Blizzard just has no real reason to fix things up because they already have your money. If Overwatch was f2p you can bet they would be constantly changing things to keep the playerbase spending money on skins. Instead the game has just been left an unbalanced mess for months with zero changes and barely any new content.
>>
>>386722435
Wut. Overwatch has been adding new heroes, maps, and balancing on a pretty regular basis, idk where the fuck you've been.

Heroes - every 4-6 months (Ana, Sombra, Orisa, Doomfist)

Map - every 6-8 months (Eichenwald, all event specific maps, Horizon LunarColony, the 2 3v3 maps)

Balance Patches - every 3 weeks or so (most recently nerfed roadhog again which is fuckingnretarded but whatever)

Events- every 2 months (uprising, summer games, halloween, christmas, probanly others i dont know about cause i took a break from ow for a while)

Tl;dr you're a faggot and have no idea what you're talking about

Tribes had a slight degree of quality, this game though feels cheaper than LoL did in 09. There are some serious quality control issues you would never see in OW. At least blizzard polishes their turds and gets the gameplay loop working flawlessly, this game didn't even get that right.
>>
>>386720290
One answer. Waifus. People don't want to play games with gorilla women in them, even if it is free. See Battleborn.
>>
>>386724617
it's so unpolished because they basically remade the entire game a year ago. Maps used to be huge and there was a leveling system
>>
>>386724935
Why did they do that? Do you have footage comparing the before/after?
>>
The moba elements are stronger in paladin

Because you can carry with a lot of champions.

And many champions have secondary roles that makes them more interesting to play.

>>386722628
Paladins gets a new champ monthly so it already makes blizzard look bad

not saying more champions - better game, quite the opposite actually
>>
>>386726793
Slightly higher TTK, no "ult to win", multiple flanking routes on maps, more than just 6 characters that are viable in meta, most characters have mobility skill. More waifus, faster update rate, faster character release rate.

Customizations via card loadouts, can mix and match skins(head, body, weapon).
>>
>>386723229
As long as those in-match items that you buy can be sometimes useless (ex - aggression before it was removed) it does add a lot to the gameplay itself. Sure, most people will just buy cauterize/wrecker and don't care about anything else since it always works, but for some champions the other items are solid counters.
>>
>>386723229
the only useless one currently is probably deft hands(reload speed card) other than that most of them are fine.

The item system is very useful to counter enemy team comp.
>>
Personally, I like the vast choice of tits

Games like SF kept me hooked for the multitude of boob, you can select from. Flat, round, jugs- the choices are limitless.

Wow didn't so much for its selection of normal and saggy. In Tera they knew what they were doing with the titty size bar, as I could switch between my normal giant tits main with my flat alt.

Bottom line is, games' success isn't in how big one character's boobs are but the selection of boob size with multiple characters, which made Paladins more successful than overcrotch.

Not to mention Paladins' babby-tier SJW word censorship.

They literally censor the word "poop" now. I am not joking.

>>
>>386727192

Maybe half of them are in general use, and from that another half is played 80% of time.

>>
>>386727308
That seems like poorly implemented censorship system, rather than a conscious effort to censor everything.
>>
>>386727313
They're situational.

Deft hands 3 used by a good Mal'damba means you're stunned 24/7.
Dmg vs deployables is only used when you're up against a team of Barik and Inara.
Stealth detection is quite useless because Skye is shit
Faster hp reg out of combat used to "work" so well that it healed you to max in like two seconds after you buy one rank in it, but then it was "fixed" and is useless now
>>
When team keeps flanks at bay, she is good. But you better have 2 tanks working close together.
I'd pick her over ShitDamba or Grohk.

Paladins is a nice diversion, but it will never take the place that TF2 has for me.
>>
>>386727404
Faster hp reg out of combat is still a very powerful tool desu.
But you're better off getting the "better healing from healer" which i'm surprised that hasn't been nerfed yet. Always been using 90% damage resistance Inara and always been winning when the healer was good and i was using that perk.

Defthand Damba.. Oh, the days when you could infinite stun people until they added the cap of 3 sec before stopping.
>>
>>386727313
From the blue cards only stealth detection is useless
All yellow cards have their uses
Blue cards, probably only veteran is useless
Red card, only deft hands and bulldozer is useless.

That's a pretty good rate. Ofc I'd like for them to balance them out a bit.
>>
>>386727404
>Dmg vs deployables is only used when you're up against a team of Barik and Inara.

I have 258hrs on Steam, don't look at that every time but I've NEVER seen anyone pick that card.

From protection it's dmg reduction/blast reduction, from healing it's lifesteal or Rejuv etc.

I'm not saying they need to rework whole system, but for know there is almost zero variety, and with pubs I bounce between max 2-3 card changes.
>>
>>386727534
better healing isn't overpowered since every match has at least 3 people with cauterize. Inara is the only person that isn't fucked by cauterize
>>
>>386727308
they should just let us disable chat filter. Or can we do that already?
>>
Also these fuckfaces need to release skin for Seris.
>>
>>386727534
I haven't played in some time, Damba can no longer infintestun people? That's good to hear. I bet Fernando is still borderline useless

>>386727576
I've seen people pick that card, but it's very rare and as I said, situational. If you go against a good Barik who just sits on the point all day getting healed from his turrets, it's not that useless. At least they removed the shitter-bait, aggression.
>>
>>386720290

Fernando is currently the most overpowered character in the game since they reduced fireballs cooldown and now he can get it down to 2 second cooldown with a card and chronos.

>>386727786

Really? Sounds like I need to go back to the game then, I loved playing as Nando in the past before he was nerfed to hell.

That's /thicc/ enough for me.

But probably by fall sets like that will cost 700 crystals (and weekly reward will be reduced to 20 crystals @day7).

>>386727787
only good thing about him is his weapon, not dmg but general feel. It's total opposite of shiity slow arced Mal attack.

He was my main, stopped playing him @lvl14 when swithced to Ruckus as main frontline.

He is suprisingly strong these days, fireball as mentioned has a punch and shield is still relevant.
For me him, Ruckus and Ash are the most fun FL to play.
>>
>>386728004
Worst thing about Grohk for me is, I have the most fun playing as him. Though I have to do a lot more in terms of totem placement, dealing damage and trying to stay alive than any other support, I can still shit out solid healing and be somewhat useful for the team while getting a fuckton of objective time.

Really, I just can't have fun playing as any other champion. So I main Grohk.
>>
>>386728004
Isn't Grohk more like a dps-support mix now with Mael rather than a straight-laced one?
>>
>>386728143
maybe, but at this point I'd rather pick Grover, unless on hectic map like Brightmarsh where axe can't travel long distances in many spots.

Idea of passive healing is great afaik.
>>
>>386720290
Is this game even good?

I think part of it's success is because it overshadowed Battleborn when it was declaring it would be free to demo
>>
>>386728218
Grover has been buffed? his healing isn't exactly the best and cauterize hits him the most.
>>
I'm really torn between this, Dirty Bomb and Titanfall 2 so far. All of them scratch different itches.
>>
>>386728392
Battleborn released, overshadowed by OW
Battleborn F2P, overshadowed by Paladins

get rekt BB

And to answer your question, yes it is pretty good. I like thatit has the card loadout to customize how I play. Also like how it doesn't have a "press ult to win" mechanic.
>>
>>386728396
His Card that turns his right click into a rooting effect makes him a babby's Maldingo and his basic naturally whoops the backliners.

>>386728651
Only some champs have really op ults, like Drogoz or Torvald
>>
>>386728803
Torv is op only on couple of maps.
Drogoz can be sometimes countered, and good team can kill him before he hits somebody. But yeah Drogoz is pretty reliable and strong, instant tank removal.

To think, if this came out before Overwatch it would have grabbed up most of its rabid fanbase, minus the blatant blizzdrones (nothing of value).

It has more compelling game mechanics and hero designs than Overwatch, but in the end it's a MOBA shooter which can only go so far.

Probably at least half, but more likely most, of OW accounts are Chinese people who don't actually play the game and asian PC cafes or whatever the fuck they're called.

You're delusional.

>>386731624
Note: just because a certain amount of people bought the game doesn't mean that exact same number will be playing the game every day, and never drop it in their lives.
>>
>>386731663
No, I am reasonable. Why would you believe any differently? Having 300k active players at any given time is a massive number, especially for a year old game. In what way is that "delusional"? If Blizzard would just release those numbers, we'd all be a lot happier but until then, these are reasonable estimates.

>>386731697
You are correct. Millions bought Overwatch, but most likely a vast majority haven't played it in 10 months. That's just the way games work. The people left are the competitive ones, which are unfortunately the minority in any community.

You can be delusional and think that your overpriced game is the best but that doesn't mean anything if the fact is your queue time is just the same or even longer than a game that "can't even reach 100k" players. LMAO.

>>
>>386731838
Wait, do you think I am defending Overwatch? Of course not. The delusional numbers are the people who think the active players are in the millions. I don't think you're trolling the right guy. Overwatch has a good amount of players but nowhere near what people think it has. The queues are basically instant in quick play, also. In competitive they can make you wait a few but you have to understand that they are trying to pair you within a certain ping within a certain rating. The fact that in diamond I can find a match in less than a minute when diamond is the top 10% of players is very impressive. Even when I was in Masters it was not much longer.

I think you got the wrong guy, though. It looks like you really don't know what you're talking about and you're just being contrarian because LOL MOM LOOK IM 4CHANNING

About twice the amount of players Paladins has, and it's 10 years old as opposed to 10 months old.

>hats are shit
>gear is shit
As opposed to the ebin skins of this game?

>no competitive
You have dedicated servers for people who want to play seriously.
Not like the Paladins community, composed 70% of people who are still figuring out the WASD movement scheme can provide anything close to competitive gameplay.

Paladins is a chinese clone of TF2 developed by people who simply have no idea about videogames, they can only develop F2P trash because they don't have, they never have, and will never have proper developers among them.

>>
>>386732748

I don't know about you but I don't think TF2 has any developers working on it outside of 2-3 guys.
>>
>>386732820
Maybe because it doesn't need anymore patching.
I don't understand the logic turds like Overwatch or Paladins have that they think constantly and randomly rebalancing characters is a good idea.
Just balance them properly and be done with it.

Say what you will about cosmetics in TF2 but at least you can actually customize the way you want, usually (since it's still restricted by the cosmetic slots) unlike in Overwatch where you just have one full skin and that's it.

Considering they are contained in their own handful of servers, I don't think there's many.

Good thing TF2 introduced matchmaking too.
>>
>>386733001
It would need several fuck ups to fall as low as Paladins.
It would need to completely destroy every single map they have, for starters.
>>
>>386732925
Yeah and Paladins let you do the same as well with voice pack. You can do basic things like giving every skin cool shades to funny shit like Makoa Googly eyes on everything

Yeah, better play Paladins, a game from 2016 that has less features, worse graphics and is much clunkier.
It's a game worse in every single way, but hey, at least it's newer, right?
>>
>>386733059

Yes it is, while Paladins is near the bottom alongside Dirty Bomb and Overwatch.

less features is not always bad
graphics dont matter
clunkier is for me to decide

for me its better in every way that matters to me
you play what you want and ill play what i want
>>
>>386733196
So basically you are defending having less options, worse graphics and a game being clunkier.
Which means you are just a blind drone who wants to defend your bootleg chinese videogame.

Then again, can't defend a game like this based on objective facts alone.

i dont consider hats being more options
again, graphics dont matter
again, i dont find it clunky

why do you feel the need to justify enjoying something so much?
>>
>>386733076
They need to add way more skins, and pretty much no one in their right mind would buy a shitty recolor that changes maybe 5% of the character.
>>
>>386733284
You know, if you want to compare on gameplay alone, I'm actually going to say Paladin has this one. TF2 has 9 classes with average 2-3 builds defining weapons. Paladins have 30 champions with 3 build defining legendaries each, a 5 card loadout and 12 more items they can buy in a match. Objectively there are more gameplay desicions to make before you get into a fight in Paladins and I think almost every other competitor. Closest I can think of is Gigantic but you only upgrade skills in game.
>>
>>386733262
Funny because it's true, TF2 is superior to Paladins in every way and you can't form an argument against that, because Paladins is a cheap clone of an expensive clone of TF2.

>>386733284
>i dont consider hats being more options
No, dedicated servers and mods are.

>graphics dont matter
They don't matter because Paladins has worse graphics despite coming out a decade later.

>i dont find it clunky
Sure, those mounts sure are fluid right?
Almost as satisfying as cars in Watch Dogs.

>why do you feel the need to justify enjoying something so much?
You are now trying to get out of this because you don't have arguments.
>>
>>386733506
>there are more gameplay desicions to make before you get into a fight in Paladins
Yeah, which of these clonic characters, some of which are straight up better versions of other characters, am I going to choose?

Paladins is a legitimately bad videogame developed by bad developers who have no idea about balancing, and, like pretty much all their games, they will kill it.
Again, no reason to play this instead of TF2, unless you have some kind of addiction to terrible VAs.
>>
>>386733520
Mounts are perfectly serviceable in getting you back to the middle of the map, not sure what's your point against them.

And Overwatch began being developed as Project Titan, and just like Paladins, which began as Global Agenda 2, it ended up having nothing to do with it's previous version.

Yes, just like Overwatch fanboys claim their game is better than both, but which one has actually affected the industry?
Which game did Paladins and Overwatch failed to copy?
Which ones still lack even simple stuff like mods and dedicated server lists?
Which ones have puny fanbases compared to TF2?
Thought so.

Paladins has had no relevance in this industry, it's a game played by underage Brazilians with no money to get Overwatch, and Overwatch is played by underage americans who were born too young to experience TF2's launch.

TF2 is the opposite of seriousness and that is, imo, an important ingredient for video gaming. Victory, defeat, reward... meh TF2 doesn't give a duck bout those. There are hats, physics, taunts and serverbrowser. That's the sh!t. TF2 is fun, that's why they don't need anything else to work.

Overwatch has neat engine, nice background and marketing, the artistic direction is noice, and it plays well. I just think it's a lazy game, it could do better somehow. But it's effective enough.

Paladins' core to me is the deck system and legendary cards which can transform your way of playing each character. I love that idea of customizable gameplay. Also the customization of skins. Hirez has good potential here, but the game is a bugfest, litterally. THey should stop with the content and fix sheit.

All-in-all, all 3 games are good somehow, I think the weakest is OW, but it's well presented. TF2 is pure fun without modern deadweights, and paladins has gameplay layers to explore. That's it.
>>
>>386735373

I doubt that they'll release this year. If I have to guess it's at the end of Season 1, which is in like 170 days or so?

crystals from daily login, crystals for being on top of the leaderboard. crystals for watching large
Paladins tournaments on twitch.

I have around 3.1k crystals and I got all of it from twitch drops and daily logins. (and 3.1k is AFTER I purchased a few summer chests, bought dreadhunter Drogoz skin, bought Chrome Skye skin and bought the newest weeb skin pack).

just checked it in the wiki, you only get 35 crystals by logging in for 7 straight days and the best skins cost something like 400, I'm not falling for these jewish tricks.

Because it has more new heroes, unlike Overwatch where you get a knew one during Christmas time.

No such thing, they're "epic" or "legendary", but it doesn't mean they're the "best".

The problem with OW is that it doesn't require that much skill, since it lacks considerable depth compared to most old school shooters and/or MOBAs like DotA 2. There are maybe 3-5 heroes that don't completely rely on their abilities and can fuck the enemy team up with grace if you're good with them, but most of it just boils down to left click spam and waiting for wombo combos with your ults.

>>386736984
No, only terrible ones like Overwatch and Paladins.
>>
>>386736973
its extremely hard to understand
in an fps game of all things
you dont stand around looking at characters
they might as well be a blur or a colored pixel
and the simpler it is the easier and faster it is for you to make decisions, which is why every single fucking decent player in every arena game in history puts their graphics to low and tweaks the picmip
graphics are literally pointless and are actually a determent to your effectiveness in the game
>>
>>386737026
Because they are not threads about videogames.
Overwatch ones are waifufag circlejerks, and Paladins ones are just shitposting.
And since they are bad games with no redeemable features, nothing of value will be lost.
>>
>>386737090
>Because they are not threads about videogames.
welcome to /v/ newbuddy

also there is this offshoot board, /vg/
you might want to go take a look at it cause it has threads of games you will probably like to talk about
>>
>>386737045
If your only reason is that they're terrible, at least 70% of the threads around here should be banned, too.

Also, make a better one and stay there, improve the quality of the board, instead of bitching about it you dumb fuck.

With what do you expect those threads to be replaced with? Overwatch and Paladin are hardly the only games that are waifufagged by faggots around here, so, as I've alread said, you'd have to wipe out most of the board completely and leave threads which get archived after 50 replies, even that is being generous.

Make a quality thread and be the change you want to see, anon! You can do it!

Doesn't need it.
Paladins gets a character every week, but what's the point when it covers a function that other characters already have?
Sure, it's pretty easy releasing 10 heroes that do the same thing as Heavy.

Yeah, one of them throws magic spells, it's so fucking epic as shit, man, so awesome and cool, right, bro?

>>
>>386738534
The only skins you earn ingame in paladins are recolors and you can't sell shit. There aren't a thousand russians spamming your friends list in paladins trying to buy your earbuds. TF2 isn't popular because it's a good game anymore it's popular because bots can earn money.

Really doubt they'll keep themselves from falling into the market thing.

>There aren't a thousand russians spamming your friends list in paladins trying to buy your earbuds.
No, in Paladins is brazilians instead.

>TF2 isn't popular because it's a good game anymore
And Paladins wouldn't be popular if poorfags didn't want to play Overwatch.
See?
Nobody has legitimate reasons to play Overwatch and Paladins.
People do have reasons to play TF2, even if some of them are to earn money.

First thing you want to do is play the tutorial.

Then just fuck around in Casual for a bit.

Amazing how the only argument the pathetic fanboys of these games is that OW and Paladins are newer, despite the fact that they are garbage in every single way.
>>
>>386739757
On the topic of Smite.

Kinda-I don't know if it's dying or not. Steamcharts show that the Steam population has stagnated and stopped growing. But the majority of the population don't use the Steam Launcher.

Smite also has the advantageous position of being the only MOBA on consoles, so there's that to consider too. It's definetly not at it's peak though.

Ah, being protected is your issue? A few tips;
>try and heal allies from the maximum possible distance, so you can stay further from enemies
>if you're at 100% Uber and things are looking bad, just go ahead and Uber if you're not sure. Better a live Medic with no Uber than a dead Medic with no Uber.
>if your team is really terrible at keeping you alive, consider using the Blutsauger, a Medic Syringe Gun that gains HP from enemies you hit, or the Vaccinator, a Medigun that provides you with constant mini-Ubers of different damage type resistances.
>learn to surf explosions, so that if a Demo or Soldier ambushes you and your team doesn't protect you, you can just surf their rocket/sticky and fly away to safety

Okay, hopefully this advice helps out on extending my lifespan. Thank you!
>>
>>386740080
>>386741045
To follow up, the best self-defense loadout for a Medic with an incompetent team is probably Vaccinator, Overdose, and Vita-Saw.

Vaccinator allows you to protect yourself from one type of enemy at a time when your allies won't. Overdose allows you to get out of combat quickly with Scout-level movespeed when you have high Uber. And Vita-Saw saves some of your Uber if you die.

Am I supposed to think that looks better?
>>
>>386742005
Matchmaking goes off by level until level 30, then it switches to MMR.

Orrrr you focused more on damage rather than healing. 30k healing is a bit on the low side if you did 50k damage.
>>

>>386742450
Could be. Honestly, they were just dead most the time. Not a whole lot of chances to heal. That said, I like ying and she seems like a great solo queue character since she effectively heals and dps"'s at the same time.

What's the "meta" like at higher levels? Is it fun? Also, who's a good player or a good tournament to check out? Thanks.

It's not always about making a mark on the industry, sometimes it's just about delivering an enjoyable experience for a few players. I mean look at STALKER, we don't get 3 STALKER clones a year, but it's still a hot topic a decade after it's release.

>>386742691
There's not really an established meta. "Everything" got a major balance overwork recently, we only just got competitive queue two days agoand the last major tournament was played on a version of the game two months ago. (Dreamhack Valencia)

If you're looking to carry, Cassie with Incitement 4 is currently perceived as top-tier and "moderately" easy to use (Also cheap). Ying provides a balance between damage and healing.

If you're looking to play the game long-term, keep in mind that developing your positioning will help you get much much better at the game than developing your aim, due to gigantic hitboxes.

I find the game fun. Your mileage may vary.
>>

I see. Thanks for the info my dude. For what it's worth I was diamond in both league and overwatch and masters for a bit before I stopped and decayed back to 3000 (I main zenyatta which might explain why I like ying). The concept of positioning definitely isn't foreign to me, so that'll my focus as I move into this for sure.

I'll check into Cassie too since I think I have her anyway. Thanks again.

Well, it's free.
>>
>>386738412
Yup. They broke the balance and then just abruptly stopped supporting it entirely which caused a lot of the community to just quit. They were fucking retarded, just keep a couple devoted team members on it to fix and patch bugs and maybe throw in a few balance tweaks. Never say your product is dead to you. They came back years later and fucked it up the rest of the way. Yeah shit was unlocked and given away for free but ultimately it was dead and remains unbalanced.

So sad desu. A very solid game that came out during the height of the COD plague.

Tribes is a low profile IP. Always have been, ever since the old games.
It was always the "another quake" game.

The problem with Ascend is that there was never a good amount of people playing it. And we are talking about Hi-rez that consider 15k a success.
The peak players that it had is 3k. Too low.
>>
>>386746278
I remember how awesome the game was when it first came out. It was grindy to unlock things, but not too bad because the base game was fun and you could unlock everything you needed for one class fairly easily. And it actually encouraged you to try different classes so you could earn their gear.

Then the stupid fucking raider update happened with his incredibly overpowered gun that shot projectiles with huge hitboxes. And every update after that just added more overpowered garbage locked behind a paywall.

Microtransactions killed Tribes Ascend, pure and simple.
