Paladins (no actual paladins)

So how are doing in the game Holla Forums? I think im finally getting good as buck, just gotta play him like an assassin.

shut up and post more elf

k, there barely is none of ying though.

I don't think hi-rez and blizzard both understand that these types of games only thrives on two things, casual play and unending content.
That's why so many people played UT and quake on the days of old, because every single day there were 2~3 new maps for people to play, or maybe a new model for you char or a mutator for UT or shit like that.
Without content and people being forced into multiplayer with random people, they will go away from the game.

It's also what killed Tribes: Ascend and what will kill LoL when they stop making new characters for it.

never change Holla Forums

It feels good to win like this, Barik is lots of fun. Makoa is still most fun tank.

Fucking kill yourself already, holy shit.

Gamers are fringe?

Ignore shitposters. Report them if you must,


If that piece of shit stood for so long with only one fucking map and people eating it up, that wont be the reason of it's death.

That pic always makes me EL oh EL

MARCHE
IF YOU LIKE MIRANDA
YOU ARE FURRY

THIS IS NOT HARD

...

you can still burn elfs as Fernando though.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Unless they're all in a row for your fireball the only thing burning is your nerves.
Flame lance does shit dmg.

Almost have 12 characters to level 4. Finally I will soon be free of the russian children menace. For the time being however HOLY SHIT does the heal elf slut do her job better than every other support in the game.

Pip has his shitty 1k potion on long ass cooldown.

Grohk has the only buildable in the game that you can't put on a payload or in front of it to make it move along. And it goes down with a single shot. Also has long ass cooldown.

Grover has a passive regen and 1k heal centered around him but once again long ass cooldown.

But this little cock hungry slut. God damn. She shits her illusion out every four seconds. They can be deployed at range. They have twice as much HP as the totem Grohk has and it heals 700 hp per second to every ally in its massive range. And you can put down two of those.

Get the Illusion HP, length and range cards to level 3 and put the rest into shatter clone speed and the one that shortens cooldown for illusions if one gets destroyed.

I am literally fucking invincible. I have 1400 hp regen. A hitscan weapon that deals respectable damage. An ability to instantly teleport out of harm if some trick ass flank tries to tear my anus apart and when all my team mates die I press M2 to deal 1.5k damage to all enemies before I run away out of spite.

These fucking clones have so much utility. They heal. They block enemy shots. They confuse enemies into thinking they are you and you can slap them on payloads.

Truly, she is the best girl. I get 100k healing on every round.

Other forums do not get much more active users a day. Are they n o r m i e s and we're not because they have 1-2k more daily active users than we do? What number of daily active users would be enough to count as a non-norm?

She seems so silly at how good she really is but once people get used to the clones I don't think the damage will be nearly as free. Its fun fucking up flankers who miss one to many shots and you just mirror mirror them to death

The amount of people visiting does not correlate to an increase or a decrease in casuals. It propably has an effect but 'high amount of visitors = casual website' is not true.
Most people who post here are more or less of a certain type.
In other words not total dick sucking casuals.

I can't enter alt codes on this keyboard.
I was referring to other forums specifically and not other boards.
Stay mad, furfag.

Is Paladins seriously considered a norm­ie game? I've not played it. But I've seen fags like the furfag say games like dark souls are casual normalfag games for years on old Holla Forums.

Yes it is casual. It's literally Overwatch for poor people. And somehow despite all that it ends up being fun somehow. That is the High Rez studios curse. They make fun games which then immediately turn to shit.

Anyone that replies to shitposters is mentally damaged, please cease immediately.

Oh boy am I cool and elitist yet?

The game still requires aim and rewards you greatly with headshots / proper aim.
The game has certain depth and it's not only mindless shooting neither camping one spot.
There's no instakills Except for Drogoz and bullshit Skye meaning that just "lucky shots" won't save you and you are required to have certain skill.

However, even if it has all of that, it's still a casual game since how simple it is to understand. What's more, it's marketed towards casuals to top it all.

The game is good, for a beta. It is not great, it is not quake but when for class shooters your only options were TF2 (everyone is burnt with this), Overwatch (lol blizzard) and Battleborn (may be a better game but you can't play something that is dead) then Paladins is more than attractive to play.

Thanks for reminding me that Holla Forums hates fun.

That's what alt codes are called. Alt-0173 bypasses word filters, but my keyboard is busted so I have to use an on screen keyboard to enter it.

Apparently I am the same as OP or something, turns out we decided to post our threads almost at the same time, do you think the usual shitter is a TF2 fanboy or something?

I've done all of your "checks" so far, even the ones I'd normally be too lazy to do. Except I'm not a furry, but you are. You are the one who needs to go and kill yourself.

Just checking this game's stats

twitch.tv/directory/game/Paladins
Most viewers has 651 viewers

Truly the sign of a normalfag game.

TF2 fanboys are just as retarded as CRAPCUNTS fanboys.

This
TF2 is complete trash nowadays, especially now that its trying to mimic its comptetitors and failing hard.
Hopefully this drives the fat kike to finally make a video games before he dies of a heart attack, but I doubt it.

Only reason I don't bother is because the russians and br's are fucking everywhere.

Just tried it and hate it so far.


F2P killed TF2 for me because F2P players constantly swarmed the community servers I used to play on - they were always filled with new people - effectively killing those communities. Tried to play again recently, and have mixed opinions. They are obviously trying to copy Overwatch in some ways. Some changes seem good, others very bad. Wish they would put up an official, clean version of TF2 pre-hats that's premium only.

Thanks for your input and great formatting reddit
Im sure Blizzard will thank you when you give them the money to play the other garbage.

Why is Bomb King such a fragile piece of shit?

Don't miss/let people get easy picks.

Why are there deleted posts?
Why was the previous thread deleted?

This game is literally a chinese ripoff of Overwatch.

and overwatch is shit too, so why even bother?

cause its f2p and people who couldn't afford overwatch to begin with
also Holla Forums trusting hi rez

(checked)
Impressive, very nice

CRAPCUNTS ARE GAY

I'm only visiting these threads for the elf porn.

So where is it?

Ill post it when you stop bumping

Ying seems a bit OP though, maybe they should turn her clones HP down, increase the cooldown on clones, decrease the healing over time. One or two should make her more balanced without looking OP.

JUST

When a Ying is in the match Im forced to use cauterize, but some people are just one-builders and can't into TAB to see what the fuck they're facing.

the game isn't popular enough to spawn enough porn in a timely manner compared to overwatch.

It's even worse when Ying is paired with two tanks. I can't take both cauterize and wrecker and I can't always rely on teammates to pick something other than deft fucking hands or aggression.

I have been there user, I have been there.

I want to hug Pip

If I wasn't able to carry games as well as I can I would probably instantly quit when I see this shit.

Every single time I play Kinessa and I listen to footsteps, with nimble and increased movement speed + range on teleport cards I have this shit in my head every single fucking time.

...

...

It's also a forced meme acronym that only redditfags use

Every meme is forced satan


Its time to move to another board Reddit
Im sure a 4chan gold pass wont cost much

Like pottery

...

illusions are a bit high hp for how low cooldown they are. however, it gives you two options for countering her. healing reduction or deployable destruction. healing reduction of course is optimal but if you really need to break down dorf turrets as well you wont be completely sol.

That sounds totally true and not something a shill would say.

...

...

so that brazilean proxyfag is trying to frame marche now? i hope none of you are this gullible.

Is there are more braindead character than Viktor?
The only skills required to play him well is halfway decent aim. Just stand behind your team holding down RMB and shit out so much DPS you might as well be playing Skye.

is this game dead already?

So.. as someone who owns Overwatch, why should i play this?

Dead on curious.

One can only hope

There is no should. It's just a game.
It's free so you can try it and if you like it you can continue. If you can't be motivated to try it or if you don't like it after trying it then don't play it.
Simple as that.

Indeed
Why should you play Overwatch?
Why would you buy it in the first place.

Kek, I could play him with a controller and still win.

One shotting buildings like a mad man, instead of fucking up heals I was straight up removing them along the turrets.

i'm starting to feel bulldozer a lot more now that ying is infecting every game with her cancer.

...

Since yesterday, I've suddenly been matched with complete retards that go 0-9 and deal like 500 damage.

What the fuck happened?

It makes you realize you paid 40~60 dollars for an inferior game, and hopefully you'd an hero.

there were a lot of connection problems this past day, and the bot that takes over when somebody dcs is suicidal retardation

why did they make competitive mode walled behind having to unlock 12 characters

It takes like 1day playtime m8, harden the fuck up.

Can't play all day nigga, I actually have shit to do.

it's the same in compettive, just with longer queue times.

Only my team?

And they usually respond

as with all things you notice it more when it's on your team instead of when you're stomping the opponent with the skye bot that just runs right up to the point and dies.

Homework most likely

...

...

yeah, i saw that too, pretty well made video game

Everyday until you like it

...

Had no time to rename it, another match started

EdgyMan is too edgy for this shit. Holy shit his headshots are still so damn satisfactory.

No user, you just dont understand
Everyone but you dont play videogames

Daily reminder that hitscan weapons need to be removed entirely out of this game.

Skye-pickers need to be held down while someon stabs them repeatedly in the face.

sounds like somebody just got outskilled by a skye ult

Remember Tribes?

Did anyone try running this in WINE?

Git. Gud.
There's a reason of why Projectiles on this game deal so fucking much damage.
If you want to make the bullets a projectile as well, the damage will be increased and you will whine even more.

Post full pic, you faggot

There isnt one, thats how bad this community is

Except the hitscan weapons have more dps than any projectile by default. If you get surprised by edgelord as Drogoz or bomb king, depending on the edgelord's nerves you either get killed or it escapes. Landing every rocket on those agile pieces of shit is practically impossible if the opponent is even semi-competent. And even if you could land those rockets you would still get clicked in the head faster.

youll have to ask the user who drew it up

nah m8, you can kill 2k targets in two hits, p.sure hitscan characters cant do the same in the same time

why does the game look like 2005 World of Warcraft?

Because its a ripoff of Overwatch and literally all Blizzard does nowadays is the WoW asthetic.

Cause I lower the graphics a fucking lot so even if there's a lot of special effects on my screen it won't drop below 60FPS.

The high-level ranked community is seriously fucking comfy, you constantly see familiar faces who can actually take banter.

the hitscan weapons just have higher fire rates. yeah, you'll do 2k in 2 hits, and a viktor will do 2k damage over that same timespan too.

And missing ten shots is no issue for Viktor and co. but for drogoz it means death.

Drogoz is kinda funny character as you are forced to hide in the back, doing sudden thrusts and shoot a random barrage at the objective and quickly fall back down to heal from the damage that viktor and kinessa did during your jump. You can do that couple times per lifetime before the enemy Skye comes and kills you before you realize you are being shot.

And Drogoz burst can take down any character meanwhile hitscan can't burst.
Don't bring Kinessa since she's either Benny Hills trying to run from flanks constantly or free credits for flanks, she's only useful when her team protects her from flanks. For a natural counter to Drogoz she's pretty shitty since Drogoz can surprise her and take her down in two shots midair without her being able to react.

What's more, hitscan weapons have FALLOFF damage meanwhile projectiles DONT. You see that Androxus that you're whinning so much? When you are flying he's dealing 120-200 when he should be dealing 630.

tl;dr: Git gud Drogoz is in a really good position, heavily counters tanks, heavily counters projectiles, can burst down any damage/flank dealer, has more HP pool than the average damaging character with only Buck surpassing him.

No skill at all.

What is Makoa supposed to do?

Makoa is suppossed to ask her if she's challenging him.

viktors damage is huge, but you shouldnt be ignoring him. flankers are supposed to kill people like him, and with his horrific mobility hes one of the easiest kills in the game provided youre quick about it.


viktors damage potential is unusually high. perhaps in an effort to balance out his straighforward and predictable play style. the only surprises come from when he drops a grenade on an unaware opponent and follows it up with dakka. otherwise cooking the grenade to actually guarantee some damage with it means putting down his rifle.
in any case, drogoz should be grabbing some haven. and while im not sure it affects his flight speed, ive always done better with him when i prioritize nimble over everything else. i would appreciate feedback on that one.

Nimble says that it increases movement speed, moving in the sky is still movement since you are not using a movement SKILL.

It SHOULD work.

this is too much fun for me

Yea UI seems to fuck up a lot for me too.

ill admit i havent toyed around with drogoz's cards that much. what exactly does propel do? how is this different from wyrm jets?

Victor can only pull good damage if your team si retarded and doesn't pressure him, he's lke Kinessa, if left alone they can hurt you bad. But flankers play lke front liners so they get to dishout their damge liek crazy

forces you to use your fucking mobility. You realize you can launch yourself halfway across the map, right? Every 4-5 seconds?

Well, since I got no replies I tried it myself. The game doesn't "just werk", but after some tinkering it seems to work just fine using wine 1.9.20-staging on my almost 7 years old machine with open source amd drivers.

linux gaming in a nutshell

Let's just hope the game isn't shit. What happens with many games is that getting it to work ends up being the most enjoyable part. Anyways, I'll give it a serious try later.

This isn't your blog you stupid faggot.

Its everything they want user
Its their own personal hugbox after all

it's a hugbox for all user, don't be angry

I'm going to try out this game. The mounts kind of look odd for a FPS but we'll see. If it's that bad, I'll stick to Overwatch.

As someone that started yesterday, the mounts are quite important to the gameplay, especially on siege. Because the payload can go both directions, there's a huge stretch of land between the spawn and the capture point that the payload spawns on. It's not like you can just call it up whenever you want as far as I'm aware, you've only got it when you respawn.

They should have waited until after the payload hitbox fix to nerf grohk imo

...

...

I feel bad ) =

didn't know there were so many muslims on Holla Forums

Okay guys, I've been out of it for a while, but this thread has caught my interest.
Maybe I'm going to give it a shot, but tell me:
What's a paladin?

100 hours, I have no idea.

This
Flamethrower feels like the weakest weapon in the game

Fernando

It's not supposed to be strong. He's already the best tank in the game.

...

I've only lost 2 Fernando games and he's at Level 5. You aren't supposed to get kills, you're suppose to control the fight for your allies.

smh

he's just a nuisance, unless you're cassie in which case he just puts it in.

pretty much everyone in the game has very good offensive capabilities, at least compared to other class based shooters I'm aware of. It makes me think of Rootkit Fighter V where everyone can be played viably as a rushdown character, even the zoners.

I can confirm.

It's times like this I wish we could chat with our enemies. I could just feel the seething hatred of that player as he singled me out for the rest of the game instead of going for our Grover.

Do enemies hear what you say through chat in killcam? I always say "Thanks!" when I'm in a similar situation

guaranteed replies
:^)

I wish there was an after-game chat too.

I just want to shit talk like toolassisted all day.

There is…

nobody uses the pre or post game lobbies because they're auto minimized.

There is? I thought there was only the system log?

Check the lobby under your score. It'll be blank because no one knows about it

You can only chat with your enemies at the end of the match in the lobby.
I've been called hacker/cheater far too many times, thats how I noticed there was a chat at the end.


I think that they do, we can always create a custom game and try ourselves with friends but Im too lazy for that.

I like to think they do, I do it anyway.

well theres always the b taunt and emotes, especially as fernando.
i doubt anything but emotes go through to the enemy team.

is the fernando laughing i see sometimes his emote laugh or his taunt?

this game will be dead as tribes ascend in a year.

im not sure, but his taunt is basically built in laugh spam. also you can interrupt taunts in this game, i wonder if taunt interruption is some secret high tier technique

The thing its there is to much people playing againt's bots than playing againts real people.

Why is Cassie so much broken fun to play?

The enemy team was just shit, or you're playing with bots.

he is playing with bots, everyone is until you are level 5

Well fuck now I'm not sure if they were bots or not, I thought I was really playing against people because a Skye kept looking for me because I was contantly killing her.

And their names werent bots like.

If you're under level 5 you play against bots.

Your teammates are human. The enemies are all bots.

Thats kinda of a stretch

Tell me about it. One of the things that keeps Ying in check often is that a lot of my team mates don't realize that my illusions can heal them.

big green numbers arent obvious enough

You not being welcome here for mingling with this trash isnt obvious enough apparently.

Well, it's actually pretty fun. The art direction is vomit inducing, but I can see myself spending a week or two on this.

I hate Cassie so much, those arrow hitboxes are like fucking minivans.

Cassie is consistently the most annoying champion for me to kill with Bomb King, Kinessa or Viktor hit like a truck but at least I can twobomb them if I do it right. Drogoz not relevant, too busy leaping into line of sight of the entire rest of my team to hitscan him.
Rolling remains a really fucking solid mobility option for a few reasons.

her arrows use the same hitbox as her large titties, its quite ingenious really

I'm not entirely sure.

...

Where do I apply to get money for talking about shit games on an anime imageboard?

Mail Hi Rez/Blizzard, your one dollar will be deposited in your account immediately.
Dont forget to call anyone who critizes the shit game a "no fun faggot" and tell other people to report and filter them, works everytime.

The client won't let me make a new log in. The fun begins.

does it mention why?

I can't click on it period. Same goes for the official website. I guess I will just wait it out for now.

Just register on their official forums and you get a private message offering you an online marketer job. It's pretty good. You get a quarter per post and have flexible work hours. You just need to cap all your posts and link to them as proof.

I post on reddit, 9gag, facebook, twitter and the steam community along with both chans and usually make easy twenty bucks an hour. You don't need to shill only Paladins either. SMITE works too.

Needs more porn.

did you check "i am over 13"?

Does that mean I should stay with paladins and not go with Overwatch?

check this shit out mane

theyre really only similar in concept. even the characters who are similar play extremely differently, both because of how the characters themselves are designed and the layout of the maps.
there seems to be more emphasis on mobility, offense and flanking in paladins, i would say less focus on counter picking too although there are definitely unfavorable matchups, maybe that all changes if i play competitive mode.

Sounds pretty shit honestly

Btw someone is porting Ying's model so expect a real ahegao render with her model soon.

If you have a good idea for another render suggestions are welcome (Except for futafags)

shantae color scheme

At one post per minute that's about $15. You could easily do double that.

nah man

it being under hi rez should already set alarms off for most of Holla Forums.

i mean if you really want to try the worst game of the bunch then go ahead its f2p but don't expect this game to last compared to overwatch.

Learn to play.

did you already forget about battleborn?

Paladins is like Overwatch except it's better and free.

Just get a CRAPCUNTS general thread and stop shitting the board even further

...

Hide behind a tree nigga.

will an ulting woody actually provide cover for it?

not unless they've changed it in the last day. I die through walls in adjacent rooms

What's the problem?

If you hide behind an obstacle you can survive.

but it ignores obstacles and shields and height

It works with obstacles just fine, shitter.

And why would it ignore height?

yes, why would it indeed?

Either you're just being dumb and are still out in view of the bomb or it's just a bug. Either of which very are possible.

if it's a bug it's been a very consistent one since I started playing a few days ago. i have been 100% concealed from it and died, many times.

Funny how I died 0 times when I was concealed from it

Well unless you have videos or something, not much I can say. I've never unexpectedly been killed by the bomb when I was behind cover.

It depends on an obstacle. Trees do indeed block it. Most stones and ramps don't. Some walls and floors/ceilings don't either.

I can also throw my five cents about its vertical range. I have two accounts for it. One where I was on second floor of a building and getting caught in the blast radius while the bomb was planted at the control point and another where I was flying over a payload cart as Drogoz near the skybox and still got hit.

Most of the bullshit involved with it could just be avoided if they cut the blast radius by 33% so you can actually use your mobility skills to get away. Timer and damage are fine as they are. Hell even giving it the 5k tick damage would be acceptable is the blast radius on it wasn't so fuckhuge.

It's easy enough to dodge as it is, no need to make the ult useless

For the skye argument on her ultimate:
Yes you can block it with a tiny little crate.
No, even if you are on the sky like x6 times further than the safe distance you still get destroyed. Hiding on the second floor and such won't do as well.
Hiding behind the payload works, however, be fucking ready when the cary is moving because you will have to move accordingly to not get destroyed by the ultimate.

In short, if the area is quite open with no buckets/crates or a building, you are dead and you shouldnt bother to do anything besides pray that Fernando has his ult or that you are playing Ghrok to laugh at it.

She's OP. I would personally make her have cast time, exactly like Barik. So instead of Skye just dropping the bomb while chasing those who can run away she's stuck planting the bomb. That would make sense to have that radius and that damage since you can see her casting it and kill her before the bomb goes off or you can at least see what she's going to do, giving you more or less a second to react more than just her shouting "Time's ticking" and panicking looking where the bomb is so you hide and protect yourself, thus having an easier time to spot the bomb with this solution.

How many areas have no cover to hide behind?

i was on the moon and it killed me.

Watch your positioning when playing against a skye, buy illuminate. When you sense the ult coming make sure you can dive behind a wall/rock/object and you're fine. If you lose note of that you will likely die to it.

Spread the fuck out so the penta kills don't happen.

Despite Hi-Rez proving their shittiness thrice by now, you still play this shit.

smh

*skye dealing 15% more damage against poisoned targets

This game has objectives that force positioning, these are coincidentally the locations where skye ults are found, they have limited protection within walking distance, and the protection is easily negated by the skye taking an extra step before planting.

If you've got flank mobility or troll walk then fine, but most champions cannot escape a properly timed and placed skye ult.

Where? There's an object to hide behind everywhere.

One of the ice ones has a box, one of the temple ones has a wall that conceivably work as cover but have never worked for cover when i've tried. Most do not have reachable cover for people that are contesting the objective.

Oh no there's an enemy skye, better not get illuminate or stay around objects to hide behind. That might actually be intelligent.

Why are you still in this thread?

Why are you responding?

better not contest the objective to win

That ultimate, is, fucking, broken.

Skye ult is not only broken because of Lmao 3.5K, it's because it's an area denial where people are forced to get OFF the fucking point, winning EVERY SINGLE TIME there is an overtime or forcing people to run from the bomb and thus easily picked up since they can't fight back, also the bomb is hard to notice in only one second meanwhile Bomb King's grumpy bomb can be seen meters away while it has a lot of fucking sound clues.

So by your logic bomb king, that character that can knock everyone across 80% of the map, is the most OP champion in the game.

oh, you've just never played the game before

It totally seems to me that you did not read my post at all.

controlling the objective doesnt necessarily mean standing on it.

have fun never winning a game I guess.

Oh almost forgot grumpy bomb, which is out about 90% of the time.

Bomb King the most OP champ.

Contest it intelligently instead of running on it alone like a dip shit vs 4 guys. Depending on how many people are up positioning is everything, getting caught alone when you're not confident in outplaying people is asking for it. The more you die/try shit against the ult the less will surprise you. You'll hit a point that it'll only take really good ults to kill you. Because of the perception of how OP she is the bandwagon players are a plenty and easy kills due to predictability. Think about what they would do and lure them into a trap to fuck them.

Could also just not get caught

Sometimes it just a good bomb and it works as intended. Do wish you could escape it by going straight up but I guess its a mushroom cloud effect (feels like it to be fair)

you didn't respond to a single point he made.

sometimes you gotta control an aggressive position to break up their offense. it isnt just about butting heads in the middle of the map.

Is this trolling or genuinely retarded.

Can't tell with Holla Forums proving time and again that they're shit at video games.

that really is the most grating aspect of her ult, especially after they nerfed overtime (a change i dont fully agree with).

...

And sometimes you have to contest the point.

The sage advice given was to pre-emptively dodge the skye ult by never going onto a point or cart and just hiding by boxes. That's not a workable strategy if you want to win the video game.

should hide behind a wall and spit at them m8

Where?

It was the whole topic of discussion this past hour with ducking behind cover that doesn't exist if you're on in contest range of the point.

See here and for reference.

This is the only scenario where the ult could be considered broken but you can just hide on one side of the card. Even then an ultimate that cripples an entire team ability for a point in overtime seems fair in a sense.


Overtime is much better this way because the old way you could do stupidly petty shit to win overtime just by sheer force of constant reinforcement even if you killed them immediately after reaching the point. This is much more fluid and consistent with the better team winning.


Not much to really respond to considering the abilities entire point is area denial. Its easy to escape unless you're caught in a bad position. get gud


Good strategy is to kill the Skye before she can even get in position to bomb. Easy enough

But when caught by the bomb their are options you have to survive unless you were caught out like a dipshit then Skye wins the encounter.

Right, staying around objects means never going onto a point.

Must be nice to get competent teams when you play Makoa.

they are mutually exclusive when the point is out of range of objects, yes.

what points are out of cover to hide behind?

What characters have you guys been playin?
I recently got Androxus and he's pretty fun. I have good aim so he has insane kill potential.
I use to play evie but she just feels like a worse andro.

Yeah he's top tier definitely.

If you have the raw aim skill Androxus is one of the best in the game. Revolver focused with mobility with insane damage potential (even shitters can fuck up teams with his ult).

Personally I prefer Evie playstyle, its more solider like and more about mind games then raw mechanics. Plus I like projectiles, airshots make me feel special.

I've been playing tons of Fernando due to nofrontlineslol but its mostly easy wins as long as a healer exists. I want to play more Makoa but I feel its risky without a backup frontline. Should try a shell based built

Got Sky, Cassie, Kinessa,Ying and Fernando to lvl 6.

THey are all fun, but Fernando really is a game changer, his shield and HP is just good good, and if you card right you can being so fucking annoying its disgusting. Also Ying with a decent tank or good dps can be fucking devastating.

Right now I'm trying to learn Makoa, but I keep getting shit teams, that's its souring me on him. I keep getting CoD faggots that chase kills and don't help with capturing or moving the payload. Last 3 matches ended as 1/10. 3/13. and 0/4 and top score for my team.

Why do burgers have such shit pleb taste in vidya?

I already discussed which ones had cover, and then how to mitigate that cover. Please learn to read.

ive honestly never tried taking cover behind the cart, i assumed it wouldnt work since shields dont block it.


tell me about it, i always have full health teammates run away when i try to put my shield over them


she already did before the ice blink removal. one reason would be her ult. taking those cards that refill ammo is a must.


there was an user in a previous thread who swore by the shell, im hesitant to try something like that out since only the enemy isnt scared of running under the shield. honestly, i wish the radius were a bit smaller so that there was a point to using it against a contesting enemy.

I use to really enjoy teleporting/flying all over the place with evie, but with andros dash I kind of get the same feeling of juking enemies except I can actually get kills at the end of it.
I've played fernando a few times and he's surprisingly fun dashing at niggers and getting more kills than flankers on my teams. I only play him if I am queued with someone though

They all have cover, please learn to play.

or

None of your points have nothing to do with how OP her ultimate is.
If everyone is busy doing something and suddenly Skye appears with an ultimate, EVERYONE has to run meaning that her team can take EVERYONE off easily. The tank' cant stop to shield people, the healer can't stop to heal. You're just thinking that is 5vsSkye when that is not fucking true, that is where big part of the problem resides, it's not only that you have to take care of her and her OP ultimate it's that you have to care of her entire team while with that overpowered skill kit that she has.

Shit players are always shit and obviously you can evade that. The problem is when a good Skye knows how to place the bomb, there is ONLY ONE COUNTER and that is Fernando's ultimate. Before Grover's ult could counter it as well, now he can't. More than a nerf it felt like a fucking buff.


But the problem here is not "They are going to win by pushing the cart and we need to get out". The problem here is, a good Skye saves her ultimate even if they are about to win the 4th point by pushing and saves it to contest the capture.
Then, when we are 3/4 each team, she just have to use the bomb on overtime with her staying on the point. That's it, free fucking win right there. Not even Barik's ultimate has that effect, not even Bomb King's ult has that effect. It's straight up broken and win matches with no needed skill whatsoever.

Do you know how hard it is for example as a tank to pay attention to someone invisible (even if you have illuminate) when you're facing the enemy tank + support + some damage character? Do you know how much is going to work for the tank to turn around and hit Skye? Yes the tank will harm her but he will die while trying because DPS of her plus the other team, this strategy only works when your entire team knows what focus is and what illuminate is. Good luck with that one.


The cover that all the points have are poor and ends up in getting yourself killed by herself or her team instead of the bomb. When we talk about the ultimate ALONE, yes, it's all about "git gud" and dodge it, but you are fucking forgetting the whole package that comes WITH the ultimate.
3.5K instant damage AoE with a character with insane DPS and poison that is the fastest character in the game, two invisibilities (three with the right cards), can fuck your vision with smoke screen and doesn't need to fucking cast her ultimate, all of that not counting her entire fucking team.

why do you insist on being so wrong?

Also re: carts blocking. They don't.

I'm going to slap you there. The carts DO block her ultimate.

Why do I even bother.

maybe it depends on your hitbox? half of ruckus is exposed over the thing

i just stood at 180 degrees relative to the cart from her ult, it did not block it.

The carts DO block it, however the hitbox is kinda fucked and you need to pay attention to the colour of the bomb.
More often than not you will not find the spot since the cart is probably moving. And if she jumps into the cart and puts the bomb on top, have fun


You ARE a nigger though for just going "git gud" when her ultimate is broken.
It's like saying "Kinessa is not weak man its just that you suck at her, you can do this and that" but when you compare her with the rest of the cast, she IS weak regarding of how good you can be with her. Well, this argument of yours sounds similar to me.

Kinessa can be a game changer, but flanks have such an easy way against her that it's either Benny Hill with Kinessa vs Flank running nonstop till the Flank reaches her or she reaches her teammates or she just straights up dies. In both cases she stops dealing damage

Sorry I'm not a shitter that finds skye hard to deal with.

You sure showed me.

This totally proves the point that you are not right since you can't defend your position neither reach a consensus.

no clue really don't see the appeal of this game anymore I mean it had something going for itself back in closed alpha's and beta but it looks to try to copy the the glory of overwatch somewhat with a mix of battleborn in it as well.

eh, just uninstall

Funny I just played a game of payload where on defense we held it no issue holding the hard in position but lolskye got a pentakills on us spread out around the area because we were careless, twice. They ended up capping because of it. She did fuck all outside that in the game.

We won the payload push by a good while so on the attacking side because she never had time to build up the ult/couldn't do shit otherwise. Point is she is weak as fuck outside the ult.


I don't know, I don't remember the last time I've lost because of Skye

Are you even trying, Paladins playerbase?

What are the levels of people complaining about skye being op?

What worries me most is that we have generals about this trash everyday now and nobody is doing a goddamn thing about it when this shit is Call of Duty/ ASSFAGGOTS tier and theres only metafagging and Tumblr cancer in it.
I thought we were supposed to be better than cuckchan.

well ain't that a coincidence.

WOW

SHOCKING

I bet you take morale boost too you faggot

morale boost is hilarious on ruckus

The bots? No they are not trying.


Well that explains fucking everything.


No, it's more like.

I hate ruckus and both explosive damage characters. I have played almost nothing after Ying's patch.

Stopped playing skye once people on my MMR stopped being retards and actually learned how to LoS the obvious bomb.

Sorry about you being shit though.

You're really great at discussions man. When you have nothing to say you just use fallacies.

Do you realise that using fallacies nonstop actually fucks up any actual point that you make? People will just ignore you to the point that when you actually say something that makes sense noone will hear you / read you. But hey, better believe that it is better that "shitters" don't read what you say, because everyone else that does not agree with you is a "shitter", right?

wew, reliable dodging

I wish bomb king actually fucking worked, he is fun.

just give bomb king skyes ult, so he can drop it from 90 feet in the air

Yes he is, but his current status does not make me want to play him.

And I just can't enjoy Drogoz. Ruckus in the other hand is not that I dislike him like Drogoz, is that I straight up hate his gameplan of "stand on point M1", it's just a worse fernando just for damage. I don't feel attracted by any of these two character's gameplay.


BK can poppy bomb into ultimate, however it's still 2.5k, can't into shields and even if it stuns, he will only have time to kill one.

does bonus damage against structures from bulldozer apply against dorf barrier?

the aoe isnt hiroshima either

Yeah drogo feels so shitty to play, and he works. Once they fix BK I'll be playing him a lot I think he'll be very strong when playing with actually teammates.

have you tried using propel?

yeah, ruckus' game plan is pretty brain damaged, but he matches up well against barik/ying which is fucking everywhere.

It's like talking about D.Va during OW open beta all over again.

Bulldozer only works against Barik's turrets and Ying's clones.
And yes, Bomb King's AoE is not as big either.


Never said that Ruckus was a shit character although he is a SHIT tank, he works better as you said with a Ying or another tank.

I haven't tried a thrust build too much, I just don't like having slow as shit projectiles and getting sniped out of the air. If I want to float in the air and actually get kills I'll play andro.

heres the thing about propel, as long as you dont slow down or land the speed boost stays with you, grab some nimbleness while youre at it and acquire bomb kings mobility.

What's the 'xx ms' below fps?

ping?

Press F9, there's fps, ping to server, and some ms measuring who knows what

He was designed to give a character CoD fags could play to hook them in.

Just change your F key to left Shift and they're set.

I always pick morale boost on everyone, except when I face enemies with shields, then I might switch to Wrecker if I don't feel confident enough.

It shows the time your computer took to render the last frame. I thought it was pretty obvious.

=what the fuck this ID=

That shit is starting to get annoying now

Go back to cuckchan.

no u

Says the paladins poster


That's cute.

No it's the frame time.

smh

wow, you really do need to go back, I was just joking before.

I love this game but it seriously needs a lot of changes. This strict matchmaking for casual is bullshit, payload maps are way to maze like and offer to many points for the enemy to get behind your defenses and the countdown for payload maps is so short that it doesn't offer the defending team enough time to set up a defense.

Also they need to let you choose another character in the middle of a match for counter picking. For example Bomb King with his grumpy bomb is a serious hard counter to Barik and pretty much makes him useless. If you choose a character and see the enemy has chosen a counter to you you are pretty much fucked for the rest of the match.

That's what cards are for…

Oh, in that case I'm sorry for spreading misinformation. I really thought it was the rendering latency of the last frame. If it's not that, then what exactly is this "frame time"?

You must be joking. The little stat boosts that the cards give may help a little but they are not going to make the fundamental skills that your character has change enough to not be rammed up the ass by characters who take advantage of the flaws of your skills.

...

Here try this new site

google.com


Ah… classes play completely differently, I have one set for barricade, one set for turret HP/HPS, and one set for destroying turrets to give me 500HPS

This system is better than

Where the fuck is the fun in that? Where is the teamplay in that? Everyone switching because someone is fucking them just destroys all synergy that they had prepared on the lobby while selecting characters.


I take it, you actually have not seen properly the cards.
Etc

It is not only "+X% Damage / Accuracy", many cards are actually game changing. Afterwards, you have items in game to help you out even more.

What's more, how will you properly learn a character if you don't play on his/her weaknesses? If some character is really annoying you and you can't deal with it, you still have a team that you can rely on and ask them to help you out.
You're a tank and when the shields goes down Kinessa obliterates you? Ask the flank to kill her or at least scare her away.
You're a damage dealer that stays behind and picked up 1v1 by flanks by surprise constantly and losing? Tell your support / flanks and /or move closer to the front lines so the enemy flank have a harder time.

That's not even taking in the fact that he can do it every 5 seconds with the loadout card that reduces the cooldown.

I'm disappointed with the lack of elf.

And Barik can sprint away from the grumpy bomb and place the turrets and barricade back again because his cooldown is actually quite low.

As I said before
Now Bomb King is spending all he has on the point and is nearly naked against a Flank. Now you'll tell me "See!? Bomb King is countered he should be able to switch".

Yeah no, where's the skill on every single fucking person switching to counters constantly? It's just a huge switching that makes no sense and it end ups in a weird 1v1v1v1v1 totally forgetting teamplay and trying to play with the strengths and weakness of the team.


Have a Zankuro girl for now user.

Now that's not true, Grumpy bomb is out like 80% of the time with cards.

No thanks.

Anyways, I was asking you to elaborate exactly because the definition for frame time that I found says that
and since that's what I said originally and you said I was wrong, it left me confused.

anyways, if youre concerned about aoe taking your turrets out why are you clumping them together?

He'll always throw the bomb from the same place after throwing the first one if he has died or started the match. If he moves to another area it will be too dangerous for him, (still possible).

However the radious of his bomb is not that big and can be walked off, the same can be said about using something that blocks it like shields.

Grumpy bomb does indeed win matches and it's quite annoying, but you can still do many things against it: Once again Bomb King is using his skills on the point and being easier for flanks to take down (or DMG classes that can just aim at him)

he still possesses the power of flight even without his grumpy bomb available

Have you ever played Bomb King? Best way to get your grumpy bomb out safely:
Now you can throw the bomb twice are far and be at a safe distance while doing it.

Yes while clearing out where your position is mid-air while Poppy bomb is on CD, he is easily taken by any character at that point if he didn't land on a good position.

Bomb King is really not an issue for Barik, he is annoying indeed, but he's not broken to the point that it is a "free win" he is still rather weak against other dmg/flank characters 1v1, all that Bomb King has is pissing off tanks and burst-killing by surprise people with his amazing poppy mastery if done well. He is not an easy character however.

how are these people so terrible but they always know how to use the vgs to say oops

vgs spam is the most important skill to develop first

Why spend time reading what your cards do when you can spam VEG and VVGG?

Sometimes you just fuck up

...

Comp is always more fun

I'm getting real tired of carrying my team while they all buy aggression.

id like that, but thats always been a tribes thing so maybe they want to keep it that way

They own the license to Tribes, they can use it and it'd be something the Tribes community would love.

Don't let people tell you that comp is just another "casual", people here actually tries to play.

does wrecker boost the shield damage from drogoz salvo, or does that not technically count as weapon damage?

What are good cards to base your deck around for Grohk? I feel more helpless playing him over any other character, even buggy af bomb king

wait so hes not supposed to randomly deal 0 damage? its not some kind of dud mechanic?

And shit like Poppy bomb not seeming to exist on this timeline half the time? Yeah thats bugged to shit.

the problem is this game doesnt use blast processing

they try, they're still shit though, which ends up worse in many ways.

frog island is shit

It does


Your totem of course

thats good to know, since i seem to be forced to play drogoz or bomb king if i want to stand a chance, just gives me worse and worse teammtes. shit i might just make a new account, i dont feel like dealing with that.

I want to turn Drogoz into an rocket launcher/shock rifle character like Unreal Tournament. How do I do this?

He has potential with jumping around with his jump jet being able to go faster than his run speed, so I can probably gain speed. And the "Q" looks like the alt fire for the UT rocket launcher. The bubble thingy he shoots is like a dumbed down fire version of the shock rifle as well.

I've never had an interest in this game until I saw his stuff.

Mess around with the cards and see what you come up with. A build focused on forward thurst along with fast spitfire would catch a lot of people off guard

New thread where

Since the rockets are a (relatively fast) projectile, I wouldn't get more than one level of lung capacity. Propel is a must and it may allow you to keep up with the projectile. It's very satisfying.


I'm not so sure salvo works well with firespit. When you blow it up they'll get knocked away. You would have to hit them with every rocket and then detonate the fireball which could be difficult given the random nature of salvo.

Evie is fun af

Yes, but I find she becomes extremely difficult against an aware opponent if they choose to stack movement speed, especially since getting off an ice block debuff is nearly impossible now. Your margin for error is rather narrow because of the nature of her weapon. Good thing her mobility is bordering insanity sometimes allowing you to disengage, although she's far easier to kill after the last patch.

Which champion is the best for shitting on Skye niggers?

Barik's turrets have a stealth detection radius, but he himself isn't the best for chasing her down and dicking her.
She does more than enough damage to kill Pip, but hes also great at surviving if hes expecting her. Once shes sick of trying to kill you, he can easily thwart her encounters with your allies, even considering her healing reduction.
Other flanker types can slap her around all day if you engage first, but if you're carrying hard and she decides to target you while you're in the middle of something else it can be trouble.

makoa

Makoa it is.
