Love It Or Hate It: SMITE
Some free-to-play games are more polarizing than others, with some sides taking the stance of "great, totally non-exploitative implementation" and others thinking "total pay-to-win trash." We'd like to see on what side of the spectrum the gaming public -- and by that, we mean you guys -- think of certain F2P games, and so we've invented something new called Love It Or Hate It?
Every week, we'll present a new F2P game and give you the option of passing judgment on it. Then we'll look back at it the next week and see what people thought. There are no prizes, except for the satisfaction of knowing you clicked on a button and made something happen. Really, what else do you need?
Last week, it was Star Trek Online's turn to receive Q-like judgment, and it fared only slightly better than the crew of the Enterprise. I know I taunted Star Wars fans a bit, but STO only garnered a 37.4% "Like" rating while SWTOR managed 38.3%. May your first-born be eaten by a Nausicaan.
Enough of the sci-fi scramble... let's get back to what people really like: MOBAs! And with that, one of the better-liked, or so it seems, MOBAs out there, even if it's not the biggest: Hi-Rez Studios' SMITE!
Tell us what you think of SMITE, and leave a comment below to expound upon your views!

If you're a bit behind the current PC top-tiers, here's a few MMORPGs you can still probably enjoy.
The Egyptian gods of the Sun and the Nile join the battle.
The confirmation comes directly from Marc Merrill.
1) Insulting combat. Damage HAS to be exchanged in mele. There is no tactically going in, playing the cards right getting out untouched if you know your class. In lol, real battles get heated as two characters, experienced, go at it. In this game. HE whoth spammeth the mosteth wineth.
2) OP Classes. Ranged is a joke. Roll dps tank or gtfo. This game is more like PANZAR ONLINE than a moba. And that is toilet bowl level.
3) Useless jungle. No grass to stealth. The invisible walls make it feel cheap and plastic '(Look a tree, ill get close", *gets pushed off a foot away*
4) fail controls. Clunky as poo. To make up fo rbad controls and fail combat nad BORING skills. They add an arena mode... and it is the most useless feature ever. RUnning around like a chicken. Again, emphasis on "ARENA SPAMMER not moba".
. Get on moba level noobs.

Other popular mobas... well... not so much.
The dev team constantly work to add new things (but it's not overdone like in some other MOBA's) the flow of new Gods and reworks seems just fine to me. Overall Smite is great, if you are not playing it you are missing out on what I believe is the best free to play, if not the best game of all time.
Toxic community as ruined pretty much :)!
Also, i really don't enjoy some new features.
