In the sphere of ‘Smite’, a competitive online game of gods, there appears to be a spirited discussion. At the heart of it is the enigmatic goddess Nu Wa and the puzzlement over her confirmed position in ‘Smite 2’.

Summary

  • A ‘Smite’ loyalist expresses bewilderment on Nu Wa being included in ‘Smite 2’
  • Some players share their experiences of Nu Wa being underutilized and outmatched in the game
  • Others argue for her popularity and usage, indicating that perspectives differ based on gaming experiences and tier of play
  • The post leads to a larger discussion about game balance, character success, and future game developments

Player Opinions on Nu Wa

Soon after the initial post, liberletric quips, questioning the original poster’s experience saying, “We can’t be playing the same game”, indicating apparent differing realities.

Player MckPuma echoes a simpler sentiment with, “Get gud she’s fine”. It’s a classic gaming jab implying that perhaps strategic shortcomings influence the viewpoint of certain gamers.

The Nu Wa Debate Continues

Ofumei posits an intriguing theory, suggesting Nu Wa may well have been chosen for a full ‘makeover’ in the new version of the game, potentially overhauling the character to be more competitive.

We then have TheWorstDMYouKnow sarcastically quipping “Local gamer dislikes game character, more news at 11”, underlining that individual player preferences often form the basis of such debates.

Character Popularity in Smite

Despite the criticism, Nu Wa isn’t without her admirers. RobinBoyy gets cheeky and attributes Nu Wa’s popularity to her lack of clothing!

Meanwhile, fellow enthusiast Bfrialgii provides a balanced view, noting his observations about Nu Wa’s moderately popular status, especially among higher ranked players, and attributing it to her unique and rewarding gameplay when executed well.

While this debate may continue unabated, one thing is crystal clear: Smite has created a community passionate about its characters. So much so that the pending release of ‘Smite 2’ is stirring up hot debates around potential gods, highlighting the love and dedication of its gaming population. Nu Wa may indeed prove to be the metaphorical ‘needle in a haystack’ for some, but for others, she is genuinely valued. In any case, these discussions amplify the anticipation for ‘Smite 2’. All we can do now is wait for the gods themselves – or the creators – to decide. Or as ‘MckPuma’ would say: Let’s ‘get gud’ at waiting until then!
