Paladins (no actual paladins)

the game is called paladins but none of the characters are actually paladins, closest you get is fernando and hes a spic.

...

Why is she so perfect bros?

Overwatch player here. Is paladins any good? I liked Tribes (originally).

Her hero portrait does her no justice.
Then again, none of them do

Its not any better

...

It's free.

Eh, it's ok for a free game

Prefectly broken

In essence it's pretty much the same. Read: mediocre.
But it doesn't cost 40 bucks and only take around 3GB of hard drive space. Also dev-endorsed The Waifu.

It's okay.
It's free, well optimized, has nice art direction and some heroes like the ice witch are super fun to play.

user, I have bad news he's the worst in the game, no I'm not kidding.

Kinessa has 2K HP, but she can teleport away with increased movement speed and heal after the teleport, as well as putting mines to slow people around it.

She's perfectly overpowered.

Slightly better than Overwatch but you can tell that it's a fucking beta.

Because she's a filthy lewd slut and knows it.

He He GG

she doesn't even pretend to be pure like most elves. Also anyone know when ying comes back?

what a cutie pie. do you have more?

no

Next week i think.

Why the fuck do people here actually play hero shooters?

Because Tumblr/Reddit cancer has settled here thanks to Freddit and Undertale and the hotpockets defend them.
Mark also bought Overwatch and likely plays it regurarly as a social thing.

Because people like playing video games and having fun.
Is any of you two by any chance >(32) from the previous thread, if so please fuck off and stop sperging out.

being a fa/tg/uy, I would have liked to see a game about actual Paladins, each belonging to the church of different Gods, giving them access to different powers, weaponry, and armor.

another fun but soon dead gaem

Very nice, now go back to >>>/reddit/

Stay triggered.

Oh boy

This actually proves my point, you dont do anything besides shitposting on Holla Forums with the excuse of self-moderation, you always use the same pictures with the same filename in every thread and it's always shitposting.

But as I said previously, since you dont get banned like in Overwatch threads, it is easier to filter you here and thus ignore you.

This will be my only (you) that you'll see from me.

I don't understand.

sounds cool, do you mean like is 40k or 'historical' world I like both

That sounds familiar.

I can't fathom the appeal what appeal of these game. I've tried Stillborn, Overwatch, and just now this and they were all just far too dull and shallow. Even TF2 felt like it had more depth to it and it's current class design and balance are a fucking joke.

Hint: it's not picking Sniper.

Isn't there a rule that prohibits multiple Overwatch threads?

I would never do something so disgusting.

This is Hi Rez OC

Kinessa doesn't do instakills though.
She does with some damage upgrades to the lowest HP pool characters like Evie or Viktor though.

She's not as disgusting in this game since tanks or flanks can eat her up.

OC standing for Overwatch's Content, clearly.

No wonder you play this hotkey heavy garbage

Obviously

The only way I'll ever so much as install a megabyte of one of Hirez's games is if they give me a full refund for every dollar I've spent, and send me an apology letter written by Todd Harris himself. They could release a game that is the literal second coming of Jesus and I'd never even install the launcher.

Too bad you can't switch classes in this game, eh?

Changed that into servants of God with different Orders based on their philosophies and ideals, and we're good. Deus Vult!

Then Paragon came out and I thought it was what Smite was going to be and then that thing turned out to be just a big a joke because m-muh ps4 crossplay

If we're talking pic related, is there/would there be precedent for these Orders fighting each other? Looking at fictional 'verses like suggested Warhammer it would seem to be easier to justify why those people are all trying to kill each other. Though even if you leave the lore aspect to one side it still sounds like it could be an interesting game.

This game and it's entire genre are still absolute garbage by the way.

...

It has been down since this morning user.

I found this at one point and I guess this is the game it's from

This.

Buck is fucking crap and I have to make him at least lvl 4 and thats a pain. he's worthless in most situationa. In an open area buck is terrible. In close quarters he is slightly better. Buck is by far the worst character in the game. He just doesn't have the tools and items really only makr him compitent to a character without any

He's just a tank that has movement and no shields, that is fucking all.

The correct and best way to play Buck is with this build (pic related, from last night).

you have only yourself to blame.

Why is Fernando so boring to play and why Makoa the best Tank?

there were tourneys and melees and such that you could sort of twist into that.

because fernando's play style is to stand on point and hope someone stops ranged attackers. frontal shield thats easily flanked

makoa can fight back and stand on point with a cannon and chain hook. aoe shield to protect teammates on point

...

(Checked, nice)
Fernando is not boring to play man, it's just not for you.
Again, depends what the team needs:
Fernando has the best survival and team shielding.
Makoa has the best mix up between tank people and help them get kills (hook).
Ruckus has the damage, area denial but lacks being helpful to the team as much.
Dwarf Barik is an area denial motherfucker that can shield people.

As you can see, each one of them has something, if you want as a tank to help with kills and defend your allies, Barik and Makoa are your best options.

Did they release any fix on the game simply throwing you out during the loading screen of a match with players? Because after the update it still doesn't work

This is why stillborn failed while this and Overwatch are succeeding, it was simply too ugly and off putting.
I will always play the game whose art direction and character design isn't revolting and makes me want to vomit, i mean seriously, what the fuck is this shit?

Bomb king is the most fun character in the game. He pretty much shits on anyone who tries to take the objective as well as being the best tank killer and shield breaker if you get the wrecker upgrade.

Also has a decent range blast jump and his ultimate is is almost the same as Skye's but he can chase your ass down with it. Or use it in midair to become a directed nuclear warhead.

The best part is that Battleborn had the best gameplay, but the design and the over the top special effects are way too negative points for people to put up with just for gameplay alone.
It's not fun, even if the gameplay is great, to not see a shit because the special effects of skills or droids dying are clouding all your vision, neither is good to not have a single appealing (visually) character.

The more I play Paladin the more I wished that Battleborn were in the hands of other devs and not fucking gearbox and 2K who dealt themselves more harm to the game than Blizzard did.

I love that artist, I cant even remember his name but he makes everyone seem so fuckable, I love it.

Servers are up.

Splashbrush

...

Why would you want to deal more damage for one or two shots when you can fucking spam recovery, leap and have lifesteal while recovery is active?
With this build you can stay as long in a fight like Fernando can, and your ultimate removes all CD as well, add the lifesteal with x2 damage mate, Buck with this build is really fucking good.

GIVE YA KING A BIG HUG

Game is shit just like Overwatch.
Check dubs.

i feel like paladins has overall better game design.
the maps feel more tf2 like, the pacing of the game doesnt feel quite so much like a chokepoint ult fest slog, and the characters themselves generally have cleaner skill sets:
why cant torbjorn be more like barik, is it because they wanted him to be a tf2 engi clone but they ended up toning it back a bit and now theyre afraid to change him too much? everything about barik is what a turretmeister needs to be viable in a game like this.

I am actually interested in the dwarf. He looks pretty fun and that barrier that doesn't prevent him from attacking looks pretty sweet.

He can shield people crazy good and 2 well positioned turrets can deal quite a bit of damage, 150 in 1 second. You can place 2 at once so 300 a second.
His blunderbuss is pretty good as well for short range.

you ever have problems with bombs falling off of people? it seems to happen when fernando charges or bitch ninja goes warp speed

This

Hitboxes are shit and really low skill ceiling for all characters, but it's free so that's pretty much expected. Also a testament to how far nuBlizzard has fallen in terms of quality

This just looks like a shitty knockoff of Overwatch. Which is a shitty knockoff of TF2.

I think I'll just wait for the porn.

Yes, it's a bug. Don't play bomb king right now, all movement abilities make the bombs drop from people and sometimes they cause 0 damage as well.

I want to take Cassie by that ponytail and reel her into my cock.

Bitch needs to get split in half my my dick.

The developers made a long and in depth reddit post about how their game was in development before/around the time overwatch was released. Or how things that over watch has done is hardly creative/new and was done before in other games

This is like the 3rd thread where I've seen people say Skye is overpowered.

There's obviously something I'm not seeing. What makes her so good?

Her ulti is a AoE instant kill for starters.

With a huge damage output, if it doesnt kill in a instant.

That is what I hate the most. Even if you survive it the inicial blast it will most likely kill you anyways.

Barik is a really good tank, however he is so good that his HP pool is quite low for a tank, 3KHP.
He can leave a barricade (Shield) on the floor where allies can cover and shoot through.
He can put up to two turrets, 150DPS each, 300 total and a third one with 360º shield (ultimate) that deals massive damage however his ultimate is nearly NEVER, EVER going to kill anyone since it takes a lot of time to cast, the duration is short and quite small. However his ultimate does something that no other ultimate does (except Skye cause she's OP): Zone everyone the fuck out for 4 seconds and let your team breathe for 4 seconds fully, sometimes enough to let your teammates regen some health meanwhile you make sure they don't.
He has a "meh" sprint as well.

This is my build with him (picture from last night). As you can see with this build you will increase your turrets life and you will heal them meanwhile they will heal you at the same time making Barik the best area denial of the entire game (not counting ultimates neither Bomb King's AoE stun which wont last as long). Taking down a Barik with this is really difficult and you will fucking ENJOY like a dwarf capping points.

Also, keep in mind, your turrets can RIDE the payload and the payload can PUSH the turrets in front making it really fucking scary, imagine a payload with two sentries, that should tell you enough. Keep in mind, Barik's turrets are the ONLY object that the payload can carry / push.

She's the fastest of the entire cast.
The only character that can turn invisible TWICE and increases her movement speed up to 160% like if it wasnt enough.
Hold M1 automatic crossbow with fucking poison and fast reload speed, spread and pray kind of weapon where aiming is not as needed like the rest of the characters (except Viktor, but Viktor only has that) with really high as fuck DPS
Smoke screen makes enemies blind: They can't see ANYTHING that has HP and thus they end up lost, allies can hide behind smoke screen and be invisible even while shooting.
The best ultimate in the game, no cast time required, it doesnt disappear on death, it's AoE, it deals the most damage of the entire game 5K damage (1k per second after explosion, but it's a poison, only Grover's ultimate can heal that shit and negate it), unlike many other skills it can go THROUGH FUCKING SHIELDS. It's a free penta or if they somehow manage to run in time because they expect it, your team has enough time to cap the point and win, either way kill or no kill it's a win. The only counter for this is Grover's ultimate and the only character that laughs at Skye's ultimate is Grohk's ghost walk but then he turns around and he's alone against her and thus dies.

Her ultimate causes 5 thousand damage over time, when the average HP is like ~2.7k. It either has a ridiculous AoE or it's bugged as hell, because currently it has range: yes.

Other than that, she has stealth and a burst able to take down a 3k hp character in two seconds(as long as you can hit all her attacks, of course). That wouldn't be a problem, exactly for the reason I just put there, if she couldn't get +40% reload speed from cards. That means any idiot can stealth, get behind someone, press both mouse buttons at the same time and spray 'n pray for kills.

That's not a bug at all, bombs being attached counts as a Crowd Control effect and almost all movement abilities remove CC.

You missed also Fernando being able to negate her ult if you time yours right. And if you break LOS from the bomb itself, you suffer no damage. But yeah. it's incredibly OP in pubs.

Good to know. Still, sometimes you stick bombs on people and they just explode for 0 damage.

Unbalanced and OP ultimate that deals 5k damage and kills basically everything, she will turn invis, run on point and put down bomb killing everyone that is not Fernando.

Only one that can survive that shit is Grohk as Grohk's ghost walk will make him able to evade the damage

Why is he so perfect?

Anyone getting major fuckin lags on US servers?

tbh familia

It's not only an instant kill but a death unless you have more than 4000 Health and still get caught in the radius

It has a massive radius into which if you still get caught in the smallest of the outskirts of it, you'll be poisoned for 1000 damage per tick, and end up dying if you have a lower health pool

So in short this is what her ultimate can do

Now combine this with the factor of her having a stealth kit and it's a nightmare on steroids having her on the battlefield

Her ultimate feels like it has too much jam packed into it, I can see it having direct damage to where it deals enough to kill you if caught closer to the center, but to also poison you? At this point it feels as if it should be switched into a poison fog or bomb instead of a nuclear explosion that it currently is

also what said as well about her

...

You know what bother me the most about Skye's ult? The fucking shit pierces shields.

i assumed that was just due to cards since i know carlos can pick a card that gives him a shield when he charges, and other characters might have emergency shields at low health since i know blue orc does.

NOT THE FAAAAAAAAAACE

...

Nope, I've been on both sides of it, 3-4 sticky bombs on me as Kinessa and took 0 damage, I laughed as he seemly gave up, stopped moving and even attacking as I gunned him down. I didn't teleport either.

Evie is very simple as her only real damage is her left click, its her sheer mobility that makes her fucking scary when played right.

The Jukes were real.

everytime

i should get something for loading someone up with bombs and detonating them when theyre a mile in the air. maybe a blowjob

Fucking cancer

So when is:
Skye nerfed
Ruckus removed because its anti-fun cancer
Buck buffed
Supports made useful
Fernando actually deal damage and not move at the speed of a turtle?

Never, this is Hi Rez

As you are saging I assume you were here to shitpost, if you are, let me explain.
I was talking about the champion Grohk, who's F ability is ghost walk which gives him invulnerability from everything, so even if you are in the blast radius of Skye's ultimate ability, you will not take damage. I press Q to use my healing totem which will restore my health and put me on even ground to fight Skye and then carry on.

This is me using my abilities to counter hers, and make her ultimate ability completely useless.

I know how ASSFAGGOTS mechanics work user, you dont need to explain me, thanks.

the only nerf i want is for skye to have much larger titties so her hitbox is a little bigger.

Learn2play, newb.

I know you are :^)'ing but still the fucking AOE of it is impossible to predict, I hop away from the center of it as Buck and somehow I still am "in" the radius and take tick damage.

But you dont need to git gud to rekt shit with her :^)

How is Ruckus anti-fun? Also, Fernando has 2 mobility cards, use them.

You won't be able to deal damage with him though, his main weapon has 400 DPS.

i call it
bold and blast

This game belongs in the trash

In the time of the Crusades, different knightly orders had different views and had rivalries, Hospitallers and Templars and such.

Also, are the servers back up yet?

Tried this game just now by dicking around in the lobby with the other newbies and AI bots. Played as Cassie because she has a bird and that's pretty cool. It seems like it must be fun.

I haven't played an FPS for nearly six years, though, so I'm not sure if it's fun enough to justify getting back into form with a genre that I almost always ignore.

now see here

how ((((((pay2win)))))) is this
from a scale to gunz2 to leagueoflegends to quegg live before jews, how jewish is it?

Oh shit it's Battleborn all over again like 3 anons circlejerking forcing threads on Holla Forums.

So far, there are a few skins but most are recolors that you can buy with in game currency. Same with Champions. You can get the "premium currency" for just loggin in. You get the gold pretty fast. Honestly, there is no reason to spend actual money on it unless you want shitty cosmetic changes.

The only thing you can buy with money are locked champions and skins.
All ability cards are grinded. Champions can be easily grinded if you're not a scrub. Recolors can be bought with gold as well, but elaborated skins require buying or getting as a giveaway. And then there's TF2 Barik skin which is obtained by winning 5 matches as Barik playing with the Steam client.

I've seen myself still get shot on the kill cam despite not even being where they "hit" me after either using a dash or blink every time

I got all the champions so far after a week of playing and a card loadout for Makoa and Evie, thinking maybe Drogoz next

what are these cards garbage?

skill modifiers mostly, occasionally things like hitpoints or crowd control resistance.

Card loadouts allow you to modify your skills. For example, increase Blink distance on Evie or allow her to return to original position within 8 seconds after using Blink. Possibly both.
There are also cards that give reload speed, CC reduction, more health, etc. You have a pool of points though, and the bigger the card effect, the higher the cost.
There's also in-game cards that are split into 4 categories. You can take one card in each category and can rank up these cards with points you get from completing objectives/dealing damage/shielding to increase the card's effect.

The cards affects your skills. From lower cooldown to applying life steal or healing. You have 5 card slots, each Champion has 12 cards. You MUST fill all card slot, so a full "Loadout" is 5 cards. Each card has a Level, 1-4, the higher the level, the more it cost. A loadout has a limit of 12, meaning that you can't have all 5 cards at level 4. In other words, this shit lets you customize your champion in a way it suits you.

grumpy bomb does 200% bonus damage to shields. there is a card that gives grumpy bomb 10% more damage to shields, does that mean 330% total damage, or 310%?

thats retarded, fucking CRAPCUNTS

Oh boy another not-Overwatch.

Is this all we're going to see for the next 10 years, nothing but Overwatch clones?

ive played her in some of the games where bomb king was taken before i could pick him. im surprised i ever defeat them, shes ridiculous and her base loadout is extremely easy to work with if you have even a basic understanding of the game. actually, her cards are what make her so ridiculous i think.
shes a bit cooldown reliant, but with 2 forms of stealth and huge speed boosts youll be exactly where you need to be at all times. what really seals the deal is her ridiculous ult, aside from the rather large blast radius it has very little if any 'windup', instead opting for a (rather short) fuse, meaning shes free to act. not to mention her callout is less announced than say drogoz's atomic level voice for instance.
you can pick up increased stealth detection radius but i have little experience with that, and shes excellent at escaping with her speed boost (if you take the cards, which you should) anyways.

Is this what is meant by, "drones gonna drone"?
I find it funny how Overwatch fans have suddenly forgotten how their precious game is in fact a tf2 clone in more way than one after it took off and went big.
I thought we left this slave mentality back on cuckchan.

It's more of a first person assfaggots. Some shit is directly ripped off, but the skills with cooldowns and ultimates make it more moba esque, save for the lack of lanes. I wish the clones were more tf2 than moba, they might have a chance of being good.

Also meant to add that Overwatch made much more money than TF2 on launch, though the hats have probably out classed the jewing skills of blizzard for now.

20 kills in less of two rounds! bomb king is allah snackbar incarnate too much fun playing with the prophet of Muhammad

Any other Ausfags finding this piece of shit unbearably laggy?

I can't play characters with projectile weapons because of it. I have to aim miles ahead of any of my targets to hit them.

getting a nice half second delay here in jesusland

There's a card you can buy for your loadout that heals you on detonation. Would recommend for bomb spam.

Yeah, they decided to remove choosing a server for casual games. Ranked still has it. Just gotta grind and wait I guess, or play with more people to better your chances.

for fucks sake. did they imply it would be a permanent change?

I decided I'd try some cancer today. Get stuck playing this spic because every other role fills up so I play front line. I enjoy him so far, but it feels bland other than OP ult.

I don't think so. I have no idea why they did it, check patch 33 notes.

For anyone in this thread actually playing this game. I hope you burn in an eternal fire, forever.

Traitors

i hope they redo the vgs, the current recordings are pretty mediocre. although im sure they have plans to sell more voice packs and that may be part of it.

...

...

For whatever the "Open Beta" update completely replaced all of the individually recorded champion voice lines with the generic announcer ones, sans the taunt/joke/laugh lines. I really hope it's just to fix some of them saying "cards are ready" instead of "ultimate is ready" but it will likely end up in them being sold like in SMITE.

so wait
hirez ditches GA or whatever the fuck to make TA, which is just them picking up an IP
then they bail on TA, leaving it with a very small skeleton crew to make an ASSFAGGOTS to try and get on that bandwagon
and now they're making what I'm assuming is an OW ripoff? have they abandoned smite as well now?

Does this company ever do anything original? Why would you give money to this company when they constantly jump ship?

didnt they resume working on t&a?

and youtube.com/watch?v=NkfMqPeglyc

tbh

Reminder that SMNC was the best shooter ASSFAGGOTS and Uber games are little shits

i miss megabeth

Can I purge them as this Fernando?

you can burn them as fernando yes.

...

You clearly aren't paladin guy, are you?

400 dmage per second isn't so bad.

Smite made Hi-Rez a lot of money and people are still playing it, and instead of being another dota clone they at least tried a different approach.

if you get off that double fireball then yes

not only that but you have to at least pretend to do damage to charge your ult up.

I am dreaming right now.
Well it is not really Pyro. Pyro relied on backdoor like scout and spy. Fernando have not enough movement speed.
But I see potential in his F as escape and engage plus his ult is exactly what you want as a Pyro so I think I will get some movement on him.

Yea, but very easy for stealth bitch to just escape or ignore and go for a squishier target

Last update was March of this year I believe, or it was May, either way though
Tried logging into it the other day, some strange reason it's not letting me in, yet I got into Paladins just fine that same day

It's higher than Cuck's and Ratchet's. Also very easy to aim. Also fireball chaining like someone said earlier and he can close distance with dash to keep roasting.

He is not nearly as bad at DPS as it seems at first.

i want the shit you smoke

God who gives a fuck about this game, post more porn already.

Yeah same dude can't wait for all that non-existent porn.

what did she mean by this?

Why are the servers so garbage in this game?
EU or US (i'm in EU), I get fucking unplayable lag.

Take a good look at builds online if you struggle, I can't help you much my build is quite bad but it may be useful for you (pic related).

Remember that you can charge (F) with the shield on. Remember that you can deal damage with your ultimate on and that your ultimate makes EVERYONE immortal not only you.

Need more Evie.

it does seem like certain characters are more build reliant than others, or just have lousy default cards. ricardo would definitely be one of these characters.

so how do you get back on the horse if you fall off?

Can't.

You don't. Only one horse ticket when you die or the round starts.

It really is not much damage but it doesn't really matter.
You have so much HP you can easily roast them slowly and escape with dash/shield leaving rest of the job to your teammates.

I have played 6 games and won all of them so far. All with biggest streak.

Evolve seems good but you can alternatively get 1000 shield after charge with Safe Travel. You need to know when to charge but it is twice as much. I still got both because everything else is shit.

Using Towering Barrier seems useless. Your shield already have 8k damage. I don't remember any moment when it broke.

Fireball skills seem good but at the same time they are not worth 4 points to make them useful.

Cooldown reduction stuff besides Heat Transfer is also shit.

I really hate his cards. It is not situation when you have many good options. Everything on him is shit so you just stack more HP.
Only movement bonus is attached to charge. You really don't want more movement when you just charged.

...

It's not how they described it.
All cards has 1-4 levels, however the same card has all the four levels.
That is, you don't need to find "Bigger Exposions" level 4, the card "Bigger Explosions" has all levels.
Each level costs one point, you have five cards to use and you can modify the level of those cards as you wish.
So "Bigger Explosions" could cost four points to make explosions 40% bigger or just one point to make them 10% bigger (level 4-1 in this case).
Cards from what I've seen cost only the currency you gain through playing, not the cash shop currency (I might be wrong I just didn't pay attention) but regardless, there is pretty much no pay2win.
Gold flows like you own a mine, you can unlock the characters easily, the cards even easier or just focus on one and buy all the autistic skins.

Only fault is that you can't preview locked character, so if you buy a shitty one (see: Buck) you're stuck with it for good.

This game it's incredibly simple, incredibly straight forward and a good time waster for its price.
The price being none.

However this comes from Hi-Rez and they are known for making decent/good/great games and then just dropping them like ugly babies so really you're not missing out much.

dear lord I bet you click unit icons in RTS and flip UI's manually in gsg

Pip is the hardest carry hero in the game

:3c

It's absolutely fucking painful how much cock Buck sucks.
No damage, average HP, bad survivability with a heal that takes too long to heal, horrible ultimate and absolute garbage alt fire (does not even disable Cassie roll)
Also please nerf the fucking sky ult the only way you will ever get out of the blast radius is if you don't and happen to be Grohk with Ghost Walk.

but it said an afternoon of horseback riding

how are you taking a screenshot post game? i know in game you can use /shot but if i try to screencap i just get the darkness

Uh, Steam?
F12?

I just do a normal screenshot, no F12 on steam or anything, prnt scan and then CTRL V on paint, censor names cause reasons, ctrl C whats left of the pic and ctrl v here so I dont have to save the pic either.

Fuck off m8.

...

In a few years I bet this is going to become
And then you come advertise neofag here or something.

It is free you moron.

They obviously dont belong here, thats for sure

Its free! microtransactions included
You're not even trying

You are pretending right?

Well forget that.
You are not pretending to be a retard. You definitely are a retard.

Otherwise you would make some better bait than you pretending to be retarded.

How about giving me an argument instead of pointless cuckchan tier ad hominen?

in a few years there wont be an internet for this to be a problem

apparently my encounter with charlie murphy was due to me running in fullscreen instead of borderless window

Are you denying that the game has microtransactions?

Probably for normalfags such as yourself, one can only hope.

hirez must be pumping some money into bullshit astroturfing like whoa

whats so cute about all the current shitty Holla Forums threads and the reddit threads and "wahhh we came out first" is that its so fucking obvious that its being pushed harder than crack on the black community

I really liked smite and so i got the "founders pack" for paladins (yea yea kek it up) and enjoyed it at first…

…then they re-engineered every fucking class to mimic or rip off overwatch

dont believe the moronic echo chamber cacophony of "we had designed it first" when you can literally search their forums and hear people that SUPPORTED THE BUY IN BETA COMPLAINING THAT THEYRE MAKING IT IDENTICAL TO OVERWATCH

this is on top of their shitbird leadership hating the game itself and telling the devs to make it more like overwatch, before those motherfuckers went back to playing overwatch

like holy shit, read their company reviews on indeed

its a shit hole with horrible leadership, this is coming from someone who played both paladins and smite in the betas and has played shit tons of matches in both

please tell me Holla Forums isnt so fucking stupid that they would suck the cock of someone because they didn't have to pay for it

just fucking play tf2 or overwatch, let this shit die so they can learn not to churn out cookie cutter lackluster shit then kill it-didn't you learn from hirez prior?

...

WEW
These games are all the same shallow timesink garbage with no depth, aside from Vanilla TF2 which was still pretty bad, why the fuck would you recommend one over the others?

Don't drag it. I made mistake responding to him.

It not like this post is bait. It just makes no sense, while having some valid points.
It is weird.

Go back to hueland

Listen to this user, don't answer them. They'll drag the discussion down to meta levels where you aren't even talking about Paladins anymore. Actually trying to argue with them is how they win.

By the way, what's the consensus on Ruckus? I was expecting him to be a meme character but he's pretty good. Nigh imortal and with very good damage that nothing can stand for long in his sight. He also has some shield that can only be activated when near the point which is perfect for someone that wants to stay on top of it.
Last match, I kept entire teams at bay while taking the point, and mounting the payload so I could pretend I was a sentry was great, killdozer on the move.

Also, what's with the players? I feel like a lot of them are pretty retarded.
Even when I was doing the bot matches to level 5, I kept top scoring in literally everything with 5 times the amount. Like, 5 times as many takedowns\damage\time on point as everyone else.
Now that I'm playing against human oponents, it's not particularly much better. There are a few very skilled players that flank and have really good aim or know how to predict movement and tactics very well, but the great majority is incredibly retarded.
I'm talking "we are spawn camping while someone is pushing the cart into our base" kind of retard, I'm talking "I'm gonna rush straight ahead to you and wonder why I died" kind of retard.

Seriously, fuck everyone saying the game being free2play is a good idea, now I gotta play with and against someone that's only marginnaly better than the bots.

Also Sky isn't OP at all, (but her Ult is bullshit). I've seen plenty of them that get fucked if they don't flank or if you find them first and I even played her and noticed that most kills are easy ones where I can down half their HP before they turn around. Going against a Cassie that sees me going is a 50/50 fight for her.

It will be interesting to see that an internationally controlled internet will actually end up pushing more people to favor retaining control of their identity, and may even get us an anonymity based alternative to the regular internet.
It's a shame that most people don't know what rights they have until its gone.

I wouldn't count on that.
You see that Facebook login option that many sites have? It will evolve and take a hold far bigger than today, with people picking some social networking site and using it as a passport to everywhere else. You won't even create new accounts on forums or for things like Steam, just log in with Google+\Facebook.

If all ISP's and all connections are to be controlled by private corporations, any and all information they can get about their users is a valuable resource they can profit off, so they'll try to retain as much as possible with some convenience service that needs your real identity and they'll cooperate between each other to make it happen.

There will be deals signed both above and under the table because social media and many other sites for cooperation on this, and nobody is gonna complain because "it's so convenient!"
Just take a look at Steam to see a small sample of that, and if it works for videogames, it will work for everything else.

Ignore / hide / filter retards, do not feel tempted to reply, it's useless and they just want attention.

Ruckus is just a selfish tank with a lot of damage, he's really good but not as good teamplayer.

Because you have seen, as you said, retards playing her. That is why.

i dont know, hes great at tussling with other fatties who try to sit on the point but i rarely see him on the winning team. i plan on trying him out for myself since im sure most people are just playing him wrong. on the other hand, every single fernando ive seen regardless of their skill contributes to the game just by being an objective contesting brick wall.
it might just be some kind of matchmaking ladder.
sure ive walked up behind them and licked their ass before but theyre just not playing her right.
i see too many skyes who try to play her as ivan with tits.

You do that so well on your own plus dumping porn.

It wont, normalfags arent self aware and give no shits about their personal info as long as their daily life goes smooth
And then reality hits them like a truck

Just like the good ol' days of ASSFAGGOTS/Undertale threads

I don't even see why Ruckus is labeled as a tank when it seems as if he has a more identity crisis, can't really tank well but can do good damage, but everytime I get one on my team it never fails that I lose that match, regardless on what everyone else does

They are.
I am regretting playing Fernando because of them. He relies too much on people doing damage for you. It really is annoying when you see Skye run in front of your shield and die.

The worst part is you won't encounter good ones soon.
I dropped LoL because of that exactly this. You can get good teammates in LoL. You just need to get to around Platinum.
So you need to first somehow learn how to play on Plat level, later carry all the games up to plat and then you can finally get good matches quite regularly.

But hey at least it is close to TF2 so it is quite enjoyable.

Every fucking time, what is up with people and running away from the shields that your team sets?

i remember a lot of people being totally shocked that you could fire through reinhardts shield. i assume its the same thing. why not at least try it though? surely theyve been shot through shields before.

I'm not saying normal fags will adopt an alternative internet in droves. I'm saying generally that more people will be inclined to use an alternative internet.
All the internet is, is a series of interdependent connections. Things like Meshnets would have a reason to take off since there would be people who are actually using them. Just like the regular internet began because academics and the military needed it for fast and reliable connections to share data. If a need for anonymity arises people will seek it out.
That said if they just start making Drones that hone in on unauthorized signals to destroy them we'd be already fucked in a lot of other ways aside from the internet.

(checked)
Who cares about normalfags, their complacency and desire to quash dissenting opinions are one of the reasons our rights are being eroded.

No, I played her and murdered a lot of people when I did my job, got killed a bunch when I didn't but even when I was playing her right, if the other guy knew his shit, it wouldn't be an inbalanced fight in my favour.

Her damage falloff hurts her damage a lot and unless you can hit all 3 bolts from the secondary, you're not gonna kill anyone from full health with a full salvo.
Some people actually pay attention to the audio queues she gives when uncloacking and firing, and even get the upgrade to see her better or stick to closed spaces, where she can't slip past unnoticed.

She's a lot like the Spy in TF2. It looks severely abused with the instant kills and the cloak, but that stuff actually takes a decent amount of skill to pull off and you can learn to counter play her.
Although, unless they add more stealth heroes, she'll always feel weird since you gotta play against her in a very different manner than anyone else.

Oh, what's the deal with the bushes? I've seen a few bushes you can stand inside and fire out, do you get revealed when you fire or only when you get out?

Oh, I'm actually also interested in seeing those kind of solutions popping up. Free market does a lot of wrong things but that is one that it actually does alright.
None of them are ever gonna be as large as the mainstream net since that one will have huge corporations sinking money into it, but if it sits at something like "windows vs linux" with "clearnet vs darknet", it would be pretty nice.

Most of the people opting for that kind of services tends to not be as much of a scumbag or interested in making a profit at all. Knowing that there is a section on the net with all the torrents, books, music and information at no cost or ads would be pretty comfy.

Truth, innovation doesn't mean it will be an improvement.

...

Oh god

So fucking true it hurts

I sometimes curbstomp human enemies so hard it stops being funny after a while.

Because you have seasoned players who could have over a decade of FPS games under their belt vs people who've never played one/barely understand the genre at all. This is a good thing. There hasn't been any actual interest in FPS games outside CS in forever.

MM games will always be brutal, add and play with the good players you find.

the serbs are down, so someone is going to make a ragshitmade team to play?

But it can be easily fixed.

Problem is every game like this had set same multiplayer match structure DOTA has. It is 5v5 heavily ranked games. With such system it would be hard for a game to not be annoying when someone doesn't play o play badly.

However TF2 didn't had this problem.
It had good old regular server play. You were not locked with 4 idiots. You could enter/leave or change character you play at any moment. Because of this there were many game improvements. Server could balance teams based on stats after round ends. You were not punished by loosing, rewards were given solely based on playtime.

It is one of biggest problem with current multiplayer games. They try so hard to be competitive they just forgot to make sure casual play fun.

The bushes make you invisible as long as you remain inside, however you need a few seconds inside without them seeing you to be invisible there. If you fire from the bushes you'll be visible.

Tank countering tanks, who knew?

...

Kill me.

I'm so sorry user. I'm so so so sorry.

Seriously. Kill me.

Actually I wondered if 6v6 being only mode in Overwatch won't make it as annoying as LoL.
Today I know the answer.

I decided to play a bit more. Some people are so stupid even basic tutorial like the one in LoL would help.

The thing that bugs me the most is that i've been in games where the average hero level is above 6, but this game came right after one of those. Why is the matchmaking threshold for MMR so high (if it exists and works that way)

...

Try killing yourself now

...

Sage is not a downvote Reddit

So why are you using it like one?

Anyone have any fun evie decks?
I just got her for free and not sure where her strengths are.

You are oversimplifying things and forgetting how it actuall is in TF2.

You had a server with 12vs12 but at any time, you didn't actually had all 12 fighting together.
A better description would be 2v3 + 1v1 + 4v3 + 2v2 + 3v3 instead of just 12v12. It was fairly rare that you actually had 6 players at the same time on the same place contesting the same objective, the most you got was people trickling in but not at the same time.

This was the strong suit of TF2, that the game was all about these mini-fights everywhere. You were a Spy trying to take down a Sentry Nest, you were busy fighting the Engineer and never had a hand helping the Scout against a Demoman somewhere else on the map. Like one battlefield where every man is fighting his war.

But this has a very bad side effect that a lot of people forget very easily. A lot of players stopped caring about the objectives at all and just went for kills instead because that was the only thing that mattered at all, and they weren't wrong there. Why care about the objectives when half your team is not gonna help you? Why care about which team wins if auto-balance puts you on the team you were fighting against?
The only thing that is constant for the player is his score and that comes primarly with kills.

Team Fortress model worked wonders for the "join and play" style, without a care in the world. But there was little to no team in that game and objectives were all very optional.

Now you have games like Overwatch, Paladins and Battleborn that are geared in a different way. The point isn't just to get lots of kills, it's to go for an objective and if you ignore it, you'll lose and do badly. But a lot of people ignore this shit and then get upset when they lose, because they can't switch teams and there are rewards for winning.

It's not that "they try so hard to be competitive" but rather that you're expected to work together and pull your own weight, something you never had to worry about in other older games, at least at this level.

He's a meme. He stops existing if you don't pay attention to him.

Her strength is her mobility. She only does damage in one way, by shooting magical ice rockets at people (and her Ulti but that barely does anything).
What you want to do is blink and soar around all the time, getting the drop on everyone, confusing the fuck out of them.

You should go for their snipers and supports, remenber the extra bonus damage you deal after a blink (it's the difference between killing someone in 2 or 3 shots) and your Ice Block, to contest points and get people to fuck off.

Christ, why do you cuckchan faggots still come here?

his leg turned into an awkward fat kid

Thanks for explaining everything in detail and I agree with everything, literally everything. However what you said in this sentence is exactly what I mean as competitive.

It is not bad to expect you to hold your weight, it is pretty much expecting you to play the game. Problem starts when your entire team is supposed to hold their weight. You can get good game where everyone plays but more often you get people who lie down and ask to carry them.

TF2 dodged that.
It was good thing objectives were optional. I would even add that winning was optional. Any reward in TF2 were given to you based on playtime instead of match result. Lost game there meant pretty much nothing.
What really mattered there were these 3v4 fights and that was great. I could write longer post than yours about all I learned about playing pyro. It given you good opportunity to play the game and git gud while not making you rely on your team as much as you do in Paladins.

I am not even saying Paladins suck, but they really could use casual mode where you learn the game and only after that get to the game mode where you are supposed to carry your weight. I could understand something like moba with RPG elements to be unable to implement "leave and join" but this game have no excuse to make casual mode actual casual mode.

There is an arena type game mode they took out a while ago that will be put back in the game eventually. Shit was basically deathmatch and that alone will end up a draw. Payload will also help when that comes out next patch. Personally Payload was my favorite public game to play on T F2 and I always thought it was a shame it was never utilized in competitive scene (in the era I played). At this point it feel like HiRez used smite as a dry run of what they wanted to do with Paladins so we'll end up having quite a few playlists along with a bunch of maps.

I think TF2 excelled in its 6v6 environments, but it had these moments where both teams would play it safe and wait for medic M2 so you had these periods of not much going on outside a great pick. Paladins more or less removed that issue so there is always something on outside those moments you're waiting for teammates to be alive. No pure supports makes gameplay a lot slicker since no one is 100% needed so you have options. TF2 was interesting but valve is shit at balancing non stock weapons outside class updates.

Depending how big the roster gets over time there is chance bigger maps with higher play count will exist. Highlander was popular since day 1 so to not capitalize on that to some regard would be silly.

I don't mind losing in FPS games nearly as much as others since there are always ways you could have played better to carry the game no matter who you're playing. You learn quicker then mobas where numbers fuck all the details up so you can always look to blame something else. Find team, play games. woo woo

burger king is great make splash bang

I never got the point of that comic, is the joke she is listening to over the top music or is there more?

The original is Bitches aint Shit
So yes, thats the joke, shes a cute girl listening to some heavier shit.

Damn

I'm starting to wonder if using that monkey's paw to burn Overwatch faggots was the correct decision in the end.

What do you mean user?
They're still infesting the board with their shit generals and they are posting on this same thread.

A burn doesn't stop the average shitposter, only fuels them. I've learned that now.

i bet if that kinessa and skye knew how to buy items youd have wiped the floor with them.

No wonder Hi-Rez is never adding a pure healer.

i like how theyve handled healers so far. 'pure' healers dictate the flow of a game which im not fond of. i wouldnt mind a hero who mitigates healing reduction though, cauterize is a bit ridiculous.

...

Is there a reason why no one uses the chat ingame ? or just people are to dumb to figure out how it works ?

I didn't know there was one.

Just a warning, there was a bug in Smite where the items someone bought didn't show up for other people, so while he was buying items as usual, it didn't looked like it to other people.

I've had this happen a few times already (but not that frequent) so it's likely that that might be the case.
But it's more likely that they are retarded, though.

ive had an instance where one player on my team seemed to have 2 items from the yellow category, so perhaps it was a fucky display.

This is what I currently use for Makoa

how long does the life steal bonus last?

You would know about getting fucked in the ass, wouldn't you OP.

YOU LITERALLY CAN'T LOSE TIER:
Grover, Fernando, Barik

2 EZ TIER:
Androxus, Evie, Skye, Cassie, Viktor, Pip

Makoa, Grohk, Bomb King,

Drogoz, Kinessa,

Buck, Ruckus

More or less 4 seconds. It last through all of Makoa's ammo (4 shoots)

How can anyone possibly think buck is bad?
I guess if you have a bad deck but it only takes a few games if you're not complete trash to make a good one.

I'm trying to play more Skye to understand her kit better since she annoys the shit out of me every other game. Her ult is so free but apparently shields fuck it.

It feels broken but I'm probably just bad

if some of the characters werent visual diarrhoea then I might actually try this

really, they just need to remove Ruckus and that'd be enough

Bomb-king things your waifu is a shit.

more elf porn?

Good post except this part:
Not all old games were TF2. In other old games, UT or Quake as an example, you had to carry your won weight as well, although funny enough the objective was kills as well. I agree with the entire post however.

Pic related. She is not as "fun" as other decks since this one lacks the double blink but this one should give you enough survival as to reach 20-30 streaks without a care while doing your job.

Change Harden for that one who gives you ammo after a successfull anchor, put it at 1 or 2 and increase the level of Tidal Grace. I use a total different build but with what I tell you, you should feel improvements, 15% reduction for 2 seconds wont say much after a grab when yo ucould just get free ammo and make sure you have lifesteal with every anchor no matter what.

I don't agree with it. A good Kinessa can make the match no matter how many flanks go against her..
Ruckus is only shit if he's the only tank, put him with Barik or Fernando and he'll be the MvP with a 4 - 0 unless Skye.

She's broken and shields doesnt fuck her ultimate. However, the payload or a tiny little crate (building) can stop it, as long as there some kind of "building" (no turrets included) you can use it to cover yourself from the ultimate, the hint to know if you'll survive if it's icon is on yellow after reaching cover because yellow for lenght sometimes doesn't work and you still get hit.

Because she won't blow him up :^)

what would you rather have, a skeleton in a mech?

Yes

Now I want a skeleton/undead character fuck you.

its almost october afterall

Evie can be made to constantly blink and gain hp while she does it. This is ridiculous

does the wormhole return blink also heal her if she takes that heal?

I never tried it, I dont like the card myself. Yes its useful but I dont want to lose a slot just to be "extra annoying" since most of the time I won't be able to see what will happen if I teleport back, most of them will learn to stay on the first spot waiting for that second teleport or wont be arsed to follow me at all.
If I give them the illussion that they can kill me if they chase me, I'm helping my team more that way with one teleport.

if anyone is curious about this anons displeasure here is some old footage. pardon the godawful player i guess.

yiff

Don't sexualize my main

can we trade?

Pip is pure, fuck back to /furry/

Damage of a DPS, HP of a tank.
Basically impossible to take down unless every single person targets him.

Movement speed of a tank, hitbox of a tank and Grover meaning free headshots.
What's more, he doesn't help his teammates he doesn't shield them he can but it's laughable what shield he gives to teammates and it nearly never happens because noone wants to be next to a Ruckus to receive focus for free, he's a selfish tank with damage.

He is not anti fun, use wrecker for fucks sake.

And 2 get-out-of-jail-free cards if he takes too much fire.

Oh you want to contest the point? Unless you're Fernando, good luck with that. You'll be taking some of the highest DPS in the game.

One of his Jokes states that his equipment is all stolen. And another is about him fancying your watch, implying he's a sly fox that steals for a living.

Just what IS his story anyway? I though he was supposed to be an actual scientist or something.
The game is far sparse in storytelling, you don't even get a tiny "Biography" tab when inspecting characters.
I've noticed that almost all weaponry in the game has a crystal of some form in it, usually working as ammo. Is that what people are fighting for? Those crystals?

I know it's silly to wonder about the story in these kind of games, but I genuinely like that kind of shit that breathes some life into the characters, and it was a nice thing in Overwatch.
But in Paladins, it seems to be a bit bland if comical. Drogoz is a dragon that wants to hoard treasure apparently.

This is the problem with an item shop in game. You usually have 2 kinds of items: things that make you stronger and things that counter the other team.
But odds are, you'll get faggot teammates that will buy whatever they want that makes them stronger without caring at all what the enemy team is using.

So despite Wrecker giving you 50% bonus damage versus shields, some faggot will think he made a good buy when he got the 5% extra damage at all times.
Or when someone buys a defense upgrade without considering just who is he gonna defend against. Drogoz only fears direct hitscan, so you get the Direct Damage defense upgrade, but the rest has to first look at who they brought and get something accordingly to it.

I swear in all games with Skyie I've seen, only about 15% of those there's someone that bought Illuminate, despite that making it an entirely 6v5 fight.
Or getting the "extra damage to deployables" when there's a Barric, and breaking all his shit at once with a single shot from Evie.

What do people mean with this?
Compared to other tanks, what does he do differently that makes him selfish?
He has a nice shield buff to give everyone (that doesn't require him to stop firing) and he's excelent at contesting points, everything a tank would need to do, no?

YIFF
I
F
F

why is bomb king so good?

The shield he gives is shit, he is selfish because he cannot protect his teammates accordingly.
Fernando can take a shot for them, put a shield up, can push enemies away or make everyone immortal.
Barrik can put a shield for them as well that is big enough so they can move without being close to him to avoid AoE, they can as well cover themselves behind the turrets a bit, Barik ultimate is a great shield for everyone as well.
Makoa can put a shield that is perfect for a team, 360º like Barik's ultimate but weaker, he can facilitate kills getting enemies stunned and close, he can push enemies.

What Ruckus have? A shitty shield that activates when he needs the shield himself only those who are close to him. So, noone will get the bonus of the shield either, and those who want it will get killed for being next to the tank that is shooting like a madman AKA getting the focus, switching the focus from Ruckus to Viktor for example and thus losing the DMG dealer in three seconds, this doesnt happen with any of the other tanks.

yes

>Bumplock in 13 12 posts
Nice

This is the best feeling ever. It's like the Heavy in TF2, but actually powerfull and usefull, not a very gimped character that everyone shits on.
The only thing I really fear are Kinessas and similar characters because they don't have damage dropoff and if they have long range view for the point, I'm fucked. But otherwise, I'm unstoppable.

Because he is intentionnaly comic and explosives are always fun, especially when done in a very splatstick comedy. Junkrat in Overwatch is essentially the same and everyone likes him because of that.

His shield mitigates damage by 50% and has a very large area where it operates. He also gives it to everyone helping to contest the point, which you should since it speeds up the counter, unless you're flanking people.
The idea that people will switch focus to Viktor isn't even a problem, if they have LOS to Viktor, you have LOS to them and you'll murder them fast.

You basically shield people not just with your barrier but also with your guns. It's the best kind of shield, one made with bullets.

Best build for him? I just unlocked him to try him out, I put all my points into Nanotech and Advance healing because I kept running out of HP.

we need more memes.

My point entirely, he's selfish and not a proper tank for the team. He works best with another tank, thus taking space for flank or damage.

Ruckus is easily countered by many, MANY things.
-Bomb King -> Easy as fuck sentry that doesnt move -> It's death, free 6 stickies
-Drogoz -> Behold the Dragon's dick -> Ded
-Skye -> OP
-Viktor -> Free headshots, commence the highest DPS, free Barrage as well
-Kinessa -> Free fully charged headshots of 2K each
-Evie -> Can't spin fast, can annoy him, he's dead while trying to catch her
-Cassie -> Mobility with >900dmg per dodge, give her a Dodge build and she can dodge every second

What does people need? FUCKING WRECKER and the support or tank with Cauterize just in case he carries selfheal. That is fucking ALL.

Also, it seems that I have won no matches, or so my profile says even if the history is filled with victories.

Well, this is one of the biggest problems on these kind of games, carrying is way too hard when your team is retarded.

Most of those are assuming he hasn't put his shield up, otherwise you're not gonna get any damage.

Drogoz, I'd argue is actually best coutered with Ruckus, actually. His Ulti deals 100% of max HP as damage, but if you pop your shield, you'll have that much left after he hits and if you use the other shield, he'll only deal 50% of your HP, the biggest mitigation ever.

Viktor needs to be in LOS to hit him which means getting hit in return and Ruckus can get headshots too.
Kinessa and Cassiue are the only thing scary there, since both Evie and and Skyie get fucked hard in close range with him with or without shields.

Well, yeah. But then they are devoted to handle that guy when there are 4 more ready to fuck them up. And that's kinda the point of playing Tank.

Your team did better than their other team. It's just that their Barric was an harder carry than you were.

Just how does this happen?
What gives credits in this game? I see that the Tree got a truckloack of it, despite doing a lot less.
The Objective Time might explain it, but does healing also give you credits?

that shit right there, especially pushing cart
note that Evie/user got 2k because all her deeps were burst, as well as the shitload from solos, which well went above and beyond. the cart time set him back 500 or so to treeman but it doesn't matter, solokills/burst is BEEG

pip is a qt

I want fucking any porn for this game so more will be made. Great characters like Pip, Skye and Ying deserve porn.

The characters are market friendly while also hit those nice quirks people love so much. The skin game is going to be insane as time goes on.

So are Cassie builds still just focus on the dodge roll reset and just hit shots? Figured they would have shuffled it up a bit.

I don't think I've seen a single bomb king win a game.

Yes, he does. Dorgoz bypasses shields, ANY shield.

When your support and tank does nothing, the point can't be captured, I carried hard 2-0 at the beginning killing everyone, then at the third time we capped and they defended focusing me hard. Then when we were 3-1, I was 3vs1 all the time.

anyone got Kinessa's lewds?

She is top notch brown but sadly no, the game does not have much porn yet.
god I want to fuck Ying so much

God fuckin damn Ruckus takes so much damage, his head hitbox is absolutely insane.

No way I'm going to stand a "*raise paw*" kind of furry. I'm ok with people having as a fetish "I want to fuck 2D antros", I'm not ok with "I want to fuck an animal" or "I am a fox/wolf/neondick".

Why do some people play this game like they have never seen a video game in their lives?

mentally handicapped russian children

Let's not go down that road and assume all furries think they are animals or want to have sex with actual animals.
Some just like the art, or animal traits in their anthro characters.

You go down that road and you're gonna find loli = pedophilia

Because it's free, user. What did you expect?
This is why I keep saying that everyone stating this is an advantage it has over Overwatch is a retard. F2P invites all kinds of demons, shitty BRs being just one of them.

Because they've likely never played this kind of game before in their lives.

Think about the younger demographic and what they grew up with. They don't have the experience at all outside modern tf2. A lot of actual newbs.

If you want competitive games try to find a team, resources are out there.

Being free has nothing to do about having retards on the game. There are many games that you need to pay for with more players than one that is free, this has always happened.

Stop throwing shit at some game about it's community just because it's free. The problem is never the price, the problem is the popularity.

NOT THE FACE

does this mean any attacks you have, or only your left click?

are you familiar with the card that increases grumpybomb damage against shields? 10% per level doesnt seem like a lot, but grmpy bomb does 200% bonus damage to shields on its own. will each level of that card count as 30% or a mere 10%?

What does this even mean?

If that were the case, Paladins wouldn't be that bad since it's not that popular (yet)
This is endemic to any and all games, the concentration of retards increases when you make it F2P, I though this was common knowledge by now.

You have a very large amount of shitty players with wooden computers or that have no money for videogames that hop on whatever game is free at the moment but they are invariably shit at them.
You also have hackers that see a free game as "I can just make a new account and spoof the IP if I get banned"
And you have a lot of casuals too because "well, it's free so let's give it a try".

All games, no exception, see an influx in these kind of players whenever they go F2P.

Well, thankfully they just fixed my main Pip and not fucked him further and I have at least Buck as Flank

Oh thanks, not sure how I'm that retarded as to miss this.

i hope that includes the ridiculous hitbox

the only reason ice block was usable on her is because she could use it with blink. it will be kind of a deadweight otherwise, a predictable evie is a dead evie

Yep, now it's just a self stun on a 1800HP character, even Viktor has 2.2K HP now, two tanks got their HP increased as well which they don't needed it to begin with.

fuck what now? I might have to actually flank :^)

Doing warp even on ice block was dangerous because you tell everyone where you are teleporting to. What's more, part of the Ice block was to debuff enemies to increase your damage by 30%, so people would use Ice block and then drop on someone's head to slow them and debuff them.

With this, big part of Evie's depth is removed. Now she cannot use Ice Block offensively neither she can trick people by it, she's just now a faster Androxus with a way worse ultimate and less hp.

...

Her mobility was unmatched and with good reason, she could use ice block aggressively and defensively to get her into or out of situations, now with it being taken away what good is ice block's aoe slow + mark for more damage along with blink being an added assist.

Not only is this removed but now she's pretty much dead from this point forward, the other nerfs were fine but this is where it takes away her synergy in the kit and flushes it down the toilet.

flanking isnt hard with her, but with that nerf she will have a nearly useless skill

Well, now she's worse than Buck.
What's the point of ICe Block out of combat if we have already HP regen, what's the point of the passive of Ice block if we can't surprise anyone or we can't make them believe that we will teleport out and just cancel Ice block on their faces?

With this chance Evie is dead, if they wanted to nerf her they should have just increased the cooldown, now she needs an HP buff if she wants to stand a chance. What's more, her ultimate is casted where she stands, so for her to use the debuff of the ultimate (the only use besides slowing and removing the horse in the spawn to let your team cap easier) she'll have to be at melee range and after Ice Block she'll die or she will not give it use to the debuff.

tl;dr: Evie's depth is dead after this.

At least they nerfed Skye ult a little bit
I mean, most of what makes her OP is still there but hey, at least now tanks have a chance of surviving her ult. Why would they nerf Evie?

is this a joke?
Before Grover at least could heal it, now he wont be able to heal 3K burst damage, so whoever gets in the blast that is not a tank will INSTANTLY die.
Before at least, even if you got it, you had one or two seconds of "I will deal as much damage os possible yolo", now it's just drop dead.

This doesn't feel like a nerf, unless shields actually STOP it even if the shield is broken afterwards.

Wasn't it instant 5k damage plus poison.

then again, tanks are what usually get caught in the blast

No, it was 1K instant damage and then 1k tick till you get 5K damage total.

the patch isnt live you can still look right now. its said to do 5000 damage over 5 seconds. perhaps the first tick is instant?
then again i dont think these are always accurate, the patch notes indicate bomb king needs 3 bombs to trigger bonus damage, and that they do 900 a piece. but in game it says 1000 damage, and "after the first".

cruddy spoiler checkbox

to elaborate on the shitposting a bit, here are my collected thoughts
The entire concept of get-out-of-jail-free cards is cancer and should be avoided, especially on a (conceptually) high risk character like Evie
nerfing this mechanic makes the other nerfs honestly meaningless, they should be rollbacked
I am entirely in favor of a replacement ability, possibly something that does increased damage to slowed targets for the synergy
the reasons you detailed as pros are actually huge cons, the ability forced 5 players, the entire enemy team, to care about you and only you, but now it's 9- initially I'm sure they conceptualized Evie going in, slowing everyone, picking off a squishy, then shielding up while the team clears off the rest, leaving her safe, but the way it worked was the exact opposite- only the enemy team needed to care, Evie was never actually in danger. the ability itself alludes to this just because of how the duration interacts with the enemy, lending itself to staying in for the full 3s and ending it with killing the marked tanks leftover
consider Skye's interaction with the enemy in comparison to Evie's and how much more cautious you had to be as Skye, even with invisibility- all sorts of tricks and punishments ready to demolish her, not so much Evie. Genuine, hard CC is actually fairly rare in this game, remember that
I think this change as is is a sizeable nerf to Evie but in a manner that improves her concept and punishes really shit play that used to be rewarded, in any case, thus
in the initial shitpost

She does flank, a good one does at least.
Flying would make a really loud noise, so everyone knew when she was nearby and at the same time, an easy target while flying with her small as hell HP pool.

Her teleport is rather short, forcing you to actually grab the card to increase range, now it's nerfed, meaning that even after ice block she wont be able to get away.

Buck can regen health while moving and jump away, his ultimate gets his CD to 0 to jump and heal again.
Skye lol skye.
Androxus can move while Reflect is on, he can lifesteal through it even and triple dash away as well, each dash in the direction you want making it hard to follow/chase unlike Evie where you know where she's going thanks to the trail. His ultimate is ez killing AoE.
Evie blink can be seen with a shiny trail, her flying skill can be seen and heard (loudly) as well, her Ice Block is a big "look at me I'm juicy and low in HP" with SELF STUN. Her ultimate is melee range for a character with no speed boost like Skye, no invisiblity, has C A S T T I M E, deals no damage, only slows those in the middle and most people (damage dealers even) stay in her ultimate like it's nothing.

In short, Evie was good for her mobility and survival with it. Now, even if she has this mobility with such small HP pool and only her Left Click to deal damage (the slowest projectile in the game, with self damage by the way like the rest of projectiles unlike Cassie) she'll be in a really bad state with nearly no use for the team.

So, my main Flank will be moved from Evie to Buck or even Androxus if I feel too much pain with Buck. I should be thankful that my main Pip is untouched

By the way, Pip's skin promotion is going to end in three days and I need a bit of help.
Can I get three anons kind enough to put my name as referrer and so reaching Lv15 before Friday to get Pip's weapon skin?

I'll add people back to be my referrer as well, I dont know if I can put more than one though.

We can play as well together, although I'm EU and USA would be laggy as fuck in a shooter

People don't undestand that killing is not the main goal of the game.

okay, but my issue with is is still that she will be left with a skill thats about as useful as a block of ice sounds. and i think without it she falls apart, especially compared to androxus who has a somewhat similar play style compared to buck or skye.
absolutely it was/is bullshit. i think the most bullshit part though is that coupled with the relatively low cooldown of blink it often bought enough time for blink to come off of cooldown.

what we will be left with is a skill that will do nothing unless you pick cards specifically so that it will do something. the idea of the slow aoe growing larger and the slow growing more potent as she stays in the ice block longer is made all but impossible for evie herself to use, allies may be able to take advantage of the potential zoning it could cause but as a flanker with such a slow projectile her job is to get extremely personal.
i mean, her kit is the way it is on purpose. we couldnt just have it so androxus cant move during his reflect. hell, he can even spec so it recharges his dash.
maybe icecube blink just needs a card tied to it.

can i jew leash myself to you after ive made an account or would i have to make a new one?

Your main should do the trick unless you already took a referrer, I can add you back as a referrer as well.

And if you're from EU we can play right now, I don't mind losing I just care about having fun, and lag is no fun

Pic related with my name not censored this time around.
The hard part of getting the skin is not the 10 hours of gameplay, it's the 3 players to Lv15 before Friday, that'll be nearly impossible to be honest.

its a good thing makoa hooked fernando into the cart when we only had a few inches left to push it

I believe that overtime needs to be reworked, is easy to exploit it.Just make it a single countdown instead of reset the timer everytime.

shit
I've done that before
WHOOPS

But that's the fun part, instead of 6 seconds just 5 though.

Noone to play from EU at the moment? I wanted to do some matches before going to bed.

check the upcoming patch notes, they are changing it.
honestly it seems like a valid tactic to me. the counter would be to send your flanker to knock people off their horsies.

Pip is way too much fun, man.

Pip is way to good.

Every game I play as Pip my team wins easily.

He's easy as piss, bomb people to kingdom fuck, heal up if you take damage and run away if you sustain damage and are close to death.

pimp is consistently the most dangerous player on the enemy team if they have half half an idea what theyre doing, especially if im playing a flanker.
howcome the ones on my team always end the game with healing in the lower 1000s?

Because healing and support is for faglords, LMAO, the only thing that matters is k/d ratio.

i agree completely but doesnt that also imply that hes doing a poor job healing himself?

Why are multiplayer faggots so willing to spread their ass cheeks?

No, they get healed themselves (poorly though).
Thing is that most Pips don't think of him as a support and that's a problem, you have to keep in mind that Pip's DPS is actually shit compared with the rest.

didnt the 'skill' tab in the champion list used to show cooldowns?

...

yes they did
