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!

the Janus ult was the biggest plot twist

I can imagine Janus was shocked when it popped up triple kill on herc. XD and herc was shocked to see it coming.

I'm so excited to be in the Top 5! I remember playing with Inuki during the holidays! It was a ton of fun! Thanks for putting me and my Duo partner in Top 5 Inuki! Keep up the great work!

Ullr's t5 skin made it to the top 5 plays, can we nerf him now?

That Kali play was just disrespectful lmao...

i Think Janus was really the top play by far and that kali play too, last one wasn't too impressive

baalcifer

the #1 was literally just everyday duo lane plays, except for the monolith block which looked like an accident

The Janus play made me have to change pants. It was hot

alexyang

Everyone's reaction to the Janus ultimate: A double kill through the wall? Yeah, that's okay but does it really deserve to be a top 5 play?

(Ultimate keeps going)

Wait, why are we still following this?

(Sees Bellona)

NO WAY.

(Bellona dies)

HOW IS THIS NOT NUMBER 1?
