Thor’s design in Smite is a topic sparking debate among gamers on Reddit. Some players are torn between retaining the classic look or embracing a contemporary redesign.

Summary

  • Players are divided on whether Thor’s design should remain classic or receive a modern overhaul.
  • Suggestions include adjusting proportions, adding Norse elements, and enhancing realism in his appearance.
  • Some players prefer a more lore-friendly design, akin to God of War: Ragnarok.

Positive Reactions to Classic Design

“I like how he looks, He doesn’t have any issues for me. If they do remodel him, it’ll probably be something small like how they did for Neith, just minor changes to the pattern and plating of the armor, maybe make his hair slightly different.”

“I think his Mjölnir design is good and genuinely helps separate Smite’s Thor from all the other Thors in media today.”

“The hammer & model are probably not going anywhere, but a good compromise would be a more lore-friendly design as a skin, maybe as an ascension skin.”

Desire for Modern Redesign

“It’s a classic but that hammer looks like a toy, it’s over designed and they should give him a simpler hammer like Thor from Marvel or Thor from God of War.”

“They could do better. Just keep him a redhead but update the rest of his model to modern Smite quality. His current model is one of the oldest in the game.”

“I would prefer if they remodel him for his lore look something like in GoW Ragnarok.”

Varied Suggestions for Improvement

“I would like a less ‘superhero in metal armor’ vibes tbh. Mainly I would like the cape gone, the huge shoulder pads to be smaller, and make him a red hair.”

“Give him a better beard and I’ll be happy.”

“Making him look moderately proportionate would be nice.”

“I would say keep it similar, but tweak it so the design matches the new design ethos they have. Reduce the cartoonish looks a bit, maybe even give him a Norse helmet.”

Thor’s design in Smite is a hotly contested topic among fans, with some advocating for a modern redesign to align with current standards, while others cherish the classic appearance that has become iconic in the game’s history.
