Try to get to play your best god (don't play gods you don't normally play in ranked it just makes people rage at you). If you are tank/support ward the 2 jungle entrances to your lane at around 9-10 minute mark.After the first few towers go down stick to your team there are bound to be teamfights happening... I really don't know what to say more beside after about 20mins into the game you should ward GF and FG if it's not warded and it doesn't matter even if you are not support/tank.

I tend to ward GF/FG like 8 min in at the latest just to spot mid ganks as support.

But, I'm not exactly professional, all I can say is good ward placement without getting into a realm I don't know much about. As a carry don't ward too much, but a lot of people are under the impression that carries should never ward, which is untrue...

Other than that, I don't know what to say. If playing support stick to helping teamfights not really farming as much, I suppose.

It's no secret I play LoL.

There are two rules I do to always get a respectable score in ranked games.
1. Challenge myself to get no deaths
While it nearly is impossible to achieve this, if you do try your best to, you'll generally find yourself ending up with less than 5 deaths. Generally, if there is a risky route and a safe route, take the safe route. This will decrease you deaths and increase your KDR.
2. Your opponent always knows something you don't.
Say you are against a Hercules mid. At first sight, you may just laugh and think he's stupid. However, what you may not know is that he maxes Mitigate Wounds first to counter the burst from most mids. Say your enemy, an Odin, who is 2 levels lower, suddenly plays aggressive and you go and fight to pick up an easy kill. What you may not know is the Loki coming from right lane is coming up behind you for a gank. Never underestimate the intelligence of your opponent, as they know more about what they're doing than you do. While I couldn't find a video of this, I remember a LoL player named HotShotGG would always know when an Evelyn, which for those who don't know, used to have a 50 second stealth, would gank. He did this because he saw random acts of aggression being targeted towards him.

The funny thing about number two is that I was fighting Artemis (with Neith) and Hades joined her. I was able to kill artemis, but I was ganked by Poseidon I ran to the jungle and go mid (I was ganking right that time) I turned around and see Poseidon, I killed him. Suddenly, Hades came back and ganked me, but surprisingly I killed him. LOL

I checked the profile of them in Internet and found them only below level 15 or above a little ( I am. 22) I think Smite matchmaking is bad, i was also fighting enemy of level 30 before and got dominated :( they need to fix this

Matchmaking is always difficult to balance out..

On one hand you don't want to have queue times ridiculously high, it's better to be playing against better players (I think) because you have to step your game up and get better.
On the other side you want it to be balances so you're playing players of your own level so you're not just getting destroyed by superior practices enemies. This will teach you to play better though because your skills will improve faster though.

Old hotshotgg started League of Legends e-sports, and possibly e-sports in general. He's a legend in the e-sports scene, but not so much now. He's considered to be not that great of a player anymore, well, not with the Koreans around.

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.
