Beginner - Advanced Level
Welcome to the battleground of the Gods in this social gaming group for Smite 1 or Smite 2. In this comprehensive class, young gamers will embark on an exhilarating journey through the realms of mythology and strategy. This class is designed for players of all levels, from beginners to seasoned gods! The session will last 1 hour but could very well over-run and more time will be given. A usual match can be finished in 10 minutes, or may last for 40 minutes! I won't want to end the class early, so a match would be started of a different match type, that is typically a shorter match/battle. _______________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT: To ensure safety and privacy, we won't play 5v5 matches against human players until our class has at least four students, forming a full team of five of us. Instead, we'll play against AI bots, filling any vacant team slots with AI teammates. For instance, if only one student joins, we'll have two players, and the rest of the team will be filled with 3 AI bots, creating a balanced match against five AI opponents. This could also make the game more enjoyable as we could win more matches! _______________________________________________________________ Through a combination of live gameplay sessions, in-depth discussions, and hands-on experience, students will learn to play over 130 god characters in Smite 2, while honing their skills in teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. Will you choose to master the radiant powers of the Egyptian god, Ra, or the shadowy dominion of Hades? How about harnessing the might of Poseidon's trident, wielding Thor's hammer, embodying the valor of Achilles, captivating with Aphrodite's charm, commanding with Freya's prowess, or strategizing with Athena, the Goddess of War? _______________________________________________________________ Class Structure: Each class session will be a blend of mainly gameplay, with brief discussions on tactics and reflecting on past matches and improving our performance. Regular feedback and personalised tips will be provided to help students improve and enjoy the game to its fullest. Please note, I am not an expert or professional player. This game is very hard against other human players! I can teach students how to play the game and be better at it, but this is mainly a social group in a safe environment. With that being said, we will always fight with a passion and enthusiasm to win and conquer any team we go against! Again, until we have a full team of 5 of us, we will be playing with and against AI bots. _______________________________________________________________ I will create a friendly inclusive gaming session in a safe and trustworthy environment. Students will feel a sense unity within our team of 4 students and myself. Mutual support and teamwork is essential! Crossing the map to support each other, as well as joining up into a 5-some and fighting together. Communication and quick verbal planning are paramount! And when it all pays off and we win the match, there isn't a more powerful feeling than the achievement and comradery within the team. You truly do feel proud to be a part of making it all happen and getting the win! I'll be playing more as a friend and teammate, than an adult teacher. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Also check my profile for lots of other games that I host, or contact me to request certain days/times/age requirements. Team up with Smite enthusiasts and start a great adventure filled with thrilling battles and epic victories. Join us and become a Smite God!
