Make sure you call middle lane first in the lobby - that's the key to destroying everything. To start the game buy meditation and Hotg, the rest of the game is Ez-mode.
Start the game by going to the protection yellow buff on your side. When match starts pop hand of the god and use an ability then auto attack to down buff camp. Then return to lane and farm. Just remember that before your buff runs out, to go and grab their yellow buff too.
The passive on HOTG now allows you to auto attack minions and gain 10 health per attack (probably better than having health regen buff too), so if you need health and your heal is on cooldown (if you have one) and you dont want to waste a pot, just hit some minions...stupid huh? ya i agree. This allows almost anyone to mid, and you more commonly see vamana, and bakasura in the middle because anyone can do this stupid trick.
The middle is currently a battle for the protection buff. The yellow buff is crazy op it gives +50 magic and physical resistance - no other buff even comes close to that. It's like having fire giant buff all game.
Plus with meditation now you have an unlimited supply of mana. YOU NEVER HAVE TO RECALL. You farm minions to restore your health and when you need mana use meditation, It does help to have a healer, like hel, I used Ra in the video I posted, but I've done it with hel - and its probably easier with her because her heal is instant rather than HoT, and it's uch easier to land her abilities. You simply farm, push towers, killing your opposing middle at will and return whenever you feel like it. If you get ganked, swallow a health pot, use you heal (if you have one), hit minions and run to tower. With your protections you will most likeley get away. It does help to get reinforced boots first because even with the yellow buff if you get stunned you'll still be in deep doodoo
I shouldn't even be sharing the information - even though it's posted on the Hi-rez forums, I just hope enough people make a stink about it so it gets changed. Being a great mid used to require a god who could push well and take skill. Now it's incredibly simple, as long as your opponent doesn't know this trick. Mids advantage over the side lanes is also even more, because in addition to farming solo, you are taking jungle camps as well.
I realize this isn't technically a cheat or an exploit. I just hope it isn't the direction Hi-Rez was intending on going with Smite, because it allows no variation. I tried playing others who played this way using my traditional build, but they simply have too much of an advantage.

Vamana is the best mid right now because of his passive stacking with yellow buff.
If you dont take HoG and you dont get Yellow you lose your lane. Plain and simple every single time. It turns into, who has yellow buff gets the kill.
Lanes are ewually terrible right now as your mages need medy and tanks take aegis. Then you all grab sprint because it is so incredibly OP right now. You win your lane early, get side buffs and green/blue again and suddenly you are up 2-3 levels on the enmy and being able to zone them perfectly way to easy. Smite is a snowball game and a very strong snowball game. It is usually decided within the first few kills who is going to win because of that factor. Sure you can make a comback but its REALLY incredibly super duper pooper scooper impossible and something to actually be proud of at team games and higher normal elo.
Also, I believe with all of the streaming that is out there from pro players there will always be "that best strategy". But it has to be that way, there is always a best/most efficient way to do something. I have seen tons of bad players try this and get destroyed, you cant just buy those items and auto win your lane.
Maybe at the level you guys are playing at this is done every game, but at my level I rarely see it. I have only played ~200 games, and I would definitely not call myself amazing. But, I enjoy the bracket I am in win some and lose some.
I do think HiRez will probably alter this however, due to mass criticism and at least try something new. I doubt this is the finished product (as far as mid lane balance goes). I would like to hear what the top level players think about the mid lane.
I find it really sad that even pub games know about this >.<
Pop off solar blessing.
