    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!

      @TheEroku 9 років тому +9

      BentoBattleship Actually, with Arachne Athena did literally fuck her over because she was a sore looser, but Medusa on the other hand... There are two stories, the first one is Medusa asking to go south because she had never seen the sun, Athena denied her, Medusa got angry and accused her of being jealous, Athena got angry, Bam Medusa
      And then the second story... Its like the actual lore of Medusa you see here except they left out one core detail, Medusa slept with Poseidon in Athena's sacred temple (Now whether they actually slept or she got raped we don't really know) But in any case she got pregnant from it, Athena got mad (Probably because she slept in the temple, and not you know.. The baby) and once again turned her into Medusa

      TheEroku athena didn't turn arachne into the first spider because she outweaved her. her work depicted the gods having mortal weaknesses such as lust and desire. now, this might be true, but it's extremely disrespectful to point it out, especially in the presence of a goddess. it's like saying to fatso that they're a landwhale, it might be true but you shouldn't point it out

    bare in mind that in some stories Medusa was raped by the god of the sea, and cause of her priestess status and needing to remain a virgin and perhaps the fact she was raped at one of the temples of Athena, she was punished for was was done to her. So in her time of need he victim was treated poorly. I really do not think Medusa is a bad person, just she has had some bad things happen to her since the gods pretty much ruined her life and turned their back on her. So ya I can see her going against them.

      Aleksandr Merchant I would rather have the archangels from The Book of Enoch and the like be put in. They aren't actually apart of the mythos of Christianity or Jewish people but they are commonly mistaken for it do to the blend in today's modern pop culture. They basically are the battle ready badasses of the mythos and are referred to the seven virtues of Heaven and also represent seven days of the week. They even have connections with the western philosophy of the 4 elements being fire water earth and air but that's more for the main 4 while the other 3 are left out or given lesser known elements.

      The number of people that would be offended by Jesus being put in the game, and the fact that he has very boring powers compared to typical mythical deities (I mean, turning water into wine isn't really impressive), I don't think he's going to ever be put in. I think sticking with the more interesting deities from mythologies where the Gods battled one-another and were not all-powerful is the better way to go, and it conveniently also avoids people getting upset quite as much.

      It's kinda implied he raped her. How is a mortal woman suppose to refuse the advances of a god? Answer: she can't. As a priestess she was to remain a virgin so she would never consent. So Posiedon took her by force, which was easy for him cause he's a god and has supernatural strength.

I have to say one thing though, they should try to make the ultimate more creative, Cassiopeia and Medusa (Dota2) already have a very similar ultimate, and Dota's Medusa uses a bow too, so maybe they could have gone for another weapon too. But that just me though, it may be really difficult to make something 100% distinct, taking in consideration that all theses characters are based/inspired on the same greek myth.
