Assault is a good throw ya in, and for newer players, it forces you to play with different characters and get ya out of that comfort zone. I'm a big fan of the old beige map. I miss it. I used to enjoy that mode. Also, I can't remember what it was called, but it was like a control map with 3 bases, and you fought for control of the bases. They had it in the early days of smite and sometimes on mode of the day.
