Why Smite Players Are Missing Hera: The Queen of the Gods Stares Back
Players who play Smite fondly recall Hera’s character and the distinctive elements she brought to the game. One user even commented, “Hera could be an incredible solo laner with the right tweaks,” indicating a faith in her unrealized potential. Hera’s gameplay combined magical abilities and lore-inspired aspects to add depth and thrill to matches through strategy and excitement. The connection players have with her mirrors a broader yearning for well-balanced characters who excel in battle and resonate with the game’s extensive mythological storyline. Unfortunately, as her statue stands, there is growing recognition that Hera’s current representation in the game does not fully capture her former popularity within the Smite community.
