Which is better: Paladin or Smite?

I haven't tried Smite but it look good too. Anyone can give their opinion? Thanks!

It seems like it'd be hard to compare the two. Sure they're made by the same company, but they're different genres. Paladins is more of a team-oriented FPS from what I understand, in the group with Overwatch, Battleborn, etc. Smite's more of a MOBA with a 3rd-person action-oriented twist.

I haven't played Paladins yet, but I've heard a lot of good things from it. Smite, however, I've put hundreds of hours into. 851 hours into it on Steam alone, played more before it was on Steam. No signs of slowing down anytime soon either. It's a great game with a more than fair pricing model, you don't have to pay a dime to be on a level playing field, and they're pretty generous with giveaways and free cosmetic opportunities. You can get all gods for free if you're willing to put the time into it, and logging in each day will give you free favor and gems to help buy gods and skins. You can also buy the Ultimate God Pack for $30 (goes on sale sometimes) to instantly unlock all current and future gods. It's also well-optimized, good graphics, and fine to queue solo (although much better if you have friends to play with, it's a team game after all).

I'd say the main problem I have with the game is the servers. It's really not as bad as some people will have you believe, but the servers are down more often than a game of this size and popularity should be.

Another thing to note which may or may not be a downside for you, is I'm assuming it's more of a learning curve than Paladins. Don't know if you've played MOBAs before, but they're all like that. It takes time to get the feel for how each role plays, learning how to play (and play against) the 80-some gods, and learning all of the items and how to build for each god type. If you give it a try, I'd highly recommend watching fairly recent tutorial videos and checking out some build/play guides. SmiteGuru and SmiteFire are good sites to get the jist of whichever gods you want to try.

Wouldn't hurt to try it out either way, can't beat free! I play LoL, HotS, and Smite, but this one stands out from the rest because of the 3rd-person view. It's all about the skillshots, and it makes for some fast-paced matches that are so satisfying when you get the hang of things :)

Just Test it Yourself both Games are Free2Play.

Stick with Smite, Paladins has a crappy community now of people not even playing the tutorial and juming into games.

Paragon is better than all of them. Made by Epic games. They did a major overhaul recently and it's much better than it used to be. It's also free.

[Mad]

I like Paladin it's quite fun.

The community is fine and there are casual and competitive play. You need to gain some experience before you can jump into competitive so it's perfectly fine as it is.

Stay away!

Both are fun games with fun mechanics.

As a lover of Paragon and playing it for so long. I'd have to personally disagree with you there, Epic needs to fix some more bugs before it's mechanics are as good as SMITE's. Can't compare heroes since SMITE obviously has more.

Paladins - For people who like games like TF2 or Overwatch. (I really hate those.) I would bang Alyssa though.
Smite - for people who are tired of classic RTS MOBA look(DotA, LoL, HotS...)

Paladins came out a good bit before overwatch, and honestly I'm sad that paladins is trying to copy some of the features of overwatch (Play of the game, ect)

But in reality? Paladins is less random and more skill based than overwatch. You don't have carry gods and useless wimps for characters. Every character can do what they do and do it well.

Smite is a traditional moba with lanes, minions, level farming, item purchasing and requires a good group of people to really coordinate with. Otherwise you get trash like AFKers and feeders who are salty because they didn't get their one character.

(Looking at you, you trash weeabo Sussannoooope mains.)

But really, both of them are great games hampered by crappy people. You've always got that one little useless waste of air who's tower diving and "jajajajaja"ing, or that person who tries to "Challenge the meta" by building all defense items on mages.

...actually, now that I think about it, don't play smite. Run. Save yourself. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES I'VE MADE. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO END THAT WAY FOR YOU! D:

Smite is a moba, Paladins is like overwatch. They are like a battle moba, idk the term for them. It's like comparing apples to fruitcakes. They are similar but still very different
