Is it true that the ripoff of OW is superior to OW?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sWAtkHtKqs

OW's characters are boring as fuck compared to Paladins'. The "reinhardt" ripoff in Paladins is both a frontline and a flanker.

Paladins is pretty generous with tits/ass

>>384036267
Would definitely still be playing paladins if it had the same amount of polish that overwatch does.

All of the paladins heroes feel viable compared to Overwatch's stale, tri-month metas.
Not that I play either at this point

>>384036116
Yeah.

It's not like paladins is amazing or anything but it's better than overwatch in almost every single way. The maps aren't all total shit, the characters are more mobile and have more interesting abilities, and the devs actually add new content aside form skins at a reasonable rate.

>>384040443
>All of the paladins heroes feel viable compared to Overwatch's stale, tri-month metas.
Yea, funnily enough a Paladins LAN just ended today and a Chinese team got to the finals simply by virtue of their off-meta composition.

They shit on what was considered #1 or #2 best team in the world with what were considered mediocre/weak picks. Though an NA team beat them in the finals because they were a one-trick pony.

Paladins champions are pretty dynamic and it makes for some interesting meta.

It's more of a ripoff now than it was in the closed beta, but it's mostly just garbage nowadays.

Ah yes, you didn't even TRY to look into the meta exactly and why it involved reinhardt. What part of reinhardt made it meta, more like mandatory?

His shield.
His rectangular shield made him mandatory.
In the cramped, narrow path offered by the beautiful map design of Overwatch, his shield is a must-have. Focus fire in Overwatch is strong which makes his shield Vital to his team.

He is not picked for his mere 75 damage in which he is forced in a melee range.
He is not picked for his firestrike, small hitbox and slow projectile for 100 damage.
He is certainly not picked for his Charge, long wind up time, slow, and easily avoidable.
His ult? Well, it is one of the problematic elements of him: powerful CC of 3 sec with a long range that is practically uncounterable.

You should fuck off far away back to r/overwatch cause you don't understand at all what you're talking about, you just saw a tierlist and said "welp, reinhardt is OP"

They already have. You get cards out of RNG chest and the cards are the games most unique mechanic. They're the things you use to buff your character and change up how they play.

>>384048734
Pretty much this. Cards are your biggest source of power and card crafting is awful in this game

>>384049531
It's really only the legendary cards that piss me off. 10k takes way too long to craft for something you shouldn't have to craft in the first place.

>>384049705
Yeah but then you get into stuff like builds that take two or more cards that cost 5k to craft or you're opening chests and getting cards for heroes you will never fucking play

Extreme grindan bullshit. First you gotta buy a character (Devs increased the price of all of them in the last patch ;)), then you need to buy rng boxes to get cards for the new character that you just bought but oh wait you just spent your gold on that character so you can't afford any rng boxes. More grindan for gold, now you can finally afford 1(one) rng box, you open it gives you 3 items (4 if you buy our booster!) these items will most likely be common cards and you'll be lucky if they're for the character you bought because there's no lock out or anything to stop you from getting cards for a character you don't own. So now in your average scenario you have 3 cards that you don't need or want right now and still none for the character you're interested in.

Well guess what you can break those cards down! Of course you don't get what they're worth if you were trying to make them yourself so if there's even a slight chance that you might play that character in the future you're taking a loss by breaking it down. But hey let's say just for the scenario that you know you'll never play those character or use those cards so you break them down, congratulations you now have 750 of the card crafting currency. Now you only need to do that 14 more times to get enough crafting currency to unlock a legendary card of your choice and of course these are the strongest cards in the game, they're called legendary after all, these cards pretty much make or break a character in most situations you'll have to buy a new one for every character you buy and on some characters you'll probably want to have 2 of them.

>You don't have access to every character by default

These are the big things that prevent me from truly enjoying Paladins, because everyone I play with wants to instantly lock in as Kinessa and Maeve and proceed to do fucking nothing. At least in Overwatch you can give people a chance and then switch to pick up the slack or hope that they'll switch, in Paladins it's literally a coin flip if you're going to win or lose based entirely on what bullshit your teammates pick/how bad they are at playing their characters.

>>384036116

Gameplay is just a huge fucking mess with no actual coordination or strategy behind it other than picking a high damage character hint : all of them and then way into your match hoping the other team just gets exhausted/bored and starts playing worse

Characters are also a mess, with no backstory or any distinguishable personality to any of the characters the only thing to grab your attention or interest to them are the bright colors/big boobies on their designs which just reinforces the fact that this game is made for children that can't get mommy's credit card

People who legitimately defend this game over Overwatch are just upset about Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, whatever the fuck, or just generally don't know any better.

>>384065236
They're lying to you. Let's talk about any of the
character that came on in the past 5 months, they all cost 12,500 gold each and you only get around 200 gold per match.

>>384065661
>>384066245

>>384065236
don't listen to this fag >>384066245
you earn the money in a day or two for a character you want, tho if you don't want to wait 2 more days for your character just watch their abilities on youtube and see who'd you rather pplay a day earlier.

>>384066245
/vg/ goer here.
Last patch increased the gold cost of champions and cosmetics, by a pretty nasty amount at that.
On a bad match, losing and whatnot, you can get a couple hundred if you're lucky. On a good match, you can make maybe close to a thousand (?) or more, I'm not sure. I'm not very good myself, good matches for me usually grant around 500.
But there are also quests that grant good amounts of gold, like play x games as support or frontline, etc; win or just play x amount of matches, stuff like that.
Gold costs aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be, it's essence (what you use to buy cards) what most have been bitching about. That also has been semi addressed as some quests also grant essence, but frankly it's almost too little still.

It's up to you I guess.

You never get 1000 gold from a single match, and the only time you even get near 500 is when you use up your first win of the day bonus. Here's a screenshot I pulled from some random streamerfag, that victory would only be worth 169 gold if he didn't have the first win of the day bonus active so if anything saying 200 gold per match was being generous. I really don't understand why you guys are lying to this guy.

>flanker's mobility
bounce house nerfed last patch
>tankiest health with self-heal
they lowered his health 4 patches ago and everyone buys catuerize so so the self-heal is worthless
>extremely potent damage
his leap no longer does damage and his shotgun is worse than a frontliners
lol

WHAT his leap no longer does damage? THE FUCK? who had that dumb motherfucking idea?
The one thing that made buck "good" was his engaging power: he could immediately get the edge on you if you weren't careful with the help of his net and landing, and his self heal to deal a last blow before fucking out of here. Fuck.

i'm not playing since seris so yeah..

they removed the damage from his base leap and made it so people are forced to use the bounce house legendary for it to do any damage, of course bounce house doesn't give him leap 2 charges anymore so his mobility is shit and his damage with any other legendary is really shit since you don't have any leap damage
