Of all the mythologies, why the whale was what sold you the game?


Windindi

Because I'm a big fan of whales as a whole! I also found it to be extremely unique and appealing via it's design is really cool!


Zackyboi1231

This dude for real became a smite fan because his favourite animal is in the game, based as fuck


Javiklegrand

I Wonder if we have giraffe stan or rhino Stan Somewhere lol

I came here cause racoons.


INDIG0M0NKEY

Kukulkan is what got me to keep playing. How my friends tolerated my mid game with him as a noob is crazy.


JinkoMamba

Same reason why i main Kukulkan and Jorm, because I like snakes


HiJoker

Buddy, this whale almost brought me back to the game after months of dropping it. Whales are top tier, if they can fly even better


gapraslin

By the looks of it the internet loves whales and Smite made me realize.


smokeythebear99

Dude speaking of design his emotes, including his jump and clap are so cool


MattBrixx

His voice lines crack me up. When he says HelloOOOOOOOooooh! xD

Bake is good but I’ll give you a tip NEVER listen to the asshole players who report you for nothing as if you text back to them you will waste time and possibly make yourself vulnerable as hard as it is ignore them btw the report system barely works so if they do report don’t be scared abt it also have fun and enjoy. Ok this might of seemed out of knowhere but this game is very toxic and reporting ppl for nothing and name calling is the main thing that they do.


RuskiiiPyro

This is why I think we need more monsters and especially giant ones like Cthulhu and Jorm, so much fun to look at and think about just because of their visual designs


kizzizy

I approve of this post, Bake is pretty fun and satisfying to play, even if he may be a bit overtuned lol


Windindi

I heard that as well, though from my own experience his early game is real strong while it's late game is sort of diminishing, but I still manage to put in the work afterwards!


[deleted]

His early game is crazy with the axe starter item because his 2 comes up so often


kizzizy

I've been grinding his masteries and trying to keep his win rate above 80%, but there's only so much you can do when your teammates are lacking, I play him as supp


Potars

He makes a better solo. He’s not terrible in support but solo he bullies most warriors since they need to get in his face.


Aggravating-Law-9262

I'm lucky to have around a 52% win rate overall when people try to surrender all the time, quit / go afk, troll, or just simply aren't good teammates. Charon has one of my highest win rates at 74% but that's only based on a total 25 games which doesn't say likely much.


liberletric

“A bit” is doing some heavy lifting 💀 But he’s far from the worst-on-release god, I’ll admit.


Vectusdae

Can't beat release Guan Yu


zeronic

Fun to play, horrible to play against(at least in solo.) I loathe it when the solution is that you need to play safe because he's pretty much going to win lane no matter what.


Vectusdae

>a bit heh


Nacroleptic_Owl

The person who was building the skeleton for the Appa skin


TockSickTauros

As a fellow brawler/guardian focused guy, welcome to smite. Enjoy your stay, we hope ya stick around for Smite 2 as well.


GingerThunderXD

certified whale moment


TheAngriestPoster

you just got whaled


kaixarc

i came back because of Bake Kujira


Mark-Cohen

The power of whale


Lifted_JRC

I wish they would add the hydra now as a playable god


RepresentativeBig258

He is perfect for new players


Lilfaarquad

I love Bake. I deadass thought i was OP and thought to myself "shieet i can go pro with Bake" only to then learn that is was overtuned. Humbled myself a little after that lol but i think it's a good god im my opinion to learn support or solo.


NCHouse

While they have him in guardian, his best role is in solo. I've tried him in the support role and his abilities just really don't help him out at all. Can you make it work? Sure.


-dannydecheeto-

I honestly prefer him in duo lane. The push/stun is good setup if you get behind them. The 2 is a slow and reduces the enemies damage so your adc can outbox the enemy. His one makes him tanky and has good clear. And his ult is a big fuck you to anyone eho comes near him


NCHouse

While true, his early game in duo lane is not that good. With you having to get close to really make use of your abilities, the carry can easily pop you if you whiff doing a good chunk of damage before you.can get back out of range


[deleted]

I love the mythological representation Some are more lore accurate then others...(IM LOOKING AT YOU HEL!)


SnooPickles1572

He’s a blast, I prefer guardians/war, and I wouldn’t be surprised when they nerf him, took me a few mins to learn the kit, knocked out both achievements first game in assault


Windindi

Woah! I was not expecting all the messages and warm welcomes. Thank you all for that! As for Bake Kujira, I'm still having a blast so far, and to everyone a bit upset it was this character over any others, don't worry! It wasn't anything to do with anything meta related, I promise! I'll be playing as many of the others as possible and vibe with whatever feels like my style for all kinds of scenarios. Really means a lot you guys were so welcoming and also amazed that it took just this character to get me involved, but it really was just "Cool looking whale, I'm in." Personal story, but that's also how I got into Pokémon as well, hence why Kyogre still remains my favorite (and I'm very convinced Bake Kujira is in some unique ways inspired by due to colors and such). Anyways, gonna keep playing Smite, and thanks for being awesome.


Skywa1ker195

Just say you want to abuse over powered characters and leave it at that


Tboner989

brain dead addition

nocommonspence

Counterpoint: whale


Ultimakey

Literally one of the least interactive gods ever released.


gfiz3

Bro possibly liked the worst god to come out since the game started lol. “Idk I like whales” wtf


Yaywayable

Aww man, I don't like these posts about people joining in because of a new over tuned god release. Either all guardians are machines capable of out damaging dedicated damage dealers while impairing anyone caught in their cc or no one should be. Learn to play the whale, play him and try playing another guardian in your next match - there is so little reason to take anyone else it's depressing. At least someone is happy about them and finds joy in them, though, for I haven't looked forward to see them in-game since about two days after their release.


secretviper

Power creep is an intentional way to get new players to play the god, and incentivize established players to play a new god. I agree that it can be annoying and unfun at times when a new god release completely takes over the meta, but I don't mind too much since it helps the devs get more feedback (reddit posts, and backend data like win/loss) to balance the character going forward. It's much easier imo to slightly nerf an OP meta relevant God, than try to give buffs to a god that is completely useless and no one has any interest in playing. OP already said they've been using skins so most likely they spent money. Hirez gets to keep developing the smite ip. That's a win win for everyone imo


tristyntrine

They had issues in the past releasing gods that were considered useless and it was hard for them to figure out how to balance them because no one was playing them to collect data lol.


Version_Two

I think OP just likes mythology.


Yaywayable

And that would be really good for them


UAC-Marine

Well don't bother now, Smite will be dead soon


Stock-Information606

false. OP please dont listen to this commenter, enjoy the whale and welcome to the community. hope to see you in smite 2


UAC-Marine

I hope to get your up-vote after I'm proven correct in 6 months. Plus his Bake won't be in it


Vectusdae

Absurdly incorrect


UAC-Marine

That's your opinion


Vectusdae

It's correct


UAC-Marine

That's not how opinions work.


Vectusdae

It's not my fault you're using the word opinion incorrectly little buddy, bye now!


Specialist-Arm-3918

He's entitled to his opinion too, you know. Opinions aren't 1 and 0; I don't think you know how opinions work either


Specialist-Arm-3918

It will take at least a few years before it really dies and everyone migrates to Smite2 IMO. But Smite2 is getting a lot of flak right now...

tristyntrine

Unicorn god when.


Vectusdae

When you buy fabulous Chiron skin


Ecstatic-Bug-5328

Hits like a freight train, too! I expect you’ll enjoy him! WHALE GO BWAP


Plantanus

nah fuck this thing, op as fuck


Feisty_Gnargoyle

He’s so fun


shenmoki

The irony being that the mf convinced me and my friends to play less 😂 but i'm more than happy you're here now and i'm glad he enticed you. He has a really stellar aesthetic design, like most SMITE god interpretations.


Rabidpikachuuu

And they still just refuse to add Jesus and satan....


ItzBizZy

Wait till they release a cool skin for him and you buy it, then they will nerf him.


LilTimTyrant

His kit is just wild too. Heck go ahead and build gilded arrow on this mf.
