Smite always has a place in my heart. I've been playing now for nearly 1 month and hav yet to get tired of it. Yes, there will be times that the meta gets royally screwed up and it gets difficult to enjoy, but it almost always fixes itself. From events, to comp, to quests, to so many different Gods to chose from, I love this game so very much. You will always have something to do and have fun doing it. Even if you get completely demolished in a game you get this urge to just get better and better. The depht of customization is amazing. Dynamic skins, voice packs, announcer packs, emotes, global emotes, recall skins, laoding card borders, it's all a lot. Hi-Rez has been supporting this game since beta and it doesn't look like they'll be stopping anytime soon with a new patch coming out every 2 weeks. However...Smite isn't without it's flaws.

Matchmaking can get rather annoying. I personally rarely did comp, but when I did my team was always unbalanced to a degree. I wouldn't recommend comp unless you're playing with at least 2 other people. Even in casual you'll sometimes get a team of randoms against a six stack. There are some items and Gods that are very clearly broken that might take a while to get fixed (I'm looking at you thorns >.>). Before, exclusive and limited skins were much more rare than they are now and were meant for very special skins. But now with the inclusion of Adventures more than half the skins coming out now are exclusive. The number of limited skins, the almighty rarest of the rares, have gone up a lot lately as well. They'll encourage you to spend all this money for new these exclusive skins that very easily could have been able for open purchase. It gets annoying when your favorite God gets a skin that is stuck behind a pay wall or in a chest. But, these are cosmetics so I can't get that mad at this.

I've taken plenty of breaks from Smite but always find myself coming back. It's just all around fun, with or without friends (though it's twice as fine with friends with mics). Including the time I've played the game before it came to Steam, my time played is more around 100 hours. And honestly? Heres to 1,000 more. Smite has some obvious flaws that get bigger from time to time, but it doesn't fail in providing a good amount of fun that you'll be wanting to come back for. Aside from some balancing issues and hiding some skins behind events and chests I have no major complaints. Not a MOBA for everyone, but for sure a MOBA for me.
