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!

I literally cried at this. Like, this is the kinda stuff that makes me tear up :') And whenever Inuki gets mega-hype, I tear up. This is why I love his Top 5 Plays so much and why we all keep asking for an Inuki announcer pack! :3 <3

[moonynight]

Oh man i nearly cried by the last one i just love how Poseidon and Vamana got Hun Batz the Penta that was amazing

[FamousPixels]

4:51 that's a good team, letting him get that Penta. If only I got teams like this.

[OhNoTheFace]

Poor Ymir, he is doing the best he can as a single frost giant with an adopted archer baby :(

[closetwarrior]

Oh my god that last play was amazing. I can't deal with how good that backflip was.

[Scylaxius]

I LOVE how they let hun batz get the last kill for the penta. Teams like that need to be recognized.

[roberxd]

the best part its in the end when the whole team let hun batz have the penta kill

[TheIronCast]

Don't Fail me now Google Translate!!!! Check Reddit for Xbox Top 5 Plays and @inukii

[TheMan]

I once got a Pentakill as Ares on assault... Then the fucking servers all restarted, without any kind of warning. Fucking thank you, hirez.

[mendozafnetwork]

Inuki, you are a national treasure. Like, Wonder of the World status. I was having my breakfast while watching this and you, quite literally, made milk spatter from my nose with this.

[justchilln]

The commentary this week was a cut above the rest.
Great work Inuki!
("Oh GOD! Here it comes... For some it's an ABOMINATION!" LMAO)

[LukeTsk]

Hi-rez, a little suggestion for a next god. Greek pantheon doesn't have a warrior, what about Achilles?

[ariana]

I literally laughed out loud at that merry go round HAHAHAHA.
And what a very nice team! They waited at the end so hun batz could get a penta kill! Awesome!

[Dbermudez]

Damn that first play was just epic as hell, i got chills all over my body while watching it xD and inuki adds the emotion needed for the play to be even more epic. You rock inuki xD

[MoGimp]

I normally hate it when people talk over plays but you are hilarious. thanks bruh

[Viedrelis]
