First off, Zeus not only specializes in providing boosts for magic, but his magic is by far superior to Ares. On top of that, they all have amazing crowd control, do massive damage, and can be used twice. The vortex magic alone is broken because it draws you in and can be combed into. The worst part is that he can get magic from his items and relics, so basically he is never at a loss. The telephoto item is ridiculously broken as well. Ppl literally spam the magic, and if you are even remotely close, then prepare to have at least 1/4th of your life drained if you are Ares. Zeus sword and hammer are vastly superior to Ares in every way possible. The sword L2 triangle move launches opponents from a safe range, releases 3 shots, and can be chained after. The hammer is amazing at repelling and keeping enemies away, as well as stunning. I was just in a match where the opposing team was spamming his magic nonstop, while abusing Athena's sword combo.
The Athena blade L1 square combo is broken as well for the simple fact that it can heal, knocks you off your feet, has amazing range, recharges extremely fast, and can be comboed after very easily. The strategy devolves into L1 triangle, use Zeus' impenetrable wall, then using the L1 square combo for an easy kill. Please look into this Santa Monica.

I don't think Zeus is OP, the thing is that Ares is underpowered, the magics are practicaly useless, very easy to dodge, and i think the damage reduce they apply as part of patch 1.08 was really unnecessary. Before the patch my Zeus character had a lot less damage than my ares character and now ther is only 100 pints of difference, and lets be honest thats not what Ares is about, Ares is all about to go in the middle of a fight and do the most damage when it comes to close combat with your main weapon.
Also the magics of Ares don't make a **bleep** of damage, Ares inferno is only useful to get out of difficult situations when you're getting combo. The DG magic it's very easy to evade, and does not do that amount of damage, even though you actually hit the enemy with your fists, wich i think is how the first GOD OF WAR will go in a fight.
Ares need a lot of fix...
But lets not forget that there are 2 other Gods to use, these two Gods probably will make thing more far for Ares players, we'll have to see...

I disagree, the weapon wich i got the most kills is Ares sword, like i say it depends on the players' skills and type of play.

compared to Zeus' sword, it is inferior. Ares' L1 triangle is easily avoidable, while Zeus' L1 triangle easily hits from a safe range.

Exactly. You understand exactly. Ares needs a boost to do more damage as he should since Zesus' gear provides a lot of defense.
LOL, I as in a match, where this one dude kept using Athena's blade combo over and over. He was not wearing any scorpian armor, yet every 5 secs he kept using it. On top of that, it heals. Leave it to the Goddess of wisdom and justice to design a weapon that is practical and kicks butt.

That's what im saying they shouldn't have decrease the amount of damage do by Ares with patch 1.08. I use to have like 500 attack damage, but now i have 300...

Yea you are right, Zeus sword attack that pops you into the air hits you from far away as hell, you think you are obviously safe when you cant even see the other character on the screen but no... you randonly go flying 20 feet in the air, also some guy kept running away doing it and then running away spamming, and it was so weird its almost as if he was playing on the same tv because he ran just far enough to not be on the screen each time.
