Tired of getting killed by Neith? Wondering why Scylla does so much damage? If you're new to SMITE, you can't expect to know everything about all 50+ gods right off the bat. In Know Your Enemy, TrendKiLL takes an in-depth look at each god in the game, and does his best to show new players what those gods are capable of. Gone are the days of wondering why you're dying. Now you're prepared! Now you Know Your Enemy!

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 don't know wat you did but 30 ping us fucking amazing. For so long I begged for australian servers, and now there better than I could ever have imagined. LOVE YOU TO DEATH HIREZ.

That guy closest to the camera at 1:06 is pretty freaking classy.

New Aussie servers are amazing! Missed pax though 😭

MrNicvdb

Can we get that west coast server back at some point?

What Hirez needs to consider is immediate permanent bans for people who are trolling in games. One warning and then second time gets a permanent ban, instead of banning people who out of frustration, instead of having a good time they swear to the trolls and thus they are banned for "harassment".
This is something that would greatly be appreciated by all I'm sure.

GothikQueen

help me plz

Instead of a server in Netherlands, they should have a server in London, and in say Moscow. That would give better coverage of the EU. That said, maybe just an upgrade of the current server would do it. Random 990 ping but with a perfectly fine TS3 connection and no other internet using program open is a little bit shitty.

Relyx

now you need to fix west coast servers

valiantx

I get 250 ping, and I'm from Alaska.

CubusKiller

Just need more Aussie's to Que :( Oh and more model/skins, new player but I already have every single one I could get :(

RookieN

as an australian, smite would be so fun if we didnt have to suffer 250+ ping. anything that isn't ra or ao kuang is unplayable

quarmby

Not surprised the Sydney Shredder skin has been mixed it is quite a lazy reskin

Khralle

So HiRez. Can you tell me why you gave the regional skin for the LatAm servers out to all players for free there, but are limiting the regional skin for Australian servers to only those who attend pax? As someone who is unable to attend PaxAus I find it very disappointing that people who aren't attending aren't able to obtain the skin without paying money, even though the previous regional skin was offered free of charge.
