Paladins: self aware copycat

It's worse than Battleborn

how is that even possible

not an argument

Confirmed to never played. Opinion to the trash.

There's a difference between using character archetypes and downright copying, even down to the animations?

Guess which one Paladins does

Played one match, did a 29 Killstreak with the Knight. Game felt very boring. Uninstalled it. I don't know how deep it goes but it's Hi-Rez. Not gonna find out that they kill the game after you enjoy yourself.

You played against bots, you stupid faggot

This. It looks like one of those Chinese knock off games

Like, even if they just copied to classes that be better, but it's just Overwatch characters but slightly different

>There's a difference between using character archetypes and downright copying
But Overwatch literally copied a tonne of stuff from TF2 and just changed what the characters looked like

What is this ? I'm genuinely interested

Paladins of the Realm, a F2P on steam.

Smite doesn't bring the cash for them anymore?

Confirmed making assumptions, i've played it. I haven't played overwatch however.

>playing against bots

Except no, OW didn't. You clearly haven't played the game.

There aren't any 1:1 direct copies, down to the animations, though

Oh, might be cool, it's made by the studio that did Smite right ?

Yea, and despite the shills here it's a pretty fun game. Plus waifu material.

>just changed what the characters looked like
Remeber when TF2 had a class that could heal and shoot at people with a speaker?

How many other games have a medic that heals via a beam like Mercy?

So it's overwatch but with somehow even worse map design and a shitty champion unlock system. Why would anyone play this?

It's free?

it's fun

That's not even the point I was trying to make.

>You need to unlock characters
>It's fun
That's the opposite of fun.

it's [buzzword]

But it's not

it's still fun.

People who can't afford OW.

For some reason the only character that felt satisfying to me was Skye and even then stealth mechanics seem kinda dumb to use against AI so I have literally no idea how she fairs against real people
I assume not well

Why are autists mad about this game? DoTA 2, LoL and all those other MOBAs are all the same shit. League and Dota have the same characters, graphics, gameplay too, this game and Overwatch are no different. Paladins is free though so there is no hurting trying it out.

>Blizzard fans froth at the mouth

Where are they?

Who cares it's most likely going to dwindle to complete obscurity within the rest of this year.

Most likely will last longer than Battleborn though.

Because since No Man's Sky, dumbasses have been looking for another flag to rally behind and make themselves look even more like a plague. Seriously, these fucks are more professional victims than Anita or anyone from Black Lives Matter, with none of the gumption to actually do anything physically.

>hi-rez

>since No Man's Sky

newfag

you said it, autism

It's threads like these, with the vaguely supportive posts that obviously come fro, the same poster, that make me almost believe in paid shills (or people pretending to be paid shills).
Kind of like the Scientology defense force on Cred Forums.

Unless I missed another game that has produced such an uprise of "fans" wanting to protect their game in the last six months, that's the most recent that people can flow behind. Thus the word "since".

tinfoil hat man, plz go.

But I played this in alpha before overwatch was announced, how is it a copy?

they look more like Dota or Lol Champs/Heroes desu

>worse map design
[citation needed]
but seriously, if it manages to have even worse map design than Overwatch it really means something

>paladins revealed in 2015
>overwatch revealed in 2014

Paladins was playable first.

Which has nothing to do with the original claim.

Wait so they know they're a shameless rip off? I'm still not sure if that makes it ok.

They're not explicitly saying they're discount Overwatch, but everyone is thinking it.

Its fucking garbage.

>Cawadooty TTK faggotry, skilless shit.
>Free-kill ults for children who can't play games.
>Art style is utter cancer.
>Not a single decent design yet.
>Furry shit.

They're not explicitly saying it, but they're implying it really fucking hard.

youtube.com/watch?v=J2gBkqP4V9Y

I played in the closed beta ages ago and it didn't feel like a rip-off at all. Now everyone's saying it is, and looking around a bit I can kind of see it.

what went wrong?

This game has superior girls right?

I'm hoping they really improve on things. I'd take a free OW any day. I refuse to buy into Actiblizz's jew-ery quite yet.

wow that's fucking dumb

>reuses smites main menu and exact pricing scheme for unlocks
>respawn hud ripped straight from Hots
>horses ripped from hots
>character mastery system and it even gives the same rewards as hots
>loot box every level copied from OW
>those fucking not roadhog, not widowmaker, not Hanzo, not reaper, not 76, and not Mei clones
>some mashed together Koth payload mode that just tries too hard to not make another attempt at payload

At least Ying is qt

Depends on your definition of "superior," but a lot of people say they're pretty great.

The original mode (pushing a payload to bust through three gates in the enemy base) was way too difficult to balance, I guess. A lot of Hi-Rez's mechanics trials are "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks." The game has changed very dramatically since the start of closed alpha.

I'm not sure you could be superior to Tracer and Mercy.

While you are right. You just dodged the guys question making you look like a dickhead.

They're decent enough, elfslut a best with a special mention to the redhead with the huge titties

People here have been doing it since kotor or ehatever it was called. NMS debacle was being related to that. Hell it probally goes back further

Just because one of the characters isn't a rip off, doesn't mean a large large portion of the cast isn't

youtube.com/watch?v=J2gBkqP4V9Y

There is double the amount of OW characters than there is TF2. TF2 didnt invent the class system either. Stop acting like a fanboy with a stick up his ass.

Boy, all those abilities sure are original. Original animations, too.

cya nerds

It's one thing for one other person to post the same link but for Christ's sake read the thread before you post.

very much so

what's the difference

Only filthy slavs/eastern europeans and degenerate russians play this garbage. Kill yourself.

>playing a f2p copy of a game with an actual paygate to keep out dumb third worlders

What? Why?

>muh safe space

Everyone completely forgot about Global Agenda that pretty much had everything OW has except maybe Tracers abilities. Global Agenda 2 was canceled to develope Paladins.

>le ebin captain reddit.gif

kys

WHAT ARE THE HORSES FOR?

To go sanic speeds to objective.

WHY NOT JUST RUN THERE

THERES EVEN A CHARACTER WITH A DEDICATED RUN BUTTON THAT MAKES HIM GO AS FAST AS THE FUCKING HORSES

I remember it all started with destroying the enemies base, first you had to destroy the door or something like that, the payload at first was a tank that you could use to aggro the enemies defenses and you had to push it to avoid getting raped

Running takes to long, just take horse, it appeals to brony market.

Just because I'm not a filthy third worlder doesn't mean I have or want to give Blizzard my money.

Also, is Paladins better or worse than Battleborn?

Holy shit is that semen demon in the game?

I would fucking play it if she was

yes

Yes, much waifu bait.

And yet the paywall kept no one out.

They want to fast, but their legs are broken

I know that you've only seen dunkey video, but watch other videos or play the game. Maps are pretty big, going to the objective from spawn would take several minutes

She was in the closed beta, but not anymore. Dunno what happened to elf tats

she was removed, I think she-s being reworked or something like that, but she will be back

It doesn't have a profeminist director pushing his ideals in it with minorities and bull dyke women so better

global agenda was complete trash. I can't believe I wasted my money buying that when it wasn't f2p.

It's not even anywhere near OW, and the skills were not even close to the characters. It's also an mmo more than anything

Back when I played she was fucking broken and you lost if she was on the enemy team.

She had an ability to summon illusions of herself that would fly around. Not that bad on it's own, but the problem is those illusions could actually deal damage, were fairly tanky for being illusions (I think they had 1000 HP or so) and she could summon new ones every 6 seconds. Just by having her on the enemy team you were effectively fighting 7 on 5, and it was just too much to overcome that many people.

Being reworked. She's going to be back in the next patch.

Played it a few months ago and it was terrible. I mainly hated the card bullshit, just remove that altogether.
Also, mandatory:
youtu.be/s3KHTfYejr8?t=337

This was the original design for Paladins.
>Giant map with three capture points
>One random point activates
>Team captures the point to spawn the payload - a cannon that automatically trundles itself towards the enemy base
>Team must escort the payload and break down three gates - two doors and the base's vault door
>Defenders must destroy the payload to stop the push
>If the payload is destroyed, there's a short lull before another random capture point activates
>Repeat until a team's vault is cracked open to win
>Cards were randomly drawn from your deck to give you assorted buffs to your abilities

>elfslut a best
But kinessa isn't a slut or an elf.

the nuclear family is kill, user.
Schedule a cohabitation ceremony with your nonbinary androgyfriend and adopt some genetically superior Somalian babies.

haha I sure hate niggers too, fellow aryan!

Barik feels fucking useless.

What's different now?

Why is Drogoz jump so awkward, like movement in general can feel clunky in this game but this is probably the worst one.

>people can't afford OW so they play this game and defend it to the death.
>call OW shit, then play this game
Man, I wonder how the community will be. All the little kids that can't afford to pay 40 dollars will be playing this. Not to mention, hi-rez

>to keep out dumb third worlders
Now that isn't that a funny joke
Too bad it didn't, and the non third worlders are just as shitty and obnoxious as the third worlders

I wasn't expecting Kinessa to grow on me as much as she has, and now I love her. I want to get her Outlaw costume.

Unlike the other tanks, Barik's shield is stationary and doesn't follow him around. His personal mitigation is kinda bad. That doesn't stop him from being able to hold a point if he can point his shield in the right direction and his team is at his back.

Drogoz is literally the least fun soldier clone ever

Self aware? The producer flipped his shit when accused of it.

How about the literal copy ported to mobile?

Paladins doesn't look fun at all.

Now, it's multiple smaller maps. You capture the point for one point, and you push the payload to the enemy base for another point. If the defenders stop the push, they score a point. Defenders cannot win the game, so they must successfully capture a point or a push a payload for their final point. First team to four points wins.

Drogoz is Pharah: he has a rocket launcher and a jetpack. One of his skills immediately gives him extra height. Unlike Pharah, he doesn't have a missile salvo ult. Instead, he has a kamikaze rocket punch that immediately kills anyone he collides with.

>cap the point to spawn the cart before enemy team
>get a point
>they barely defend it
>they get a point
>you're now drawing despite your team being better

Dumb system. Also fuck locked characters and not being able to switch.

Skye is pretty OP from what I've heard. Her ultimate just ruins anything in a 5 mile radius.

>Game already has bots to inflate player count

Paladincucks can NOT defend this

>worse map design
Finally, sometime sees this. Most of the maps are designed to fit only some characters while others can't do their thing because the map completely fucks them. In overwatch, just loke tf2 maps are made with all of the characters in mind.

It's free, try it out and maybe you'll like it.

I remember the mode where you had only one life and had to capture a point before a with a wall of death slowly creeping to that point, battle-royale style
It was so fucking retardedly imbalanced I had to ask myself whether the guys that added it in played it at all or not

>1 Hero Limit
>in a game where more than half the characters are locked to start off
>no hero switching
Hell if you're gonna copy OW, go all the way

Also a simpler communication wheel would do wonders
Nobody has time to press two separate keys halfway across the keyboard just to say anything

Everyone plays against bots till level 5

Its kinda retarded

not OP but still can answer that
>small map with just 1 point to capture and 2nd to move cart from point one
>no random points
>payload never moves by itself
>no gates only 2 points
>defenders can't damage cart they can only stop payload by standing near it or killing enemies pushing that
>same as ^
>same ^^
>you can make deck before game, and if you don't have any cards you will get default deck for any character

RUINED dead gaem

Skye naturally excels at hit-and-run. She has two sources of stealth, poison darts that make her regular darts hit harder, and a time bomb ult she plants at her feet that deals MASSIVE damage in a healthy radius. Nothing clears a point faster than a Skye ult.

The VGS system was ported from SMITE. It's very comprehensive.

steam doesn't add bots to the player count user

The difference is SMITE is a MOBA

>grinding forever for a random legendary
>meta decks and basically every character was broken
>could buy chests with gold
>use Bucks wall to lock in your teammates
>fucking chanilighting and Pip throwing aids bombs
>Evie could fly to places nobody else could reach and spawn a million illusions
>need the entire team to kill Fernando on the point
>Skyes bomb was just a normal ability
It was fun in a way.

Instead of a deck from which you draw random cards, you now have a premade set of five cards as your "loadout," which can buff your abilities in different ways. You can set up multiple loadouts and choose one at the start of the game.

You also have "burn cards," which are mid-match upgrades you buy using the in-match currency you earn from getting kills or completing objectives.

It looks awful and I don't trust Hi-Rez with anything after they through Tribes and Global Agenda under the bus. At least I know TF2 and Overwatch will continue to be supported for years to come, where as this will probably be shot in the back of the head when Hi-Rex gets bored of it.

And Tribes is an FPS, that also had that system. It worked pretty good, if you know what you're doing.

this was much more interesting, why did they change it?

Because balancing the timers, the payload, the doors, and dealing with the nature of cards was extremely difficult, I gather.

Their design is worse though. Like it's all over the place.

>wanting to hang around niggers when black people are superior

I guess it would take some getting used to
I don't see myself using it very much however

>defend Overwatch and say its not an overwatch
Make no sense here. Either it's 'say it's not an TF2 clone" or "its not a ripoff" but saying "Overwatch is not an overwatch" is just some kind of typo

>f2p
Here's your answer.

What's their business model? Any info about that? I guess it'll be bunch of dumb skins but question is will there be a way to buy power?

>Overwatch for poor people

And here I thought Cred Forums's autismbucks at least let them buy games.

APOLOGIZE

If you've played smite it's exactly the same shit. Daily logins grant gold and day 6 and 7 grants you 50 premium currency per week if you keep logging in. Pricing is the same as smite too

Paladins gives you a few heroes for free; the assumption is that there will be a few baseline heroes everyone gets and then another few heroes on a rotation, just like SMITE. New champs, cards, and certain recolors can be purchased with gold (in-game currency), while the fancier cosmetics are purchased with crystals (cash currency). You can buy the founder's pack for a nominal fee, and it functions the same as SMITE's Ultimate God Pack: buy the game once, and you get all heroes for life (plus an exclusive mount and a bunch of chests).

Battleborn isn't even that bad gameplay wise. The unlock system is retarded and they tried to get into a marketing war with the king of marketing.

They sunk their own ship.

>Overwatch rips off TF2 completely

But this is just not true, you can say whatever you want but the games are very different.

While paladins is THE EXACT copy of overwatch,

Overwatch has mounts?

POST CASSIE

I just don't want to pay $40 for a game with so little content as OW. This one is free at least.

Because why make a somewhat original game where you can just make Overwatch: Latin America Edition

The game manages to have even less content than OW

> why did they change it

Because it would be too complex to appeal anyone that's not autistic.

>Buck used to have this cannon on his arm, supporting the fact that hes some Cybernetic Tibetan Dubebro Monk.
>replace that with a generic shotgun

it's just looks so out of place, it's very jarring.

>Have you played the most self aware copycat game yet

nah i dont like overwatch

Ask >>/mlp/

Is Battleborn dead? It seems to be much better than Paladins.

Cassie > Evie > Ying > Kinessa > Skye

They're here

The assault cannon was basically a shotgun, so they decided to give him a proper pump-action.

Does the game have lolis? One of the reasons I can't enjoy OW is because they're afraid of putting in young girls (going as far as aging 14-year-old D.VA to 18 years old), in fear of SJWs and Tumblrinas.

uhm, global agenda was basically planetside 2

it is very much dead, Battleborn just is a giant meme game on PC. It's much more active on PS4.

>Evie that high
Nah, fuck off.
Cassie = Kinessa > Ying > Evie > Skye

>ASSFAGGOTS game
>free2play

Looks like SOMEONE had more common sense than Gearbox did when they tried to slap a $60 pricetag on their butt-ugly moba and expected it to ACTUALLY compete with Blizzard

I have played it, and it's actually more fun than Overwatch

My only gripe with it is the card system. It feels like it's really just unnecessary fluff and is also confusing as shit with there being different cards for EVERY character.

I think the atmosphere needs work, but I'm glad it's not some cartoony game that tries to take itself seriously like Overwatch. I think Hi-Rez will redo the visuals until they get it right like they did with SMITE though. Just have to hope the ame stays alive until then.

no but there's great side boob and bellybuttons

why am i playing against bots on casual?

>[character] isn't [character's official age]! She's [age I prefer to fap to because i'm a stupid pedo fuck]! it's those damn dirty SJW boogeymen at it again!
>Legitimately can't enjoy a game because of something so stupid
end your're are live, squid.

Speaking of Chinese knockoffs

youtube.com/watch?v=bBV-5khUz78

The game really has that f2p feeling. It lacks mobility the way TF2 or even Overwatch have. I tried the sniper girl and her teleport ability feels a bit worthless since the map lacked verticality. It's just a very plain map with a few side routes. There's also this guy with perfect accuracy and a shitload of bullets in ironsights mode, who makes such snipers useless. He feels way too strong and you can stay there and shoot. It's probably because I only played like 10 games so far but I can't get a feeling of where the skill cap goes yet. Finally the netcode and game itself has this weird moba feeling to it with huge hitboxes and stuff that either feels too easy to hit with random moments of not knowing why you aren't hitting someone.

What does it do to make it known it's self aware

Sold

I hate them since they killed Tribes, this game had so much potential, but they just made a quick buck off of dlc and complete version or whatever, and shot it in the head. Despicable assholes

The game feels very HiRez. That is, a clear knock-off of something better, but still fun enough to sink a few hours into. Most likely, however, this will go the way of SMITE, in that they'll just start shoving skins and heroes every monthly patch, and never fix balance, making everything a huge mess for anyone who wants to try and playing it competitively.

SJWs love pedophilia, what you're thinking of is US law

>I think the atmosphere needs work, but I'm glad it's not some cartoony game that tries to take itself seriously like Overwatch.
This is true. Unlike Overwatch, Paladins doesn't take itself too seriously in-universe.

good taste user

I want to cum on Cassie's tummy

when??

I'm cumming now

Also much better movement and more mobile characters.

Characters have 4 skills instead of 3

The explosive classes actually require some precision to get big damage (although Ice witch has a boost to get point blank and blow people up).

What was wrong with her that she was removed for "balance reasons"?

What did she do?

youtu.be/Yo2J_qYJvGU

Next patch. She's just taking a minor hiatus while her kit gets retooled.

I guess Overwatch style team shooter moba-esq games are the new mobas.

Not surprising, really.

She's getting changed from damage to a healer.

>Overwatch style

Can we not have this become a thing? Overwatch didn't even do anything it has first.

Hero shooters. They are called hero shooters.

>Overwatch with mounts
>This is enough to be considered original

Hero shooters have been en vogue for a while now, user. They're a legitimate subgenre now.

They pretty much change the card system every other major update, so I wouldn't be suprised if it changes around patch 38 or whatever.

>TFW playing that revolver guy
>does really fucking good damage
>has a reflect
>can fucking fly in the air and hover which gives huge mobility
>ult makes it into a death cannon even more so

This guy is fucking fun, I'm not even going to lie. It's so satisfying being able to have an actual meaty revolver that wrecks shit if you hit with it.

About to install this purely because of the girls

>TF2 with ultimates
>This is enough to be called original

Androxus is McCree + Genji done up to look like Reaper, and he's all the better for it.

You know damn well thats always a trap user. You can just go fap to real girls somewhere on the internet and then enjoy a better game when you arent wired for sex

paladins has been in closed beta for well over a year, overwatch came out in may.

>tf2 with waifus
>this is enough to be considered original

>play skye
>enemy has a sniper
>move across the map invis at sonic speed and headshot them from behind

copy cat of what? battleborn? obviously its not overwatch.

I fucking knew this would happen
There is a difference between a clone (GTA VS Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row) and LITERALLY making almost exact copies of character concepts and abilities

Are you talking about Overwatch or Paladins?

I know, but my penis craves it, and it calls the shots about 60% of the time

>>Hi-Rez rips off both Overwatch and TF2 at once
And the funny thing is that Overatch ripped off much of their characters' skills from Global Agenda, which is a game made by Hi-Rez

>Skye
>sneaking into the back line to unleash your ult

I get the feeling hers is more used for clearing a point rather than actual damage, like D.Va's ult
At least against real people and not just braindead bots I mean. I got an easy quad kill against em

So Tekken Tag is a bad game because you need to unlock characters?

Why are there no Melee weapons

I for one welcome any and all waifu developers. We are truly entering into a golden waifu age, especially with VR dating on the way

Actually doing things to unlock characters is fun
Grinding matches until you have enough coins to buy a character isn't.

>tekken tag

There used to be Grover but melee only characters don't work well in a fps. He's throwing his axe now. There is still the Makoas ult.

Overwatch was in beta for ages as well. What's your point?

So is eating shit straight out of a toilet

Global Agenda was amazing if you were in a good agency that did Agency vs Agency a lot. AvA was fun as hell. The PvE content was boring though, I agree.

Not him, but the grind is practically non-existent.

You can get enough gold to buy a hero in 3-4 games if you're winning., and not much more otherwise. The game dumps gold on you like crazy to the point where it's a wonder why everything isn't just unlocked anyways.

It only really works if they're very fast or have a boost to get in range.

Game is fun, but very barebones. Not bad for F2P, since you can buy a hero every couple games seeing how much gold you get.

>It seems to be much better than Paladins.

fucking kys you memlord

Overwatch isn't really moba-esque at all, but moba shooters have been a thing before Overwatch was even a thing.

Pretty fun but not much content.

They even copied the missing content from Overwatch.

...

>playing Russian Call of Duty guy
>start unloading on someone's face
>they just keep walking towards me trying to out dps me

I'm having more fun with this game than I ever did with Overwatch.

Is it me, or do the rounds feel kind of surreal in this game? It's as though they're satisfying and last long, but then they're only like 5 minutes in length.

Not sure what you're trying to insinuate with that pic. Most Moba shooters are literally that. They're Mobas with FPS/TPS controls. Complete with minion waves, towers to destroy and so on.

Blizzard still has fans? I thought their whole market was nerd culture shitheads with dr who stickers on the back of their minivans.

I forgot about smite. I thought everyone was still just mad over tribes. Did they dump smite for this?

No, they have 2 separate teams for both games. I play SMITE and just started playing Paladins now that it's on Steam. They jut finished like 4 different events for SMITE that were going on at once, and now the Odyssey is going on.

Buck is finally starting to warm to me. You have to appreciate goomba-stoming niggas in the head so you can get in range for your net shot and shotgun.

yes and no
They originally took every dev they had available to make Smite, then when they thought Tribes had a niche group of players they could milk, they sent some back. The homogenization of all classes made the game virtually 0 fun now

What character keeps turning me into this?

Pip's Ult.

Pip, that tiny faggot fox with the burst heal and the jumping bean skill which makes him even more obnoxious to it. Not to mention he shits out damage.

Because even though he's labled as a "support", he's not actually one. I liked the old lables much better.

Also the bird is the same one in smite

What about the character that is LITERALLY A GOD IN SMITE

Aren't all the characters in Smite gods? I thought that was the whole concept of the game.

Sylvanus is the god. Grover is just his mount, and he's going solo in Paladins.

The god isn't in paladins. Just his faggot tree.

Yes, I'm referring to him as a god the same way I would refer to characters in DotA as heroes
You know what I meant you ass

Official Paladins tier list:

Invisible bitch>Reaper guy>>Call of Duty>>>>Shield faggot>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Turtle

Quick update 1.1
Invisible bitch>Sniper Bitch>Reaper guy

Just finished a game with him, he's really fun

god damn, i'd take this over d'va ult anyday

Same thing happens with FFXIV. They'll spout off about how it's a WoW clone but if you mention that WoW is an EQ clone or that FFXI came before WoW they get ultra butthurt and go into denial.

they took her out of the game to redesign her mantle because of the underboob

will probably take a while but shes next fo sure

she's right here

Calling WoW an EQ clone is a bit of a stretch, considering that intially EQ was more like a traditional mmorpg (no character levels, instead you had to grind like 50 different skill categories). I mean WoW made the whole 1-50 linear levelling experience commercially successful, albeit be it through its IP.

you cant play her yet because shes being redesigned thats what ive said

WoW dev team was literally headed by ex-EQ raiders.

Battleborn was the first game.
Then Overwatch and Paladin copied Battleborn.

Blizzard had the privilledge to shill their game in WoW, Hearthstone, Diablo etc.

That's the reason why you think Overwatch is more than a Chinese copy (but in reality is was developed after Battleborn was announced and Titan was a failure).

It's like the "iPad". It was a copy from Microsoft, but most people didn't know that Microsoft was the first one with a portable touch screeen.

That's about as dumb as calling Atari hockey games Diablo clones, just because Blizzard south had done contract work. EQ and WoW were two very different games on release and that's what that image doesn't tell you, because I assume you're not old enough to know what a traditional mmorpg was.

I'm nearing 30 years old though. How about you?

So is this the game Hi-Rez abandoned Smite for?

A game called Spore would like a word with you.

>they took her out of the game to redesign her mantle because of the underboob
They took her out of the game to redesign her moveset. Her appearance has nothing to do with it.

How do you counter a fuckload of tanky?

Smite literally had a new patch this past tuesday.

>Her appearance has nothing to do with it.

Open the video about the CB33 feedback, they specifically talk there that removing Ying was done because a forum user voiced their opinion that the underboob was too sexually suggestive. Which is why that if you have paid for her skins, they were refunded in the process.

SMITE is nowhere near abandoned.

Wait until their shields are down, I guess. That or (preferably) make it a point to buy the Shieldbreaker burn card.

> a forum user voiced their opinion

One nobody on the forums managed to change the appearance of a character, give source or its bullshit. That's way too unbelievable.

Smite may not be dead but it's definitely going down the shitter.

elaborate?

People I knew who played aren't playing anymore.

>infinite crisis
>any moba share in 2016
>even though it completely shut down in aug
2015

okay

Fuck if I know how that chart works.

Bomb King, Pip, Evie

Shieldwrecker bomes worth it if it's tier2 or above, but it's probably better picking up the healing reduction thing instead.

Teams with 4 tanks are just impossible to beat, especially if they know what they're doing. Deploy Reinhardt shield, wait until it's either destroyed or gets on cooldown, deploy tjorbörn shield. Once that shield is down, Reinhardts shield is back up. If things get tricky, goblin D.Va just spams her AoE shield as well. All while Groot heals them.

It's really fucking dumb that you can't see the enemy picks, because all the heroes who counter that strat are situational and you'll most likely lose a game with them if it's not against a tank team.

Cassie's bow is fucking stupid. Easy as balls to hit with it, fast projectile, and she doesn't even have to charge it.

They might as well have just given her some kind of scopeless rifle.

>Scopeless rifle
That's pretty much exactly what it is.

>Cred Forums actually discussing and liking a shitty f2p rip off of a shitty game
You people are irredeemable hipsters.

I don't mind how it plays now, I think it's probably better but less original (because ya, Overwatch).

I'd like them to bring back that game mode though since they gutted the rest for just this fucking one and it's obnoxious.

Again, though, it was a nightmare trying to balance the doors, the payload, the timers, etc.

Hipsters would not play Paladins, they would play Battleborn. Hipsters dont play stuff other people like.

>10 cents have been deposited to your Blizzard Account

It was fun. Once. Back in closed beta.

Then they tore apart the card system, added Reapvolver, and decided to make Barik's turrets hitscan.

>tf2 kiddies think they copied just their precious tf2
>implying they didn't steal shit from a bunch of other games too
LMAO

Either HOtS is way overrepresented, or DotA2 is way underreperesented. No way HOtS has 1/2 of DotA2 playerbase

It doesn't matter how fun, you don't play it.

Nigger, did you even play EQ1?

It had character levels. It pretty much was just grinding from 1-50 for about 409042392043 hours

>a game costing inherently makes it better than a free game

Jesus Christ, I haven't seen such a retarded post in a while. At least one that wasn't ironic.

game is boring and clunky as fuck

>and decided to make Barik's turrets hitscan.
How the fuck does a non-hitscan turret work? Wouldn't it miss 90% of its shots if the projectile wasn't already so fast that it was basically already hitscan?

Let's try that

I'm liking her a lot but it's also just making me wish we had a character like it in Overwatch

Do the girls have fat asses like in OW tho?

This is very important.

Skye is the only one who makes it a point to show off her ass. Cassie hides her under spats and a short skirt, Kinessa wears baggy pants, and Evie and Ying both wear skirts.

The only modern shooter that doesn't apply to is TF2 and DOOM though.

This is literally the most retarded place on the entire internet.

That said, now that I take a closer look, Kinessa's ass is pretty great.

are you new?

They somehow manage to make the game look a lot worst than Smite, with shitter sound effects, particles, and maps. All of that while stealing OW characters almost 1:1.

No, but I keep thinking, it cannot possibly get more retarded. And then it does.

How the fuck do I play as Evie?
>her invincibility thing is also a slow for some reason

How am I supposed to use this effectively? Do I dash in, shoot once or twice or ult, then blink out?

Also her projectile is so slow. You practically have to go into peoples' faces to use it effectively.

Evie is the most mobile champ in the game, by a mile. Dash behind enemy lines and blow them away.

Shut the fuck up, you know what's wrong with this shitty piece of shit game.

compelling argument there, better stop enjoying this game and reinstall overbotch.

Of course you make it about overwatch. You're the hipster who hates it because it's popular.

plz don't try this in mass guys, i don't want hi rez patching my accidental free heroes away

the troll shaman dude is too fun

>infinite crisis

oh boy

>point out that all of the content is copy pasted from League/Dota
>LOL... I bet you're one of the people who think Battlefield is the same as CoD LOL... enjoy your crap game we'll be enjoying ours

If that were the case, I'd be playing battleborn.

I have Overwatch, got bored of it, and am enjoying this over it because the gameplay is better even if some of their characters do copy from Overwatch (which also copied from TF2 and Global Agends).

I have no clue why people would whine over or force themselves to play a game they're not enjoying. Or think that just because one costs money, it automatically plays better than another.

just wait for Sombra

>Have to explain to Ruckus that he's our team's tank
>Still actively runs away from the point and fights from the backline
IT SAYS FRONTLINE WHEN YOU PICK HIM
WHERE DOES IT SAY "HIDE BEHIND CASSIE"?

Which board has more hipsters, Cred Forums or Cred Forums?

Cred Forums is just raging autists

/fa/
I also don't see why people are trying to say if you don't like Overwatch you're a hipster. The game isn't fucking Blizzard's second coming of Jesus.

That's good, right?

>They're removing the ability to blink while in the ice block as Evie in the next patch
Why? I mean I get that she's really strong right now, but that is literally the only thing ice block has going for it. Nobody ever actually gets hit by the slow naturally, and using ice block without blink, or while it's on cooldown is an active hindrance to yourself, and will likely get you killed.

I mean, there's the mediocre heal you can spec into, but that barely heals for anything even at max rank and still doesn't solve the problem that using ice block puts you in.

I honestly think she should just lose ice block for some kind of charge shot that slows. Blinking with it looks stupid, although it is an effective stalling mechanism for your blink, and then the slow really is pretty useless.

I started playing because of all the controversy. I'm a Skye main already. :^)

Being able to blink while already fully invincible is crazy. A good Evie is impossible to kill because she's impossible to catch. This change would reinforce that the ice block is a panic button, presumably while you wait for the rest of your kit to come off cooldown.

I wonder how gearbox feels now that people are more receptive to this blatant ripoff and their million dollar trashgame is left in the dumpster.

Alright I'm going to do it

I'm going to ignore my massive backlog again and jump into the newest meme game

I'm probably going to have a shitload of fun too

I played a match or two. It's "fun" but not as fun as OW/TF2, and not as complex as either.

>so I have literally no idea how she fairs
how she fares*

Except that you will get obliterated by whoever made you use it in the first place the moment it goes down because even blinking isn't instant and Evie is made of glass.

The cards and in-game upgrade system alone make it more complex than Overwatch. And seeing as how everyone says the characters are 1:1 carbon copies (although they're not, they do have elements of other OW characters mixed in), that pretty much takes away the argument about the complexity in gameplay.

TF2 definitely has it beat though. The hundreds of weapons, maps, modes and character specific mechanics that depend on the maps make it more complex for sure.

Bomb King buffs when? What's the point of having sticky bombs if the blast radius is smaller than the model. If you don't directly hit somebody with one it might as well have vanished into thin air.

I had fun back when it was at the E3 bundle, but I heard they made it even more like Overwatch in a patch so I'm afraid to go back in.

I only played it for a short time during the beta. Only ting I noticed is that they changed the mounts so that you only use them out of spawn instead of them having a cooldown. I personally like it because being able to just run at mach speed any time you wanted was dumb.

>Paladin
>Satisfying gunplay
How about no
Also the card system fails to actually suit your play style as it is defined by the character you are playing.

I don't know about you, but wrecking bitches with Revolver Reaper is pretty satisfying.

Where are the furry girls?

None yet.

Some people are saying that between his mobility and ult and regular damage, Androxus hits a little too hard. Why would you pick Buck over Androxus?

I would say the self sustain between his cards and his skills, Buck hits hard too and has to pretty much get in the same range as him.

The better question is why would you pick Buck over Grover?

Androxus can snipe okay with his revolver. Buck's shotgun is garbage, and he has to get in practically melee range to hit anything.

>Also much better movement and more mobile characters.

lol movement feels like stiff shit in Paladins. Everything about it feels cheap and poor.

You know that ability card that lets you shield bust?

TRY BUYING THAT INSTEAD OF BUYING A MEASLY 5% DAMAGE INCREASE YOU SHITTER!

THE COUNTERBUILD CARDS EXIST FOR A REASON SO THAT YOU CAN COUNTER CHAMPION STACKING!

the amputator is an unlockable melee weapon for the medic; when alt-fire is used, the medic uses his taunt, and all allies near him heal, instead of the medic focusing on one target at a time.

It's not underpowered, just underused because the Ubersaw is 100% better than anything except maybe the vita-saw

They're letting BR shitters play the game now.

It feels exactly like all the other shooters. This "clunky movement" meme makes no sense.

You're underestimated and downplaying Blizzdrones.

They're a numerous bunch.

You know that's not an official statement, right? Plus the video itself is filled with bias. He pointed out the 2 similarities (the capture points and payload which are both from TF2 anyway, and the hook) and talked about how characters in an FPS have guns, gasp!

>WAHHH THIS GAME IS COPYING OVERWATCH
>but here are differences
>WAHHH WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST COPY OVERWATCH SO I CAN ACCUSE THEM OF COPYING OVERWATCH

its called fun user, I know it-s a rare thing to feel nowdays

Demoknight is incredibly fun, especially with eyelander. I wish they would balance it so you would have to go full demoknight instead of faggily using the grenade launcher... booties seems UP now

Wait, they changed his primary to only an axe throw? What happened to his swing?

>game is fully voiced in chinese
>f2p model
>self-published
>lots of waifus

This shit is asking to be bought out by PWE.

So now FPS pseudoASSFAGGOTS are the new thing?

I wonder how people cope with such a shitty art direction, but then again there are those who think WoW armor sets are beautiful.

Why is it such a hard concept for people to grasp that you have to walk onto the objective for it to move?

Literally how is this legal in the U.S.? It's so completely a knock off I'm surprised there didn't leave in voice lines and texture from copying + pasting the code. the capture points, the payload, opening crates, the fucking short guy with the turret, and not to FUCKING mention the "European that does mostly melee with a huge sword thing". Does Blizzard have no shame? Is Valve going to do anything about this?

Subtle

I have a thing for whimsical generic fantasy.

Felt like a very unpolished chink knockoff of Overwatch.
Graphics, UI, etc. even the gameplay felt weightless.

Holy shit the game is awful. You have like 2500 hp but every attack does between 300 and 1000 damage.
I remember earlier in the early access you'd have to know how your skills worked and you'd actually get in a firefight with people. This is like playing call of duty, whoever sees the other person first wins every time.

>implying Blizzard's shitty animations have any weight

Doom 4 and and Killing Floor 2 seem to be the only recent shooters with "weight."

I guess Gears 4 too, but that's a TPS.

Is this the game where one of the nu-male devs whined that the director wanted him to design beautiful girls?

You got my interest

Are you just making that up or are you gonna try and find a source?

I have no idea where I read it. But I'm sure it was about Paladins. I thought maybe someone knew more.

Then it means nothing to us. Hi-Rez is pretty shameless about its cute girls.

It's very fun. The game feels smartly designed, and except for OP abilites (Skye comes to mind; literally the spy on crack, hirez nerf you fucks), seems like everything was thought of. Instead of using one team slot for a teleporter class or having to use mobile characters, the horse mechanic seems very well thought out; makes getting to the frontlines faster(even faster if you care to spend credits on it) while keeping characters slow normally.

One thing is that it's, from my experience, entirely skill based. No dogshit R-P-S countering. There are 4 types of roles, each class plays differently, and you can edit card decks to play even more specifically. Not one class counters the other, except Kinessa against Fernando for obvious reasons; and even then he can rush out of sniper sightlines with his rush.

My complaints are that once you dismount you become a lot more slower. I don't have specifics but everybody is about the speed of a TF2 soldier. I know viktor can run but it feels weird leaving that to one character.

And I think that the price of classes is too hefty; I think it'll fit better at 3000 or 3500 gold. The game seems grindy when you have a goal, but if you just play a few matches getting an item is pretty easy, assuming those mataches went well. But it is annoying having to do it.

When Gigantic releases, it will kill Overwatch, Paladins, TF2 and every other game.

youtube.com/watch?v=IJCAKJ9fz4I

I certainly hope so.
I also hope it comes out with Roland. I need that bastard back in my life.

Which character in this game is the zarya copy?
How many waifus does this game have?
Are any of them high tier?

From some video on BB, OW, and champions there are reviews on a site called "glassdoor" in which employees review their company. There was a lot of bad reviews on Hirez. One talked about being upset that the CEO would hypersexualize the female characters, which is true; every single girl in the game is waifu-trash. Boy are they beautiful though.
furry trash

I have and I actually enjoyed myself. I was surprised I played it for about 4 hours straight the night before.
My only issues with the game is that there's barely any maps, matches can go on way too long, you can't change your hero in-match, some heroes are blatently OP like Skye and the sniper woman and the servers can be very unstable and laggy if lots of people are on.

Bomb King best girl.

Kinessa maybe? she's not a beefcake but she probably works out. If you're talking about gameplay, I'm not sure about that one.
Every girl in the game is a waifu. 5, I think.

>matches can go on way too long
Are you joking me? Each round lasts, at most 3 minutes; so there's like 9 minutes matches. I've spent longer on 10 rounds of cp_powerhouse than I have playtime on this game currently + predicted hours this coming week, easy.

Well it feels like they drag on anyway.

>Believing the HotS is dead meme

It's because you traverse around the map so quickly, die quickly, and get back to battle quickly, which I like. My bigest gripe with when I played Overwatch was that you would die and then walk snail's pace to the objective, with the only way to be faster was for a Lucio boost or Symmetra's ult.

In Paladins, I think it's just so fast that it feels like you've died a dozen times before one single round ends.

I like that they're basically turning the game into the F2P Overwatch alternative you can get through Steam. It's actually a smart move.
Plus it's also got more furry bait characters which Overwatch lacks which some people will really like.

came for the furry boipucci, stayed for the brown goddess

The longest matches - the real drag-out slugfests to push the payload the final few inches - only go upwards of 20 minutes total.

Kinessa is Widowmaker, if you traded the grappling hook for a personal teleporter and some slowing mines. And also, if you made her a lot less bitchy.

I need a silver hair skin

There it is. Thank you. The CEO is keeping it real.

She's fucking annoying is what she is, which is I guess her whole existence.
I love how the ice witch is basically Mei almost completely and Bomb King is Junkrat if his primary bombs were remote and if the ulti was himself and not a tire.

She does have the long range, but that doesn't mean she can't softly rape like zarya

>I love how the ice witch is basically Mei almost completely
She's nothing like Mei beyond the ice cube.

Sheflies around and teleports and uses a slow wand.. Her ult doesn't even freeze people like Mei's.

Paladins currently has five waifus, all of relatively high quality.
>Cassie, the young archer girl.
>Skye, the elf ninja heartthrob.
>Evie, the manic and selfish (and technically immortal) ice witch.
>Kinessa, the down-to-earth bounty hunter.
>Ying, the pure and demure elf who creates illusions of herself.

>I love how the ice witch is basically Mei almost completely
>Has one ability shared
Damn if that's all it takes, I guess we've gone full circle because Mei is basically just Ymir.

Every single champion, hero and class is a rip off of the pyro

My main problem with the game is that the other champs cost too much free currency to unlock, so you gotta grind tons of games. At least you earn a bit more free currency a game then you do in League though I guess.

I wanna try out the ice witch, the tribal orc and the armadillo man.

>armadillo man
Who?

The one with the anchor and cannon that has Roadhog's hook.

That's Makoa. He's a sea turtle.

When are we gonna get a turtimos skin for Makoa?

Whatever he is then I wanna play him.

Don't forget he also has Winston's ult.

Winston wishes his ult was as good as Makoa's. Winston's ult is a fucking joke on everything but KotH.

DONT YOU

FORGET ABOUT ME

DONT DONT DONT DONT

People who can't stop crying over this game are big babies.

Love Overwatch, even so I still play TF2 everynow and then and Dirty Bomb as well. so I'll give this game a shot too. it's free so why not heh

I still have Dirty Bomb on my machine. Haven't played that in a while.

>self aware copycat
we call that blatant plagiarism

such obvious same

If paladins doesn't censor shit like "gg ez" then I already have LOADS of respect for it for not pandering to the sjw and pussy redditor crowd.

hi-rez would never do that, they love memes

Kill yourself, my man.

>
It'd hi-rez, if anything she's coming back with side boob too.

Then he'll I might give this game a chance. I would never even touch overwatch, I can smell the hug box environment from a mile away. Fuckin LoL 2.0

If a clone manages to lack content, then it's an accurate clone of the other game - because overwatch also lacks content.

Then why don't you walk to the battle without one, see how well that works out for you

Well, I tried it. It was ok, but that carriage escort is shit.

just tried it myself, its nice to pass the time, I'll keep playing along with overwatch, dirty bomb and tf2 too
