League of Legends vs SMITE
League of Legends
League of Legends (LoL) is one of the world's most popular multiplayer battle arena (or MOBA for short) where the main objective is to destory the enemy's base. Developed by Riot Games, the game features an intensely competitive, team-based gameplay that's both fast-paced and in-depth. League of Legends also offer an amazing variety of champions, each with their individual skills and powers; advantages and disadvantages; as well as roles on the battlefield. The game is also among the world's top eSports MOBA games and there are tons of competitions organized worldwide 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.
