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!

Finally, gonna get my penta with Xing Tian.

So, just suicide pull with Ares. Got it.

Beads are going to ruin so many of those plans.

HiRez: Okay so, you know how people LOVED the mini arena battle that would happen at the end of an arena match during the underworld event? But, sometimes it would be really cheesy. Because, people would just pick gods like Sobek, Tyr, Herc, and Xing Tian and knock/pull/throw people into the lava. SO WHAT IF WE MADE A GAMEMODE, WHERE IN THE TRAILER, WE SHOW OFF HOW YOU CAN BE CHEESY AND MAKE EVERYONE FEEL FRUSTRATED. 10/10

it wish there was a new element where any god fell down in the whole they would have to escape but they only have a limited time. having just an arena with holes and a kuku dragon skin isn't much of an adventure

All I can think about is how many Nenes will be watched.

After playing the trials of Hercules, I loved the idea of playing a dungeon crawler game mode with Gods and Goddesses from different mythology in Hercule's lore, and it was more enjoyable compared to past adventures modes. Hopefully, Hi-Rez would continue to create different adventure modes based on lores from Egypt, Greek, Mayan, Norse, Shinto, Celtic, Hindu, Chinese, and Rome. Thumbs up if you agree.

When you go from an MMO to just adding holes in a map FeelsBadMan

[thedavidj]

Random gods I assume? Because XT would be really broken for this

[DatsRandom]

This litteraly put the biggest smile on my face in the longest of times.

[bobbyswagner]

Yall should make a small round map, 5v5 arena but u only get one life... maybe have a round system to make the games more competitive and longer.

[iamcar]

A meta of pulls, pushes and lots and lots of cc immunity

[cg]

This is so Troll, it's gonna be hilarious! I just laughed the entire 51 seconds of the video xD

So, the PVE adventure was stupidly successful. The community was really happy with Smite having something new and fresh to do between battles. Taking that into account, you went the complete opposite way and added a partially modified arena for your next adventure. An arena that resembles that mini-game at the end of a normal arena match most people hated because there were a set of Gods that took all the fun out of it because of their kit.
Nice one, Hi-Rez. You sure know how to disappoint your playerbase.

[leafeonking]

This looks amazing. Definitely my favorite of all adventures

[ZeroSkilled]

Is that Xibalba at 0.38?
"This will scare even Xibalba!" - Hun batz INC

[DrachenYT]

Regardless of how frustrating the crowd-control cheese in mid could be, this is still the most enjoyable the game has been to date. Really would like this special Arena to come back in some form, either through an Arena rotation or as an addition to the MOTD pool.

[GavinLIVE]

Anhur is gonna be hilarious, with his impale

[masdaffe]

i main skadi and i was thinking of the anger someone would feel if they slid into a hole. XD
