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!

Who is this Pleb and how do I get his voice pack?

[maddie_creates]

Inuki I miss you. Come back to me baby.

[obk]

Sheesh, the intro to this vid shocked me.

[TheIronCast]

Big Thanks to Vox for covering for me this week <3 I know you guys are so harsh when it comes to new guys but just remember how hard you were on me in the first 100 episodes of SMITE Top 5 Plays! Just for clarification. I was complaining about some chest pains and the Doctor said it could be an alien that might explode and wanted to run some tests just to be safe. If zerglings havn't taken over by next week we're probably safe and will resume as normal.

[garenmaster]

Can we thumbs this up so people see this? Inuki is at the doctors.

[merlynrodriguez]

we need this person to do an announcer pack???

[TheHolySeraph]

1) missed Inuki's comical jokes. Only heard one I chuckled at here (If it's a play with Ao Kuang by Gorgonzolla you know it'll be cheesy)
2) Vox honestly didn't do bad at all, good voice I'd interest a VP in.
3) and most disappointing, none of these plays seemed that great. Awilix at number 2 was meh, and ao kuang did Ao kuang things and let how many of his people die just to get a triple kill?

[yura]

What is that Ao's build? The damage is unreal

[superbob]

That AK play wasn't impressive at all. No impressive skill shots, no juking, not a penta. Literally just did AK late game stuff.

[pinkush]

I do not understand a single word this guy says...

[imrickjamesiii]

im sorry i didnt like vox, it just wasnt as hype even frost from console tops wouldve been better for me

[cwadazzfett]

If Vox did a voice pack it would be the hardest choice of my life, that one or my Inuki one that i have never unequipped.

[neongutzz]

Whoa man slow down, ur talking way too fast Jesus

[stijnvleugels]

That Ao dmg... anyway, this episode was nuts! :o

[ModernIntervention]

man just shows u how op and broken ao kuang is smh

[dylanbarnes]

YOU CAN NEVER REPLACE

"Gorgonozolla submitted a play so you know its gonna be cheesy" lol

[braianfloresstecler]

PLEASEEEE !!!! I DONT WANT KEEP WATCHING THIS WITHOUT UU !!!

[Lynch]

Ughhhh I thought I'd make it this week from the play I submitted a few days ago for sure. If I submit a play last week and it isn't in this week is it not considered at all afterwards? Or is it possible to see it in the future?

[cg]

Would it help everyone to look at the description before commenting as to why Inuki isn't here? Sheesh, u people just keeps on complainin

[cloud]

What the hell is with everyone who voice too 5 plays? No homo but they're voices are sexy asf XD
