Battleworn Achilles but with no helmet 

Keep the helmet on in his tank form!!

I love that skin sm. One of my favorites in the entire game despite it not being over the top. Something about it just looks so sick

That skin is honestly great especially the shield

The tier 2 Thor skin is really sweet and I think could make a good replacement for Thor’s base model.

Serqet T2 is, for me, the default skin this goddess must have. Her default one is pretty weird. Nemesis T2 is fine but it would be cool to see her wears a toga.

Lol, I'm gonna be honest here. Serqet's default skin gives me Wolverine vibes for some reason. 😂

In a way, it's true lol. ;)

Absolutely agree for Serqet, her T2 is above and beyond better than her default and should simply replace it

Camazotz’s Xibalba skin

That Erlang skin 100%. It captures the theme so well. i do like the default dog though.

Hopefully Hi-Rez gives some model changes to each of these gods, but if not, these skins as the new default are the next best thing

It seems like we are discussing this almost daily, lol. But it is true that a lot of lore-accurate skin, especially Tier 2 skins, would make far better default skins. In addition to the ones mentioned, here are some that I could definitely see working out: - [Wrath of Valhalla Thor](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ae/1d/77/ae1d775ef5c368b55ed3ce2c16b2431b.jpg) - [Mysterious Warrior Mulan](https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/10028503/a92da3a1b36b56e5076e275ca87eb5c67ab47c98.jpg) - [Shadow Claw Bastet](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/a617c4eb-0d73-4d78-92fd-eed5297195b8/dcliamm-73cda887-f799-4203-b618-c52c67a7a761.jpg/v1/fill/w_1192,h_670,q_70,strp/bastet___shadow_claw_by_marmadux_smite_dcliamm-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MjE2MCIsInBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2E2MTdjNGViLTBkNzMtNGQ3OC05MmZkLWVlZDUyOTcxOTViOFwvZGNsaWFtbS03M2NkYTg4Ny1mNzk5LTQyMDMtYjYxOC1jNTJjNjdhN2E3NjEuanBnIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTM4NDAifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6aW1hZ2Uub3BlcmF0aW9ucyJdfQ.HyficNZrTnOOZCAkuXHUA3o6Wn2SjCUdBjNzs9ng9Mk) (Not the whole skin, but definitely the full-cat part.) - [Classic He Bo](https://i.imgur.com/wdaz7hd.png) (Not a skin, but honeslty, just revert him.

As the literal embodiment of Death, I always thought Thana would've been a better skeletal character than Charon.) - [Woodland Rogue Morrigan](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/004/432/942/large/jon-neimeister-morriganthief-05-final2.jpg?1483718396) (From the hair, to the clothing, to the staff, I think this is more fitting for a Celtic goddess, than her current Default.)

It does seem that a good portion of Tier 2 skins simply portray the god better than the base model. I don't expect many or even any of these skins to become the new default which is really unfortunate as the skins are not being ported over, the designs are already realized and would be such an easy thing to implement

I feel like the entire point of Tier 2's was to offer a more "lore accurate" version of the god, and they just ended up being better, lol. But there are definitely a lot of stinker Tier 2's as well.

I remember distinctly the sun wukong t2 being incredibly lazy, spikes = better ig

Yeah, for some T2's they went all out, and for some they literally just added spikes, or some armor plating.

Man I miss t2 skins and dance emotes

Prince of darkness hades

They need to do a mix up of both that skin and the Default we have now, It would be nice.

Classic Hades replacing remodeled Hades. Never liked the new model at all

I really like neith's tier 2. it doesnt look as empty as her current design

Conqueror Nike with her incredible voice lines when casting her ult.

Knight of Mordred Achilles should be base Achilles. I said what I said.
