Share your favourite SMITE memory!

I'm very fond of an Anhur move I had. Our titan was practically lifeless and defeat was certain, we were defending as best we could, when a Ra simply walked up alone and tried to end the game, I managed to line up a perfect impale, we simply destroyed it. I don't know why, but it seemed like a cascade effect, each one of the enemy team tried and died alone, basically trying to end the game in a totally inconsequential way. We managed to pull the mid and as they had died sequentially, they also respawned and were alone, dying again. I have this memory because I myself thought it was already lost, but we managed to win. It may sound silly, but I just love the feeling of knowing that I didn't give up and won that simple game.

It may seem like a simple thing, but I remember when I started Smite 1 for the first time many years ago to play with my cousin. I had no idea how the game worked, but I had been given early access, I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I was given an account with a nickname (a nickname I still use today haha). So I started the game and simply couldn't play, there was a Loki bullying me hahaha (I can laugh today), and this experience that was supposed to be “scary” simply motivated me to play and understand what was going on, since I was simply dying, I couldn't even see what was happening on my screen. It's a simple thing, but it marked me.

My best memory of Smite was when I started playing, 7 years ago. I discovered the game when I was still at school and ended up becoming addicted to the game. Almost every day, when I got home from school, I would play smite with my friends. We created good memories over the years and to this day we remember some of those moments from time to time.

I think I would say the first victory, It was very hard, I play the first game only in the first year that it was released and for the first time I saw a MOBA with third person camera, and immediately I thought that it would be a lot easy and a way more fun. I definitely enjoyed a lot more Smite than Dota or LOL but it was as hard as any other MOBA.

I remember that I was playing most with my brother and his friends since they were MOBA players already and with so much effort we could win our first match, I was playing with Zeus since the tutorial was with him but it was nothing so easy playing against other players! But we finally win, unfortunately we went back to the LOL that most of us already had some progress.

It's honestly really hard to talk about my favourite Smite memory. There's so many. I have a few short stories I could tell, I guess!

I remember when I first started the game back during season 1. I was younger then, and the concept of a "MOBA" was foreign to me. My friend had asked me to download Smite so we could play, so I did! I remember playing joust, and whether we lost or won, we just had fun playing the game. I remember picking Cupid a lot, and during game queues I'd look at all the characters. When I saw Chaac, I loved his themes and his kit. I don't know exactly what drew me to him, but I think it had to be his giant axe and his lightning thematics. I saved up my favor and bought him, and I remember playing him in joust with my friends and doing horribly. He did no damage, I didn't understand his passive, and back then his ult didn't even have a knock-up unless you used your axe- but I kept playing, and to this day Chaac is one of my favourite Smite characters!

I remember when my friend and I dared each other to play some of the worse gods in the game at the time- Zhong Kui and Bacchus. I changed my name to ZhongQueefer and he changed his name to Bacchaholic, and we told each other that we can't pick any other character until those two characters were diamonded. This was before boosters and before they did many double worshiper weekends. We played like, a hundred games together playing only those two gods. It was horrible. Eventually, though, I became really good at Zhong Kui, and despite his weak kit, I became really effective on him! This experience really shaped how I see characters in MOBAs- as skills to be honed and not as a binary "good" or "bad"- many Smite gods feel clunky at first, only to become fast and smooth with some practice.

Smite has been one of my daily experiences for over 10 years now. I love the game then, and I love it now. Even if it has had its up and downs, it's something that I'd never trade, as its given me so many good times, bad times, friends and foes.

I love Smite!
