DotA 2 vs SMITE
DotA 2
DotA 2 , like League of Legends, is among the world's most popular MOBA with millions of players logging in everyday. The game features exhilaratingly strategic gameplay where teamwork is of utmost importance, as well as a myriad of well-designed maps, and a lineup of delicately balanced heroes, each with their own roles, specialities, strengths and weaknesses. Each hero can be further customized to fit the role needed and the playstyle of the player with items that can be purchased while in a match. DotA 2 is also the world's most competitive MOBA with millions of dollars iven to the winners at its main event, The International, which was held annually.SMITE
SMITE is a competitive and rather popular (ranked around 3rd worldwide), mythological MOBA game that stands out from all the other MOBA games as players in this game battle it out in a unique third person view. In fact, despite being fundamentally the same tower-pushing gameplay, the entire gaming experience is very different as well mainly due to its controls, the group sharing of experience points and gold, as well as the way you do combat. Instead of the common incessant clicking, players will get to play their characters through the usual RPG controls in a somewhat action-based combat.The game also retains most of the old MOBA elements such as having an in-match item shop, a wide array of gods to play as along with unlockable skins depending on your god's rank, and a three-laned map. But it does change things up by making the game a bit friendlier to newcomers by having a recommendation system for puchasing in-match items.
SMITE may not be very unique in this day and age especially considering the large number of MOBA games, but back when it was released, the game was quite revolutionary. Even if you prefer the old-school MOBA gameplay, we'd recommend trying this game just to experience the MOBA genre in a whole new way.
