    SMITE is an interesting take on the moba genre but fails when it comes to matchmaking, new player experience, queue times, and timed lock out.

    After level 10 I was routinely matched against a team of level 30s. It does not notify you of players leaving during god select, so unless you're carefully watching for the next queue pop you will get locked out of playing for 30 minutes.

    The new player experience is awful, and it's easy to see why the player base is so small.    … Expand

    A different kind of Moba compared to league.

    Toxicity is still there but less than league.. Allows players to surrender at 10 minutes (Good since there are tons of afks in moba games) Tons of Variety varies from different nations No Steal killing exist in this game, gold are shared equally and it is more of a team game Extremely fun assault mode compared to League's ARAM.

    Excellent daily login rewards that gives you gems (to buy skins without having to spent money)

    Tanks don't get melted like in League, in here tanks can actually tank for carries using body block and its really fun to play as a tank. whereas in League no one ever wants to play Support since its boring.

The one and only downfall of this game is the inclusion of "rogue classes", like Loki for example. There is nothing more unskilled than a rogue, in any game, let alone a MOBA, which is basically defined by skill-based-play. Remove the rogues and fix the unbalanced gods and Smite is solid gold. Until then...Meh, it's okay I guess.

    There is also absolutely no ranking system for matchmaking, I can't say how many times I've been on a team of new players vs. a team of mostly pro-ranked, or beta testers. Makes for incredibly unfair matches. The game has a player level system, which would be an easy base to use for such a matchmaking system, but it apparently disregards it. The Devs are probably to busy cashing their checks from all the Tournaments.

    TL;DR:
    Great game, balance issues, rogues suck and people that play them suck, needs matchmaking balancing.    … Expand

    This is a very good game, in the sense that its the first MOBA I've ever played and I like playing it. The graphics are enjoyable, as are the different gods/modes to choose from.

Not only does it take well over 10 minutes to find a game because someone is leaving the lobby or not locking in, but you face harassment after actually getting into a game. If you are good, you have no life and you are a hacker.... but if you play a bad game you suck you need to delete your account and go kill yourself. No matter how much you get harassed, and even if you report someone, it still stays the same. The person never gets a penalty in any way, and they continue to harass you even if you play a good game with them. It goes well beyond the game as well, even after the game has ended they private message you to continue being crappy. This game would be perfect if we could actually block someone so that I can never read their raging messages. I've tried blocking them though it still pairs them in a game with me, and I can still read messages in game. The only thing it solves is private messages. This game actually has made me delete it so many times just because of people being such ass faces about every little thing. All in all I like how this game plays, but if you can find a way to weed out the little **** faces that ruin the whole experience it would be perfect. I've had less ****ing from players on call of duty and I thought that game was bad. On this game we have guys with no life that just sit here and play 24/7 to complain to other people. Then they always seem to get stuck on MY team. Even if we are winning and he/she is the only one on the team dying at all they still freak out and tell the whole team they suck etc. This game should come with free anger management for those that obviously well beyond need it and a zanax so we can put up with their crap. If you can get past all the B.S from the community online, then by all means play this game. It is quite good, provided you grow up before you download it because all the little children playing this game are making it unpleasant for us that actually enjoy games for FUN. It's not the end of the world if you lost, and if it is then kindly ask your mother to wipe your butt and give you a new diaper before you log back in. I give it a 8/10 just because the game was great, and yet I still would rather eat glass than play it.… Expand

    The classes and large character set are very balanced, and the third person view adds an element of control in a MOBA i've never had. If you even remotely enjoy MOBAs and like Third person games, this game will hook you very quickly. I put 23 hours in 3 days.

Every player starts with the same amount of gold and depending on your farm and skills you can surpass your enemy. Snowballing has recently been reduced a LOT and every character has its own strong periods in the game and bad. Picks counter picks are making this game more fun than it is already.

    Smite is a beautifully made third-person Massive Online Battle Arena, or MOBA for short. This gives it a different, yet similar play style as DOTA 2 and League of Legends, but the game play is faster, and you have to aim your attacks, making the learning curve slightly steeper than other games in the genre.

This gives it a different, yet similar play style as DOTA 2 and League of Legends, but the game play is faster, and you have to aim your attacks, making the learning curve slightly steeper than other games in the genre. The third-person aspect of the game allows for many flanks and ganks, putting you directly into the battle at all times. The playable characters are Gods from multiple different pantheons, which currently consist of Greek, Norse, Roman, Egyptian, Chinese, Hindu, and Mayan with hopefully more to come. There are currently 70 Gods overall and each player starts with five free Gods: Neith, Thor, Guan Yu, Ra, and Ymir. The rest of the Gods can be purchased using in-game currency that is earned by simply playing the game, or they can be purchased with gems that cost real currency. The game also offers the Ultimate God Pack which contains every God currently out, and all Gods that come out in future updates. The pack only costs $30 US, so it is very worth the cost.

    There are five different classes that each God is under based on their abilities; these classes are: Mage, Assassin, Warrior, Guardian, and Hunter. Mages have magical based attacks, and generally are ranged, they also generally have low health, and high damage/support. Hunters have physical based attacks, and are almost always ranged, they generally have low health, and are your Attack Damage Carry, or ADC for short. Warriors have physical based attacks, and are melee, they generally have medium to high health, but have medium to low damage. Assassins have physical based attacks, and are melee, they have very low health, but high damage. Guardians have magical based attacks, some are ranged, and some are melee, they have very high health, and generally low damage.

    Smite consists of six game modes: Conquest, Joust, Arena, Assault, Siege, and the Match of the Day, or MotD for short. Conquest is your normal 5v5 MOBA style map, consisting of a jungle, three lanes, each with two towers per team, and a phoenix per team. The objective is to destroy the opponent’s Titan which is in the enemy base. Joust is a 3v3 map, consisting of a jungle, one tower per team, and one phoenix per team, the objective is to destroy the opponent’s Titan. Arena is a 5v5 team death match map. The goal is to deplete the opponent’s tickets, which start at 500; five tickets are taken off for every player kill, one ticket is taken off if your team gets the final hit on an enemy minion (Note that if your minions kill an enemy minion, no points are deducted), one point is taken off if one of your minions enter the enemy portal, and 15 points are taken off if a siege minion enters the enemy portal. Assault is a 5v5 map, consisting of one lane, no jungle, two towers per team, one phoenix per team, and you cannot recall, or walk back onto the fountain, and the objective is to destroy the enemy titan. God selection is random. Siege is a 4v4 map, consisting of two lanes and a middle jungle. Each lane has two towers per team, and a phoenix each per team, the objective is to destroy the enemy titan. The MotD is random, and changes daily, so be sure to check in every day to see what it is.

    The item system is similar to that of other games in the genre, consisting of Consumables, Actives, and Passives. For the first few games of Smite, play with the Auto-Buy and Auto-Level option on, the game will then make your God a basic item build. Once you are use to the God, you can go into the God Builder section, and create an item build, and ability build, so while Auto-Buy is on, it will by the items you preset. Sometimes you’ll need to adapt your build based on the enemy team, so don’t be shy to turn off Auto-Buy in the middle of a game to change your build to fit the scenario.    … Expand

    An enjoying take on the MOBA genre, fun, but fails to blow away with its unimmersive gameplay feels and graphics. To add, the game is very unfriendly to beginners, and the lack of players just so make it worse. Nonetheless, it's free to play, so see for yourself.

    Smite is one of the games that often works as an alternative to MOBAs like LoL and DOTA. But this is more of an alternative, it is not even a copy of those games. This is a standalone, interesting and, what is more, GREAT game, that you should not be afraid of checking out and playing.

    Love MOBA games, but lost interest in Dota and LoL due to toxic community and the game mechanics of constantly clicking everywhere to move my character. Smite's design and gameplay is a breath of fresh air. I've played it for awhile, and always enjoy the epic fights. Sure you get some pugs that are awful, but if you hold your own and uplift the team you always have a fighting chance.

There are no auto attacks and all skill (unless they are buffs) need to be aimed which means you have to play much closer attention to what you are doing. Smite uses Gods form different mythologies as there "Hero's" and it has meant that I have learnt more about ancient cultures and their beliefs. It has a few game modes which are all unique. It has the normal MOBA game mode with the 3 lanes and the jungles but it also has an arena where you just need to kill the enemy and the Match of the day changes things within each game mode and it adds variety to what the game has to offer. Most of the community is good but there are some very toxic players. There are balancing issues and some items or gods are much more overpowered than others. You can customize your account with new icons, music themes, card borders, stands and god skins but there is so much that it can fell overwhelming and it can take awhile to gather gems (which is what you use to buy most of the stuff). Favor is the currency you get for playing the game but the stuff you can buy with it is limited. It also has some connection problems but if you have decent WiFi then you should be OK.

    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.

    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.

Just thinking about those long summer nights playing season 4 all night with my friends brings me very nostalgic/happy emotions. That being said, the game still has major problems that it has had for a long time. Smite is known for its terrible matchmaking which basically makes it unable to compete along side other major MOBAs like LoL or Dota 2. Hi-Rez (game developers) keep releasing new gods and content that keep breaking the game instead of trying to balance what they already have. This are the 2 main problems with Smite which IMO makes it not suitable for a 9 or 10 rating, though,the matchmaking system is totally being remade and Hi-Rez is slowly winning back the community's trust, we'll see how the game improves but as of right now, 8/10 for me.… Expand

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.    … Expand

Every Gas has it's own unique ability thus giving you a chance to make your own tactics and attack on several different ways.

    In the end of 2018 we have clearly saw a change in designers and the team that is creating the content for the game. First the arenas and the playgrounds that they implemented are very weird and ugly.
    Maybe the biggest problem (at the current time in January 2019.) is their launcher Everything worked fine for years and then in late 2018. Hi-Rez created a new launcher that makes you update the game very time you start the game. For users with fast connection, it will take up to 5 or 10 minutes to update every time in order to play. For other, it will take a lot longer.
    If you plan to play this game, I highly recommend it. But maybe it would be better to play it via Steam as you won't have any problems with updates. Only hope stays that the Smite team and Hi-Rez will leave the path that leads to poor graphics and really weird arena's and playgrounds and continue with the path that lead the game to be one of the best MOB games available.    … Expand

    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.

    Smite is an exhilarating MOBA that brings gods and mythological figures to life. With its unique third-person perspective, fast-paced battles, and a diverse roster of deities, it offers a fresh and immersive take on the genre. The strategic gameplay and constant updates make Smite a must-play for fans of competitive multiplayer games.

    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]
