Game 1 SMITE  

In this blog I am going to talk about MOBAs. A MOBA is Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (ARTS), originated as a subgenre of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre of video games, in which a player controls a single character in one of two teams.

The three games I am going to talk about are

SMITE (New MOBA 2014)

League of Legends (Mid MOBA 2009)

Ace of Arenas

Smite is a third-person multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Hi-Rez Studios for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In Smite, players control a god, goddess, or other mythological figure and take part in team based combat, using abilities and tactics against other player-controlled gods and non-player-controlled minions. The game has multiple PvP modes, many playable characters, and has a successful e-sports scene with multiple tournaments.

Game Modes in Smite

Smite features many different game modes, with the largest being Conquest. Players are formed into two teams, with five players to each team. All players begin at opposite sides of a map at their team's 'fountain'. Before the players enter the map, they are granted an amount of gold (usually 1,500 it varies depending on mode) to buy starting items. These items grant special bonuses or abilities that enhance the player's god. There are three continuous 'lanes' running from one side of the map to the other. Each lane is defended by a 'Phoenix' which is accompanied by a pair of extra defensive towers. Phoenixes and towers deal a large amount of damage to any enemies that come too close. The goal of each game is to destroy the opposing team's Phoenixes and the Titan, a giant warrior who must be defeated to win the game. The players are accompanied by 'minions', small soldiers with a weak attack; these minions spawn at the Phoenixes every thirty seconds and run along their lane until they meet opposition and attack immediately. Minions will attack not only players and other minions but also towers, Phoenixes and the Titan; in fact, their presence is required for players to deal full damage to these objectives. Defensive positions will prioritize enemy minions over players, allowing players to attack a tower without receiving damage; however, towers will fire upon players if there are no minions nearby or the player attacks an enemy player under their tower.

 Characters of SMITE

Currently players can choose between 81 gods and immortals from eight different pantheons: Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Japanese, Mayan, Norse and Roman. Two players on the same team cannot choose the same god although they are free to choose gods from the same or different pantheons. With the design aspect, they look into the lore of the gods or goddess and base the appearance on the lore

Mechanics

The player controls the god in a third person perspective, which is a unique characteristic of this multiplayer online battle arena game, as other games of this genre are typically played from a top-down perspective. Each god has a basic attack and four abilities with varying effects depending on the god such as area of effect damage, crowd control, buffs and many more. These spells are acquired and upgraded when a player's god levels up by gaining experience from being in range of minions when they are killed, taking down towers or phoenixes and killing enemy players.

Game 2 League of Legends

League of Legends (abbreviated LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows and OS X. The game follows a freemium model and is supported by micro transactions, and was inspired by the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne mod, Defense of the Ancients.

Gameplay

In League of Legends, players are called "summoners" that controls a "champion" with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. Summoners rift is the most know mode in League and it has 3 lanes with 2 jungles and towers on each lane. The main goal to win is to destroy the opposing team's "nexus", a structure which is in the enemies base that is  protected by defensive structures. Each League of Legends match starts off slow, with all champions starting off fairly weak but increasing in strength by gaining itemsand experience over the course of the game.

 Game 3 Ace of Arenas

An innovative mobile action MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), Ace of Arenas is a free to play PVP game that brings all the fun of core gaming to handheld devices. Although it is the smaller of the 3 games it is actually good surprisingly for a mobile game. However, it’s large size takes up a lot of memory on your device. The game is a copy paste league of legends to be honest with map similarities to league
