whats crazy is, even at lvl 15 with a power build, she has trouble clearing camps and waves lol she's very underwhelming with a lot of bugs. She has soooo much potential though
People saying she’s weak and shit need to get good, I’ve literally been outputting massive amounts of damage, her clear is pretty good and if you build her right she can be quite strong, her 2 and her Ult is just very buggy tho
She's actually pretty close the the worst god in the game. Any C tier and lower god can out clear her and win a 1v1 (assuming the players are equally skilled)
I agree she just feels ok not to good but not terrible she just feels meh... to me I not sold on her I feel that there are still much better choices especially merlin, persephone, and rajin
Love her kit. It's really fun and her design is really cool but I agree that the ult is just sad. If it just had a slightly faster projectile speed and smoother movement controls then it could be decent.
Thoughts on guardians blessing on her? Seems kind of OP to be able to stack it whilst killing lane minions, and her builds are always very expensive since you want to build so much power
I'd say the oval shape is the best shape for trapping enemies. You can intentionally "miss" it by making sure the enemy God(s) is(are) inside it. Well that situation is good if the effect is negative so they have to either stay, walk through it or use mobility move.
Yeah, but if you get an effect that works on your allies only it's a useless tactic and oval damage is still harder to hit, i think it would be cool for the effect on the oval to apply also in the area inside of it, seems logical since it is a closed shape.
Don't think it's that much of a viable strat, even if you get a debuff. She doesn't have enough damage in her other abilities for her to be able to afford missing the 1 on purpose.
Weird thing about Polynomicon. It doesn't seem like her 2 activates it whatsoever. Upon summoning a potion, throwing one, or storing one, polynomicon doesn't activate. I was hoping to experiment in Jungle Practice with a Gem of Iso, Polynomicon build. With a stored potion already, you throw your 1, then auto, then summon a new potion, throw it, auto, and then you bring out your stored potion, throw that, and auto. That's a total of 3 spell casts and 3 polynomicon pops in a short span of time all while they're slowed. Then if they aren't goners you can use your Ultimate for the shield and the Gem of Iso makes landing your initial shots easier, and keeps them stuck in the hellfire for longer. Since Polynomicon doesn't work though, that went kaput. I figured it was a balance decision, but with how bugged out she is I couldn't really be sure.
She is still buggy or she feels like it. I'm surprised? No Her 1 animation sometimes does not go off making it so weird as a player, Her 2 sometimes make the potion go to the consumable right away. The 3 is fine and it does a ton of damage. The ult the only thing that I can say is fix it, it just has so much delay
They should make a separate key like left dpad on console so that baba yoga can toggle placing the cabin where she wants by tapping the key or holding it and let the cabin roam how it wants
@Plop Plop yeah that makes sense but if it always runs the enemy God has to chase it to build energy and who is going to chase it for longer than like 2 or 3 seconds
@Plop Plop very true but I think the distance is too small if you watch the video again at the part where it shows the distance before it runs its like a 10 unit distance ring around it before it starts running
I love the idea that she's this chaotic entity where you have no idea what to expect from her. Is she gonna tank me? Run me down? It really sells her lore of being unpredictable
Sir_salt_lord The first and only game I played. That happened with the 2 before the game started, and that happened to me like 2 minutes in. I had two abilities most the game. I was getting flashbacks to Morrigan’s release, except Babayaga shouldn’t be as hard to program
1 joust and 1 conquest 8/1 in joust, 1 death was a tower dive 10/0 in conquest mid She is very good, but that being said she honestly doesn't feel that overpowered either. Her wind ups and random features keep her somewhat grounded and her ultimate, while clunky, just needs to be used at the right time. She can get so far ahead with stacking items. Bugs aside, big fan of this release.
A thing I've noticed about Baba is that her 1 can actually hit the same target more than once, albeit for reduced damage. This is another reason why her "Y" shaped 1 is the strongest shape, because if aimed perfectly, it will deal this bonus damage twice.
I feel like her 1 should keep the effect on you like the protection or movement speed for like 3 or 4 seconds, and also the silence on the enemies and the slow, would be a good way to buff her, might make her op tho idk
James Eubanks yeah, but sometimes it’s pointless, like if you get an oval with protection wtf is that gonna do if you just stand in it you’ll get fucked
She’s still buggy like I was in joust and my 2 was glitched and just had the potions out I couldn’t use the two for the whole game even after death then my ult was glitched by the end like if I lured nothing would come out but then after the house goes away I as Baba Yaga was as throwing the ult as Baba Yaga not the house it was kinda op tho since they didn’t know where it was coming from
I also used gauntlet of thebes as well to help with tanki plus warlocks. Then the rest could be situational mix or damage focus and it helps with survivability and still bruiser
I’ve been playing smite for a bit I’ve taken some breaks sometimes but I’ve always been pretty good and I’ve gotten a lot of games where I carried my teammates and recently I got to level 30 so I wanted to try out ranked and it really showed me just how wrong I was about being good at the game so I’d very much appreciate it if anyone could give me any tips, common knowledge, just anything to help me on my journey to try to become better so people dont call me trash all the time
Look play for fun man if people call you trash just brush it off. No matter how good you get there will always be someone that's gonna call you trash anyway.
If you don't want to be called trash just don't play rankeds...in most if not all of the matches you will get at least 1 toxic player, so i would reccomend you to stay in casuals because let me tell you...if you don't like toxic players you will not have fun in rankeds
In conquest that stupid cabin is going to let everyone know your in the jungle area and where you might be headed. Stupid. That being said... I think she’ll be a great solo or mid. Also great at arena.
Having played Baba for a day I would say her 3 is more useful as an engage against the enemy mid. Me and another baba would throw our 1, 3 then 2 trying to poke the other because her escape would often just be useless due to the slowdown bein ineffective when chased. Her ult feels lacking due to how weak it was when compared to the rest of her kit and can get her killed even in team fights. That said her 1 is great for disorienting the enemy and her 2 is also great for damage. However her ult can still trigger the no wildfire bug meaning you'll be in the cabin but can't trigger the walking fire.
I think in more competetive modes, like conq duel or joust (ranked or non) leveling the 1 is better, for better clear. In more aggro, casual modes (arena, assault, clash, motd, siege if you accidentally queue it) it would be better to max the 2 for more burst damage and fighting potential. Just my thoughts for leveling order.
I think she is more of a hybrid focus mage, for starters her 1 has fairly good base dmg, to the point that even if you dont build much power it can hit adc and mages with little no none protections, also gem of iso has the potential of being really good with the ult, since there are 4 proyectiles that can cover a fairly good area. Also i think Pridwen might be a good item also, if you build urchin, you already have mixed defenses, and pridwen boosts that also giving you more CD so you can ult more, and potentially be the one initating teamfights with a big knock up, shield from your ult, and another shield after it ends.TLDR i see her more as a solo god, if you cant potentially get her through the struggle of the early lane phase.
Little Baba Yaya pro tip: When building mages or guardians blessing.. As soon as you're in the game rush out of base, walk up to the enemy's mid tower and back there. Get your blessing and other items and enjoy your free tons of stacks before the game even started. Also you can try to roll for the bow form defense buff on your 1 as i at least found this the most useful form at level 1 due to its big area to stand in it without standing in the enemy's wave. Enjoy tryharding xD
She looks insanely fun and I could one shot squishies in the ultra late game with her 2 and 1. Early game is definitely where she's not too good but it only goes uphill from there. Very buggy but amazing design and gameplan etc. Loving her rn as a mid.
I feel like she is the only Mage that can truly work with warlock staff. I also think she can totally go for a 40% pen build with no flat pen at all, being warlocks, book of thoth, charons coin, soul reaver. It's a really expensive build yes but games are going to 30+ minutes easily nowadays, she can just farm until late game.
What about Staff of Myrdin? I know, you need to use the ultimate and all, but you get to use two [hopefully] different 1 shapes and effects or 3 Baba's brew too. Or even twice the 3. Since when you use the ultimate you are probably going to be close to the enemy or atleast going to, or even more, by the time the ultimate finishes you'll have atleast 1 ability off cooldown if you used all the kit
Even though Charon's Coin is an evolving stack item, Baba's passive doesn't seem to affect it... I've been doing Book of Thoth / Dead and it has been working super well. She is a monster late game.
Now that you talking about a mage, I would appreciate a mage build guide. I've been watching SPL and for what I've seen there's a lot of builds and variants, as a main mid I would like to understand where the meta is going to :(
Have you tested new spear of magus or made a video of it? Is it rlly as bad as people say? I saw it built in spl and was wondering about it’s current state on tick dmg.
I would debate if in her current state you want to level her ult at all It does less consistent damage than all your other abilities Its harder to hit than all her other abilities (thats saying something for rng skill shapes) Doesnt allow you to do anything besides run around and throw molotova at the ground Whenever you try to finish someone with it, you dont Ive played her and against her and whenever she ults she just becomes a very easy target to kill/life steal from/force to disengage. The only use that I really get out of it is the knock up when my 3 is on cd because even if I try to combo it with someone elses ult it doesnt feel very benefiting
Her base damage seems super low, and her second ability actually seems surprisingly difficult to hit. I would like to see her base damage increase and either an increased area of effect or increased travel speed on her second ability.
I've definitely popped off on. 12 kill streak steamroll with 41k damage, so I am not sure why people say she is weak. She struggles killing tanks and a few warriors. Although if built right she shits on jungles, mages and ADCs.
I’ve had three matches where my ult wouldn’t work correctly: one where I would shoot two shots out then transform back into baba and shoot the last two shots as baba. The other match was the same problem from pts where you would use the ult and wouldn’t be able to shoot out
In arena i found 6 bugs with baba yaga fun fact if you stack 2 potions you cant use your 2 and your ult dosnt work half the time because you cant throw your projectiles until the ult is over
I find building her support is best, starting with a guardians blessing and tier 1 warlocks then build cdr boots then finish warlocks then thebes. After that it depends how the game is going but I like to throw in an urchin and a charons
just by play testing if you go teir 2 chronos on her in mid lvl the 2 first you can get one base get another by the time you reach speed use one at speed from behind the wall get to the midwave and reach lvl 2 fast in fact it's faster than isis's lvl 1 clear you need a decent early jungle clear for this to work like thanatos otherwise lvl the 1 but if you can clear with the 2 you and your jungler can go steal their red right from under their noses.
ok so. i was playing baba yaga today in smite cuz i got the update today. in my opinion, she’s good, but for some reason, when i play her. my ult or my potions stop working, so i have to leave and come back, wasting 3 minutes and being levels behind from everyone else
like her kit can be insanely good or just terrible depending on rng which makes her unpredictable and fun but at the same time not consistent and also frustrating to use like i have dropped kills or lost teamfights simply because i couldn't silence a blinking syl before he knocks everyone up i wish her 1 let you choose which cc you wanted.
That would be interesting, but then it might end up like Cerons 1 were it has 4 different effects, but almost everyone keeps it on summer or spring and forgetting that it comes with a slow and decay.
Why did you skip spending an ability point on lvl 8? Maybe there's some mechanic I'm unaware of, but why wouldn't you just put the point in the 1 on lvl 8? Why wait till lvl 9 to spend the lvl 8 point?
Even to this point in time, January 2021. A lot of people still don’t like Baba Yaga, and sometimes I wonder if I’m the only Smite Player who likes her, I mean she quickly became one of my mains XD. But all I see from Smite players now is pure hatred towards the Yaga.
HiRez blow all other mobas out of the ballpark in comparison to making cool fresh mechanics. Also skins, because smite unlike other mobas you actually SEE your character up close and can savor the looks of the skins. Not a tiny little dot on the screen that's supposed to be you. Might aswell not have a skin.
HER ULT IS WEAK, BUFF THE ULT. The fires aren't fast enough. Even with Gem of Isolation, enemies can escape too quickly. Baba Yaga is also NOT IMMUNE to enemy damage! She cant dive, cant start group fights either....well she can in Arena. Too many times I got ganked trying to use the Cabin Ult, she cant run away because you are not immune while inside the house She's great for arena, she provides the Area Damage and the goofy damage. The ultimate can provide extra Aoe damage. Her ultimate can use Spear of the Magus and Gem of Isolation, will provide a good amount of damage. Use chronos pendant for cooldown
I think she’s great, but she has way too many delayed attacks. WW Y shape can feel terrible when you miss and the enemy doesn’t take damage on initial contact (that’s fine if it came out quickly or aoe lasted longer. Imo of course). The potions are annoying for trying to load in a second potion to toss... the delay for throwing, the delay for loading stored potion, the delay from creating a potion... there are too many delays in one ability and can be chaotic when you need to burst. Her house... the initial start is quick, but the slow firing, slow projectile launching, the slow fire movement... this is only effective in a team fight, but easily juuuuked. Lastly, her 3 is slightly unreliable to me- the slowdown afterwards can make you a sitting duck. I have more fun using 3 for last hit (then I need to run my skinny ass away ASAP). Her kit is fun, but I also feel like you need to be hyper focused/aware of too many factors (potions and their effects, WW shape and effect). She just needs to be tweaked, but I still think she’s a fun and very unique character.
Her ult is definitely kinda shameful. I played solo against another Baba Yaga and they would use the ult on cooldown while I didn't use it at all. It was pretty much always harmful to use the ult and the movement is very janky while in the cabin.
She gives me serious hera vibes. People cried she was trash because they used her wrong, and then complained she was op when people started figuring her out. Besides the shameful bugs on hirez part, this character is pretty balanced and even op in good hands for what I've seen. Except the ult, the ult is just underwhelming XD
Hera on release genuinely was trash and Baba Yaga is no different. The god just feels extremely underwhelming to play. And what does she bring thats special to the table that other mages cant already do?
I prefer an underwhelming god than one that will make playing casuals hell for a month. Also, when they buff baba yaga, hirez will overdo it like they usually do, coming as long with people figuring her out, making a beast like heimdarl or persephone q
She's definitely no Hel, or Aphrodite. They don't have to try to win lane atm. Even lost to a PC Nox who never missed an ability and her Posiedon Jung combo. Things were okay till my Mulan Jung pulled some stupid shit casually walking across lane with low health and fed Nox an easy kill putting her ahead. Then I got double Ult ganked/pushed out my tower immediately after. Never recovered, and Mulan started purposely feeding to troll our team. She may have a decent late game and her passive is really strong and unique, but her early game is considerably weaker than most. Good luck lasting till the late game vs stronger picks with safer escapes. Why pick her over those? I get that Pon Po was afraid of overtunning her and having her turn into another Baron or Merlin fiasco, but she's definitely more than a little bit undertuned, underwhelming and on the unsafe side for not being a glass canon mage that can frag. I'm not a fan of the way her Baba's brew works either. It's Janky as fuck, taking up an item slot, the potion switching, and how you have to fire it for how unrewarding the damage on it is. And Blast Off her main juke/escape is too easy interrupted by anyone who doesn't use a knock up (Which In Mid/Jungle is a lot). Lastly the Ult is more self peel than damage ult, since that cabin might as well be shooting marshmallows at the enemy on a long ass delay. It sucks for securing low health enemies you've whittled down. And if you're surrounded by enough enemies the mitigations won't save you. Her abilities/effects are too Random and RNG imo. They should of stuck to silence and slow. The speed boost and defense buffs just make it harder for her to kill in lane. Not to mention the randomness of your next shape. Two layers of RNG on her first ability and one on her second? What was Pon Pon smoking?
Baba has slows, silences, debuffs, and an ult that knocks enemies away and can zone them away from your team. How the hell can people assume she's a mage? She is CLEARLY a utility support. Every time i see someone ult as baba, they are trying to kill with it... DON'T DO THIS. When you initiate a teamfight, you want the ovular 1 silence effect so that you can place it in the middle of the enemy team. It's not about doing damage, it's about spreading that silence and hitting as many as possible with it. If the enemies hunter isn't fed, store a blue potion for team fights so you can slow people, if they ARE fed, store a potion that slows their attack speed. As for the ult, if you spot someone about to die on your team, use your 3 to dash towards your teammate, then drop your house on the enemy. This will knock them up and away from their target. If you have gem of isolation by that point, your fiery circle thingies will slow and peel for that player who is getting shit on. The items I WOULD take on her (so far every game i've done someone insta locked her lmfao) would be guardians blessing, gem of isolation, shoes of focus (get these 3 asap), Guantlet of Thebes, Warlocks staff, Divine ruin, Jade Emperors Crown. I truly believe that baba is similar to Jormungandr in her engage. Jormungandr closes in on an enemy, knocks em up, and then cc's them. Baba would dash in, drop her house, then cc with the fire circles + gem of isolation. Without Gem first item, you'd rely entirely on her blue potion in order to cc, besides slowing with her 1. In my opinion people are playing baba all wrong because they want to play her as a carry, but i dont think that's her intended role.
The reason why i think people are misidentifying baba yaga's role is because I am a zilean 1 trick in league of legends, and zilean is a utility support, NOT a mage. When a characters kit is highly focused around cc, even if the kit contains damage, its better to play that champion as a support because your goal is to cc, not to kill. You don't provide enough damage because for balance purposes they do not give a champion both the ability to lock someone down and the damage to burst them (with the exception of anubis if he can hit his bandage toss). With mobas, it's either high damage and no cc, or mediocre damage and high cc. The first being a burst mage and the second being a utility mage support. Healing isn't the only way to support your team.
I actually dont even wanna play conquest cuz I know a baba is gonna on my team . I havent seen a single decent baba player in n any of my games and they lose almost every lane so far.
Does starting with 2 not work? i would have thought you would want to get one potion stored away as soon as the game starts and then you have multiple tries to get a potion you really like and save it for wave clear or poke
"Today well talk about Baba Yaga, because this is a Baba Yaga guide". Solid reasoning.
LMAO 😂
whats crazy is, even at lvl 15 with a power build, she has trouble clearing camps and waves lol she's very underwhelming with a lot of bugs. She has soooo much potential though
Her 3 is more of a juke ability than an escape
Aesthetically she's one of my favorite characters and I like her kit I just hope they buff her she feels so weak
But if you build thebes and gaurds blessing you steamroll and are unkillable till late
Still no damage tho even tried full damage and she just seems more poke then actual engage
Angry Gamer She’s pretty terrible most of the time, especially with her ult, however, she’s random and sometimes that can work to your advantage
wayyy too weak holy shit glass cannon is not worth at all because of how little dmg she does you have to build her bruiser tank
Had a Baba in my arena game earlier who had 0/0 for most of the game and I looked away for 2 mins and she ended up with 14/4 😂😂
People saying she’s weak and shit need to get good, I’ve literally been outputting massive amounts of damage, her clear is pretty good and if you build her right she can be quite strong, her 2 and her Ult is just very buggy tho
She's actually pretty close the the worst god in the game. Any C tier and lower god can out clear her and win a 1v1 (assuming the players are equally skilled)

I think she is more of a hybrid focus mage, for starters her 1 has fairly good base dmg, to the point that even if you dont build much power it can hit adc and mages with little no none protections, also gem of iso has the potential of being really good with the ult, since there are 4 proyectiles that can cover a fairly good area.

Us: What items are good on her Duke?
Duke: _All of dem_
Little Baba Yaya pro tip:
When building mages or guardians blessing..
As soon as you're in the game rush out of base, walk up to the enemy's mid tower and back there. Get your blessing and other items and enjoy your free tons of stacks before the game even started.
Also you can try to roll for the bow form defense buff on your 1 as i at least found this the most useful form at level 1 due to its big area to stand in it without standing in the enemy's wave.
Enjoy tryharding xD
Wow! This goddess is really strong! I can't wait to use her to win matches. :D
She looks insanely fun and I could one shot squishies in the ultra late game with her 2 and 1. Early game is definitely where she's not too good but it only goes uphill from there. Very buggy but amazing design and gameplan etc. Loving her rn as a mid.
More guides like this plz great work!
I feel like she is the only Mage that can truly work with warlock staff. I also think she can totally go for a 40% pen build with no flat pen at all, being warlocks, book of thoth, charons coin, soul reaver. It's a really expensive build yes but games are going to 30+ minutes easily nowadays, she can just farm until late game.
What about Staff of Myrdin? I know, you need to use the ultimate and all, but you get to use two [hopefully] different 1 shapes and effects or 3 Baba's brew too. Or even twice the 3. Since when you use the ultimate you are probably going to be close to the enemy or atleast going to, or even more, by the time the ultimate finishes you'll have atleast 1 ability off cooldown if you used all the kit
Even though Charon's Coin is an evolving stack item, Baba's passive doesn't seem to affect it...
I've been doing Book of Thoth / Dead and it has been working super well. She is a monster late game.
Try it again when the cabin is 100% full. should give you I think 3 coin flips or something
Once I started with warlock staff rank 2 and it was terrible, I'm really traumatized
Now that you talking about a mage, I would appreciate a mage build guide. I've been watching SPL and for what I've seen there's a lot of builds and variants, as a main mid I would like to understand where the meta is going to :(
Have you tested new spear of magus or made a video of it? Is it rlly as bad as people say? I saw it built in spl and was wondering about it’s current state on tick dmg.
I really love playing weird supports in these kinds of games and I think she is just weird enough to work wonderfully :)
I would debate if in her current state you want to level her ult at all
It does less consistent damage than all your other abilities
Its harder to hit than all her other abilities (thats saying something for rng skill shapes)
Doesnt allow you to do anything besides run around and throw molotova at the ground
Whenever you try to finish someone with it, you dont
Ive played her and against her and whenever she ults she just becomes a very easy target to kill/life steal from/force to disengage. The only use that I really get out of it is the knock up when my 3 is on cd because even if I try to combo it with someone elses ult it doesnt feel very benefiting
Her base damage seems super low, and her second ability actually seems surprisingly difficult to hit. I would like to see her base damage increase and either an increased area of effect or increased travel speed on her second ability.
I would buff the duration of her first ability effects (3 secs speed, protection) and increase a bit the shield of her ult
I think she’s pretty strong rn, I build warlocks, obsidian, spear of desolation, chronos pendant, gem of isolation, and tahuti
I've definitely popped off on. 12 kill streak steamroll with 41k damage, so I am not sure why people say she is weak. She struggles killing tanks and a few warriors. Although if built right she shits on jungles, mages and ADCs.
I’ve had three matches where my ult wouldn’t work correctly: one where I would shoot two shots out then transform back into baba and shoot the last two shots as baba. The other match was the same problem from pts where you would use the ult and wouldn’t be able to shoot out
Your videos are perfect! Thank you so much!
I'm still getting some bug on her ult where Baba can't fire those Witchfire bolts (or rings, whatever).
In arena i found 6 bugs with baba yaga fun fact if you stack 2 potions you cant use your 2 and your ult dosnt work half the time because you cant throw your projectiles until the ult is over
I find building her support is best, starting with a guardians blessing and tier 1 warlocks then build cdr boots then finish warlocks then thebes. After that it depends how the game is going but I like to throw in an urchin and a charons
Also level the 2 for support
Okay so i just had my first game with her she felt average. I liked her escape and her play was kind of fun went 11-2
just by play testing if you go teir 2 chronos on her in mid lvl the 2 first you can get one base get another by the time you reach speed use one at speed from behind the wall get to the midwave and reach lvl 2 fast in fact it's faster than isis's lvl 1 clear you need a decent early jungle clear for this to work like thanatos otherwise lvl the 1 but if you can clear with the 2 you and your jungler can go steal their red right from under their noses.
Wouldn't having two potions with the 2 at level 1 be better than starting with the 1 at level 1?
I play her solo hybrid and she is not bad but the bugs make it hard to play sometimes my ult doesn’t work
ok so. i was playing baba yaga today in smite cuz i got the update today. in my opinion, she’s good, but for some reason, when i play her. my ult or my potions stop working, so i have to leave and come back, wasting 3 minutes and being levels behind from everyone else
like her kit can be insanely good or just terrible depending on rng which makes her unpredictable and fun but at the same time not consistent and also frustrating to use like i have dropped kills or lost teamfights simply because i couldn't silence a blinking syl before he knocks everyone up i wish her 1 let you choose which cc you wanted.
That would be interesting, but then it might end up like Cerons 1 were it has 4 different effects, but almost everyone keeps it on summer or spring and forgetting that it comes with a slow and decay.
If her ult glitches and stops working you have to leave the gane and join back atleast that fixed it for me
The cabin also take essence from teammates i always get an average of 10 stack in fountain
Does her cabin stack the cloak???
Her ult only works once in arena then stops, it won't let me shoot the fire
Why skip 8? Youd be able to get the point in the ult still, and have you clear maxed out earlier.
Does gem stone stack with her?
So T2 Book o' Thoth isn't a good start on her?
Why did you skip spending an ability point on lvl 8? Maybe there's some mechanic I'm unaware of, but why wouldn't you just put the point in the 1 on lvl 8? Why wait till lvl 9 to spend the lvl 8 point?
Even to this point in time, January 2021. A lot of people still don’t like Baba Yaga, and sometimes I wonder if I’m the only Smite Player who likes her, I mean she quickly became one of my mains XD. But all I see from Smite players now is pure hatred towards the Yaga.
Why would you want something that is stuck in your consumable slot to be activated by your 2?
does she take damage in her ult
I love her so much but omg her 2 is so buggy, I can’t even use it..... it sucks Bc I’ve been looking forward to playing her for a long time 🥺.
Walk out of base to enemy redbuff..port back nd help speedbuff.. Free ~25Stacks mageblessing ;]
HiRez blow all other mobas out of the ballpark in comparison to making cool fresh mechanics.
Also skins, because smite unlike other mobas you actually SEE your character up close and can savor the looks of the skins. Not a tiny little dot on the screen that's supposed to be you. Might aswell not have a skin.
Hey Duke, can you do a video addressing the state of oce servers?
can somekne explain how he moves with those keybinds
she's much more fun in support/tanky build than her damage build
You can jump over walls with your jump
The two is a lot better when on instant cast
HER ULT IS WEAK, BUFF THE ULT.
The fires aren't fast enough. Even with Gem of Isolation, enemies can escape too quickly.
Baba Yaga is also NOT IMMUNE to enemy damage! She cant dive, cant start group fights either....well she can in Arena.
Too many times I got ganked trying to use the Cabin Ult, she cant run away because you are not immune while inside the house
She's great for arena, she provides the Area Damage and the goofy damage.
The ultimate can provide extra Aoe damage.
Her ultimate can use Spear of the Magus and Gem of Isolation, will provide a good amount of damage. Use chronos pendant for cooldown
I think she’s great, but she has way too many delayed attacks. WW Y shape can feel terrible when you miss and the enemy doesn’t take damage on initial contact (that’s fine if it came out quickly or aoe lasted longer. Imo of course). The potions are annoying for trying to load in a second potion to toss... the delay for throwing, the delay for loading stored potion, the delay from creating a potion... there are too many delays in one ability and can be chaotic when you need to burst. Her house... the initial start is quick, but the slow firing, slow projectile launching, the slow fire movement... this is only effective in a team fight, but easily juuuuked. Lastly, her 3 is slightly unreliable to me- the slowdown afterwards can make you a sitting duck. I have more fun using 3 for last hit (then I need to run my skinny ass away ASAP). Her kit is fun, but I also feel like you need to be hyper focused/aware of too many factors (potions and their effects, WW shape and effect). She just needs to be tweaked, but I still think she’s a fun and very unique character.
Tbh I never had any bugs with her but I’m on PS4 If that changes anything
Feels so weak?! I think shes good :0 also not buggy on PlayStation
I dont use stack items by the way!
There a glitch with the 2 where u can't throw the potion until you ult its horrible
Her ult is definitely kinda shameful. I played solo against another Baba Yaga and they would use the ult on cooldown while I didn't use it at all. It was pretty much always harmful to use the ult and the movement is very janky while in the cabin.
She gives me serious hera vibes. People cried she was trash because they used her wrong, and then complained she was op when people started figuring her out. Besides the shameful bugs on hirez part, this character is pretty balanced and even op in good hands for what I've seen. Except the ult, the ult is just underwhelming XD
Hera on release genuinely was trash and Baba Yaga is no different. The god just feels extremely underwhelming to play. And what does she bring thats special to the table that other mages cant already do?
I prefer an underwhelming god than one that will make playing casuals hell for a month. Also, when they buff baba yaga, hirez will overdo it like they usually do, coming as long with people figuring her out, making a beast like heimdarl or persephone q
@@sirseedott4436
Yeah it's gonna be no surprise when she becomes busted as shit in a month or by the end of the year and stay up there for a while.
She may be the only god worth double stacking
Yes! I played her today in joust and finished warlock staff and book of thoth pretty quickly thanks to her passive.
I just wish she did a bit more damage and was less buggy to make the double stacking more fun.
I already do videos with her on twitch buddyguy
If they buff her ult she'll be amazing
I get glitched with her where I can’t jump and use my Ult
She has a limited orange skin. How do you get that?
Buying the season deal thing I think
She's definitely no Hel, or Aphrodite. They don't have to try to win lane atm. Even lost to a PC Nox who never missed an ability and her Posiedon Jung combo.
Things were okay till my Mulan Jung pulled some stupid shit casually walking across lane with low health and fed Nox an easy kill putting her ahead. Then I got double Ult ganked/pushed out my tower immediately after. Never recovered, and Mulan started purposely feeding to troll our team.
She may have a decent late game and her passive is really strong and unique, but her early game is considerably weaker than most. Good luck lasting till the late game vs stronger picks with safer escapes. Why pick her over those?
I get that Pon Po was afraid of overtunning her and having her turn into another Baron or Merlin fiasco, but she's definitely more than a little bit undertuned, underwhelming and on the unsafe side for not being a glass canon mage that can frag. I'm not a fan of the way her Baba's brew works either. It's Janky as fuck, taking up an item slot, the potion switching, and how you have to fire it for how unrewarding the damage on it is. And Blast Off her main juke/escape is too easy interrupted by anyone who doesn't use a knock up (Which In Mid/Jungle is a lot).
Lastly the Ult is more self peel than damage ult, since that cabin might as well be shooting marshmallows at the enemy on a long ass delay. It sucks for securing low health enemies you've whittled down. And if you're surrounded by enough enemies the mitigations won't save you.
Her abilities/effects are too Random and RNG imo. They should of stuck to silence and slow. The speed boost and defense buffs just make it harder for her to kill in lane. Not to mention the randomness of your next shape. Two layers of RNG on her first ability and one on her second? What was Pon Pon smoking?
Not very damaging, even late game full build she didn’t hit that hard. I feel like she’d be a really good support/ solo tho
Baba has slows, silences, debuffs, and an ult that knocks enemies away and can zone them away from your team.
How the hell can people assume she's a mage? She is CLEARLY a utility support.
Every time i see someone ult as baba, they are trying to kill with it... DON'T DO THIS. When you initiate a teamfight, you want the ovular 1 silence effect so that you can place it in the middle of the enemy team. It's not about doing damage, it's about spreading that silence and hitting as many as possible with it. If the enemies hunter isn't fed, store a blue potion for team fights so you can slow people, if they ARE fed, store a potion that slows their attack speed. As for the ult, if you spot someone about to die on your team, use your 3 to dash towards your teammate, then drop your house on the enemy. This will knock them up and away from their target. If you have gem of isolation by that point, your fiery circle thingies will slow and peel for that player who is getting shit on.
The items I WOULD take on her (so far every game i've done someone insta locked her lmfao) would be guardians blessing, gem of isolation, shoes of focus (get these 3 asap), Guantlet of Thebes, Warlocks staff, Divine ruin, Jade Emperors Crown.
I truly believe that baba is similar to Jormungandr in her engage. Jormungandr closes in on an enemy, knocks em up, and then cc's them. Baba would dash in, drop her house, then cc with the fire circles + gem of isolation.
Without Gem first item, you'd rely entirely on her blue potion in order to cc, besides slowing with her 1.
In my opinion people are playing baba all wrong because they want to play her as a carry, but i dont think that's her intended role.
The reason why i think people are misidentifying baba yaga's role is because I am a zilean 1 trick in league of legends, and zilean is a utility support, NOT a mage.
When a characters kit is highly focused around cc, even if the kit contains damage, its better to play that champion as a support because your goal is to cc, not to kill. You don't provide enough damage because for balance purposes they do not give a champion both the ability to lock someone down and the damage to burst them (with the exception of anubis if he can hit his bandage toss).
With mobas, it's either high damage and no cc, or mediocre damage and high cc. The first being a burst mage and the second being a utility mage support. Healing isn't the only way to support your team.
Not a Baba Yaga Opening Channel.
This is a yugitube reference
I could have used this an hour ago making my Arena video on her lol
Cheeky spam
Yeah I played her twice and her ult was bugged each time couldn't use autos why release her. She was bugged in pts and she still has the same problems
Geek_soulless_ I have yet to have any problems with her
Yea I haven't came across any issues yet
Well I'm not interested in her anyway just wanted to try her wasn't impressed there are just much better picks than her. I'll stick with my warriors
I actually dont even wanna play conquest cuz I know a baba is gonna on my team . I havent seen a single decent baba player in n any of my games and they lose almost every lane so far.
I played her 4 times today, did amazing in each game, although I did lose 1 of them. She's definitely a new favorite 😍
Does starting with 2 not work? i would have thought you would want to get one potion stored away as soon as the game starts and then you have multiple tries to get a potion you really like and save it for wave clear or poke
She’s OP
I love her
So what are we gonna name the cabin? All I got is Housey.
KFH ( kentucky fried house)
