The Gods' roles in the team | Game modes - maps Smite Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Each of the players will have a particular job to do for the team to work well. That is why Gods in SMITE are divided into categories - due to their function in the game. It is good to get to know these information in order to fit into the game.
ADC (Attack Damage Carry)
The main aim of those figures is to eliminate fixe target - usually the most dangerous ones, who might be a threat to your allies. Usually ADC enlarge their strength by buying items which give the physical damage bonuses. They attack from a distance, therefore the always need to be careful about their positioning, no to get into the enemy's main line of fire. It is not an easy task, because the fate of the team depends on your success. ADC focus on a good farm and killing, because they need a lot of gold to get equipment. ADC, usually, gets help from the Support. Sometimes it can be hard to get set up with another player, but it is essential for getting a good result.
Solo laner
This term relates to the heroes who can keep the whole line by themselves. Those figures get higher levels faster than others because they don't have to share the experience with anyone else. The main aim of the solo laner is to destroy the hostile minions, which will enable you to attack the enemy's towers, and not to let the enemy get to your defensive buildings. If you play such a responsible role in the game it is good to invest in hardiness and survival.
Support
You can be a Support in many ways. Firstly, you can focus on accompanying your ally (most often ADC) and helping him/her by healing or restricting the enemy's control over movements. Secondly, you can turn into real armored "tin" and get straight in the middle of your enemy's ranks, in order to focus the enemy's attention on yourself, and to let your team destroy the enemies.
Mid laner
Mid laner play a similar role to the solo laner, but he/she has more duties. Firstly, you need to take care of what is going on in you line. Your priority is the Last Hitting, in order to get as much gold as possible - you can use the nearby camps from the jungle. The next very important thing is to push the line to get the towers. What is more you need to help your allies on other lanes. If it is possible you should get to the top or bottom lane and try to gank the enemy. Pushing and pressing your enemy is an important part of the strategy! Simply because on the mid it is very important to quickly deal with the minions, the best God to do that are Magi. Thanks to their skills AoE can quickly deal with the neutral enemies, and they make a huge damage to the hostile heroes.
Jungler
Junglers are Gods who are the best on the neutral ground - in the jungle. It is a very dynamic role, as you need to be very active in helping your allies in getting the advantage over your enemies. Junglers farm the neutral camps, so that their allies can use the benefits of different buffs. What is more they take care of the vision on the map and they try to push the enemy into the defensive by enlarging the preponderance on particular lanes. Whether you warn your ally on time or not, depends on the clarity of the map, so it is good to check on the mini map and situation. Putting Wards in the crucial places on the map will enlarge your efficiency. Your main goal is to help your allies getting the kills. But remember, in the later phase of the game the team will get more help from a mid laner with a good farm or ADC than from the jungler. The best junglers are assassins.
