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!

"cause i'm luna thicc with 2 c's" this line has more cancer than loki and nox combined

[mcteetyswag]

Its funny how people dont understand the restrictions and challenges when it comes to designing a skin from a concept art. I say that Hi-rez, ya'll did a great job and thanks for working hard to get this community skin out into the actual game.

[MowFoolsINC]

I want this skin just for the Sailormoon reference!!

"I'm luna thicc with two c's"

[MapleCatArt]

People butt hurt about this skin and I don't get it. Yes she doesn't have a second set of wings and maybe a few less feathers but if you understood how game art works the artists have a budget to work with for polys and bones for animation. Taking away very small amounts hasn't effected the skin that much if at all. On top of the fact concepts always translate differently into 3D, it's never going to look the same. I think the end result looks amazing, especially her pet.

[odeszaa]

So many people always complaining. Shut up it's just a skin.

[metroboomin]

LUNAAA THICC|| the skin looks cool but her original concept looks sooo much better

[zhaitan]

who else thought she had a man's voice at the start

[blackkyurem]

Some people complaining about this skin being oversexual but no one complaining about Daji, Awilix original design, hell even the water dancer Nu Wa at the end of the videos like calm the Hel down.
This skin is kid friendly, I've seen kid shows with girl characters that show more than this. Dark Magician Girl from Yu-Gi-Oh, and Wonder Woman from DC for example.
I don't even have to go into other kid friendly video games, don't get me started. This new Awilix skin is just fine and still looks good as well as very close to the original.

[SuperMangoLOL]

Honestly I wasn't a fan of this skin at first, it looked a bit goofy. After hearing the voice pack and seeing the abilities I'm happy with how it turned out though.

[imalwaysinthecommentsectio]

SOOOO WE ARENT GONNA TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT ANHUR GOT A BUFF BUT MY MAIN (XBALANQUE) IS SITTING IN THE CORNER CRYING 😢😢

[PowerTeaaa]

I like the voices but that's pretty much it.

[cameljamlion]

Sailor Moon reference. Didn't expect that after the thicc joke.

[literalvillain]

Looks like some people doesn't know what "concept" means

[jermainallen]

0:36 - 0:40 best line ever.

Sounds like Suki is smashing that

[Rodrivenus]

Wow, i love the new Awilix recolor :O . Im so hyped about that upcoming new skin for her :D

[zackmarsh]

Oh look, people in the comments section complaining AGAIN. At this point Hi-Rez should probably stop taking community skins because as soon as they alter the skin outside of its original concept people are gonna whine about it.

[Elderscrolls]

The art is highly reminiscent of Warcraft style Night elf and Nightsaber.

[ggFi]

I did not expect those lines at the end...
