I've been playing since beta and I love the game! It's great especially when you have a full crew of your friends because since the recent change they have made it so lower and higher level players mix in the matches now.. which you can imagine sucks when it's 3 AM and you're suck with nothing but noobs on your teams. The graphical update on Hercules was amazing, Bastet I'm still very upset about her update because classic Bastet was amazing all they needed to do was update the skin, they didn't have to change it. Night Prowler was a good skin as well for Bastet.. sadly they had to remove it due to glitches and they have yet to fix and republish if that's what they ever intend to do.

Also some if not all of their original skins and skill set up for various characters (i.e. Kali) should have never been changed despite the demand from the public. The story with Kali was that believers didn't want her to become a sexual stereotypical icon in the way that she had been originally portrayed, which if you look up on Google she wore very little but it actually was an upgrade from the clothing she wore in lore as well as depictions of her wearing only a flower necklace as a top and a skirt of forearms.. Even her skills which had a lot to do with blood, since her power came from blood and how smite originally set it up, was changed completely so her skills really have almost nothing to do with her compared to the original skill set. So in the end we have the Kali we have now because worshipers complained and now she's actually become the stereotype that they didn't want her to be in the first place.

Siege map has been gaining more detail with every update and is truly stunning compared to the other maps, I hope they plan to add more of the same detail that went into Siege to the other maps...

I hadn't meant to make a review about this game but over all it's a great game to play and I think everyone should give it a try.

I've only played a few times, usually when there's something to do. I'm nowhere near decent at it. I don't really like the LoL-esque hero pool.

Pretty much all mobas are the same... LoL is fun Smite is better to me but i don't like the limit character selection if you are a free player.

Oh yeah. That's why I hated it.
