    Pretty standard MOBA with over the shoulder controls rather than top-down. Not being a fan of MOBAs, I did not enjoy it, but can understand the appeal for those who like this sort of thing.

    The most unbalanced Moba i have ever played. Oneshot or be oneshot in the entire game.

    The game is bad, the devs work hard to make skins but the stability of the game is bad, you get constant crashes on new consoles. You get constant crashes on PC. For which you get up to a whole 24 hours ban (yes, 24 hours ban for their game crashing on you).

    You get paired unfairly in ranked matches, I've played 10 in which 3 of those had someone AFK, 2 of those had player now knowing

    You get paired unfairly in ranked matches, I've played 10 in which 3 of those had someone AFK, 2 of those had player now knowing how to build, counterbuild or play the gods they themselves picked. People have better time in normal conquest than playing ranked because the ranked matchmaking is garbage and completely broken and has been like that since the game came out.

    I'd argue that SMITE is better than league of legends when it comes to inside the game. Between the two I would rather play SMITE over LoL even though LoL is more polished. But SMITE still isn't anything special. It may just be that I am not a big fan of the MOBA genre but it's not really anything special. Combat is about the same as LoL is with just a different camera angle. SMITE is aI'd argue that SMITE is better than league of legends when it comes to inside the game.

SMITE is a lot more aggressive with it's microtransactions which is a large down side. I would not really recommend this game.

    If you're a fan of LoL this may be a fun game to mix it up some but it's not really my style of game. Just know that there will be much more microtransactions and less polish.

    Ok your game is cool and **** Hi-Rez but god you own me at least 11 hours of my **** time for the game takes longer to launch than my crush to say yes, and don't get me starting with the **** Russian roulette that is the reconnecting button, which should be renamed "ALT+F4 or Not".

    Dear developers, please sell this game as game, which will be autonomous from your f*cking servers. People with pleasure will pay full-price, just let them be free from your ugly "service".

    Smite has been my favorite game for 4 years. I've played the end of season 2 so i know how much it was a nice game before.

    But now, it is the most disappointing game i've played in my life, and i'm releived to uninstall it. This game is an ocean of salt. Where apparently all the libtards are gathering to let out their anger. In 95% of the games you play, there will be a random
    Smite has been my favorite game for 4 years. I've played the end of season 2 so i know how much it was a nice game before.

    But now, it is the most disappointing game i've played in my life, and i'm releived to uninstall it.

    This game is an ocean of salt. Where apparently all the libtards are gathering to let out their anger.

    In 95% of the games you play, there will be a random dude making a drama scene, with salt, hatred, feed, spam, DC, insults. So at the end of the game, you report him, in hope this player get banned.

    But you know they funniest part of it? It is YOU, the good player, who will be banned.
    I played Smite for 800 hours, so i know by experience all i'm assuming here. It's the good guys who get all the crap in this game.

    My friend DC 3 times between 15 games to take care of his newborn child, and he got banned.
    Then i've been banned for days without any reasons too, the only thing i can think of is: i was being reported out of jealousy because i had alot of kills as hunter and mage, and i stole kills alot. Otherwise i have NO idea what i've done wrong! (wait... maybe that ONE dc i had days ago because i lost electricity due to a tornado in my region!)

    Yet, over time in game i see repeteadly the sames people (by recognizing their account name) Still playing, and some of them i remember because they are incredebly extreme salty players.

    I'm done with Smite, and i'm not recommending this game to anyone. Especially not the new players now since some players are smurfing and destroys the new players without giving them a change to learn the game fairly.

    The matchmaking is incredebly unbalanced, the god comp in assault is always crap too. one team always gets crappy gods when the other gets a OP comp with zeus or ah puch.

    The player's level matchmaking is terrible too. They consider lvl 67 players to lvl 150 to be at the same level. A team can get players lvl: 67,69,80,80,102, While the other get: 142,82,102,136,110... It's stupid because at lvl 69 i was a total noob, i didn't know the items in shop by heart, i didn't new all the gods yet, and my reflexes were still slow. it's when i reached lvl 110 that i considered myself a finally good player. So why should i be teamed with lvl 67 that still asks me ''what should i buy?'' or ''How do i play this guy?''

    i'm writting all this here because it's bothering me that we can't have fun in games nowadays.

    It's a fun game. Great game-play mechanics and plenty to do. However, the game is a team based game, and the match making is atrocious. Considering this game is a team based game, match making is vital to the enjoyment of it.

    its a decently fun game but the company behind it has no consequences for its employees. Many times on official hi rez twitch chat or twitter you can see employees (usually casters) bullying other people. Online harassment is a terrible thing in mobas and when the company behind it is BM you can imagine what the player base acts like.

    The game itself is very addicting and has a great concept. The over the shoulder MOBA put you closer to the action and retains the strategy factor. There is one huge huge flaw that makes the game awful. The game is definitely run to make money. They release new god's to play all the time which is great but they always make them crazy overpowered on purpose.

They release new god's to play all the time which is great but they always make them crazy overpowered on purpose. So literally half of the time you are playing smite there will be a god out that is insanely over powered and beating the **** out of you and there is nothing you can do about it until they patch it. During that period (which is half the time) everyone is picking the god so its impossible to play a balanced game. Once they finally balance the new god they shortly release a new one with the same story. I finally gave up on thinking hi rez would actually balance the game and not release bull **** god's but they never will. Expand

    This game both looks and plays horribly.
    It could honestly pass for being made 5 years before its actual release.

    Made by a studio who can't create an original IP and only steals ideas from others, badly!

    If you want to play a MOBA there are plenty of better options.
    And, in my opinion, 3rd person view for MOBAs isn't the way to go. Other games don't do it for a reason - it's awful.

    With 4.3 they are adding EAC against most of the communities will. The entire Smite subreddit is filled with negative things about it. I've uninstalled smite with the only way I'd return is if they remove EAC or I find a way to disable it and still run Smite.

    You get what you pay for. This game is free for a reason, because it's garbage. Don't waste your time playing with garbage: it makes your hands smelly and you might get stuck with a dirty needle.

The robots you fight in Co-Op are used in the normal and ranked modes with difficulties being very bad or very high in terms of the robot skills in the match. They actively restrict American’s 1st Amendment right by removing a player’s ability to speak in matches.
    Some players have had the ability to surrender in less than 2 minutes into the match which is not supposed to be possible until 10 minutes into the match. My entire guild quit due to over reporting by players that loose and cannot take the pressure of pvp which was the last straw after dealing with all the problems I previously mentioned. All in all the game is very good game but the staff and people running it are ruining the game by match manipulation and deceptive practices.

    The gods are very unbalanced. That's ok, Games can have some issues, but then you realize that Hirez keep unbalancing and unbalancing everytime, buffing strong gods like Cyla, Kumba, Nox and Nerfing weak ones, mainly removing defense stats' strongness. It's all that? No, Then they put Susano and New Mouse, both ultra high overpower, **** all the game up.

    Third god perspective freshens up the MOBA genre but its potential was not fully utilized (e.g. you can jump, but there’s nowhere to jump to). Smite makes up for that with varied game modes and accessibility to inexperienced or casual players. [06/2014, p.58]

    The product of Hi Rez Studios is well made, and offers different feelings from those of its competitors, thanks to the different camera angle and a fast paced gameplay.
