Is there even... a fat female character in ANY MOBA at all?

Assuming being thin has always been what makes someone attractive. In medieval times (and possibly before) being fat was considered beautiful. Just look at all the paintings from that era. Being fat meant you were healthy and rich. Likewise men with huge forehead were considered beautiful because they appeared more intelligent and being pale was more attractive than being (sun)tanned, because being tanned meant you worked in the sun as a lowly fieldworker/commoner. The standards of what we find attractive is not constant and set in stone. Although I have no idea what the terms of being attractive were BC, it's possible there are gods from era's where being fat attractive.

But OT: most gods are in fact portrayed as thin, not fat. And the gods in Smite simply represent that.

Mostly agree. The idea of fat being rich since you didn't have to do anything was mostly a Mediterranean-European phenomenon, mostly represented in the Roman and Greek empires. That was, in general, a case only for the males, however, as consorts depicted in paintings were still always shown as fit and curvy (skinny WAS ugly, but so was fat, for women. If Apollo was a woman with that frame, he'd be considered ugly.)
And yeah, there ARE gods from eras where fat was attractive, but most gods themselves weren't depicted as such, and the ones that are aren't very widely known. But I'll happily accept one that's done well.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
