the people who play this game are so brain dead retarded you would think they let their dog take control of the computer they're so fucking trash no matter what you do don't play this game with randoms. The graphics are shit and dated, the gameplay is awful and needs a rework. The old character models are disgustingly ugly and the announcers are extremely annoying. The only reason I could see people enjoying this game is if they suck at league/dota and they like mythology

met my former girlfriend on here (back when i was cis)
finally build up the courage after 2 and a half years to come out to her about who i really am (while playing hades my ablt fav). long story short she broke up with me while calling me slurs and leaked our esex convo (im the bottom) to the whole lobby.
needless to say i wont be playing this one anytime soon.

Played this game since the early beta, and clocked in about 2000 hours of playtime afterwards.
I discovered that MOBAs aren't good for you. When you lose, you feel miserable, but when you win, you don't even feel happy. It's a constant loop of being flamed by teammates, fighting unfun characters feeling hopeless when your team is losing but you are doing fine.
Despite this, I did have a fun time early on. Played it a ton with friends and this game does have fun characters to play. Smite feels very satisfying to play, and I'd be interested in seeing this game's engine and mechanics applied to something else, like a MMO.
The developers of this game suck. Characters in this game are gods from mytholgy, like Zeus, Thor, Ares, Loki, Anubis, etc. Yet they take creative liberty to alter their lore to fit the Smite theme, which has led them to receive negative feedback.
Same goes for skins: some of the gods are depicted like whores, because that makes players actually buy the game, while the god has nothing to do with being about sex at all.
They're also very quick to hop on trends. Hearthstone got popular? Make a smite-themed hearthstone clone. Overwatch got popular? Make Paladins and pretend it was in development for years (it wasn't.).
The devs feel very scummy.

Out of all the League of Legends clones, SMITE has been one of the only ones to actually do anything approaching well. Part of that is down to having some more unique and active battle mechanics and modes. Part of this is down to actually having a proper option to actually get all of the gods available for a reasonable pricepoint. Its pretty fun.
Though its F2P nature does poke through too much at times. The sheer amount of expensive outfits, passes and special events that exist solely to make you spend stupid amounts of money on gems. It feels almost insulting at times.

This was my MOBA of choice for the longest time. I've always enjoyed mythology, so getting to play as some of the most well-known figures in historic folklore drew me in! As with any online multiplayer game, the experience can be mixed. You can have great games one day with solid teammates, and then a bunch of horrible games with people who want to troll or throw because something didn't go their way.
Smite offers a few different options depending on how sweaty you want to get: Arena is good for beginners and allows you to get familiar with characters' abilities without too much strategy, Joust is a step up that includes one lane and a small jungle to get you comfortable with the typical MOBA experience, and then there's Conquest, the full on, 5v5 mode with three lanes, a massive jungle, and the big push towards the opposing base.
Perhaps the major thing that sets this apart from other games in the genre is that you directly control and aim with your character in 3rd-person view, as opposed to the usual isometric perspective in games like Defense of the Ancients or League of Legends.
I haven't played this in years now, so the meta has most certainly passed me by at this point, but it's a fun game with a lot of unique characters and abilities. But, you may want to wait for the release of Smite 2 to try it out, which is just around the corner!

This game can be EXTREMELY fun or EXTREMELY unfair depending on your team, but this is common in mobas in general.
The best roster of characters in any mobas imo, the design team is just the goat, and dont even get me started with the crossovers, which are mostly fine, but you have some gems like the new runescape.
My REAL problem with this game is that the coding in this is one of the worst i've ever seen in my entire life, ITS SO BAD. Its really obvious after even the first game that this game is SO outdated is funny, they really need to step-up in their game or this game will keep living in a tube like the last 3 years or so.
Now what REALLY makes me angry with this shitty game is the deserter system. If you quit during a game you get a deserter status which makes you unable to play during a growing period of time (30 min - 2 hours - 5 hours - 12 hours - 24 hours - 5 days), that i mean, its kinda a lot but if you quit willingly during a game you kinda saw it coming. BUT, if you crash or quit during god selection or dont accept a game THIS RULE STILL APLLIES, and THIS IS INSANE. Being unable to play this shitty game for 12 hours because you didnt get to pick a god you wanted or the game crashed (it happens a shit ton of times) is nuts and they really need to do better, this is so fucking bad, so so so so so sosoososososososo fucking bad its insane im going crazy LET ME PLAY THIS SHIT
