    Started in late 2012 to early 2013 and it was really cool to see the changes and improvements made in such a tangible way other than through fading memories or a wiki thread. Haven't played since Gilgamesh's release, but with the decade anniversary coming up (which i didnt know until i finished this video sadly), I have to jump in and get my feet wet purely for nostalgia.

    I started playing Smite in early 2014 (and sadly missed out on Cacodemon Ymir by 2 or 3 levels) and I played it a ton until mid-late 2015, where I gradually played less Smite since I was getting into League. I stopped playing Smite altogether somewhere in 2016, between Fafnir and Erlang's releases. I started playing it again last year and, as of now, I play it every so often with my friends, with whom I used to play back then. I still like League better overall, but I have fond memories of Smite and usually have fun playing it too. It really is crazy how much the game has changed since 2014.

But somehow still keeps going cus of some wacky gems coming from the devs (Cthulu realease, Smite cars, crossovers). As a free-to-play I also feel that its cosmetics are one of the most reasonaby priced out there. Hard to believe that I've been playing this game for almost 8 years now.

    I started playing in the spring of 2013, just after Apollo got released, and it quickly became my main game. I took a few short breaks here and there, but clocked in around 8k hours before finally quitting and moving on to Rocket League in the spring of 2021. I don't really know if I'll ever return to the game again, but it will always hold a warm place in my heart and I look back fondly to my time playing Smite. I've met some amazing people through Smite (including my ex-bf who is now a good friend still) and I have many, many great memories of playing and watching it.

I still followed the pro scene though and this video brought back some great memories. The game has had its highs and lows but always pulls me back in, an entertaining game if nothing else.

Smite was the first moba I ever enjoyed. Played from closed beta all the way thru about 2016. It took the place of COD as my main game. I was destroying a conquest lobby in 2012 when my wife went into labor. Me and Eonjc met in MW3 and I introduced him to the game. Felt great seeing him take it to the pro level and win. Smite will always be near n dear.

    It hurt's and makes me want to play again to watch this video. I started playing back in beta. I can't remember if it was Bacchus or Xbalanque that was the newest god at the time, I'm pretty sure it was Xbalanque when I started, but I also have a vague memory of Bacchus being new, but that could just be from people telling me that while I played. When Thanatos was added I took one look at his kit and said "yep, he's my first Legendary" (this of course was before the diamond skins). His kit was so much more dangerous at the time. his abilities took % of TOTAL health, not current, his 1 took 10% health, his 2 was 5%, his 3 was 10%, and his ult was 15%. They made his 3 regular abilities all 5% of current health and his ult is now 10% of current, but at one time, just to use your full kit you had to sacrifice 40% of your health. Granted, you use one death scythe and you've got it back, let alone if you get a kill during the fight, or have lifesteal. He played so much differently back then, I dominated on him, average 10.5 kills a game, 4.7 deaths, only god I have with more than a 2.0 k/d across all games. 188 games, 102 wins, 86 losses. Got him 1200 worshippers before I stopped playing him though. Of course I subsequently picked up Hel upon her remodel and now she has my highest win rate of 73%. Thanks for the trip through the memories. Kind of want to go play again haha.

    I’ve been watching this game since season 3 but didn’t start playing til like season 5 or 6 when I started playing on console. Now I’ve been playing on pc since 2019.

    I started this game in season 5. I thought I started much later than that. Ive been here for while.

    Thank you for the nostalgia
    I'm only disappointed about the season 5 that ragnarok hades wasn't a chaos-side titan and they made far cousin of atlas instead
