What is Smite?
Smite is a 3rd Person MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) 3D video game, published by Hi Rez Studios. In this moba, you battle other players using mythological characters from the Pantheons: Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Chinese, Hindu, Mayan,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is unique compared to other MOBAs such as Dota 1/2 + League of Legends as it used a unique kind of 3rd person type.

Spoiler: How Smite is Unique

Dota and League for example use a type of 3rd person view, called Isometric view, which looks like the image below.

Those types uses for example the arrows key to move the map.

Smite on the other hand uses another type of third person called OTS, or over the shoulder. This looks like the image below.

To move, you would use the WASD keys, and use your mouse as your view (Like PC FPS games.)

Just wondering if anyone else on this forum plays this game. If not, give it a go! It's growing largely , having its tournaments in conventions such as RTX, Gamescom in Europe, Pax Prime, etc!

I played some of the beta and it was absolutely terrible.

I'm a huge fan of SMITE, which are your favourite charaters? I found a list https://gameskeys.net/smite-tier-list/ but I think I don't completely agree with this, in my experience Chronos and Apollo should be moved to S+ category and Ares should be downgraded.
