I agree with the sentiment, but stats is pretty broken, so I wouldn't try to use that one as evidence.

What I loved to read was that the head designer wanted every demigod to feel overpowered, which is awesome

you are right, the only one i cant comment on erebus since i have not fought against one enough, but its true. Ill to add one more

Sedna's Heal is not OP

@Eternal

With the rooks tower statement you are making an argument of other rook build being underpower, dosent really mean Towers are over power, also if you see Ub and Erebus a lot it might be that they are easy to play and still strong without a lot of practice so they become a favorite and not nessceraly because they are OP, but i agree that if you see these patterns you have to look into the situation to determine the source.

By the way, the stats mean nothing, as someone has already posted, they are not exactly accurate. However, in every pantheon game (I usually play as light) my teammates are usually Regulus or Rook, and the Darkness side are almost exlusively Erebus and Unclean Beast. And go figure, these are the DGs that are claimed to be overpowered. Which in fact, they kinda are, just at varying degrees.

Aw! Not my queen! I need to improve her winning stats.

I don't think the game is THAT unbalanced.

Some demigods are just far more flexible (strategy/tactic viability) than others.

For example: Erebus.

Erebus isn't so grossly overpowered that he can kill you in 1 shot like CS:S with AWP in a slow moving game. He just so happen to have an answer to almost every situation, and hence a good player would be hard to deal with as he is not limited by his character.

Rook on the other hand is obviously lacking in the speed department, which has alot of limitation as this game has so much movements; however, a fast rook or a stun team rook is a scary rook, when a player overcome his weakness.

Now it is just whether the risk is worth for the reward and vice versa.

Ive found myself in a definite overpowered state in a match before. Usually its because of a level difference. If you can level just as fast, you usually will find your enemies equals as long as you play smart. It is often difficult to determine how strong or weak your opponent is as you cant see their mana pools or how they are itemized.

Ive done it as Oak. Ive definitely witnessed just about every DG doing it at some point, even QoT (he was pretty pro).

Then don't walk on his mines! When playing against a mine-build regulus I often follow creep paths now. Regulus is not OP at all.

UB spit is pretty devestating. What's OP is his damage though, thats what SD said in some interview. Expect him to get a little nerf in the damage department some time.

Erebus is not OP at all, paper thin, gets mauled at range. Dont go 1 v 1 mele with him unless you know how to take him.

QoT is UP on her own but as part of a good team is just awsome and a game winner.

And for further notice, last night tested 1v1 vs sedna with EVERY other DG, and i played as well as you can, impossible to kill her. If you know how, msg me and show me.

Every Demigod in essence has a counter for each particular build. Some of them require 2 Demigods to work together, but then again, when are you 1v1 in Demigod? Like TheBigOne stated, its a team oriented multiplayer game. The key to overpowering the enemy team is the synergy that you and your teammates can work out and execute.

I too have been slowed down via Regulus to a point that my Lord Erebus wasnt even moving. And I went into mist form, attempting to save myself, but low and behold, health wont Regen in mist, and the good Regulus player just dropped another 3 mines in the center of my mist cloud. However, is that OP? Not at all, their are items that can be purchased that dont allow speed to drop lower then 25%

For every claim of OP their are direct or indirect counters that just need to be utilized. Mass Charm takes (in terms of other stuns) forever to cast. If you see Lord Erebus charging his stun, counter stun him, have high enough armor to negate his auto-attack, and then his bite wont be much of a problem. Carry around a potion or two. You need to build to the specs of the enemy team, not to "X" Build. Or yes, you will get face planted.

How many times must we ALL tell EVERYONE who asks this. The multiplayer system has issues, we know, WE ALL KNOW. They are going to be fixed... *sigh*

Rook's towers OP? No but they're incrediably annoying to deal with and it's an incrediably cheesey tactic.

You don't have to kill her to beat her.  Just forcing her into retreat (easy enough to do) can do the job.
