Yo guys!
I'll introduce myself, I'm Michele from Italy, i love online multiplayer games in the RPG style, and i play almost only this kind of games now.
I'm a really busy guy, i work from 55 to 70 hours a week, and i like to spend my free time on my pc, my friends, and sometimes with random girls (i'd like this last more often...)
I downloaded Smite a week ago, a friend of mine told me how awesome the game is, so i tried it, and now i'm addicted!
I never played MOBAs before, i come from a competitive scene in Guild Wars 2 in the last 2 years where i was playin in the top 500 of the leaderboards, and that game is way faster and more complicated than this one, so i understood fast how to move, dodge and kite enemies in Smite (still a noob of course).
I did almost only Joust now, i tried some Arenas, Conquest and Siege too, but i enjoied a more simple and strait forward game mode to learn the basics.
Right now i'm at level 11, i mastered Neith and Ymir, almost mastered Guan Yu, but i spent my favors to buy Loki, and i'm in love with that ninja playstyle!
I would like to ask something about the basiscs of the game:
1. I'm finding hard to understand the roles, i saw some basic guides but still dont really understand Solo/Duo, jungling etc, do you guys have some awesome guide for newbs?
2. As Loki, what am i supposed to do in counquest and siege? What about the buffs?
3. Where can i find some simple maths for stats, gold, exp and buffs, so that i can understand what they really do and how can i level up faster?
4. Can anyone add me as friend in game ( name is Rospoho) and adopt me as a player?
Thanks a lot for the attention!!!!!!

first welcome and enjoy your stay

part of this should be in mentoring thread. But I could take you under my wing for some stuff.

1.I don't know which guides you saw but these 2 should help out really well

and here I will give a short (and as correct as I can do) explanation of the roles

ADC:
this role is more a late game role because adc starts dishing out a lot of damage in late game. In the beginning they go with a support too duo to farm and trying to get some kills on the other support or adc (Prefer to kill the adc because then their behind). This is the role of getting powerfull quick (by last hitting)

Support:
As the name says he is a support this is mostly a tank but you have some healers as support too. their job is too defend their adc. and in teamfight they try to get focuss on them instead of the squishies in the back. they have a lot of CC

Mid:
well the mid lane is most of the time a pusher mage. they are constantly trying too ill the wave of minions asap. they also help securing the mid camps. and when possible (when lane is pushed) rotate too help another lane.

solo:
solo is more about sustain. It is your job too keep your tower alive and try too finish their tower (after their first is destroyed you gain roam possibility). this lane is mostly played by warriors and certain mages.

jungle:
the jungle helps out his team by dropping buffs and ganking (and farming for himself) this role is constantly rotating actually.

2. I'm not a expert. but in conquest you can either go solo, mid or jungle. where jungle is the most picked for him (but he is a viable solo too) for what too do as role is in the 2 guides. I can't help you well with jungling though (I'm more of an adc/mid/solo player. that are the roles I fullfill well)

3. IDK how this system works someone else maybe well

4. I can but which server are you on?
