smite v. league of legends

so I just started playing smite, i'm level 6 out of 30 and here's what smite's done better so far: -free starting characters -special skins that can only be purchased (for in game, non-real money) once you have acheived god mastery -weekly log-in rewards that include gems (real-money currency) -a first win bonus for every map -support for non-standard game modes -SUPPORT FOR NON-STANDARD GAME MODES -NO RUNES -canned chat commands that are broadcast to the entire team and require at max 4 button presses -usable champ pool

Things league has done better -champs with transforming weapons -non-mana champs -total champ pool -smarter bots (seriously the smite bots are idiots)

I've played about 10 games of arena (5v5 deathmatch with team health like dominion) and its pretty balanced and fun. I've played medusa (adc with poison abilities and petrify ult), ymir (ap cc tank), and freya (kayle, but without the healing or invul) so far and they're all pretty great
