RATATOSKR IS HERE!!!!!
Today, while waiting for ARK to become available on Steam, a few of us gamers got together for a game of SMITE and took on the challenge of playing the new god - Ratatoskr. My PR Manager took a moment during game play to ask us about the new God and here's what people said.
DidacticGamer - Needs NERF. I like it. The smaller size is great, the speed is great. BEST assassin right now. It's new and kind of OP!
SyneLau - He's ADORABLE! I want to cuddle him! I've only played him once. Pretty powerful. I don't agree he's the best assassin, but he's pretty powerful. He is strong and very maneuverable.
Vineyardvines - He needs a BIG NERF on his acorns!
Gillionaire - He's just like every new god in the game! Over Powered!
Joshua1bray - (Was viewing the game on DidacticGamer Twitch Stream) "Ummmmm...he's hot! No homo!" Yes folks, that was a direct quote!
LuxDream - (A fellow gamer on Smite but hasn't had a chance to play Ratatoskr yet) "I think it's an interesting god to have, compared to the others. For sure something new for Smite and of course Ratatoskr looks freaking fluffy and so cute!!"
Djvo - (Another Smite player whose had a chance to play this God) "A mobile caster-type assissin, relying more on ability usage than on auto-attacks, compared to a general assassin classification."
When asked if the players feel that the acorn is a good enough replacement for an item+passive, since it does represent both, the consensus was that it definitely was! It's versatile and gives you 5 physical power. For the price it's quite effective!
A Little History On Ratatoskr:
For those of you out there, like me, who enjoys having background information and knows a little education goes a long way, I've researched information on Ratatoskr and found out quite a bit!
In Norse mythology, Ratatoskr (Old Norse, generally considered to mean "drill tooth" or "bore-tooth") is a squirrel who runs up and down the World Tree Yggdrasil to carry messages between the unnamed eagle, perched atop Yggdrasil, and the wyrm Níðhöggr, who dwells beneath one of the three roots of the tree. Ratatoskr is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the squirrel.
The name Ratatoskr contains two elements: rata- and -toskr. The element toskr is generally held to mean "tusk". Guðbrandur Vigfússon theorized that the rati- element means "the traveler". He says that the name of legendary drill Rati may feature the same term. According to Vigfusson, Ratatoskr means "tusk the traveler" or "the climber tusk."
During game play I've taken a few screen shots so you can see Ratatoskr in action.
This last screen shot is the Ult for Ratatoskr and shows the World Tree Yggdrasil.
