option as well.
The biggest difference between the Minions and my teammates is that the Minions actually are aware when an enemy player rotates to another lane.
Honestly, the Minion would be the only character I’d play ever again if they came out. Gotta love the gods being able to be humbled
The Minion has won so many games for me I'm shocked he didn't get get a video sooner
I would love a “god” who’s entire identity is focused on being a minion general. He could have an ability similar to Ares, empowering all minions within a certain radius. His ultimate could be similar to Baka’s, summoning a small army of minions to fight by his side
Hearing Lady of the Lore say damnit in her regular voice is almost enough to get me back into smite.
I can't wait to play The Minion. He must be really strong in his mythos considering he is the God of something, just next to the God of everything.
The introductory cinematic for this was so friggin good. Now I want it 🤭
Finally, a non broken god.
kinda does bring into question about the minions,though: they are mortal yet are capable of taking out a god if there are enough of them or the god is already weak enough.
ahem.. Kratos.. ahem
DO YOU SEE GODS OF OLYMPUS!? DO YOU NEED MORE PROOF THAN THIS!?
@@undscvr Kratos is a demigod
Yeah, level 1 or 2 in lane means be wary of minions. I sorta thought that there would be a joke about how any god can be humbled by minions... at level 1.
So excited for this one!!
"I can die a happy valet, if i serve a worthy King" - Minion
Finally, my main
I don't want this to be a joke, I wanna be a minion.
Finally a balanced God it took ages but its finally here :) Cant wait to play him XD
omg, they are no doubt having so much fun making this one.
Been on and off SMITE yet trailers are always the first thing that pops in my mind when it comes to the game, they are that good.
Watch this become a legit god years later.
I’m gonna name him Populi, god of the people, he should have a stance switch ability in his 1-3 and live the buff firm idea. Maybe a passive tied to the number of minions near them could work. I like the idea
I honestly think they should add this to the game. When you beat the oni instead of wave you get one of theses included in a normal wave. would seem so much better.
Was totally unironically hyped about this before I remembered what day it was.
por fin se hace honor a mis buenos plays en el campo de batalla!
The orange cat was an excellent touch
It’s Manticore all over again. Maybe they’ll backtrack in a few years and make the minion a real thing.
I want to see a Record Of Ragnarok collaboration where the human heroes from that series are earnable as playable heroes in this game. Tesla, Lu Bu, Adam, Simo Hayha etc would be AMAZING. Jack The Ripper might be OP in smite.
I was expecting Bakasura to burst in flames after eating him.
*2:29 I hope this statement changes soon.
Maybe a little teaser
Nut teaser 😚
Now the minion will know same pain of being ridiculed as the manticore did from 2016 before Martichoras
Damn this is awesome! Can’t wait for a fire minion release😊
Don't nerf the minion like that. That's the homie right there lol
The OG God
the trailer was actually kinda hype leading in (everybody loves an underdog), but then the abilities just shat all over that. Poor minion, you'll get your time to shine some day.
As much as I want a minion god, with the ability to enhance minion waves somehow, I feel it would be so op and that’s why sadly it will never happen.
That's right.
If you know karma from league of legends ability she was able to empower allies and minions with (e -1 unit cast)a shield and movespeed with her ult which makes the e now empower multiple allies and minions bigger shield as well.
Um Janus is still in the game so I don't think they care about what's op
Thank God for that 1% speedbuff to light jog
Not gonna lie...... this kind of made me want the minion as a God 😂😂 and I actually think the first 2 abilities were good abilities 😂 idk about the 3rd, and the fourth would be good if it only summoned like the first 4 minions you see in the frame and a buff that isn't crazy OP and I think it'd be a good ultimate
Getting major The Smite Office flashbacks right now
Now Hi-Rez rubbing their hands together to collect on the hype around the Minion after Martichoras became a thing after all these years.
They are gonna run out of ideas cause they did the Manticore, and now he's actually in the game, lol 😂
Yo that was Mez at the end!! Boy that voice takes me back
"And then, 5 years from now, the minion will get its revenge, becoming the God slayer, behold, Kratos"
Can't wait to play this character next decade
i always wished for a mode where everyone plays as minions and the gods are all ai controlled. The players would have to team up and rely on support from their own ai gods to have any chance of striking down enemy gods.
Kratos confirmed 100% from mortal to immortal
The Minion is so intimidating it force Hercules to use his ult.
I was really confused and then I realized what day it is. Lol I love this tradition.
Now... I haven't played smite since they added Merlin, but I still gotta love the Smite producers for this kind of stuff
Lore lady sounds like she had fun with this one haha great work
WAS THAT FROST
Lore Lady: "I'm not even a playable character.."
Me: "Not yet"
I forgot it was April fools until I got my yearly reminder from Smite Hi Rez
finally mercury gets an updated reveal trailer
Real ones remember that Mythymoo had already covered the minion god reveal
Rest in peace Lore Lady, you will be missed
The moment she said the passive is "Light Jog" I had to pause the video and collect myself.
A new smite adventure where everybody plays as a minion around AI controlled random gods
And here I thought the Minion's broken passive was the almighty "Bodyblocking"
Or "Minion aggro" during early game
@Smite i was actually happy for this reveal xD make this come true a minion god will be so fun !
A team fight! Pantheon ult to there now!
Pantheon in question:
“Light Jog” killed me lmaoooo
dont mind me laughing hysterically at "the minions passive, light jog..." took me out
*Dicaprio face*: oh, it's me
Okay but like a one laned adventure where players fight as minions sounds fun
this minion will reach godhood like Heracles
Lore Lady as a playable god or skin next year!
Most likely a skin for Sol.
Minion - god of unplanned level 1 deaths
"close the gap in a moderate but not unreasonable amount of time" LMFAO
Though I don't play this game. But I manifested that a minion will finally have a spot.
For now, the battlefield belongs to the gods. But soon, when all of them are dead, it will be the doMINION of the mortals.
Best April 1st headline so far.
In addition to releasing the minion leader, Smite are fixing pre-game disconnection issues on the Nintendo Switch.
Hi-Rez are the best 😊
These guys did the same thing with Manticore and now he is a proper god in Smite as "Martichoras". Who knows the same might happen with the Minion as well and get a really cool god as him
The minion: God of Cannon fodder
Rmbr, the minion never misses his basic attacks.
Wow that has to be one of the best ones you have done on this day of days.
"The God of Early Game Laning Phase"

I remember when they announced the manticore as god for April fools once. It seems Hi-res hasn't learned their lesson
The irony when Lore Lady says “god dammit”
Yaa, we coming for you FOR HONOR, this is a declaration of war!!!
Well, if its not a God. We just can believe in it until it becomes one.
...This is making me imagine the MC of the Overlord game series as a God.
*Name:* Overlord, God of Minions

I love that they have done this every year since launch.
Not a minion God just literally minion. Just one minion who rose above the rest and represents what it means to be but a man.
Thank you for keeping this joke going... love it
Can't wait for the next character: Turret
Nice of Mez to make an appearance again.
HP is 420.. wait wait.. 420 HP = 420 Life , Smomomo!!
they did it they actually did it....... they turned sett into a minion literally
It would be awesome if there was a mode where it’s pure minions
