What is a MOBA?
Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs for short, originated as a sub-genre of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. Because of this, in most MOBA games, the player takes control of a single character from the isometric (top-down) view akin to most RTS games. Typically, in MOBA games, a player takes control of a single character on one of two teams. Those players choose characters that all have their own abilities, or “kits”. To win, the players must use a combination of abilities, teamwork, and strategy to not only best their opponent, but destroy the opponents main structures. A bonus to the genre is that most MOBAs are free games, which is definitely a contributing factor of the their massive success. The genre has many titles, the largest of which being Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) and DoTA 2, League of Legends (LoL), and most recently SMITE!
What is SMITE?
SMITE is one of the more recent free MOBA games to enter the fray. In SMITE you don’t just choose a character, you choose a god. You’ll instantly feel an attachment to characters like Thor and Zeus because even if you don’t know the lore behind them, you’ve at least heard their names before! What makes SMITE so immersive is Hi-Rez Studios’ inclusion of historical lore into the gods’ abilities, kits, and play styles. Thor and Loki aren’t just characters from Marvel comics and movies. They’re also a part of Norse mythology and you can take control of them in SMITE!
What makes SMITE different?
SMITE takes all of the strategy of the top MOBA games and adds another layer of difficulty by putting you into the action! Unlike most MOBA games, SMITE offers players the chance to experience the MOBA genre they know and love from a third-person perspective. This unique perspective allows for an extremely immersive experience unlike any other game in the genre. While this doesn’t sound like such a big change, once you play it you’ll understand! All of these things added together is what has gaming websites everywhere continually rating SMITE as one of the best MOBA games available!

SMITE by Hi-Rez Studios I hate u hi rez

[@kiren3168]

SMITE by Hi-Rez Studios Cupid mastery reskin. plz

[@achilles7116]

+Das Sir really... You like Cupid huh?

[@orangemanatees4853]

Leone Senpai they keep giving out the same announcer packs. This is 3rd Lore Lady pack they've given out.

[@Nucleofission]

Lucas Morais Yes, that portion of what stuff were being given out was made a half week into this event so not everyone knew it was there in the first place.

[@minimal49]

Follow this steps to understand Hi-Rez logic:
1. Go to their website.
2. Look at the rewards they are giving away for the one million subscribers.
3. Realise they've specified that the rewards were only three.
4. Feel stupid for complaining about repeated rewards.
5. Keep feeling stupid.
6. Make a profit out of this, if you are capable of doing so.

[@itsPlebby]

accurate

[@nelsonrateau8617]

Dranolth how does one make a profit, I've been doing all the other steps for the past 18 years

[@Kolazola]

it didn't specify the rewards yesterday. that's a new edit. It didn't say what rewards they were giving out before

[@Kolazola]

it didn't specify the rewards yesterday. that's a new edit. It didn't say what rewards they were giving out before

[@minimal49]

Lil Eggo The rewards have been there since they announced the event, my friend.

[@ainrene4028]

Mario Joke confirms future bowser skin? I sincerely hope so loool

[@MrStrat561]

Ain Rene I'd be worried about copywrite but that being said they got away with a dk skin

[@josecayetano16]

Thomas Muldoon what dk skin? I haven't seen a lot of the skins

[@rudyhero1995]

Jose Cayetano drums out rajin

[@kurty7614]

I don't see how it would be copyrighted eitherway, it's just a gorilla with drums. Doesn't necessary have to be DK. If you google DK and smite drums out, IMO you can barely see a difference there.

[@notmyles712]

Ain Rene ikr I was thinking either that or a teenage mutant ninja turtle skin

[@davidazriav9090]

[@ADukesJustice]

Gotta love it when people complain about free stuff..

[@TonyGaming1984]

[@willygoat6409]

[@dwightster1216]

The Flying DutchMan not when I bought it

[@dwightster1216]

ZeroJinKui they're celebrating 1mill. it should be something we all could enjoy. like gems.

[@tudorciubotaru3497]

Jaconian yeah...win 1 million games for 20 gems...

[@slycullen7596]

I wonder if Hi Rez is just taking the piss now? The skins are pretty dank and the new god is pretty funny but something tells me you are all slowly going insane

[@tudorciubotaru3497]

Sly Cullen What do you mean?

[@slycullen7596]

Tudor Ciubotaru They added a turtle, a unicorn riding wizzard, captain jack sparrow and a nevercake voice pack in the span of a few weeks

[@tudorciubotaru3497]

could have been worse.

[@slycullen7596]

[@h0m3st4r]

Oh, great. Now, the Kappa Mikey theme song is playing in my head.

[@cinemasean2098]

[@TheBlackdeath001]

[@_Kurumi_Tokisaki_]

It really sucks that Hi-rez released 3 Announcer Packs I already had prior to the event starting. There was nothing for me to claim from this event.......

[@notmyles712]

You know what's sad smite has such an updated board in the menu he told me he never saw a game that has things from the Internet well the smite was on console

[@AschaVovina]

King Koopa? Bowser skin confirmed?

[@Xelann]

[@Joon2903]

DizzyFox They gave out 3 AP's in total for everyone so we really shouldn't complain. The mezmoreyez AP is amazing!

[@DizzyFoxHD]
