Don’t worry about getting Smite anything for its first birthday. It already has plenty to be grateful for.

The multiplayer online battle arena officially came out for PC on March 25, 2014, entering a market dominated by heavyweights League of Legends and Dota 2. Still, while many MOBAs don’t make it, Smite is now the third-most popular game of its kind, having surpassed Heroes of Newerth.

Dota was No. 3, and League of Legends was comfortably ahead at No. 1.
