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!

*Since no one seems to know the obvious* YES Bowser is based off of a Kappa.

[@caleb4616]

Nice Try so are the koopa's who would've known kappa koopa

[@kennethk8461]

Nice Try well TECHNICALLY he was based on an ox, but that was original concept so this comment is irrelevant

[@YodaDJmaster]

Kenneth Kim Well Shigeru Miyamoto said he's based on a Kappa so he's based on a Kappa.

[@kennethk8461]

Ik my mistake, i was talking about the original concept of bowser, that's why I said the above comment was irrelevant

[@robertdupey5466]

Nice Try it does seem kind of logical though

[@DownBadBear]

they don't mention how they steal peoples souls through their butts. very important piece of lore Hi-Rez.

you have not to wait anymore. He will be never added because Jesus is not polytheistic religion so Allah feelsbadman.

[@A1phaz0ne]

It feels odd that they refuse to use someone like Jesus. Sends a pretty weird message, like they'll take him seriously but no other religion seriously.

HOW did we NOT get a Bowser skin as a Switch exclusive skin when Smite dropped for Switch? It's perfect. Nene Kappas become Koopas, Already has the shell spikes, Every move would be a perfect Bowser crossover skin.

us console players didn't even get the 4.1 patch yet. smh

[@jaydakotawest4401]

Wild Yoda ikr. pisses me off tbh

[@zackmarsh4912]

We will get Season 4 on the 13th, but it doesn't change the fact that console players feel left out.

[@wildyoda2931]

Zack Marsh Exactly so we can expect the update after that to be a month long aswell.😧

[@aForkfulOfGold]

Get a PC one of these days. Done.

[@AceKitties]

lol, aww poor console peasants feeling left out! aww, PC players are left out most of the times when it comes to game titles. Deal with it, we have been doing it forever. + Mobas are meant to be played on pc, hirez is a primary PC game dev, They're exploring Consoles, so obviously, You'll have to wait.

ok hi-rez I exspect a gamera skin for this guy

Blastoise SKIIIN!!!!

[@colinmccann2102]

Nathaniel Rodriguez bowser more than blastoise because the move set really makes no sense with blastoise

[@flapjack6784]

turtle butts ftw what are you saying. Shoots a wartortle, the ult all ready makes sense, reflect is literally a move, plus protect could be used. Sumo I got nothing, maybe rock climb? But I'm not sure if blastoise gets it

[@hctiballik7912]

withdraw is his 4, tackle would be his 3, 2 would be harden, 1 would be a squirtle.

[@bluemage4070]

sounds like another copyright strike. they already had one when bastet's spec ops skin looked like catwoman from DC comics. sure bowser and blastoise skins would be cool but nintendo is pretty picky when it comes to copyright.

Average Joe that's what I was about to say... looks like he might have enough damage either. will wait and see. but I know for a fact his 2nd ablitiy is going to be op with Gem of isolation :) and everybody complaining since you can have maybe 3 turtles out at once with that cooldown proc on damage and it gets nerf to not proc items.

Needed insult: (they need to be improvised) To Nu Wa "I can beat you without one of my legs!"-ish To Poseidon "So you're pro at splashing water, pfft amateur" To Cabra (something about being a durable/big guy) To Hou yi "My richochet is cooler"-ish
