History YMMV / Smite

** Charybdis' reveal trailer. It's meant to be threatening, with Charybdis coming out of a whirlpool and killing a bunch of Greek soldiers before Bellona pulls a BigDamnHeroes to protect one of the survivors. However, considering Charybdis' appearance, the execution ends up being "A young girl with a lot of daggers jumps out of a whirlpool", which can be a bit hard to take seriously.

* CreepyCute: Scylla is portrayed as a young girl, until she activates her ultimate and unleashes some giant dog monsters.

* DemonicSpider: Cupid. He can stun you, slow you and cripple your dashes proceeded by a very long mesmerize. He also can heal himself and dash away from your attempts to kill him. Win or lose, fighting him will probably irk you. The way he looks compared to the other gods certainly doesn't help his case.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Neith, due to the amount of {{Fanservice}} that she offers as well as Bacchus, due to being the most comedic character in the game.
** Mercury has become one for basically having the personality of a male Neith, and just being fun to play as.

* EvilIsSexy: Just look at Hel for the biggest example. While Light Hel wears a fanservicey mink coat that offers AbsoluteCleavage and has her shoulders bare, Dark Hel has all those, combined with more skin-revealing spots, sports FemmeFatalons and lets her long hair down instead of covering it with hood.

* GameBreaker: Release Guan Yu is Smite's [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Release Xin Zhao]]. When he first released he had the durability expected of a tank, more damage than most of the mages, could at least heal you and he could literally reduce his already absurdly low cooldowns to 0 seconds. To top it off most of the current top tiers hadn't been released back then to contest him. To put it in perspective, he was still considered solid after they cut his damage by a third and '''more than doubled''' his cooldowns.

* HilariousInHindsight: Back in ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'', Zeus has a global ultimate that damages everyone in the enemy team. Now he lost it, and post-rework Nu Wa has it.

* MemeticMutation: Whenever a God Reveal on the Youtube channel is released, you will always hear someone saying something along the lines of "Still waiting for Jesus."

* {{Narm}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpHpD-e8MnU The video for Mountain Man Odin]]. It tries to show off the new effects and how badass The Allfather is supposed to be, but it is hard to take it seriously due to how [[NoSell Apollo does not give a crap, smiling as Odin throws all he has at him.]]

* ParanoiaFuel: Fighting against a skilled Loki certainly is this. One of his taunts sums him up well:

* TierInducedScrappy: Ravana is often seen as the worst God in the game, and it's hard to really argue against it. He's somewhat DifficultButAwesome, but... Without the awesome, as so many other characters outdo him in any of his strengths. His ultimate in particular is quite disliked for essentially being a glorified catch-up tool with little offensive power. He did eventually become the focus of a minor rework in which his passive and his ultimate were changed around to be much more generally useful, along with rather heavy buffs all around.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Such Cold Skadi, AKA Doge Skadi. A Skadi skin parodying the Doge meme. Released in ''2017''. A good four years after the meme's apex of popularity. It was ''roundly'' mocked by basically the entire internet.

** This question: should Smite be limited to official Gods or are they allowed to include extremely famous or legendary humans, or some that got involved with myth? This has already been going since the beginning, as Arachne was one of the launch Gods of Smite. Then it expanded to the likes of Guan Yu, Hercules, Fenrir, Medusa... then goes further into Cu Chulainn, King Arthur, Mulan and by 2020, they went and added Cthulhu. Either you're going to be okay with these stretched out additions and think it's awesome to see them fight against official Gods... or you think that Hi-Rez has been running out of ideas.

** [[NoPronunciationGuide He Bo's]] change into "Huh Bwah" has some people enraged that they changed a [[ShownTheirWork lore accurate god]] into something that isn't [[CriticalResearchFailure anything close to the lore]] while others don't really care about lore accuracy and are just glad he looks polished. The irony? Tencent, a Chinese company, ordered the change.
** There's no real reason given for the change, but speculation and hearsay points to issue being taken with him being a [[AmericansHateTingle stereotypically wise old man]], or complaining that he didn't look as badass as the other gods, leading to them breaking the stereotype (and making him lore innacurate as well), making him [[HotterAndSexier younger, with an exposed chest]] and [[WTHCostumingDepartment big spiky hand thingies]].
** Some people didn't take Hercules' remodel well, as Herc went from a [[BoisterousBruiser boisterous]] BarbarianHero who is pretty much a BigFun which was a normal way to portray Herc in many media into...a muscular but armored hero who lost his barbarian features and his beard as well as having a quieter personality. Some likes the change anyway, seeing that it will make more sense for a grief-stricken man who killed his family in a fit of madness and [[TheAtoner his labors are his way of atonement]].

** Serqet's mechanical tail is met with a bit of ire from the community. One of the streamers, [=HiRezBart=], said they had a chitin tail but discarded it because 'only americans like the gross stuff'. Cue riot. There's now a broken base over people who prefer the mechanical tail (since Serqet was never depicted as being half scorpion) and people who prefer the chitin tail for character diversity, and are afraid that new gods are going to look too similar to each other, lacking the unique designs the earlier gods once had.
** Nox's old taunt animation attracted quite a controversy, some thinks it's a normal taunt which just plays off the BigBreastPride for lulz, some thinks it's completely insulting her regal character design because she 'acts like a slut' when there's already another 'designated slut' (Aphrodite). For the record, in the animation she hunches down, touches her breasts and starts manually jiggling them. It's to the point that by Patch 3.17, she's going to get a new animation.

** You either love Fabulous Chiron skin for his CampGay personality or absolutely despises it for the same reason as well as being the only LGBT representation in the game. This is compound by the facts that the game doesn't mention every other god's significant LGBT's theme and stories [[note]]Zeus, Apollo, Achilles, Bacchus/Dionysus, Hercules, Loki, Amaterasu, Horus, Set, Baron Samedi[[/note]].

** [[Characters/SmiteChinesePantheon Chinese Pantheon]]: [[Literature/FengshenYanyi Da Ji, the Nine-Tailed Fox]], was sent by the goddess Nu Wa to teach the Emperor of China, Zhou, a lesson. However, she is revealed to be something worse. After she becomes the Emperor's wife, Da Ji causes havoc and misery across China and [[{{Sadist}} delights]] at her own subjects' [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming scream of pain]]. At one point, she burns a village, [[TortureTechnician tortures several innocent people using her favorite device, Paolao]], and makes her men sing at the rhythm of the screams of her victims. When Zhou's people begin a rebellion, which results in Zhou's suicide, Da Ji escapes unharmed and intends to spread misery while joining the battle of the gods to satiate her lust for pain.

** The laugh emote for Ne Zha, Cupid and Scylla has them laughing childishly, that could be viewed as cute or demonic.

* DemonicSpider: Cupid. He can stun you, slow you and cripple your dashes proceeded by a very long mezmerize. He also can heal himself and dash away from your attempts to kill him. Win or lose, fighting him will probably irk you. The way he looks compared to the other gods certainly doesn't help his case.
** Poseidon boasts the same cripple Cupid has but consistently and constantly with his whirpool which pulls you inward on top of doing heavy damage over time AND making sure your movement skills are disabled. His absurd damage and the fact that he's really hard to catch makes him an infuriating opponent.

** Kumbakharna hits like a wet noodle (if he's built the way he was intended to), but every single one of his attacks has a potent CC effect attached to it. Kumba will rarely ever kill you, but he'll hold you in place for long enough that one or more of his allies will show up to finish you off. Combined with his first ability also doubling as an escape dash and his passive that requires you to hit him six more times after he dies, and you have a very frustrating support to deal with. Kumba is so frustrating to deal with he's considered to be a god-tier support, only behind Baccus, and is usually first-pick in tournament bans.

** If you're playing against bots to try out a new mage then running into the above mentioned Au Puach or Baron Semidi can be prohibitive to your learning experience due to the A.I. being able to easily use them, and Agni is also very annoying with his peaceable gas cloud that the computer will throw down fast enough that you can't get out of before he activates it with another attack and stun you, and his ult, combined with computer reflexes, will have him throwing meteors directly where you're standing the second you get close enough, often with another gas cloud thrown in to stun you again.
** Related to the above, Ne Zha will plague your bot games if you are a mage. Ne Zha himself is not any harder than any other jungler, but they almost neurotically run down the middle rather than jungling forcing the mage to fight two bots in what's supposed to be a single god lane. In addition since he mixes in physical skills and has a combo that stuns you and pulls him close enough to launch his ult, with computer aim to make sure he never misses the first part, he will single-handedly reduce mid-lane to the hardest to the defend of the 3 lanes unless you cheat and have players swap your mage for a tank in midlane [[note]] Such as Jorgunmunder who's immune to his ult and grapple as well as Baron's and Agini's gimmicks [[/note]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Neith, due to the amount of {{Fanservice}} that she offers as well as Baccus, due to being the most comedic character in the game.

** Some Gods only appear in mentions of the lore. The one who the fans want the most to be playable between those are either Hera/Juno or Set.
** The Lore Lady is someone whose identity is unknown and her job is to narrate God Reveals (even if there are hilarious issues at times, like when she did Ratatoskr). However, the way she narrates captured the heart of players so much that many wanted an Announcer Pack featuring the Lore Lady. They get their wish at Odyssey 2016 where her Announcer Pack is one of the prizes available.
** All right, so, you know that Hi-Rez likes to have extra contents or animations to fill in their channels? Well, that's where [[https://www.youtube.com/user/nevercakegames Nevercake]] comes in. Just a particularly pretty good animator and narrator. You see, Nevercake was never part of Hi-Rez. He was just a freelance animator, who has done other types of fan-animations, including rival game ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''. Then he made a series of animation called "Who is (insert Smite God here)" where he told abridged versions of Gods' lores. Nevercake likes to put puns and some good-natured humors, and his suave voice also wins the heart of fans that they want Hi-Rez to either hire him, or make an Announcer Pack for him, just like the Lore Lady. Nevercake is still a freelance animator today, but he still keeps good contact on Hi-Rez and makes other unofficial animations for Smite when there's no Gods to 'chronicle'. But he sure is popular for someone who... never got the invitation cake from Hi-Rez. Until an announcer pack for him was announced for 2017. And Nevercake finally got his well-deserved cake. (''OOOOOAAAAEEEEEE~'')
* EvilIsSexy: Just look at Hel for the biggest example. While Light Hel wears a fanservicey mink coat that offers AbsoluteCleavage and got her shoulder bare, Dark Hel has all those, combined with more skin-revealing spots, sports FemmeFatalons and let her long hair down instead of covering it with hood.
** Izanami, when compared to her more wholesome good 'stepdaughter' Amaterasu. Those loose kimono that shows off her ample bosom and bare shoulders sometimes would make you forget that she's supposed to be a decaying corpse filled with vengeful intents that would rather kill you horribly.

* GeniusBonus: For those knowledgeable in Norse mythology, the Asssault map has so many features from the story of Ragnarok, crammed into a single gamemode. This ranges from the boat, Naglfar seen in the Chaos Fountain to the two demon dogs, Hati and Skoll, devouring the sun and the moon in the sky.

* MemeticLoser: Tyr is supposedly one of the most courageous God in the Norse Pantheon and in-game, it is shown. However, for some reason (or especially his losing animation where he's shown to be scared of Fenrir), during bonus materials, Hi-Rez just ''likes'' to portray him as being frightened of things like the prospect of Fenrir biting off his other hand (as shown in the Ragna-Toskr mini machinima), and the King Ar-Tyr splash art? Him being frightened at his own KillerRabbit prosthetic hand.

** Ymir's emoticon "Hi!" might be normal, until Hi-Rez released a mini-series called 'Smite Machinima' where Ymir does and says absolutely nothing except his "Hi!" once per episode and using his actual voice clip while others use voice acting. Fans always thought that Ymir and his "Hi" is the best and most hilarious part in the series, and now attaches that greetings to Ymir all day long for hilarity.

** Before he was reworked, Guan Yu's Taolu Assault will let out sounds of gongs being hit rapidly. These sounds ends up being called 'Bongos', and Guan Yu has been associated with those terms, such as "Bongos of Death". Even if after the rework wherein he does not produce the sound again, the 'bongos' are sure to be mentioned if someone makes a reference to Guan Yu GameBreaker release state.

** Kaldr is the real god, Skadi is his pet. You see, Kaldr is a very significant part of Skadi's kit, especially in damage potential, so naturally people joke that Skadi's the sideshow by comparison.

** Due to the various Gods and playable semi-divine heroes, players tend to latch some memes originating from the ''Franchise/FateSeries'' into said heroes if they were included. Cu Chulainn? [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Is thought to be wearing blue tight suit]] and [[Anime/CarnivalPhantasm dying a lot ("You bastards!")]]. King Arthur? [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Is thought to be]] [[HistoricalGenderFlip a girl in disguise]]. Merlin? [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Is either expected to give cocks to whoever he pleases and being broken as hell]] ([[DifficultButAwesome Kind of, at least during his launch]]). Gilgamesh? [[CatchPhrase Many are expecting to call everyone he comes across as "Mongrel"]].

* ParanoiaFuel: Fighting against a skilled Loki certainly is this. One of his taunts sums him up damn well

** Cupid is the token 'cute and irritating' character of the game (similar to [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends League's Teemo]]), where the combination of him being a DemonicSpider to those who face him, he has a very unorthodox design of being a chubby cartoonish toddler (yes, it makes sense about the Roman Cupid, but it's still going to irk many player who wished it was the more adult Eros instead...) and of course, very CuteButCacophonic voice. Oh and did we mention that he has A LOT of skins and extra voices? Many ways to grate your ears.
** ''Jing Wei''. Aside of how her gameplay is generally seen as kind of unappealing for an ADC (her ultimate is often considered rather lackluster when it was supposed to be dealing damage), Jing Wei's model is often considered an UncannyValley (especially her model's eyes, it looks quite void of life) and her personality is designed as a bubbly teenager, that alone could irk a lot of player... but even then, the delivery of her voices could come across as DullSurprise most of the time, sometimes deriding her as a '[[PoorMansSubstitute poor man's]] [[GenkiGirl Neith]]' (didn't help that her win animation is similar to Neith, a bubbly dance where the dance music overrode the usual victory music). All in all, the stacks are very against Jing Wei at the moment.

* {{Squick}}: Cupid's lore are about his tale with Psyche, but Cupid here is depicted as a toddler. A toddler with a wife!? Err...

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Or interaction, considering how less-story driven this genre is. You'd think that Medusa has ''something'' to say about Arachne, being fellow unfortunate woman that got turned into monstrosities because of Athena. But no, Medusa has nothing to say about Arachne. Likewise, Skadi did not interact with Freya, her daughter.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Smite usually limits themselves between deities overall. Therefore, it ''really'' broke the players' surprise when they revealed that the 99th and 100th "Gods" turn out to be Myth/KingArthur and [[Myth/{{Merlin}} Merlin the Wizard]], both of them mythological characters/heroes but has no speck of godly essences unlike the likes of Cu Chulainn, Hercules. And eventually topped further in the next year... with [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]].
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Many players assume Ne Zha is a girl upon first appearance. Some still have trouble believing he isn't even after reading about him!
** To elaborate: as a 7 year old boy he has a very high-pitched voice. He wears a lot of pink, which as a shade of red was seen as a manly color even 100 years ago, but is now a girly one. He incorporates a lot of flowers into his imagery, which is universally symbolic in Chinese culture but girly in the West. Finally he has his (long) hair done up in pigtails which was how boys wore their hair at the time, but even people familiar with Chinese culture tend to think of the queue as being the predominant Chinese hairstyle whereas it was only worn by men, not boys, and is actually a Manchu hairstyle introduced (forced upon) the Han Chinese when the Qing dynasty conquered China in 1644 AD; Ne Zha fought to overthrow the Zhou dynasty and would've been born circa 263 BC.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Such Cold Skadi, AKA Doge Skadi. A Skadi skin parodying the Doge meme. Released in ''2017''. A good four years after the memes apex of popularity. It was ''roundly'' mocked by basically the entire internet.

** The Voice Guided System, similar to voice commands found in, say, VideoGame/CounterStrike, though they are more expansive and generally more intuitive (they can also change based on your god and skin, [[RevenueEnhancingDevices if you've bought the voice pack]]). Players are liable to state the keyboard path to a voice command in conversation - for example, complimenting someone with "VER" ([[{{GIFT}} or sarcastically complimenting them]]), which leads to "You rock!"

** Likewise, in Joust, you can make a ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' team featuring Hercules, Medusa and Cu Chulainn. If you want a more 'loose' lookalike team for a 10-player map and based on ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', just add Artemis and Da Ji[[labelnote:*]]While not used for this game, it is implied in the myth that Da Ji later fled to Japan and became Tamamo-no-Mae[[/labelnote]] It gets more hilarious with the announcement of Arthur and Merlin.

** Xbalanque was a terror when he was first released thanks to his passive which gave him increased damage based on how many kills he had. While these days it maxes at five, back before the nerf the stacks were infinite and all it took was a single early-game kill to make Xbal snowball into an unholy force of damage that could 1V5 an entire team without breaking a sweat. Even today Xbal is considered a top pick for ranged ADC due to his absurd damage output and the snowballing he can accomplish with a single overly aggressive push that ends in a kill.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The Brazilian translation\dubbing does its best to translate the jokes, or downright create ones for the local populace (Heavy Metal Thor's[[note]]which in a big case of this, becomes "Detonathor", voiced by Detonator, the singer of local parody metal group Massacration[[/note] taunt to Athena is "This is not ''Anime/SaintSeiya''!"), and it's even better with the two skins regarding the local culture, Carnaval Queen Neith (she sings samba and axé, does Carnaval references, and sibilates in all the "S" like a woman from Rio) and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canga%C3%A7o Cangaceiro]] Namana (as Northeastern as it gets). Even if in 2018 the voice pack stopped being available for download, Brazilian gamers always advice for installing patches and such to keep the game in Portuguese.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Izanami can look like this. She's malevolent, callous, evil. But most of them can be traced from a justified anger of her own husband, who promised her to get her out of the underworld and swearing to not to leave without her... immediately betraying that promise the moment that he saw that she's now ugly and rotting, then for good measure, rolled a boulder just to seal her inside. No wonder she's so pissy.

** This question: Should Smite be limited to official Gods or are they allowed to include extremely famous or legendary humans, or some that got involved with myth? This has already been going since the beginning, as Arachne was one of the launch Gods of Smite. Then it expanded to the likes of Guan Yu, Hercules, Fenrir, Medusa... then goes further into Cu Chulainn, King Arthur, Mulan and by 2020, they went and added Cthulhu. Either you're going to be okay with these stretched out additions and think it's awesome to see them fight against official Gods... or you think that Hi-Rez has been running out of ideas.

** With SMITE on its 99 and 100 god reveals people are broken on if it will or even should be King Arthur and Merlin, this has led to many arguments, one side feel King Arthur and Merlin could fit into Celtic pantheon and despite neither one being a god many have pointed out how some gods are not gods, but another side say that King Arthur and Merlin are not even related to mythology and should not even be considered, the base will most likely break more after the reveal 99 and 100.

** [[Disney/{{Mulan}} Let's get down to business...]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The song from Mulan is pretty popular to accompany Chinese deities, but this gets even more elevated when Mulan herself is announced.[[/labelnote]]

--->'''Light side:''' "Take that, little girl!"
--->'''Dark side:''' "That is a boy you idiot!"

** Loki is by far one of the most hated Gods due to the virtue of his very irritating, sneaky, bursty assassination style that just gives middle finger to nearly everything else on casual/uncoordinated matches, picks off immobile Gods (mostly mages or some hunters) with ease, not to mention his capabilities to split push well and soloing tower. With him being the Trickster God, he gives the image of a {{Troll}} that leeches off from everyone's suffering. Many videos have used Loki as the example of God used by toxic players, and lots of players, especially in Reddit, come up with derisive nicknames to express how much Loki irritated them, ranging in gamut from tame ones to something like [[PrecisionFStrike "Fuck]] [[https://i.redditmedia.com/T9BCpnj9vH8vi2XU9PwHNHXidYIb17dh9Od9mPOL2TA.png?w=1024&s=77298e5539322852bff00f32cab05313 You".]]

** The continued remodels of less humanoid gods. To whit, Nu Wa had her snake form de-emphasized, Bakasura was made more humanoid in shape, and now Ao Kuang is only a dragon when he uses his ultimate. The fact that his was (allegedly) to please Asian players has just frustrated English speaking players even more.

** The reveal of Amaterasu as the first member of the Japanese Pantheon has led to some fanbase backlash even before her official release, with some complaining that she seems overpowered (chiefly because she has Old Guan Yu's ultimate, deemed as one of the most overpowered ultimate in the game's history), and a minority complaining about the Japanese Pantheon even being in SMITE to begin with.

* AmericansHateTingle: Many Hindu leaders criticized this game for the depiction of the Hindu gods. The CEO of High-Rez, Todd Harris, responded that Hindu gods have [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation different physical interpretations as well as with all other gods in different mythologies and cultures]]. Thus being said, that doesn't stop the said Hindus from joining up with other religious leaders from condemning the game altogether. You can read more about it [[http://www.rtsguru.com/game/451/article/3378/Hindu-Leaders-Unhappy-With-Smite-Hi-Rez-Responds.html here]] and [[http://www.rtsguru.com/game/451/article/3419/Controversy-Over-Hindu-Gods-in-Smite-Not-Over.html here]]
** While Hi-Rez refused to cave in to pressure to remove the existing Hindu gods from the game altogether, they've completely given up on releasing any more Hindu gods as none have been added to the game since Bakasura (July 2012). This meant that for a while, despite being one of the original pantheons in the game, it was now tied for having the least representatives in the game (four) with the Mayan Pantheon. However, since 2014, Hi-Rez decided to release more Hindu characters, starting with Kumbhakarna.
** This has over time lessened because as it turns out, Hi-Rez also received a lot more Hindu enthusiasts that wanted more Hindu deities than those who call them out, and the VocalMinority that complained about the Hindi gods' presence, was, in fact, composed of a single person whose threats that he knew important people in Hindu society were completely empty. In fact, after Janus, they released one of Hindu's most revered heroes, Rama, and in April 2017, one of the still-worshipped deities in Hindu, Ganesha.

*** And even moreso after the announcement of ''Warriors Orochi 4'' confirms that Zeus himself would be part of the roster and would bring some of the Gods from Olympus with him in that game. He did bring two: Athena and Ares. But surprisingly, Odin also joins in the fray. [[spoiler:Loki as well.]] And by ''Ultimate'', they're also joined by Erlang Shen (Yang Jian being his alternative name).

* MostAnnoyingSound: The VGS is often abused by particularly salty players, who likes to spam the voiceline "Good Game!" if the game goes south, even just a little (like getting first blooded), or spamming "You Rock!" when they see someone else die. When that happens, it becomes the trope and it might be the cue to mute those guys.
** When Erlang Shen went idle in the God selection screen, there is a chance that he will roar and then chuckle a bit for startling you. Those two things gets a little annoying according to some.
** Ullr when changing stance will let out a BadassBoast, and both allies and enemies will hear him saying those. Seems okay, except Ullr's play style require him to change stances a lot, this can make his BadassBoast get repeated ad nauseum that you might think that he should shut up once in awhile, since not every Gods speak loudly when changing stances a lot (such as Hel or Tyr)
** Cernunnos does loud grunts of exertion...''every single time he autoattacks'' (though thankfully if he's attacking ''that'' fast, he won't grunt again to overplay the last). Needless to say, he's probably going to be the loudest character in the game at any given time while he's attacking. Thankfully, they decreased the percentage chance that Cernunnos will make a sound while firing his basic attacks on [[https://www.smitegame.com/news/mid-season-update-notes patch 6.8]].
