Feeding report system sucks. I have been playing for one day and had got to level 9 and bought Ares because I watched some of his game play. I have played LoL a few times and I sucked at this. My friend who plays LoL convinced me to play this, even though I keep dying a lot in a game I like Smite. I had just bought Ares and tried him for my first time, I was playing arena. I heard some people saying some technical stuff like 'go AoE ult' and stuff like that. When we entered the game, assuming what a Tank was from my knowledge my job was to go front line and take all the damage. I did that and died about 4 times in about 5 minutes. This guy in chat said "Ares you suck a lot, you are stupid noob." Then he said "Everyone! Report Ares for feeding." I did not know what feeding was he told he I am a stupid 5 year old idiot for not knowing what feeding is, I left the match half way through the game since in shame. I looked feeding up, understood it. I think the system is unfair on new players.
In LoL the term feeding is used there as well but at least now you know.
If you feel the need to get a bit of a better understanding for things though then you are able to do customs against bots where you can play as any god even if you don't own them. Take the time to check out every god and their kit as well as experimenting with items.
As for the whole tanking every last bit of damage. no. Especially in the arena no, cause that's 5 gods and their minions doing tons of damage to your face at early lvls. Tanks need to get up a bit on lvl and up on them by 1-2 items before becoming a damage sponge. You don't go balls deep until your ahead of them and are capable of going for a walk in the park between all of them then going "Oh hey you're all near me" -ults-
Other times like Conquest though, keep in mind minions HURT @.@ if the enemy has more minions than you then do not start a fight between the minions, they will have the upper hand unless your way ahead and able to soak it up. All early game you want to be annoying to them and make them want to focus you later in the game. A majority of the time its a mind game especially against those who can escape your ult. Ares has another ability with a chain which is what you could use to trick the enemy into wasting their bead active, which removes all CC. Afterwords wait like 2-3 seconds and ult them into oblivion. The reason i say to wait is because for a few seconds they are immune to CC after using that active.
If your under then the best thing to do is not start any fight, keep things under turret and farm. People may think that farming a minion for that 1 extra gold is worthless but they are wrong. I was a 1/0/1 He Bo and because I was farming like a mad man without jungle farm, I was keeping up in gold right next to an enemy who was a 6/0/1 Freya. That bonus gold stacks up faster than most people think.
Hope you will enjoying tanking as much as I do. Smite has got me forgetting league is still around xD
I think that you should try out a damage or mage character. As with any character, the first thing you have to learn is to be careful. By playing characters such as wukong, kali or ra, you get to learn your limits, increase your map awareness and be more careful early game. however, if you get frustrated and die late game, then you can start to move toward tanks, as you have developed some skills in surviving. Or you could just learn the method above, which is viable in my opinion.
The number one rule for any MOBA is do what will get you the most gold. For most cases, this will be just farming in lane. If you simply just passively farm in lane, you won't die.
