>Overwatch full of shitters
so Overwatch?
paying money doesn't make those retards smarter

It's made by hi-rez? Shit I thought it was some blatant chinese shameless knock off.

It's alright.

Fun to play but feels slow as fuck.

>trusting Hirez

So literally Overwatch?

We're not falling for your viral marketing team and botting. Take your shitty freemium title back to phones where it belongs.

Cheap Overwatch
but pretty much yeah.

Was expecting it to be garbage but it's not that bad to be honest.

Literally free Overwatch and your surprised at the amount of players?

>Zero Marketing

It's being talked about for being such a blatant Overwatch clone. I'd say that's plenty of marketing.

Overwatch then?

Honestly, the only standard for fast paced MP FPS is quake.

Also all of these shit-posts are clearly paid shills.

There's no good reason to play this game over Overwatch if you're not a third-worlder.

>Hirez fucks up Tribes and dumps it for SMITE
>Hirez fucks up SMITE and dumps it for Paladins

Guess what happens next
Don't be a contrarian

It just feels much slower than Overwatch

Everything from characters, weapons, objective.

Not that Overwatch is fast paced.

I played this for the first time like 7 hours ago. I had no idea what was going on, what I was doing or what my abilities did, if anything.

My team won the point and failed the push twice, and then we won. I have no idea if I contributed or not, or if getting 7 kills without dying as that guy with the shield and flamethrower is good or not, because I had literally 3 times as much HP as anyone else on my team. I don't really know if I like the game. It was okay. I hate all the aesthetics of the characters and the game in general, and I saw a horrifying glimpse into the dark abyss of P2W at the end when I opened that chest you get and got stat changing stuff.

I'm really conflicted about this game but hate the more ASSFAGGOTS elements like buying items at spawn. I think if I'm going to play a meme game like this I'll just get Overwatch, but that means I have to spend money.

Overall I think I'd rather not and say I did.

It's ftp, so everyone who isna poorfag will give it a go. Poorfag pop us pretty big

It's not bad. I bought the $13 pack because I don't want to spend $40 on Overwatch and Blizzard never drops the prices on their games. Currently played about ~10 hours and waiting a few weeks for more patches before I play more. The servers are sometimes instable, and the hitboxes on a lot of things are bugged. I think Hi Rez will be able to keep this one running for awhile too. They only drop games that aren't completely profitable, and I think they have a better handle on how to use the Unreal Engine and market their games now. Global Agenda and Tribes were their first two games, both fun, but both had issues.

>0 marketing

He doenst know about those android ads

Free game gets alot of brazilians and russians.

"WOOO GEE I GUESS Cred Forums WAS WRONG HUH GUIS XDDDD"

Game is a cancer magnet and will get dropped for the next hi-rez quick scam

Here's your answer

what happened to smite?

And tribes was not profitable for them whatsoever, Erez was paying out of pocket to keep the game running longer than it should have

Sorry to hear about your third-worlder status poorfag.

Nothing happened. Smite is extremely successful for them. Still the best option for a MOBA on a console (it's far above Paragon), and it is still pretty fun. I still play every once in awhile.

Nothing has happened, people still bitter about Tribes will tell you that it's dead.

I don't mind this game or OW.

I think I like the characters in Overwatch more though

Just judging from some gameplay the core gunplay seems very shitty. Like as bad if not worse than Battleborn.

Reminds me of that Chinese Overwatch knockoff.

LITERALLY the poor mans Overwatch

But they didn't dump Smite. Smite is their most profitiable game they ever worked on.

But yeah, that doesn't mean they aren't fucking it up like you said by adding too many game modes, splitting up the base, listening to Reddit for everything which means they overbuff or overnerf some characters/items, and adding the scum of the Earth, Latin American players.

Just enjoy Paladins for now cause it's obvious they will fuck it up within the next year.

>A popular youtuber made a video about this game
>No marketing

>Hi-Rez falls for the FPS meme and buys out the tribes title and makes it great then fucks it up because they want to jump on the next band wagon
>Make a generic "MOBA" title and makes it decent enough that it's an okay title
>fucks it up again and now is jumping on the Overwatch cloning bandwagon
Hi-Rez is a bunch of hacks jumping on the things that make loads of money.
The only reason this game has players is because of the poorfags who couldn't afford overwatch or afford the neat skins.
The game sucks because it's Hi-Rez.
I don't support Blizzard either.

>P2W at the end when I opened that chest you get and got stat changing stuff.
You can get any card in just 3 games, they are basically free.

>First start the game
>Play as Furry Demoman
>Go on a 35 elimination streak

Third worlders. Same people who make up 80% of Dota 2.

>even the fucking main website is a ripoff of overwatch's
CAN'T

MAKE

THIS

SHIT

UP

This went right.

So how do I get good as Bomb king?

You spam that annoying as fuck stun

Again, Hi-Rez are a bunch of hacks that just make games that suit the current video game trend.
All of their games are just obvious late bandwagons to current video game trends.
None of them games have any standing after a couple of years.
Global Agenda? Dead
Tribes: Ascend? Dead
SMITE? Will die soon.
Paladins? Give it 2-3 years.

Hahaha no marketing. We spent more than half our budget on marketing.

feels slow as fuck because the aiming skill ceiling is even lower than overwatch
hitboxes are huge and unpolished, so maps are bigger to compensate

>Dunkey makes video intending to shit on the game for being an Overwatch clone
>people decide to look more into it
>notice it's free
>can now play Overwatch for free instead of paying $40

sniping in that game is a total joke

>The absolute state of Battleborn right now

yeah it's a complete joke hahaha

>Thousands of poor people get sour grapes since they can't play Over watch
>Free version comes out, all these poor pepole will flock to the game

>overmeme with horses

Even Battleborn is more original than this pile of shit...

Why are there so many TF2 clones all of a sudden? when will the MOBA meme die

>Don't be a contrarian

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

nothing, the previous poster is a salty Tribes faggot. Smite is making HiRez bank, both for themselves and e-sports. Sure it isn't the same playerbase as LoL or Dota, but that is to be expected. Just ignore the "SMITE IS DED!!!111!!" meme. 10/10 it is a butthurt tribes faggot that hates hirez forever or some kiddo who sucks at mobas in general.

and this

Nothing. The user's a retard who doesn't play either.

Hi-Rez still updates and already has a calendar for SMITE throughout the rest of the year.

People on Cred Forums can't seem to comprehend a company having separate dev teams.

The horses are fucking retarded, holy shit

SMITE PLAYERS JOIN . GOT EMAIL WITH REWARDS FROM SMITE TO PLAY THIS GAME . IM ENJOYING IT SO FAR user

yeah yeah it's free overwatch alright

but does it have chubby and muscular waifus?

it's literally all i care about i don't have overwatch and i want to pick this up

Wtf I hate Paladins now

This has to be the only f2p game I've seen shilled this much on Cred Forums. I know you really really want to stick it to Blizzard but I'm pretty sure this isn't the game to do it.

>Why are there so many TF2 clones all of a sudden?
It's not going to stop here. This will be a hot trend for a little while. "Shooter with varying degrees of MOBA elements" is just beginning.

>implying overwatch isnt full of shitters

>implying overwatch isnt a balant clone of TF2

ayyy lmao

thicc

I tried out the beta once, because I got in, one day before overwatch open beta and it seemed fun enough.
But now I feel obligated to keep playing overwatch, since I've paid for it and all my friends are playing it

Any more?

Is Grover fun?

So you're saying Hi-Rez is Blizzard, but with less drones?

Also SMITE is at least original compared to HotS, especially the amount of effort put into characters and skins.

>Dunkey makes video about Paladins
>"It's total Overwatch ripoff, guise!"
Not surprising, given that Dunkey shills OW pretty hard

Some are over 3MB, like this one was.

Free to play.
Its been out for a few days and people are trying it out, myself included. Player retention is the metric you should be looking at. Give it a month and see how many people are still playing it.

Have a tough brown girl.
And direct links to all of the official site's webms.

>Less drones
I take it you haven't been on Cred Forums the past few days.

Throwing an axe across the map and chunking someone for 75% of their health is pretty fun.

>TF2 clones

What are you fucking talking about? This whole post reeks of fucking stupid.

Thanks. Girls are cute, but I can't say I really like any of the designs that much.

Ying was the last "original" idea they had and she was just a retooled version of old Evie.

but if overwatch is a tf2 clone, and paladins is a free overwatch clone, why aren't people just playing tf2?

...

it has aged
also hats and furries/bronies

I don't give two fucks about your shitty (f2p) Overwatch clone.

Post the qts.

it's still the same game. it gets mundane after a while

>only redeeming thing about the game is the cute girls
>Even battleborn has more porn

Only "qt" is the token furry, though

>zero marketing
>pop up advertisement when you open steam
fuck off Scholmo Goldshillstine

What the fuck happened?

It's old as fuck now, people want a newer game. Why valve haven't announced a tf3 I have no fucking clue. I guess hats are easier to make.

You play with bots until you reach level 5.

>too stupid to turn off the pop-ups

yea stick to overwatch sub-human retard

money and drugs

If you compare it to the Overshill threads that were going on for months before and after the game came out of beta, I'd say no.

i just wish the matchmaking wasnt broken.

there are enough players but it always puts me against bots.

please tell me the right one is the current model

>Call a game "Paladins"
>There are no fucking Paladins

mei

widowmaker

hanzo

junkrat

symmetra

>what went right?
sexy girls with big breasts and asses

You play against bots till level 5, then it stops.

you're wrong on every single one

this
its the only reason i tried the game a couple months ago. It was alright, that balance was shit. And the people/ foreign fucks who play it were complete shitters

>call a game "inside"
>you are outside, most of the game

>stealth hero with poison and a crossbow is junkrat
literally what the fuck am I reading

There's even a massive junkrat/demoman ripoff in Bomb King, so who knows what this nigga is on

> Overcucks will trying to rationalize their purchase

Yes, the right one is the new one. That one on the left must be some toaster alpha model.

...

It's fucking free to play, even Evolve had 20k players
It's dead again now

Nope, right was the original model, left was their attempt to "update" her to the current style but everyone hated it so they dropped it

That wasn't the point of the video user, watch again

And sold.

The tum-tum game in Overwatch is pretty lacking.

Are you saying Blizzard abandons games quickly? The company that updated Diablo 2 recently and is still regularly updating Diablo 3, which got shit on pretty hard when it came out? They have problems but come on now.

>inb4 drone

because tf2 has always been trash

you have d.va, symmetra and tracer tum-tum what else do you want?

>known to make their games as casual as possible and balancing always revolving around making the game easier for $60+

I'll stick with f2p where the worst that can happen is I stop playing

I'm glad this exists because brazilians, bronies and other kinds of poorshits will stick to this.

A waifu with a seemingly mong-eye. Talk about muh diversity hahahaha

pick heroes with speed augmenting skills

And Hi-Rez has supported SMITE for about 4 or so years now.

>set connection limit to usa and canada IPs only
no more shit skins, no problem

Cancerous poorshits can still connect.
Sorry, but that's the reason I abandoned TF2, and why I won't try this out.
All F2P games have horrible communities.

that was quick

isnt that the templar assasin from dota? Or whatever she was called

I will never, ever get involved in a free to play game again. The paywall keeps the lowest common denomiator out

>No crouch button
dropped

>implying

people are scum at every social-economic level

the scummy people who have 60 dollars to spend however buys drugs instead. not video games

i can find a thousand videos on youtube of cancerous toxic shitters on overwatch constantly berating and insulting other player on their team over voice chat over the tiniest of mistakes, you cant escape cancer in any game

>implying they can't buy both

you must be poor or something

if you think crouching is good in games like paladin or over watch then you havent played enough, if youre stopping to crouch behind a box then youre already dead because a hero who can fly into the air will just blast your head off because youd be a sitting duck

there is far less in overwatch then dota

>cancerous toxic shitters on overwatch constantly berating and insulting other player on their team over voice chat over the tiniest of mistakes

I'm not even talking about that, anyone who gets triggered because they insult him in a game online instead of replying with ''lol u mad'' and ignoring them is a fucking pussy who should stay away from videogames in general.

>unironically using ''toxic''
Kill yourself.

With cancer i'm talking about furshits, about bronies, about the kids who play it just because it's free and they don't know how their mommy's credit card works.
TF2's community died when it went F2P.

>tribes was not profitable for them whatsoever

Tribes was okay until private servers split the playerbase, but it was even better before the gameplay changes like the nitron nerf and the speed limit; not to mention the broken as shit jackal and plasma gun.

The nail in the coffin was dumping huge amounts of money trying to turn it into esports after they completely fucked the gameplay and map design, and the marketing was terrible. THEN they jumped to smite and blamed everything on the playerbase

Current tribes plays nothing like T:A, and the new class system is just an all around worse version of T2. Nothing left of the game

Bomb King is really just a Demoman ripoff, although Junkrat is too.

>All F2P games have horrible communities.
I've seen way worse in SC2 than Dota, Smite, and post-F2P TF2, and none of them have great communities.

>getting toxic about people calling things toxic
>implying furries weren't around pre-F2P

it's fucking free is why, poorfags overwatch, literally

>getting toxic about people calling things toxic
Kill yourself, and all the pussified faggots that get whiny when they make fun of how bad you are at playing the game.
This is why bullies should still be a thing, they makes scrawny nerds man up, but now, we have people crying when they tell them they suck at a game.

No no user. I don't want to crouch to take cover.

>getting even more toxic about being called out for being toxic

Yeah, we need crouching to look at asses easier.

autism

>what went right?
It's a free to play shooter.
Overwatch for poorfags.

Yes, they censored her cuteness and made her a slut so they wouldn't upset goobergate with too many cute, virgin "Mary Sues".

Holy shit , they are not even hiding it , the abilities are a literal carbon copy , the animations are a carbon copy , the website is a carbon copy , the fact that you buy chests or get them when you level up.
How shameless can you be.

>0 marketing
>forced Northernlion and probably a bunch of other streamers to shill for it
>it was so shit that NL dropped it after his contract was up

Nice try HiReztard.

...

This game will never be as successful as Overwatch because Overwatch has more creative and recognizable waifus. All of Paladins' waifus look really generic.

I fell in love the moment I saw Tracer. The Paladins girls are pretty, but they just don't have that focus-tested OOMPH factor.

So is Cassie's "bow" a rifle or a sideways crossbow, or what..?

>Half naked female
Dropped

>long stockings covering most of her legs, but stomach visible
>half-naked

Pyro

Sniper

Sniper

Demoman

Engineer

I don't even know how people can defend this blatant rip-off. Every single thing in this game, Blizzard ripped from TF2 first. Is Hi-rez officially dead? Blizzard should honestly sue.

Really, aren't they all just Sniper?

Global Agenda was Hi-Rez ripping off TF2 back in 2010.

hi-rez must be making the tribes ascend, global agenda, and smite login buttons just launch paladins

youre an idiot.

>blizard should sue for these character tropes that aren't original and for abilities that aren't original either

Maybe Valve should sue Blizzard for making a Dota-like game when they own Dota.

it was a joke my dude

>literally just check the reddit sub's front page every hour or so
>get pretty much all of the free shit
>unlocked buck and evie for free because of the giveaways
>got the tf2 skin too so I don't have to listen to the dwarf shriek
game's really good too, honestly made me want to play TF2 again

skye is op as hell

>People prefer Overwatch over Paladins
>People prefer HotS over Dota 2
Disgusting.

Ying's getting a new face.

I thought the face mask was pretty QT.

Is this the final model or is there still hope.

They're probably going to update more stuff like I expected. The have a tendency to redo stuff for some reason.

How would I know? Just have to whine about it on ribbit or something.

Does roadhog count?

Here ya'll go
reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/53qhq6/skin_codes_compilation_for_sep_20th/

All the female designs are busty, but they're also all super duper generic.

They kinda just like MMO characters.

Little to no waifu potential.

he says while posting samus

>can't paste to redeem codes

Is there some site where I can redeem shit?

>If you see Skye on enemy team, you must pick a deck with a card that reduces damage of DoTs by 50%
Someone somewhere thought this is good design

Agreed. Not only is it bland, but it's unbalanced in a class shooter like this. TF2 made sure to have very different body types so even if the models had no color you could tell who was who. With all the explosions, lasers and that fucking smoke bomb piece of shit it gets somewhat hard to differentiate.

yay

Just saw a bit of gameplay and the systems requirements. it is literally poor man's overwatch, the character are super alike, but them again overwatch characters are base on pre-established character concepts that have been around in Assfaggots for a long time, so it is not really that surprising.

Ill give this game a shot since my current notebook cant play overwatch for shit
