Hit Those Tutorials
The moment you load Smite, you’re greeted with the option to take part in a short tutorial. Now, being an experienced gamer, you may feel that playing a tutorial is a little below you. It’s okay, many of us feel this way. That being said, Smite is a different kettle of fish altogether. The game uses familiar mechanics in ways which may be wholly unfamiliar to many players. This means only one thing. If you’re starting Smite, start looking into those tutorials.
They aren’t like the typical tutorials you see in other titles. There’s no push B to crouch or click the left stick in to sprint like many other tutorials have. Smite offers an insight into both the mechanics and its meta game. They teach you what a Guardian should do and where a Hunter should go. They let you know what to be mindful of. They even take the time to inform you of the triggers you’ll have to look out for in each of Smite‘s game modes. As far as a starting grid goes, these almost guarantee to put you into pole position and get you started on the path to greatness.
Something else finds its way into these lessons that really makes them worth your time; they offer you the opportunity to play as any character role you’d like. You can dive into any of them as whichever character you so choose and get a quick lesson as to your role. This is incredibly important as it’ll ensure that when you play with other players, you aren’t the target of ridicule simply because you don’t know what an Assassin is supposed to do. They’re actually a pretty good indicator of what you can expect to be doing on whichever role you choose, so choose to do them. It only takes 10 minutes or so to take part in each and it’ll teach you more than pretty much anything else can.
Speaking of good indicators…
