But she's not first pick first ban for a reason. In 3 seconds it puts out 1290 base + 350% scaling. Want an ulti that does absolutely insane damage? Anubis' Death Gaze. Hell, the 4 shots from Freya's ulti do more damage than either. On a single hit it has the exact same damage as Ao Kuang's ulti, while being even MORE telegraphed, rooting Scylla during the attack, and having a much scaller AoE. I'm a monster only skyrockets in the damage department if you get multiple resets. And it better, since that's the majority of Scylla's damage. Against most assassins, hunters and even mages it's almost irrelevant since they have very little in the way of protections as is (and most of is will already be stripped by pen boots anyways). 'Oh, but Crush at max level removes 25% magical protection!' Which is super relevant. There are a lot of abilities in this game that hit harder than Crush. ONE touch of Ao Kuang's tornado, without refreshing the dot, will run you 300 + 90% scaling lol. Hell, her crush, despite hitting hard, isn't even among the highest damage abilities in the game! Her crush is 290 + 80%. The weakest sit at 250+ base and 50% scaling, and that's usually on characters with a lot of scalings (like Zhong Kui, Agni.) Scylla has 2 hits and an ulti. An 'average' hit for a mage in this game is around 300 base damage and 70% scaling. It's actually weaker than, for example, Janus' portal. Oh it hurts, of course, but so does any damage by mages in this game. That by itself is 'so far so standard', the funny part is the ridiculous exaggerations people go to with complete disregard for facts and evidence. Every once in a while someone gets destroyed by a character and comes here to bitch.

Smite scylla
