So, I started playing Smite yesterday, it's a MOBA (which I usually dislike) but it's 3rd person shooter style and requires you to aim, etc and far easier to understand than DOTA, at least imo. 

I like that all of the characters are gods from world mythology.  It's been kind of amusing, but I'm a total newbie and the cash shop seems to have ridiculously high pricing (I calculated a month of "booster" xp/whatever to cost ~$16.50/month at the best gem pricing level of 8000 for $100), although I am considering the $30 1 time unlock for all current and future gods which I guess is an ongoing special promotion.

So you can buy gems to unlock or play matches to unlock gods, and then there are skins and voice packs for some of them, there is a wide variety everything from Thor to Cupid covering Greek/Norse/Hindu/Chinese/Roman mythologies with various roles, a few different game modes with the ability to play competitively (ongoing tournament gearing up) to coop with or without other actual people.  They seem to rotate a set of gods that are unlocked for some period of time so you can try different ones out but I didn't see a way to test the other ones without buying.

It's from hi-rez studios which are the same people that did Global Agenda which I also played a few years ago before it went "F2P with cash shop" so I already had an account, it's like ~4GB download or something.  Graphics are DX 9 so not super amazing but good enough and it has no complaints about windowed mode or alt tabbing to change documentaries on my other monitor.  Anyway it stands as the only "MOBA" I've played for more than half an hour so I thought maybe other people would be interested in checking it out too.

Be warned though, like every conceivable name has been taken, it took me something like 20 tries at a name before I became philosofaptor (no, that's not a typo).
