   Feats for Smite?

   If Smite and DotA are anything like League of Legends (and I consistently hear they are) feats aren’t going to be very easy to come by.

   Smite is a MOBA yes but instead of creating original characters they use real-world mythology instead.
   –
   Example playable characters in Smite are Thor, Odin, Fenrir, Hun Batz, Agni, Vanama, Zeus, Hades, Au kuang, Nu-Wa, Chaac, Kukulkan and many more of such Gods.
   To put it simply, everything in Smite is a God from a mythology or an Asian patron of Gods.

   Any smite players know the lore set for any characters? Is the lore unique to the game or pulled 100% from real life?

   “Is the lore unique to the game or pulled 100% from real life?”
   –
   I don’t think we can or should use real life feats.
   The characters are heavily inspired by real life gods, but they are still from their own unique fiction.

   –
   Actually every character has a paragraph or two of back story, which almost always contains feats.
   –
   I can’t speak for Dota.

   This guy’s a mountain buster (scroll down to Lore)

   Oh boy this will be hard to settle. The whole separating game mechanics from lore issue. For example that Smite mountain buster, does the fact that other Gods can withstand his attacks IN GAME mean all gods have mountain level durability? Or is that just game mechanics?
   –
   DotA has similar issues. Some DotA heroes have some very vague lore descriptions that make them anything from embodiments of elder gods to just trained humans.
   –
   Btw it’s DotA 1 and not DotA 2 right? The lore between them is different. Nerubian Weaver comes to mind right away.

   “does the fact that other Gods can withstand his attacks IN GAME mean all gods have mountain level durability? Or is that just game mechanics?”
   –
   Pretty much anything we see in game is a game mechanic.
   –
   “Some DotA heroes have some very vague lore descriptions that make them anything from embodiments of elder gods to just trained humans.”
   –
   Well we’d need to find feats of what those “embodiments of elder gods” can do.
   Otherwise the title is irrelevant.
   –
   “Btw it’s DotA 1 and not DotA 2 right? The lore between them is different. Nerubian Weaver comes to mind right away.”
   –
   I THINK we use current incarnations… Which would be 2…
   Since they’re both under the same developers right?
