Paladins

I hop in for a match or two every once in a while. It's sort of repetitive, but I have fun.

Wobbly matchmaking sometimes but good game

i played it last night for the first time, i prefer it over ow. it feels more tactical and the mist concept is awesome forcing teamfights

Pay to win too stronk

No, but it's alright.

I have to say that it is because this is Sup Forums and you're not allowed to like popular things here

they ruined it with the p2w elements, it is even more unbalanced than Overwatch now.

I haven't played in ages but I remember getting so much gold so quickly that I was questioning why everything wasn't just unlocked for you by default.

It's fine if you don't own overwatch, otherwise don't bother.

Unbalanced garbage. P2W shit.

It's more fun but it's an unbalanced shit.

It's fun but the Hitboxes are way worse than Overwatch.

It felt lifeless, now it got hi-rez'd
bomb king best king
I'd take overwatch any day

>p2w

please elaborate on that

Doesn't matter if it still includes getting cucked for 12 or so hours.

Maybe it's changed, but I got all the characters I wanted plus cards after only a couple of games.

they introduced a currency called essence, you can buy shit it. The high end shit costs way too much to farm so you must basically pay money if you want to have at least some fun.

>after only a couple of games
Now that's bullshit and you know it

>you can buy stuff with real money that you can get for free
That's not p2w, faggot.

I'll try it when they have oceanic servers.

>using the classic "but you get it for free if you farm 1 bajillion years!" argument

No retard, you don't understand. You can buy cards that buff your abilities. High end cards cost a fucking fortune and even pros who spend hundreds of hours in this game can't afford all of them.

New player? Yeah enjoy getting fucked in your ass until you spend real life cash or you get insanely lucky with chests and hope that you get the cards for the heroes you want (you also have to buy them)

...

It was fun for a good laugh with some friends. Would never play it seriously though because the game is actually terrible. Felt like a Chinese ripoff of Overwatch.

It's a fun game and has better map + game design than OW, but the new heroes they keep adding are OP as fuck.

Don't be a smart ass, you know what he's talking about.

Nice bait.
You know very well p2w means not play to win which is exactly in this case you pay and you win what could take you months of autistic grind.

It's alright in bursts. I haven't really played anyone outside of Cassie and Drogoz though.

Threadly reminder that Paladins was announced before overwatch, and had a public beta before overwatch.

>overwatch clone
kek. OW is literally TF2 + SMITE

In what way does OW share with smite? I don't think smite invented ults

these jews didn't understand that easily purchasing new cards and trying new builds WAS part of the fun

Well clearly we aren't using logic here, Since OW has character abilities, it must have created them first. Despite all the other games with character abilities before it.

I figured I'd join in on your illogical pony shit show and shit post with you.

aren't most of the default ones fine to use though

Jesus Christ, this looks just as bad as Battleborne HUD.

>bad as battleborn hud

>displays a healthbar
>displays enemy health and name
>displays damage

Wow, 3 whole fucking things on screen.

They must have drastically changed something. When I was playing like four, five months ago I was able to easily afford all the cards I needed for the three characters I play in something like 20 games.

you literally can't see anything in Battleborn user

So are you agreeing that your claim was stupid?

He's blowing it out his ass, he clearly doesn't know how to earn gold. And essance becomes easier to get the longer you play.

I'm stating that claiming Paladins is a OW clone is fucking autistic.

If you're going to be a loudmouthed, shit-eating retard, then might I just remind you that Warcraft 3 started the shit that games like Smite ran with. So feel free to take Hi-Rez's cock out of your mouth, they can't even feel it.

The damage indicators and health particle shit make it look terrible.

They added a new currency because people needed a gold sink so they made a new currency that takes your gold and runs it through the RNG chest system to produce the ones you need to craft cards. It was terrible at the start because the math checks out at over 10x the additional grind but now they added disenchant so it's roughly half that right now. New players get shafted and older ones get so much of it that it ended up the opposite of what it should have done.

Oh look a faggot who actually know that OW isn't mighty.

Also W3 wasn't the first.

not to mention that buying specific cards is dumb if you're a new player

since gold comes by so really fast, it's cost efficient to buy chests instead

Eh not really. Again, rack up gold then buy chests.

>has hitboxes twice the size of models
>characters are unbalanced
>characters kits are not intuitive or sensible
>characters don't compliment each other well
>many characters are blatant rip offs of overwatch
It's pretty bad

OH BOY I CAN ALMOST FEEL THAT LEGENDARY

>blatant ripoffs
>overwatch releases Sombra
>literal rip-off of Skye
>even no shamed the same color scheme

Good combat but the maps are boring as shit

It's the main and only game that matters when discussing shitty "mobas", so it's the only one I need to bring up to establish that you're an idiot and should probably stop acting so arrogant on a website dedicated to shitposting.

Face it, Paladins is a blatant Overwatch clone. They didn't look any further than Overwatch for their inspiration, pretending that they independently made this game from the same sources as Overwatch is giving Hi-Rez far more credit than they could possibly deserve.

didn't you just prove his point about earning legendary faster due to that essence

All those things are true though.

>your an idiot
>for trying to prove that Paladins isn't an Overwatch clone
I find this cute, since you are the faggot who said paladins is an overwatch clone.

youtube.com/watch?v=J2gBkqP4V9Y&

honestly there are only two maps that infuriate me, Frog Isle and Fish Market

their newer maps are better

>40000 gold to get a single legendary
>easy to get

At least it doesn't have gays or robots

I want to tickle Pip's feet.

It does have gays.
Look at lex and Pip.

>lying

the most expensive cards are 12000 essence, even the "start up" cards

Lex is not for sex

Gay robots are the game's playerbase.

Yes and, Overwatch has hitboxes 4 times the size of the heroes.

>Hanzo
>genji
>mei
literally every projectile based hero gets a special hitbox that is 4 times larger than the hero. That's why any shot from Hanzo one shots tracer.

>characters unbalanced
Ana, Rein, Lucio, Genji, S76, Every Season there has been overpowered under balanced heroes

>kits are not intuitive
Yea, because giving lucio the ability to heal through music makes sense

>characters don't compliment each other
There is no complienting in OW, it's literally the exact same meta on both teams, no deviation allowed

>blatant ripoffs
Those heroes are also literal ripoffs of moba characters and their abilities.

So fucking try again nigger.

Actually, the color scheme is everything.

I played this game for about 30 minutes.
Then suddenly I started wondering why I wasn't playing Team Fortress 2 instead.
Seriously, everything about this game feels so... cheap.
The character design, gameplay, map design...
Holy fuck, the mounts control like absolute trash.

I don't understand why anyone would play this.

>literal rip-off of Skye

I guess you can say they're both purple and can turn invisible, but that's it.

That's just your headcanon.

Hope they change their ways after playing Paladins

user you played with bots, you aren't allowed to play with players until you become player level 5

>overwatch clone

>implying anything in overwatch is original

When I saw all the characters mount up on generic horses and ride through a cartoon fantasy world, I was laughing my ass off.

99% of the time you will get 250/350 cards, not counting the cosmetics that you can not transform back in essence

>omg they can only turn invisible
>they can't be a clone
meanwhile, none of the heroes of paladins share more than 1 ability with OW heroes.

Yet they are clones...

That's the problem.
Paladins is a cheap copy of an expensive copy of Overwatch.

Wanna talk rip offs?
>androxus = mcree and reaper

>lex = mcree and reaper
>makoa = roadhog
>drogoz = pharah
>evie = mei
>barik = torbjorn
>maeve = genji

are you trying to horse drift or what?, just use them to reach the point fast

I don't think matches being harder will make stop wondering why i'm not playing Team Fortress 2 instead.

I don't care, I already uninstalled this game.
But seriously, why are these horses in the game?
They play absolutely awfully and they are to counter the fact that they made the maps too big?
Who made this game?

I tried it once. It felt like the Gameloft version of Overwatch.

and with all the random shit you get you'll eventually obtain that card you need, that by the time you got the needed essence you probably have unlocked a bunch of other stuff too

it has a less retarded fanbase

also this is more for quick games rather than long sessions which tf2 is built on

>overwatch invented generic soldiers, female snipers, hooks, rocket launchers + jetpacks, dwarvish engineers, and ice cold bitches

horses are good for getting to an area fast, what's wrong with this

seriously, how are you controlling the horses? this isn't fucking Shadow of the Colossus

>it has a less retarded fanbase
Both games are overrun by russians and brazilians.

>androxus = mcree and reaper
That is autisic and not true
>viktor
You mean call of duty the hero? outside of that he doens't have a heal, he doesn't have the rocket nad and no aimbot ult
>Kinessa
Oh you mean a sniper? Wow, never saw that before, shame her ult doesn't let you see around the map
>Fernando
Right because having a shield is reinhearts originality. To bad he charges at heroes instead of shoots them with flames
>Sha Lin = Hanzo
Wow a Bow, outside of that nothing alike
>Lex = Mcree + reaper
Again have you ever played him?
>Makoa = roadhog
A chain makes him roadhog? what the fuck is roadhog then? Stitch?
>Drogoz = pharah
So you want a lizzard who wants to be a dragon not to be able to fly? Also guess what honey, Pharah isn't origianl, shes based off an entire franchise.
>Evie = Mei
wut?
>barik = torb
Again what?
>Maeve = Genji
Did you even play Maeve? Her ult alone is nothing like genji

At least play the fucking game before spouting complete nonsense.

>you'll eventually obtain that card you need
unless it is a epic/legendary card, then good luck with that

Overwatch invented:
- soldiers,
- femme fatales,
- tanks,
- asian people,
- edgy gunsligers,
- jetpacks
- ice bitches
- dwarves

the fact that he compared makoa to roadhog is already retarded since makoa is more "original" and complete in theme

remember that old thread

>fat masked man can roll in their shells

dunno about you but I got most of my legendaries through the chest

Oh boy, autismos fighting over which pathetic and laughable copy of Team Fortress 2 is less of an embarassment.

this user will never realize that he is actually the retard.

I made a smurf last week, in one week I've gotten all of my builds back and on the first night had brought my elo up to 2200 alone.

Stop being shit.

>prettt fun

You think it's fun because you're finding it easier to kill people thanks to the xbox huge hitboxes.

Go into the shooting range and see for yourself. Overwatch is casual, but this is REALLY casual.

ey kid wanna buy some potions?

>Stop being shit in RNG

Oh boy, personal attacks in the second reply, and here I expected someone to explain to me why people are playing this terrible, terrible videogame.

You don't need the RNG, your gold earned is based on your in game skill, the better you do in a match the more gold you get.

t. Prettyhair

I like how you didn't even try hiding your samefagging.

I thought Gameloft released their clones on smartphones only.

Hanzo fires logs, it's not that the hitboxes are off, it's that his projectile is large.

I'm not sure why all Paladins threads turn into the same repetitive flamewar. Sup Forums really feels like groundhog day sometimes.
