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!

"Clearly this guy is the son of Odin"
"Yummy"

[xDerpiicity]

Man. I was really disappointed in the last one that he didn't do his legendary IS HERE!"

[KiwiandhisKite]

This was the most epic top 5. So many fights where it looked like they'd lose but they take it away from them! I love how smite fights can go either way!

[andrewtham]

The Janus snipe was the best of this play

[Drizzt]

the number 4 xing tien play was so good. Whoever played that xing tien has quick reflexes and thinking. everything he did was precise and quick, from sidestepping that spirit ball to dodging away then back in from the gusts and the instant ult for cc imunity when cabrakan flashed in. isis and cabrakan were completely outplayed with a very clever use of skills.

[SteefH]

the 5th play is just zeus being zeus right?

[kelvinefendii]

i've been waiting for xba top play for SO long.... omg tears dropped! :'D

[KIAMIAKA]

Vamana should have a hulk skin so when he goes into his ult he turns from Bruce Banner to hulk

[wasteprocyonid]

Efficient use of Janus ulti is always very impressive, even if it's like 75% luck :D

[mas]

[jeremytorculas]

5:06 "LeAlexi Laiho is Glad to have you on the COB Hate Crew :D

[Indieevar]

Thor play was pretty impresive, just because he was underlevel/at the same as the enemy team. Nice play there!

[mattcarter]

[amsyar]
