Hi guys , my name is Roland (IGN:orchero). My main god is jungle. I decided to make this because he has a huge mid-late game potential, has a nice skill kit and he is also fun to play! I really hated him till i tried to play early defensive then i saw how usefull he can be in mid-late game. His presence on map is big because of his but we will discuss this at his pro and cons chapter. Hope you'll play him after reading this guide!
There are none without admiration for Apollo, God of Music. He is brash, cavalier, and dauntless, with the power to bring hope to the hopeless and change the course of battle with a single arrow. Voices of soldiers, mothers, kings and emperors, even Gods rise in glorious melody in honor of him; and he, basking in their adoration, shines victoriously.
Though Hera, Queen of Gods, challenged his very birth, sending the great serpent Pylos to slay Apollo, his twin sister Artemis, and their mother Leto, not even she could deny him victory. Merely four days old, Apollo, gifted with a legendary bow, slew the Gaia Serpent and defied Hera.
In his humble youth, Apollo was a cattle herder. The trickster God Hermes stole Apollo's charges and led them to a nearby cave. From the shell of a tortoise and the body of a cow, he crafted the first Lyre. Apollo finally caught up with Hermes, saw the instrument, and simply had to have it, trading the rest of his cattle to Hermes for it. Years later, Hermes would send his son, Pan, to challenge Apollo in a contest of musical prowess, but Apollo soundly defeated the satyr with dexterous mastery of the Lyre.
As Apollo grew into his rightful place among the Gods, his victories mounted, and the songs of the Faithful were sung more and more in his name. Now, they raise their voices for Apollo to take the field as Gods clash. Never one to deny his adoring public, Apollo prepares for one last show.

As try to stay in the backline with mage, PEW-PEW everyone who is trying to reach you and your teammates and keep your focus good as much as possbile.

Give more space between the god match-ups - just press enter. Likewise about the items. The skill combos have a little issue. There's a misplaced '/' and a broken column.
Actually, looking back, it's not as bad.
Done , thank you sir for your oppinion
Actually, looking back, it's not as bad.
The build is actually not bad. Maybe consider Titan's Bane, but overall, it's a good build. The situational items are... off. As a Hunter, you'd Void Shield doesn't really suit your playstyle, even if you are playing against five Assassins. Likewise about Runic Shield. Their price isn't worth it.
Item explanations are okay.
The skill order is fine, nothing much to say about it.
All you did in the skill section is copy the description of the ability, rather than actually explaining what is the role of the ability and how you should use it and tips for it etc. The skill combos are fine.
You lack gameplay. Severely. What is Apollo's role in team fights? How about what he does best - split pushing? About his ability to initiate with his mez etc.
The BBCoing on this guide is... meh. Don't get me wrong, you actually have BBCoding, but you did it in an unaesthetic way and it's too obstructive and clumsy. You should also credit the people who made the templates, not only TormentedTurnip.
He also has a guide to guidecrafting. Here's the link: https://www.smitefire.com/smite/guide/guideception-a-guide-to-guidecrafting-4031
A downvote from me. I hope I helped you and that you don't get discouraged.
Thank you for your constructive opinion , a video of Apollo gameplay incoming . But i dont get the unaesthetic way of BB coding.
