Paladins reset update causes massive shitposting

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LAWBREAKERS TO MAKE A COMEBACK

Who knew?

I didn't say that it would. I'm saying that they're not taking an action that would actually get results because they're the sort who confuse being good with not doing anything that harms someone, which is what needs to be done in this case.

You mean cucks

That's an oversimplification, but yes.

How is a piece of shit company like hi rez still alive?

They hit and run with gaming trends more quickly than their competitors

And also some people refuse to learn.
Someone asked once "should I invest time in this game ?" when the game had just entered open beta. Back then the game was at least better than Overmeme and the economy was very unbalanced in favor of the player. I said "Yes, but don't ever, EVER think about investing money in the game as Hi-Rez has been known to pulling bait&switch for many of their games and you will end up regretting it if you stick to the game". Afterwards, someone replied to me something along the lines of "salty Tribescuck spotted" and that what I said shouldn't be taken seriously.
Months later, Hi-Rez "fixed" the economy so that it became completely obnoxious to get currency (which is needed to buy cards, thus influencing your ability to perform well). Funny story actually : redditors whales complained that they were sitting on too much money previously and it was them that asked Hi-Rez to "fix" the economy. Now this happens and I can't help but have a smug feeling about people so intent on sucking corporate cock that they didn't even heed the warnings of people who dealt with the same company before and who knew how they operated.

Reddit. Fucking swear.

Kek, so they decided to copy the thing that is going to kill the game?
Pandering to dps classes is cancer, that's what also killed TF2

...

So if I'm reading the update right, you should just play ranked if you don't like the lootbox upgrading system because you have all the cards and they're all at the same level in ranked.

Why are people complaining?

Take the mini sentries nerf for example, they were great for quick point denial and forcing rocketjumpers to reroute.
With normal sentries you need to start slowly building that sentry to at least lvl 2 to be useful, and even then a couple rockets kills it.
Implying, of course, that there aren't any rocketjumpers as you start your nest, because then you won't even have an opportunity to start building.

Cue the mini sentry nerf due to them crying over "op", and now mini sentries start with low hp and take ages to build up.

Oh, and let's also give soldiers the Beggar's Bazooka, so they can unload 3 rockets onto your turret, something you can't avoid nor repair.

Or even another engie nerf:
The short circuit

That's probably how they're used 2% of the time, 98% of the time they're just dropped in the middle of fights to annoy the shit out of the enemy that's distracted by a more dangerous threat. Not exactly OP but annoying as fuck to play with. 1 of the several annoying additions to the game that fucked up the flow and made the game unfun in a desperate attempt to keep it fresh.

And I know all the logistics you're throwing at me is bullshit in a competitive setting because they always threw out the gimmicky new items and stick with stock. Not that competitive has any place in TF2 anyways, although that's not going to stop valve from cramming it into a game it doesn't belong in to farm sheckles.

It seems like you're upset you can't stall the entire enemy team with 1 sentry gun.

if you and your team are retarded, of course it can, but let's recap sentry counters

you tell me

dps players are mainly retards that see pro's go on killstreaks and think "THAT CAN BE ME" and go full rambo
spoilers, there are a lot of ways to counter that random behaviour
and instead of learning, they go to the forums and start crying to nerf their counters

I wrote up a response addressing all your "counters', the only legitimate ones being uber, bonk, demo, soldier, airblasts which are all blocked by airblasting pocket pyros, but I thought about it and realized that if you listed fucking snipers as a counter to sentry guns it's honestly not even worth getting into this discussion.

The whole game revolves around stalling the oposing team one way or another to the point that Ubers are strictly designed to break stalemates like that.
All this shit does is make sentries a less viable option for this so you might as well pick Medic instead and go down the 6s meta.

You can add to that how stickies work, since they were nerfed before and then rebuffed again because Demos kept crying about "not being able to destroy sentries anymore".
Nevermind that it was bullshit, they just wanted to lay stickies on their oponent's feets and explode them as contact grenades instead because aiming is hard.
Nevermind that the Soldier's rockets have an innate mechanic that makes them deal 90 damage to sentries regardless of all variables and this could have been used for stickies as well so it doesn't fuckup balance regarding spamming it at someone's feets.

The huge problem with the game was always the pandering to Soldiers and Demos that were meant to be jack-of-all-trades generalists but instead they are so good at each field that they end up outperforming everyone else.
Every other class is merely a side-grade exactly like weapons, with the Soldier\Demo being the stock choice.
You want more speed and another jump? Pick Scout, but you'll lose some HP and your "rockets" don't do damage past mid-range.
You want more HP? Pick Heavy, but you lose speed and your main weapon is much slower now.
Or don't do any of that shit because the classes are so versatile that you can adapt to most situations much faster so why bother?

The only change that was needed (and I'd love to see a private server testing this just to confirm it) was every explosion from rockets, grenades and stickies having it's range tripled but it's damage halved. That's fucking it.
You want single target high damage? You bring a Heavy, Sniper, Scout or Spy.
You want AoE low damage? You bring Soldier or Demo.
A scout does a meatshot and it racks up 100 damage, while a point blank rocket only gets to 50. However, toss a rocket in the middle of 3 guys and you easily reach 120 total damage (since it's not point blank).

There, an easily definable and still usefull role for the class that it already had to begin with: punish clumps of characters\buildings and hit behind corners.
It's generalist as fuck since it helps in many situations, it's noob friendly as all generalist classes should be since you're gonna be usefull anyway, it keeps all advanced movement techniques but it doesn't overlap the aplications of Scouts, Snipers, Heavies, Spys, etc.

WE DID IT REDDIT

Not him but a sniper poking at a sentrys health getting the engineer to come heal it making him poke his head out is a viable strategy.

you can't be serious, you're also counting class combos? i was talking about 1v1, maybe if you took your fedora off you would be reading things properly
nevermind that 6/8 classes that i listed can remove a nest by themselves by not being a retard

and you tell me how a long range class that outclasses sentry radius and one shots the engie EVEN WITH A FUCKING CHARGED STOCK BODYSHOT (thus making the nest easy to pick off) isn't a counter

thank god for a serious reply dubsman, you nailed it with wanting to make them be jack of all trades classes and how the classes compensated for each other.
that reminded me of the pyro jetpack

Also, yes. If a sniper can even touch your sentry, that's the engineer's fault for building it somewhere it can be shot out of it's range.
And a Pyro airblasting the rockets back is not necessarily an easy feat to pull considering you either need someone to draw in the bullets or you're likely not gonna survive those before you can airblast the rockets back.
The scout with Bonk is also a special case since it requires the intervention of someone else to take down the sentry, otherwise he's just passing through if he even manages to avoid the push from the bullets.

You're also forgetting that the Engy isn't a sentry with a shotgun, he has a lot more to his kit than just that, teleporters being far more important IMO.
However it still goes back to the previous classes making teleporters redundant. The amount of work required to setup and protect teleporters does not make sense if you're just teleporting people that can rocketjump\stickyjump on top of health packs on the way, you'd be better off playing some other class yourself.
It only makes sense to take in the slower classes that don't make sense to bring in because generalists.

Plus, since a lot of them have decent mobility and health packs\ammo is spread around, decent map knowledge makes your dispensers useless. At best you'd be holding down points, which is a moot point when sentry nests can be taken down by burst damage done by the usual suspects.

To be honest, you were doing the same with the scout. And proper sentry placement requires no LOS to sniper hangouts, otherwise you're just asking for it. However I suppose you can consider the last one a limitation imposed on you by another class so even if there's no Sniper, they are still limiting where you can build anyway.

It was standard Valve practice of solving a problem by aplying brain damage to it.
Pyro has terrible mobility so getting into positions it can actually ambush people in unpredictable ways is way harder than it should.
There's always moon jumping but it's so short and small, it doesn't actually get you to many new places.
All they had to do was making airblast move you backwards if you're airborne so you could jump, airblast the ground and gain a second jump.
It creates a small gap of vulnerability for you since you can't fire right away but it would easily let you reach new places without having to equip yet another weapon, plus it would cost ammo from a limited pool too.
It's essentially the goddamn Force of Nature secondary use for every flamethrower, why is this shit hard to imagine, Valve?

Yeah, i was thinking about a bonked scout exploiting the lvl3 sentry rockets to redirect them to the engie, but that's really far fetched, so nevermind that, it really depends of another class to be useful.

Didn't even thought about the teleport paradox, and how by making slow classes useless, or giving them mobility items, they made tp's a waste of resources.

How come everytime something on reddit happens some fuckhead has to come over here and make a thread about it?
Why are you checking the Paladins subreddit OP?

Or just don't play shitty games to begin with.

Because people want to laugh at reddit. This isn't worth laughing at though; it's just kind of pathetic.

Its fun to laugh at disabled people

Put the toads on the other guys armors.
I would watch and play this.

...

No. I will make others stop playing it too.

Not people. Cucked soyboys.

Because all greedy companies must go down.

Even better: never pay for games, no matter how good they are. The moment that you pay for a game, is the moment that the next Hi-Rez is born.

...

...

What the fuck is up with Hi-Rez?
They'll put out a game that's auctually pretty decent, has the potential to get better, and is monitized decently.
Then out of fucking nowhere they'll completly revamp several of the games core mechanics into utter trash then start ultimate jewery with microtransactions.
And it totally kills the game, every single time.
How have they not learned by now?

So quirky and cute as h*ck! That'll show them for sure! it won't

The solution is to spam them with Bomb King Porn

How haven't YOU and other beta cucks learned yet? Western devs are all scammers.
Go find other games to pay instead of insisting on getting anything good from a clearly greedy studio.

What an awful name for a game. Might as well just call it NOUN.

...

It amazes me how Hi-rez is even in business. Even if you like any of their current games they constantly give out free stuff, including skins and premium currency.

Bomb King deserved to be in a better videogame, honestly.

penus into elf underboob

This game was pretty fun when it launched

Never underestimate the power of whales on MMO games

Free to play games are a government psychological programming exercise designed to safely instil a state, or in this case developer, centric behavioral complex. They do not want games to be defined by what the player can do, but rather what big brother developer says they can do.

Actually, if we're talking specifically freemium games and not freeware.
It's just a way to apply the business strategy of casinos to games and skirt around getting a license to run gambling establishments.

Yeah but at the least Smite, you can rent every character for 24 hours for not even 10% of what it costs to own them permanently(which is peanuts because you get a shitton of boosters and bonuses and whatnot), and last I played most of the decent skins were the not chest exclusive ones that you could get the gems for by simply logging in daily for two months.

In that regard, Paladins would be much better than Overcuck
There are many more variables in this game than in other CRAPCUNTS
But the biggest problem with the cards is the fact that, if you play ranked games, the whole card levels doesn't matter at all, since everyone can only use Level 3 cards. That is the biggest issue with the level system: It became useless outside of casual matches. It is hard to understand their logic.

Maeve lewds or gtfo

Eh, I'd cum on her abs. 7.125/10

And then, you get addicted and become a tool for the marketing companies while the developers can ruin the game and you are prevented from doing anything.
Avoid it.

Like the time when a Q&A was open for Super Mario Odyssey.
Motherfuckers will probably not get sued for disguising their gambling bullshit.

Yeah reminds me of how Gamergate threads thought they were epic vandalizing companies with blackpage fax spam.

Who is this semen demon

How's that gamergoy boycott going?

This has to be one of the dumbest fucking things i've ever heard. That's like posting in LOL threads and saying you're protesting against the game industry.

The fax spam had nothing to do with gamergate threads you fucking newfag, also far more than just blackpage faxes were sent.

Do you work for Ubisoft by any chance?

That sounds a lot like all the D.Va nerfs in Overwatch, but speaking of Paladins, I stopped playing some time after Vivian's release, another assault rifle character with tons of damage and her ultimate (a pair of drones who also attack when she does and so her DPS goes higher) lasted until she was killed, I thought OW was unbalanced and then HiRez kept surprising me.

The FAX spam was for Valve, right?

I'm pretty sure it was aimed at colleges.

I recall some protest against Valve after they said something about how much a FAX costed to them.

I think I remember that now. Shortly after the paid mods thing happened Gabe went to reddit and mentioned something about the cost of faxes.

Yep, that's it, the paid mods thing.

The fuck is Paladins?

...

And surely you also think that nuJewFront II backed off their jewry with the credits microtransactions after le epic downvotes?

Don't be so gullible
