This weird bug that has been around since the existance of Smite, where Ares his Shackles curves in the awkard way not going even close to where your aiming when sidestepping left right and diagonal. After years of playing this game i play around it but it is the most frustrating thing if it misses even tho you are aiming RIGHT AT THE TARGET WHILST IN THEIR FACE. Also... ranked system sucks :)
External link →Ares is one of my most played gods and I do not understand what this post is saying. Firing Ares chains feels great to me. I dont think this is a bug? but more of an intended effect of this unique ability?
My guess is that changing this might have a big negative effect on muscle memory of Ares players, so im not too keen on this idea unless we can find a more specific break-case.
Firing Ares chains feels great to me.
Chains aren't terrible, but I sure wouldn't call them "great". Here's an example from a Mast video: https://youtu.be/OvsxhHGFMzw?t=892

From here, it looks like the chain should more or less go until it reaches the brick right outside the towerline.Where the ability actually ended: https://i.imgur.com/3OsKasz.png
Here we can see the chain actually ended up further right than intended.I'm not gonna pretend I knows the ins and outs of any of this stuff but maybe a quick fix could be simply making the ability targeter disappear a little earlier? To me, if the ability targeter is still visible, then ability should still be able to be aimed.
hmm now this actually looks like a bug - ive not experienced it though so it might be some specific bugged state ares can get into or perhaps related to connectivity
