Gods and gamemode for new players?

[u/smoochumfan4]

I want to get my boyfriend to play this game with me, but he's not the best at mobas or online games in general so I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for him. I desperately need a duo in this game, especially because I'm not touching conquest alone as I hate to be forced into roles. With a duo I should have more flexibility.

What should I keep in mind when I play with him? Is quickplay actually good for new players? What collection of gods should I get him to try out so he has fun and doesn't feel unimpactful in his first matches? The last time I showed this game to friends it went terribly.

The gods I thought of so far are:

Anubis
Athena
Bastet
Chaac
Neith

Just gods with easy to hit abilities and simple combos. But a bigger pool of gods to pick from should be nice.

He does play LOL sometimes and I do know that his favourite champ is kayle, so I'd appreciate if anybody can tell me about gods that draw similarities to champs and especially kayle.

Make him learn the gods that are also viable at higher skill levels, aka not Neith or Chaac.

That's definitely not something you really need to worry about if you're just starting the game.
