See >>387685237

Also the character are on par or if not BETTER than Overwatch.

>>387685186
>play style variety for each hero due to the card loadouts.
>less focus on ult management and ult stacking to win games.
>better map design
>no attack/defend
>no res

>>387685186
The characters are more fun and better designed (best example is how they treat fernando shield as a active ability with downtime instead of reinhardt switch on/off with no drawback)
The game gets constant updates and new tools to play with or in.
You could argue that quantity<quality but that would imply the new overwatch characters/maps are that good when they really aren't.

Still a pretty boring game but i see no reason to waste money on overwatch like i did when there's a free far better option out there if you like that kind of fps.

character locked upon starting a match, so characters aren't designed with hard counters in mind

faster updates

The McCree of Paladins isn't dogshit

>>387685186
Oh fuck off. I am not afraid to admit that I am a Paladins shill and have never played Overwatch before but these threads are always the same.

>Thread hits 500 replies and dies

Seriously just go back to your generals if you just want to have the same catfight everytime.

Is Paladins actualy good unironically? I wanted to play the beta cause it looked interesting but never got around to it and then Overwatch came out and I played it for a few months and found so many things about it bullshit so I stopped my PS Plus.

>>387689413
Yes, unironically. Better than OW in its current state by miles.

Better gunplay, better balance, better map design and takes more skill than spamming shitty ultimates.

>>387689413
>console
Neither is better or worse when you are on a console.
But palacucks is unironically as good or better depending on your taste and what you are looking for.
like 1/4th of the playerbase is overwatch players

>>387689413
It's a fun game, but it's biggest flaw is that it's really grindy.

>>387689413
It's shockingly not terrible for a game that is very transparant about being a f2p Overwatch clone. The worst thing I can really say about it is the map visuals are pretty boring and generic and it's pretty buggy still. For the most part the bugs are confined to the menus but the healer that's automatically unlocked for everyone will also often fail to heal for no apparent reason.

Does paladins have a USA skin for one of their characters?
I will switch if they do. After, doomfist being voiced by generic african #1234234 and not Terry Crews, I am just about done with this nigger game. McRee is the only one that keeps me playing.

>>387692104
Yes and no. They have freedom weapon skins for several of them, though that event is over and you probably would have to wait for a random point in the future where they decide to let you buy that chest again.

>>387692104
Paladins doesn't really have a McRee, they have two that are a bit similar. One is the maximum edgelord and the other is a nigger, ironically. But the nigger has a cool as fuck voice and Judge Dredd-esque theme.

>>387692398
I like McRee for his USA skin and his mannerisms. As long as they can sport the stars and stripes and act like civil human beings, they're alright with me.

>>387692602
Not really next year. It is usually about 3 months apart, sometimes 4.

>>387692602
Well in that case you just missed the USA themed 4th of July event with "freedom magnums" for Lex (the justicar guy) see what this guy mentioned >>387692317

They will 100% bring it back sometime in the future though, they always do. Probably with more "freedom" variations for other weapons too

>>387692602
Well they brought back the Winter event chest when the new season of Game of Thrones premiered yeah, the devs are maximum memelords: "winter is coming.. in july!" was the promo line so it's not unthinkable that they'd bring back the USA chest for the next big USA holiday

>>387692602
They brought back christmas items during summer. You won't have to wait an entire year I think.

Sweet thanks. I'll boot it up on steam and give it a go. Which champs/heroes/characters are the most fun or should I keep an eye out for?

>>387693018
How the game is set up it encourages to play every champion for a bit to capitalize on the rewards. Since it's F2P about 2/3 of the roster would be locked by default. Balancing-wise everyone is viable on low level so you should be fine with trying all of them out and see what you like.

>>387693018
Well if you like McRee, then Lex and Androxus. but go over to /vg/ and find /palg/, those guys can help you more. Most of them are fucking retarded and only post waifus, so you might have to wait for an intelligent answer.

Pretty sad how Paladins does a whole lot of shit better than OW despite being F2P

Unfortunately they fucked up the ranked requirements. Now you only need to be level 15 and own 12 heroes. Stupid decision in my opinion.

Sold, the fact that blizzard thought that switching and switching and switching with no cd was a good idea is absurd.

>>387695923
Paladins' map has multiple flanking routes. If you only see it as a single long corridor then I can see why you would prefer OW's map over this.

I know you can detonate it, but that doesn't do much to help when you're 2 feet away from someone who needs healing and you throw the bomb at your feet and it does absolutely nothing to the person who needed to be healed.

>>387695823

Does the card system actually become a problem because I'm 23 hours in and I still feel like I get more than enough essence to buy cards with impunity.

>>387697735

>>387697606
>>387687892
Fucking predicted. Time to sit back and see these IPs fight over which game is better now. These threads every single time. It never changes.

>>387697562
No game will ever be completely balanced, TF2's still doing incremental patches actively. When you're cranking out champions monthly, your new champion will have to weigh against every existing champion (since you can't swap outta him) and there's over 30 of them now in Paladins. The balance changes are all small ones either way so there's no danger of it swinging crazily in either direction.

It's way better than having one must pick hero for 3 months then gutted into uselessness with another taking it's place.

Paladins is hilariously bad

>>387697735
It's a problem in ranked. A big one. It really limits how many characters you can legit play competitive without using money.

Over watch has been on sale for 15 bucks. Biggest issue with it is the stale meta.

>>387697753
i am not, you said they will drop Paladins like they do with every game and i give you a example where they didn't, what is so hard to understand?

>>387698013
you don't even spend real money for essence or gold to get essence

>>387698013
What, no it isn't. If you're going to tryhard your way to ranked, then all the best options are champions with their default cards. There's only a handful of champions that have dogshit default cards that just doesn't work in ranked but the variety of champions to avoid that are bought with gold, not essence.

>tfw the IP count has not changed much at all
Stay true HiRez shills and Blizzdrones.

>>387685186
Paladins is great but easy as fuck tho or the playerbase is just ass. after completing my provisional matches I got ranked diamond and now Im playing with ppl that still suck, and I have barely 24hours in.

But its way more fun and diverse than overwatch. It feels more balanced. I also like the heroes much more, much more fun indeed. there is not a single character Id describe as boring. Itemization is limited but sufficient.

And its not grindy at all. I sit on 60k gold now and got every hero I wanna play.

>>387697792

>>387698074

Smite is still profitable, it's gained a decently sized autismo fanbase that won't abandon it or the MOBA genre any time soon.
Plenty of other F2P games with are maintaining development with far less than 10k steam players.
Give it time; Paladins is still barely out of the blocks, shit they're still technically "Open Beta"

>>387699027

It feels more militaristic than Overwatch and Paladins. Most weapons have aim down sights and summoned weapons have limited ammo. Cooldowns for cards and abilities are also longer so you have to make sure you read a situation before doing anything or risk wasting resources.
