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!

And my other question, Curse is now required on leagues game?

[Lynch]

What are the estimated Elo's for each rank? Like Bronze as a whole would be what, 1000-1200 elo? Also, if your elo has been destroyed from the terrible match making system as mentioned is there anything done about that?

[laris.official]

With what rank can qualifier duo queue?

[Kanimortia]

i would penta for that hat / cap on tier2 shelf just to the right! where do i order / buy one!?!?

[psq]

I didn't get the Player icon(s) for Leagues :/

[Kotnascherloser]

So is it possible that a team has no duo players but the other team has two players that queued together?

[LikeaBossA]

@3:55 barraccudda they comin' for you! the 4000 elo dream will never be realized BibleThump

[David-ubbv]

Wait i didnt understand the duo queue (example) if im on plat 1 and my friend is on plat 5 i can queue with him? or i can queue with some friend of gold? or i can just queue with someone with plat 1 ?

[Ragnell]

I'm not really sure how qualifying works. I thought it was supposed to only queue you with other qualifying players, but apparently I was wrong. In my first ever league game, I was matched with plat and diamond players. Can someone explain it to me?

[GlutenFreeWater]

Are they not releasing a new god this month or did I just miss it?

[gonzalonemesio]

i am de the smite latinoamerica de changes will be equeal and the other quiestion is if y didnt get to any Rank but y played ligue y will get the rewards to????

[ForsakenoneCZ]

Its nice that Hirez is trying to encourage more players to play league by enabling them to play it with friends. That I like. What I dont like is that only conquest and joust are For those of us who dont like these modes its limiting:( Me and my buddy dont/doesn't like conquests and we play assaults and arenas. So even though we would love play league in groups we dont have mode to play : /

[ShipinShn]

I cant join duo queue with a friend, , anyone knows the problem ?

[MrAwesomeAMV]

is there a place where i can find the elo list for ranks

[Flakeslayer]

A question, if I'm getting ranked up by the match and I'm getting like Diamond... 4 as example will I get the frame? Sry if my english was bad I hope everyone understood my question. :D

[SmugLookingBarrel]

will smite be down on the 11th while you make this massive patch?

also, are people's god mastery levels getting reset?

[Dracias]

so does this mean that as gold 1 and 1830 elo i will get to platinum ?

[Smuuurf]

What if ur lvl 9 do u get some rewards?

[LKadax]

And about the arena league, We'll have one now?! D:

[GAmrsKol]
