Hello divine beings! The Olympian Games will be starting soon, with the winners of our two prior contests leading the teams. If you want to participate, please say so in the comments below.

The games will play out as follows: Two teams will work on creating a set of 5 new Smite God Concepts, one for each role. All of the characters chosen must be of the same pantheon, and cannot be from a pre-existing pantheon in the game (Yoruba, Voodoo, Babylonian, Great Old One, and Slavic pantheons can be chosen as their representation in Smite is already rather limited).

The 5 characters you create will be judged individually and as a whole. By themselves they will be judged for the following:

• Overall Design (There should be synergy between the passive, abilities, attacks, and stats)
• Balance (Is the damage in-line with existing characters? If the character was released today, how would it do?)
• Individuality (Although they'll be in a set, each character should feel unique. How similar is this character to others of its class? How would the character feel being played?)
• Readability (How easy is the character to understand? Is everything formatted correctly?)
• Miscellaneous (this includes the addition of taunts, skins, voice lines, and any additional details)

As a collection, the team will also be judged as a team:

• Pantheon Pride (Can you tell which pantheon you chose just by reading the abilities and descriptions of the characters? What elements did you include across the board?)
• Team Synergy (Having every character have a knock-up might be annoying, but why not include characters that gain benefits when their enemy is airborne? Or when they hit the ground?)
• Group Participation (Who created which elements of each character? Was everyone involved/included in the process?)

​

Teams will be announced on Friday, April 15th. The winning team leader will also have the privilege of helping judge future contests. Similar contests will be peppered into our schedule in the future to insure a diverse and fair panel of judges for future contests.
