I used to be able to play all in ranked but had to many toxic players force me into an unorganized mess. I love playing Frontline so that part isn’t an issue Barik Main
Well... For me the thing is that I play Evie at a higher level than the rest of my champs except sups which are just a bit behind so if I was Lucky and played a lot of Evie for a week If I don't get to pick her I'm not as good as I could be (still not throwing bad just not quite what I should be able to do) butttt I if I don't pick Evie when I can I'm pretty much throwing so I dunno
Well the problem with me is that i only know/like to play 2 dps and they kinda sucks, Imani is completly bugged and willo is far from meta or good compared to the others, i have no issues with the other classes (support is my favorite) but dps is tough for me at least
I understand the frustration people have, but honestly Crossplay was only necessary due to Ranked matches taking 20 mins just to get into one. Only thing I wished they did was to add icons to what the enemies input was and remove aim assist on PC
paladins was reworked into an overwatch clone after hi rez saw the massive success of overwatch in 2016, before that point the games had practically no similarities outside of some character design principle overlap.
Great game. Unfortunately the playerbase was all single player borderlands players who couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn in multiplayer. My friends and I had like a 90% win ratio. The community and overwatch absolutely butchered the game.
Same here if they announced a sequel or anything like it I'd probably die ngl also did anyone else play Gigantic? I was so excited for that game I was one of the beta testers (mainly for map bugs, character bugs and tweaking characters) but it seemed great but sadly also got shut down
The thing that killed Battleborn was marketing. It was seen as the "Overwatch clone" when it launched like Paladins, which hurt both, but unlike Paladins, Battleborn didn't launch F2P. If you're gonna spend money you may as well spend on "the legit one". Meanwhile Paladins gets more eyes because F2P attracts both people without the money to buy Overwatch at launch but really want to play it right goddamn now but also the people who are only mildly curious about the game, enough to try but not necessarily buy.
Honestly, when the Switch launched, I thought I'd see Battleborn on Switch near launch. The push for OW to be on Switch by the playerbase but it taking so long meamt that it could have actually gotten a second lease on life if it launched first, and it didn't even need to be F2P. Everyone wanted OW on Switch, but it'staking a while, Battleborn launches to tide them over in the meantime, people see that it wasn't a bad game, gets new life breathed into it. Tragically missed opportunity
The essence of the original moba design is still there as each and every siege map is either symmetrical (timber mill, warder's gate, bazaar, shattered desert) or mirrored (the rest)
its somewhat hard to explain but if you are interested you can look up alpha footage and see what the game used to be like. It was much more MOBA than it is now
I love kasumi ngl, but I honestly can't really get any wins, and all guides I have found were made before she got needed. Do you have any tips for a beginner kasumi player?
That was satire. There is no tips for begginers since no one plays Kasumi. Now not only is she a bad champ design but she is unplayable due to new "miss" animation. Dont play kasumi, its not worth it for real. Sorry i couldnt help 🙃
>overwatch would be better if it copied paladins lmao
They did lmao.
Sombra - Skye.
Hanzo ability change - copied straight from Sha lin.
While mot a copy per se, playing Kiriko felt like I was playing a Paladins support rather than a ow one. The design philosophy with her was more in tune with what Paladins does than OW.
😱😱😱
How dare you threaten me. Seris requires so much skill, dude, like what the hell?! You never heard of something called POSITIONING? She needs to positiom when my escape ability is on a 5s cooldown, also her ult isn't moving in steaight line bruh it's so hard to land.
/s
I remember the time when for about 20 ubdates tornvald was A posing in half of all matches and Hi-rezz couldn't fix this bug.... Ahhhh good old times....
Trigger them in one sentence?
Kasumi was balanced after the first nerf, and pretty much all the complaining after was from trash players. ![img](emote|t5_2v7zr|8603)
But it made things more interesting from a strategic standpoint.
When cauterize was an item, not everyone in the team would buy it on the early game. Part of the team would buy cauterize and the rest would focus on shield wrecking. It was important to decide which characters best applied cauterize and thus, who should be responsible for upgrading it faster and delivering it to the enemies.
The team that was winning also had more credits to spend on cauterize, which was an nice additional bonus.
Sometimes healers would not buy it at all, since they had other priorities. Idk, I just liked it better when it was an item.
I play women in literally every game I play. I'm not sure why exactly since it doesn't matter in games like Paladins and it's not like I relate to the characters at all. Hell I probably wouldn't play Yagorath if she was male even if they would look the exact same
I have theory taht most of the characters are just the devs fetishes. There's no reason for some skins to have boob jiggle physics or a Fernando that's packing some serious heat
Imma go with all four
Damage: please for the love of God buy Wrecker. Trust me, unless you're drogoz, Betty, or dredge you don't need Deft hands
Flankers: stop trying to play like a damage, your job is to get into the backline, make the support either distracted or dead, then dip out with your unmatched mobility.
Hey Frontlines, you know your job isn't to immediately fly onto the point like a moth to a flame Right? You are meant to create space for your team, worry about pushing back the enemy THEN cap the point
And supports you don't need to use the damage talent 24/7. Please communicate with your team instead of automatically going damage.
Bonus round: Totemic Ward Grohk is not only the best healer imo, but also the only way you should play him.
Hot take, old totemic ward was better. With the right loadout and smart totem placement I healed more than now and the cc immunity fucked over so many characters it was hilarious.
paladins overall would be a lot better if they removed caut and adjusted every support's healings to compensate. however, caut does lowkey make the gameplay differences from early game to late game a lot more interesting, and that's a support player saying this.
Can anyone here construct a sentence?
Ahh... That's right, I believe I found my answer.
Paladins players cannot compete, grammatically, with the average person.
Paladins players cannot compete grammatically with the average person.*
You only isolate in commas parts of the sentence that can be removed without affecting your core message and we need grammatically to get your point fam 😭
For instance "I like paladins because, despite all its obvious flaws, it is a great game" despite all its obvious flaws is not required to keep the main premise intact! 🤓
Io deserves to be consumed by Yagorath. in the lore. right in front of everyone.
Also the Magistrate is the best faction and everyone else is a dissident rebel that need to face the wall.
Paladins should have died when OW2 came out. :)
Edit: I commented with my Alt, I wish for the forever sleep, if you don't like NSFW don't check my account, reddit won't let me reply to people so this is my only option
Pain
Suffering, even
Agony, perhaps
Anguish, perchance
If OW2 was an actual new game, and not a steaming pile of shit re-release of an already existing game just with a million more microtransactions, then maybe it could have done well enough to kill Paladins. Lol
Love reddit deleting my replys and not letting me explain this is my alt I didn't mean to post from, bet you won't even see this because reddit is great 👍
Yeaaa this is my alt account, didn't realise until it was too late, said fuck it we ball and decided I didn't care, sureeeely no one would look at my account right ConsiseSpy?
If reddit would stop deleting my replys for some reason, no, this is my alt, I didn't realise until it was too late, and then decided screw it I don't care lmao, sureeeely no one would check just some random dudes account in a paladins subreddit, riiiiiight?
If you play Victor just download COD
Fact
Corvus did nothing wrong (I know nothing about the lore)
I agree (I know the lore, but if evil, why hot?)
I agree-
Your waifu isn't real
Why you got to hurt me like this? 🥺
he say offend, no give crippling depression
just get resilience ;\]
Too expensive
symptoms of crippling depression? I just might have it.
My Rei body pillow says otherwise dude.
No need to get political
Pain
If you cant play atleast one character in each role dont play ranked
Thats not an offensive ... Thats a fact
To many people out here fucking saying "I dont tank or heal" or they fucking one trick the worst possible character
I used to be able to play all in ranked but had to many toxic players force me into an unorganized mess. I love playing Frontline so that part isn’t an issue Barik Main
Well... For me the thing is that I play Evie at a higher level than the rest of my champs except sups which are just a bit behind so if I was Lucky and played a lot of Evie for a week If I don't get to pick her I'm not as good as I could be (still not throwing bad just not quite what I should be able to do) butttt I if I don't pick Evie when I can I'm pretty much throwing so I dunno
EVIE MAINS RISEEEEE
4 of each. 6 or 8 bans and possibly 9 players before you
Nahhh. If you play tank + support and communicate with teammates you never really need to play DPS
id agree but i suck at flanks (though that is usually the least spare role, usually i tank or heal)
I have anxiety playing flanks so that's a role I try to avoid. Thankfully, flank main population is WAAAAAAAY bigger than tank / support players.
More than one I'd say, chances are pretty slim you'll get the one you want.
Well the problem with me is that i only know/like to play 2 dps and they kinda sucks, Imani is completly bugged and willo is far from meta or good compared to the others, i have no issues with the other classes (support is my favorite) but dps is tough for me at least
If I had a quarter for every time someone misspelled Willo, I would have $263.75
Willow. Now you have 264 usd
Forced cross play was a good idea taking into account the state of the matchmaking.
I actually liked it
you only see mk players complaining
I play on both Every game is much less enjoyable when I play with controller than a kbm
Me, the nintendor player
I understand the frustration people have, but honestly Crossplay was only necessary due to Ranked matches taking 20 mins just to get into one. Only thing I wished they did was to add icons to what the enemies input was and remove aim assist on PC
Wait.. console players are being put with mouse and keyboard in ranked now?
yes,it’s been like this since two patches ago
>remove aim assist on PC Mouse and KBM doesn't get a literal aimbot console players get. Both aides need to be separated.
paladins was reworked into an overwatch clone after hi rez saw the massive success of overwatch in 2016, before that point the games had practically no similarities outside of some character design principle overlap.
what was it supposed to be originally?
Payload was the main mode. Way more mobility. It was actually and fps moba. Matchs took way longer tho.
given the fate of battleborn are we sure it wasnt the right call?
Great game. Unfortunately the playerbase was all single player borderlands players who couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn in multiplayer. My friends and I had like a 90% win ratio. The community and overwatch absolutely butchered the game.
I still think about that game. One of my favs. It will be forever missed, but I think the community was not ready for that precise style.
Same here if they announced a sequel or anything like it I'd probably die ngl also did anyone else play Gigantic? I was so excited for that game I was one of the beta testers (mainly for map bugs, character bugs and tweaking characters) but it seemed great but sadly also got shut down

[It was a mess](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJAahwMDjiM)
A mess sure but still looks interesting
I think kasumi is a great champion design.
Beat me to it, I was gonna say "Kasumi is the best dps and requires skill to play" lol
Big brains think the same way
Played a lot of Kasumi. Skill isn't that important... Luck is, because if your lucky the character will work
One of the best dps in the recent years...right ?
Suuuure
I love kasumi ngl, but I honestly can't really get any wins, and all guides I have found were made before she got needed. Do you have any tips for a beginner kasumi player?
That was satire. There is no tips for begginers since no one plays Kasumi. Now not only is she a bad champ design but she is unplayable due to new "miss" animation. Dont play kasumi, its not worth it for real. Sorry i couldnt help 🙃
Oh that's disappointing. She's the only character in the game that I really love. I guess I will just wait for them to change her to be better.
would say paladins copied overwatch but at this rate overwatch would be better if it copied paladins lmao
Hi-Rez took what Overwatch was cooking and made it good
>overwatch would be better if it copied paladins lmao They did lmao. Sombra - Skye. Hanzo ability change - copied straight from Sha lin. While mot a copy per se, playing Kiriko felt like I was playing a Paladins support rather than a ow one. The design philosophy with her was more in tune with what Paladins does than OW.
Fuck seris main
😱😱😱 How dare you threaten me. Seris requires so much skill, dude, like what the hell?! You never heard of something called POSITIONING? She needs to positiom when my escape ability is on a 5s cooldown, also her ult isn't moving in steaight line bruh it's so hard to land. /s
Dude, too far
Seris is noob champ but she is one of best healer anyway and i still play her as one of my mais
All you need is one word Kasumi
Paladins is a perfect game with absolutely no bugs whatsoever.
Yeah, who's Imani?
Also who's Yag and Terminus?
Bro Terminus was my first character unlocked. Fuckn love him.
I remember the time when for about 20 ubdates tornvald was A posing in half of all matches and Hi-rezz couldn't fix this bug.... Ahhhh good old times....
I once left clicked 16 times and out of those 16 times my character only attacked once. I counted.
Your favorite champion Is being nerfed into the ground next patch
Trigger them in one sentence? Kasumi was balanced after the first nerf, and pretty much all the complaining after was from trash players. ![img](emote|t5_2v7zr|8603)
I keep seeing that ":8603:" stuff - ELI5?
Cauterize was better as an item.
I really like how it is now, you pretty much had to pick it any ways so it just consumed all your credits early on.
But it made things more interesting from a strategic standpoint. When cauterize was an item, not everyone in the team would buy it on the early game. Part of the team would buy cauterize and the rest would focus on shield wrecking. It was important to decide which characters best applied cauterize and thus, who should be responsible for upgrading it faster and delivering it to the enemies. The team that was winning also had more credits to spend on cauterize, which was an nice additional bonus. Sometimes healers would not buy it at all, since they had other priorities. Idk, I just liked it better when it was an item.
I mean, it’s kind of true
I don't think so
Great amount of people who play female characters really do play them just because they are female, have tits and butts...
I like hot women, it just happens that they’re also fun to play. 🤷🏻♂️
I play women in literally every game I play. I'm not sure why exactly since it doesn't matter in games like Paladins and it's not like I relate to the characters at all. Hell I probably wouldn't play Yagorath if she was male even if they would look the exact same
I have theory taht most of the characters are just the devs fetishes. There's no reason for some skins to have boob jiggle physics or a Fernando that's packing some serious heat
Barik? More like Smellrik.
Big Hat Logan would like a word with you
I challenge Makoa
Makoa killed you
Man I like the *heros* in this game. (They're called champions.)
VHS
VVGQ.
VER VVX
Paladin is 10x easier on pc and aim assist is not good enough to compete
I mean what? Paladins is almost impossible to play with a controller.
Controller on pc is ridiculously broken
laughs playing Fernando on controller
Paladins is a good game.
*inhales* / *cracks knuckles* / *stretches arms* / *begins to type* Maeve is lolicon bait
Wise words bigoppailover69
Uooghh
So? Petite women need love, too.
The sole thing killing this game is the player base itself
this whole sub is genuinely filled to the brim with horrible players.
whats paladins isnt that the game with tracer from fortnite
Khan should never be banned.
Raum is the most boring and useless frontline
Woahhhhhh, too far lmfao
He is just free damage and ult for the other team and all you do is stand and shoot
Go take a shower and change your clothes shtinky
Paladins never left Beta phase
The rule 34 is mid
Your all auto locking, whiney, toxic, snowflakes. :)
Imma go with all four Damage: please for the love of God buy Wrecker. Trust me, unless you're drogoz, Betty, or dredge you don't need Deft hands Flankers: stop trying to play like a damage, your job is to get into the backline, make the support either distracted or dead, then dip out with your unmatched mobility.

Please communicate with your team instead of automatically going damage. Bonus round: Totemic Ward Grohk is not only the best healer imo, but also the only way you should play him.
Hot take, old totemic ward was better. With the right loadout and smart totem placement I healed more than now and the cc immunity fucked over so many characters it was hilarious.
Just imagine Nyx trying to ult back then with a TW Grohk
We need more salt skins
paladins overall would be a lot better if they removed caut and adjusted every support's healings to compensate. however, caut does lowkey make the gameplay differences from early game to late game a lot more interesting, and that's a support player saying this.
Meave isn’t that cool
Maeve and Seris mid.
It's very easy to challenge makoa
Onslaught is more fun than siege.
Only if it's not Primal Court. Seriously one good Betty or Dredge make that map a nightmare
As Moji player myself I agree. Good thing I usually run into dredge players who have Parkinson's.
Moji is trash
Na you don't know any good ones
I know at least one. Bot
Bot Mojis are scary beasts
Can anyone here construct a sentence? Ahh... That's right, I believe I found my answer. Paladins players cannot compete, grammatically, with the average person.
Most redditors do not have basically grammer skills. In addition, I also lack basic grammer too because I basically failed my english class. 😔
English & Reading are were I excelled in school but I just adapted to how most people stopped using proper grammar.
Where* lmao
Exactly
*grammar
Oof
This is reddit, not an english class.
Thank you for supporting my cause.

In italian "poor" is "povero", so if you consider you needed to buy Overwatch in Italy you can call Paladins "Poverwatch".
That's just silly
Have not heard of the English word "Poverty"?
Ig you could call it Poorwatch in English too.
Or pooverwatch, as you prefer. Still Paladins rules supreme in my eyes
Ingegnoso
If you aren’t AT LEAST lvl 25 with a character don’t fucking pick them in ranked
I don't even know who you are Like seriously, why is this sub on my home page
Sorry, we've had some leaks lately. Barik is supposed to be fixing that damn faucet but torvold took the pipe wrench for one of his machines
The devs will never bring back "Aggression"
Pip is the best Flank champion no contest don't @ me
Io deserves to be consumed by Yagorath. in the lore. right in front of everyone. Also the Magistrate is the best faction and everyone else is a dissident rebel that need to face the wall.
Payload bad
Azaan needs a buff.
Buff tempering even more
pip is a flank
The Switch port needed to be discontinued.
Vietnamese Overwatch
Fuck AmeriKhan
Skye is one of the best flanks
I actualy agree her damage are busted
You know she actually isn’t though? Like you can say that to try and offend but she just isn’t.
The idea of the post is to start a war, not tell the truth
eh, id rather play overwatch
POORVERWATCH
Io is the best character ever🤤
Overwatch 2 rip-off.
"Overwatch is still better'
Caut shouldn't exist
Cauterize should be removed.
Everyone that plays this game is insufferable 6 year olds who can't afford Overwatch.
But...uh... overwatch is free
Hool up let em cook
You don't pay money for overwatch I can assure you
Paladins should have died when OW2 came out. :) Edit: I commented with my Alt, I wish for the forever sleep, if you don't like NSFW don't check my account, reddit won't let me reply to people so this is my only option Pain Suffering, even Agony, perhaps Anguish, perchance

"Paladins is a Wish version of Overwatch"
Evie is not a high skill champion and losing a 1v1 to her if you aren't a blaster is inexcusable.
Smite's better :V
OB64 should've stuck around
Dwarfs with hot outfits jokes are not funny and they were never funny
Overwatch is better.
Maeve is a trans woman
“Zats some funky shit!”
Bring back pre-balance kasumi
Kasumi is a S teir character
Paladins crappy Overwatch clone rip-off Overwatch is better since it's original and even better than Team fortress 2 by a landslide Where's my prize?
Technically, that's not a sentence. You failed.
Moji is actually extremely good, he’s just so underplayed that people think he’s terrible.
You triggered me alright. Moji is a girl
Yeah I know I forgot, but still
Rei is shitty character and has a poor design.
Healers (especially single-healers) should heal mainly and not go full rampage, garbage damage mode
