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 a ymir skin that actually changes his voice

[Wheel_of_Kain]

Damn, only now realized that you can redirect Herc's ult with Ymir's wall -.-

[DrunkenCoward]

God damnit. A skin for a god that I REALLY really like with a voice pack that is by far better than his original. I want this. I really do.

"Ymir like HONDA! But only fit in Oddessy. :("

Honda = E.Honda

Oddessy = Smite Oddessy

[arko]

He looks like Honda of Street Fighter !

[Danialw]

looks like Vamana and Ymir had a baby.

[rzin]

"Ymir like honda...but only fit in oddessy" lol i laughed a bit too hard at that one

[darko]

"Yamero" OMG ILL BUY IT
Yes i'm a weeaboo

[Pkoko]

So a japanese skin with a russian accent?
Ok...

[gavinmahoney]

So it's an Inuit Japanese skin with a Russian accent? K then HiRez, I see you.

[odaviing]

Another Japanese Ymir skin?
Wasn't the nuclear one enough..?
Heh. Eheheh. Heheh. Heh.

[Jakonite]

Eh, I still think Obsidian Shard skin is the best Ymir skin :)

[MeganSmite]

His ult is so pretty - he's a blue E Honda yeah? I loved picking him just get them in the corner and spam punch lmfao

[RpRm]

Finally a Ymir skin worth getting!
Dunno about you guys, but I'm fine with Ymir getting a real skin and not just recolour #75, or

[User]

Oh wow another ymir skin we didn't have enough of those

[JadeFromWarframe]

"Call Ymir Big Boss."
I thought you were Revolver Ocelot?

[captainweekend]

Now we only need a mage skin for a classical japanese motd, as now we have:

guardian: Irezumir
warrior: daimyodin
assassin: blind vengance nemesis
hunter: shinoblanque

I think a Hel skin where she switches between a geisha (light side) and ninja/assassin (dark side) would be cool.

[saltt]

what tier skin is that, those animations look Amazing

[SirMcFluffyThend]

That's a really nice way to show off the wall

[eenvleugjegoeiegames]

I like how all the attacks look, but I still think the idea of Ymir as a human is kinda strange...
