Hello,
Name is CanisPanther and I'm familiar with MOBAs, just new to SMITE. I just got enough to get my first God and wanted some help picking. In LoL, my mains were Moakai, Rumble, MANtheon, Anubis, Urgot, Kayle, and Heimerdinger if that helps at all. I prefer to be a tank and/or bruiser so I'd like a fairly flexible God in that regard. I have no qualm whether duo, solo, or if I have to learn to jungle. I just want a God I can really invest in and fill a couple spots with. Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you for taking the time.

for a multiple role god I would suggest one of the warrior's. because they can solo support or jungle (not all).

otherwise I would take a mage. depending on which mage you can go solo mid or support

assassins are mostly jungle but some can be played mid very well or adc

gaurdian is not the lowest because you got hades and some others here hades is really good as glass canon mage in solo or mid. some other warrior's like ymir can be really good jungles

hunter is last because they mostly are adc. they can play jungle but then you need to have one with a good clear early game. some can also be good on mid or solo but I won't recommend it.

Herc just comes to mind for me.

He is a top tier solo, and a decent jungle and support.

And he is Hercules! Hercules!
That's as far from a scrawny little ADC you can get ;)

Jungle & Support main.

Casually tryharding ranked now and again.

Chaac's still a good choice too, i think, and his skill floor is (probably) lower than herc.

If you want to go mage, Ao Kuang is the way to go. You can probably check out Hades as well.

chaac is more difficult to play IMO (trust me I play a lot of Chaac). he has some small things where you need to care about (e.g. don't 2 when you want to hit people around you when your axe is somewhere else. or always have your 1 out (and close enough) when you ult.)

maybe the skill floor is low but the ceiling is pretty high and it's easy to screw things up with him (I don't use autcast on him because you will be screwt easier)

herc has less risk and I think his skill floor is on the same place mostly or maybe a little bit under or above. But you can't screw thing so much up with herc as with chaac (no skill before ult or skill that can screw up when another 1 is out etc)

Like others said I think Hercules or Chaac are both a good first pick. I do think Chaac is a easier first god simply because his abilities are easier to land than Herc's (they're aren't all that hard either but some people have a problem with his 2). Also Chaac is a strong and safe pick for the roles he can cover. The only slightly difficult thing with Chaac is to keep track of where your Thunder Strike is at all times. You don't want to accidentally teleport to a unfavorable location.
My main gods:
Ymir
Sun Wukong
Sobek
Ra
Vamana
Anhur
Anubis

which would mostly be solo (and jungle)

he can support but with the slow he only has his ult as cc. herc is better on support because he has a pull and a knockback on shorter cooldown.

Looks like Herc of Chaac. I will roll the dice on which one to buy first. Thank you for the quick input and avenues of thought. I'll check back in in a week or so and let you know how it's going and/or if I have any questions. Thanks once again.

I've been browsing builds and guides and noticed Vulcan (Dinger), and Freya (Kayle). So many options, I better start grinding.

I swear to god :| .... I hate people who just compare them . Please stop , it's like saying that (for example as you said)- Vulcan is a copy of Heimerdinger and Freya a copy of Kayle. Or Anubis a copy of Nasus. Well they're not. It's mythology. I don't know if this annoys other persons but it sure annoys me.
Be the best and **** the rest !

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.
