I've been playing pic related on Steam, it's actually pretty fun.
I used to play Overwatch too, but stopped because it's meh. I actually think this is the better game.
However, can someone legitimately explain something to me:
Blizzard are the biggest crybabby company in the gaming industry - how come they haven't sued Hi-Rez into the ground for this game?
in Paladins there are characters who literally look like they have been stolen from Overwatch - Hanzo (Sha Lin), Reinhardt (Fernando), Pharah (Drogoz), Genji (Maeve), Mcree / Reaper combo, (Androxus) D.Va (Ruckus), Zarya (Torvald) and there are probably more but I don't know Paladins well enough to know what they are.
Some of them have similar to downright copied character designs, and their movesets are VERY similar too
So why haven't Blizzard done their usual and cried while fapping to their own porn and suing them? Can someone explain this?
ps Paladins is the better game
I would like to know too. They've even got a Roadhog clone that has a hook ability.. that would surely hold up in court with Blizzards jew lawyers?
They think Paladins is actually and ad game for OW. Anyone who likes Paladins will sure pay shekels to blizzard
Because unfortunately Blizzard can't copyright vague concepts like Asian Archer Man or Mech Suit with Two Guns or Flying Dude with Rocket Launcher, which are about where the similarities end for all the characters.

why is it unfortunate? Or would you like JewBlizz to have a monopoly on every single game market?
PALADINS WAS IN DEVELOPMENT BEFORE OVERWATCH!!It's funny how people try to claim Paladins sin't a blatant OW ripoff. I like it, but it's blatant.
Not sure how true it is, but I've heard that HiRez had been working on Paladins since before OverWatch was truly it's own thing. So some of the character designs could actually be more "stolen" from Blizzard. Again, not sure how true it is.
Also, think of all the power armor suit designs are in games. It's pretty difficult to really get different when you have "cool looking helmet and mechanized armor power suit". You can't just copyright an idea.
As much as Reinhart might be like someone from Paladins (or viseversa) you can't sue unless it is an absolute direct rip.

>blatant overwatch rip-off
>literally nothing is the same between the games except a few of the character's basic attacks
most of those are in tf2
why hasnt valve sued blizzard
Pip is cute, cute!
play for more than 4 hours and realize they ripped off blizz no more than blizz ripped off other games
BOMB KING

For those unfamiliar, Paladins functions almost identically to OW in that it's team/objective based 6v6 shooter, where Paladins and Overwatch differ is that for each ability a character has (for outside of example, Sol 76's rockets, dash and healing field) you can customize that ability with a deck of cards, and then boost each card with points to form a specific strategy/playstyle.
FOR EXAMPLE, reduced cooldown on skills, healing kills (which can be scaled up) shorter reload on weapons, enhanced pushback, etc... Etc....
So again, it functions almost identically to overwatch, but it's free and you can customize your playstyle fairly deeply from the get go.
>>378367431
paladins is 5v5, not 6v6
>>378367431
Except Paladins is 5v5 so it's really just an objective based team shooter, which it has in common with pretty much every other fucking online shooter game ever made.

Oh sorry. I guess I wasn't really paying attention to it, I hate moba bullshit
>>378367704
>its not a team based shooter now it's a moba
get fucked retard
>>378365338
Paladins used to be much, much different than Overwatch and was better than it at that time.
Now it's literally just Overwatch but with a clusterfuck of bad map, hero, and gameplay design.
>>378367775
it's esports trash and i bet you love it. thanks for the evaluation fuckworm
>>378365943
>who is pudge
>>378365338
They can't sue them, since none of the assets are ripped directly from any other game.
Similarities or even direct copies are always going to be fine as long as the design is different.
Plus, Paladins's gameplay is actually a lot more different, much more MOBA esque, while Overwatch's is more resembelant to TF2... They wouldn't win the court in that case.
However, they could have sued that shitty mobile overwatch clone that LITERALLY used the same model of Widowmaker in it, but since it's made in China, they cant do shit. Unfortunately.
>>378367775
That may be but I team raped your motha's pooter freak
Paladin sluts are objectively better than Overwatch sluts
>>378365338
>Paladins "copied" some skills ideas for a few characters
>Blizzard copied a whole character concept
Blizzard don't have any right to do such a thing.
>>378365338
>a western game with jiggling psychics
were any trademarks infringed ? No.
was any copyrighted material infringed ? No.
were any patents infringed ? No.
Therefore there is nothing to sue over.

This game has three major problems:
1. The game is full of bugs and glitches and runs on shitty servers that break half the time.
2. They're very, very slowly turning it into a tedious grindfest to avoid bad press. New players get fucked even harder with every update.
3. It has the worst balance I've ever seen in a competitive fps game.
I imagine at some point they'll fix one of these but never all three. Overwatch for all of the issues it has is a better game.
>>378369163
>has the worst balance i've ever seen in a competitive fps
so you haven't played overwatch then?
Paladins is meh because LowRez Studios doesn't know how to maintain games. Not to mention that with each update, at least a dozen bugs are introduced and are not. fixed until 2-3 patches later. At one point it was fun, and was at a point where you can arguably call it good, but it's basically exists for the 3rd World at this point.
So many Spanish/Portuguese speakers and Russians. Why is there so many of them?
>>378369791
I have, Paladins is worse. Just watch their esports for a bit and you'll see how after every update there is some new broken hero because they balance their game with a sledgehammer and happy thoughts.
>>378370164
>watch paladins esports
>see pretty much the entire roster of characters at some point all with wildly different playstyles depending on loadout
>watch overwatch esports
>the same 9 characters in rotation every match
>>378370383
You're so full of shit. You can predict half the drafts in a tournament just by watching the first one. The only way they can change it up is to purposely make one of their useless heroes broken.
Been playing this game for a while now and i have concluded that most heroes are easy as fk and imbalanced,the spray is retarded at times too.
Most of the heroes i can call annoying as fk for a reason or another BUT its still extremely fun for some reason and i will keep playing it,like all net rng team based games its plagued with cancer players but thats not something about the game,id commend it to anyone assuming they oblige with what was previously said
>>378368265
I couldn't agree more, even when Hi Rez tries to make a "masculinized woman" she still ends up being hot.

>>378371026
>just by watching the 1st one
so you watched one draft, """"predicted half"""" of the picks and now you're an expert on the meta?
>The only way they can change it up is to purposely make one of their useless heroes broken.
it's called a counterpick, something a meta expert like yourself should know everything about
>>378367431
how does paladins and overwatch compare to tf2?
T H I C C
Why do shots pass thru andros reversal,what kind of niggertier codding is it that makes lex kill me when facing me while reversal is channeling,will they fix it or will it always be a tier omega cd that works only when spaghetti lets it
>>378365338
this is the worst genre ever what the fuck do you even call it? shit cartoon rock paper scissors fps?, also fuck Hirez and their fucking bandwagon garbage games
You sound like an addict.
>>378372865
Supposedly they fixed it current patch. Still getting that shit while backing up while playing Fernando, so the extent of this fix is questionable
>>378367968
There's at least 4 or 5 known Overwatch knockoffs in China.
>>378365338
If blizzard starts suing people for copy pasting their content then they'll also get sued by everyone they've ripped off in their existence

Hot damn, they even ripped off Immortan Joe.That female McRee is fucking hot.
>>378372372
>that toe gap
>>378373494
china rips off everything, they dont care
no copyright laws can touch them so they do whatever the fuck they want
theyve been doing it for years
>>378365338
You honestly think a judge is going to understand anything they would talk about if they even went to court? As long as they aren't directly stealing assets, it's not a case.
