Just approaching level 30 finally and cannot wait to play ranked matches...
I would be careful about this. Even though you may be able to play ranked, I most certainly wouldn't advise doing so immediately. Your first ten games determine what division you are placed in, and if you use them before you are prepared/skilled enough, you will most certainly regret doing so as you grind the bronze ladder.
On topic, however, Smite doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Call me old school.
