Nth for Sexy Pip

So how do we fix Evie illusion spam without making her useless?

>>124374786

She is useless now, the only useful thing she can do is blast shot spam.

>Lets make all the DPS cards Epic.
Hi-rez is retarded. Especially since the thing people complained mostly about Cassie was the Reload, Stay There, Blast Shower combo. Now it's literally the only way to build her.

>>124378330
That's not true. Their forums and subreddit were constantly complaining about her damage and her lifesteal. And this is exactly what I meant when I said that bitching on 4chan instead of actually giving feedback in a place that matters to them was going to come bite you people in the ass.

>>124378608
Not him but I can't tolerate reddit. They are literally fucking brainwashed or something. They call every bug an intended feature, say shit like "hi-rez knows what they're doing!" when blatantly shitty decisions are being made, call everything overpowered and so on. The worst part is that everything is decided by their stupid fucking bandwagon vote system. Half of them don't even respond, they simply click up or downvote. God forbid a hi-rez employee or mod disagree's with you, instantly all your fucking comments are downvoted and ignored because you don't have a big shiny name. Man seriously fuck that place.

Guess I'll have to use the official forums or something, though I cant imagine it's any better. At least theres no upvotes.

I always feel like I do 0 damage in this game. What am I doing wrong? What should I focus on this piece of shit game to feel gud at it?

>>124378608
Still they didn't need to nerf all the fucking DPS cards to Epic.

Problem with Hi-rez is they give the characters all these really good DPS cards in the beginning instead of making it a gradual increase in power to legendary. So they decide that the cards should just be Epic instead of nerfing the cards and placing them correctly.

That couldn't be any more wrong. The subreddit literally can't stop complaining about every single change that they make to the game, even (specially) when it's a change THEY asked for. The subreddit isn't even owned by hi-rez. It's extremely hard to find any kind of feedback in there, just senseless compalints and "pls revert the changes".

just need to make her "Evie, The Illusionist" and call it a day

>>124391981
Or pull a Kukulkan and just replace her with a new character that is an illusionist and drop her in when they have the whole ice thing down.

that turret will goddamn solo people. so hard to kill too with your shield and the barricade CD card

>>124392448
They idea was that people would be supposed to be smart enough to notice the turret is actually dangerous now and that they should kill it. Sadly they miscalculated because the playerbase is full of people like you.

>>124392448
They put extra emphasis on Barik's turret, so now the main thing he's super good at is point control. If Barik can get established on a point, you're fucked.

>>124384364
That's how it is now. I haven't been there since the siege change thing they did a week ago or whatever. During that time people there were like 3 or 4 'appreciate hi-rez' and "its only beta" threads.

How is evie compared to pip?

>>124402531
I say pip is stronger.

>>124402531
Evie is pretty disgusting. Not only does she have two escapes, but if built correctly --
>Illusion creates an extra illusion
>Blink reduces Illusion's cooldown by 80%
>Legendary: Blink creates two illusions
-- she can swarm the field with illusions and wipe out most resistance. Illusion Army Evie is crazy strong right now, and she only loses to AoE or Grohk.

i'll start playing right now, anyone have any tips for a total newbie?

>>124402991
Shoot at the bad people.
Stand on the point.

>>124402827
Getting that legendary is, sadly, complete rng and unlucky people are fucked.

>>124403096
It's the free legendary everybody have and you will always get it at level 5.

>>124402991
Bunnyhopping is for chumps and -- as of this patch -- is actively discouraged by the system, so don't do it.
Stand on the point.
If you're attacking alongside your siege engine, make sure you focus on the door. The emphasis is on player damage to take down doors. Subsequently, if the enemy is coming at you with a siege engine, you should prioritize the players if forced.
This game is point control and base rush. This is NOT TDM.

>>124403278
What patch was guaranteed legendary added?

>>124403527
>http://forums.paladins.com/showthread.php?1581-December-3rd-2015-0-8-The-Frigid-Queen-Patch-Notes&p=7634#post7634
>The beginning cards for each Champion have been updated. Each starting set of cards will include 4 Common cards, 1 Rare card, 1 Epic card, and 1 Legendary card:

>>124403527
This patch. A lot of cards had their rarity changed, but they guaranteed every player now has a minimum baseline of cards they can use, which includes one legendary. Evie's free legendary is "Blink summons two Illusions."

You guys' thoughts on siege engine being slow and tedious as fuck now?

I liked the fast paced gameplay..

>>124404109
It's not the siege engine that's slow; it will always outrun players on foot. The problem is that if you take down a door, the siege engine is automatically destroyed, which stops any momentum you may have accrued in your push. If you almost kill a door but fail, it automatically heals up to half health, to boot. Games feel slower now because it's not as clear-cut that a team has the advantage, not when they constantly have to fall back even after taking down a door and allowing the enemy to potentially rally and recoup their losses.

>>124404482
Really hope they revert those changes.

They completely removed what the game is.

>>124404880
On the plus side, it allows a greater margin of error and potentially makes it easier to mount a comeback and win.
On the other hand, matches take longer because you now need to control a minimum of three points to complete a match.

I can't wait for other modes to make their way into the game.

>>124405058
It's not just that, the gate hp was increased, tons of damage cards were made epic, damage was lowered in general..

>>124405258
Not to mention the siege engine damage was reduced, putting emphasis on player damage to the door.

>>124405580
I feel it'd be best if they just reverted all these changes.

Paladins is made as a fastpaced team game. Why would they change its whole purpose?

>>124405815
They did say this was a "highly experimental" patch, and it's only been out for a day or two. Give it some time to settle.

>>124405815
Is Paladins really fast paced? So many things slow, stall or punish movement outside of the movement abilities.

I wish I could test to see what the game would be like if the time to kill was lowered and everyone moved at around Mount speed constantly.

>>124406924
It would become Unreal Tournament, and everyone would keep missing their shots.

>>124407108
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

>>124407286
It feels like shit when you can't get kills because it's difficult to lead shots when enemies are moving that fast. Plus, with everyone being so dodgy, it rails even further against the point that this is a game about point defense.

>>124407535
On the other hand, you cannot really miss that many shots right now, especially not in medium range duels. If there's one thing UT does reasonably right, it's dueling.

I would put in a change where the siege engine doesn't die when a gate goes down but keep the rest of the changes.

>>124412740
Maintain emphasis on player damage to the gates?

>>124415947
Yes

So is there a group for playing with each other somewhere?

>>124421738
I've yet to play with people in this.

>>124421738
depends

how strong is your meme game

>>124396606
I stand corrected on that you are a brainless idiot (on that sense maybe), but not that the community as a whole is full of them.

>>124423526
*that the community is full of retards and that barik isn't actually op.

>>124423669
The only thing Barik is good at is point defense. He has to get on the point first before he becomes an issue.

>>124423469
I can not deal with fucking pubs anymore.

>>124423758
even then (unless he has capsule) flanking his shield ruins his day because his turret isn't really tanky.

>>124423887
You are playing a game that went into closed beta less than a month ago, most people are bad at the game let's not get elitists here, because you probably are also a shitter yourself.

>>124424469
I'm sure i am a shitter, im not retarded though.

>>124427086
Paladins deals with a different breed of shitter compared to SMITE. A SMITE shitter can't follow tactics, doesn't understand the nature of the game, builds items terribly, and doesn't know when to fight and when to escape. A Paladins shitter is the same as an FPS shitter (can't aim, etc.), with the addition of not building a good hand of cards and actually playing the objectives (falls under FPS shitter).

>>124427378
I hate I have such shit aim, it is why I never play FPSs for long.

That's probably the safest nerf. They can't alter the number of illusions she gets or make them too fragile.

>>124444319
sorta, and don't really like the other designs ( not counting waifu tier champs ), but the overall feel of the weapons feels off to me, maybe I need to spend more time with the game and give other champions some more time. The bow is pretty mediocre compared to other weapons or it's just me.

>>124447970
Practice.

>>124447970
by not using the bow or just spend some time in practice to get used to the skills and cards... and probably work on your "tactics "...

>>124447970
Start with hitscan weapons like Grohk, Fernando and maybe Ruckus. After that, you can move on to characters whose projectiles have an appreciable travel time (Barik, Cassie, Evie, etc.). Use Buck if you want a shotgun and learn to fight in close quarters, or use Pip if you want a grenade launcher and want to learn how to arc your shots.

This game is so fucking awful right now. Evie is complete trash if they get the siege engine since it's programmed like a bot and won't even look at nearby players.

>>124450512
At least the enemy is shooting at the illusions and not you. That's the whole point of them, not just to bolster your damage.

>>124434565
funny thing is, still looks better than her icon

>>124450868
They normally can tell when an Evie runs past them to get to the siege engine.

I get some decent damage out of it along with supporting fernandos who already on the point, but the totem keeps dying so easily, I also don't understand how long it takes for it to disappear on its own

Honestly though he's not bad, just really lackluster compared to characters like Skye, Evie and everyone else with much more going on.

He's just very simple/basic, which isn't exactly a bad thing. Some people prefer more direct characters.

so if you have less cards, you ahve a higher chance of getting the cards you want in a match? (saying you own the cards you want)

>>124496212
I play Skye at a range, she's squish as fuck and a Buck with buffed autos can two-three hit her at point blank. Her value isn't in close combat, it's in ganking and 1v1. You shouldn't ever need to be "close" with Skye unless you're 1v1 or dropping a bomb to clear a cap point.

>>124496637
Yes. Partying shares all cards across the party though, so pair with friends who have cards you want.

You do have friends, right anon?

Note that neither of these will matter in constructed deck play.

His top priority should be ruining the squishies with his insane damage and then circling to the point.

Latest patch has greatly increased the average match length, so I'm looking forward to that.

>>124559607
>king of backline disruption standing on point

>>124559607
Securing the point isn't his primary job. His job is to dive the backline and 1v1 scrubs who aren't prepared for a shotgun to the face.

If you want to secure the point, take Fernando and Barik.

>>124566597
Buck's recovery just doesn't cut it for tanking the damage of an entire team but is perfect for being a 1vs1 monster.

Anyone who doesn't say Grohk is the strongest character in the game is lying to themselves.

I've never seen a game go from promising to complete shit in one patch. Holy fuck.

Poor Grohk

>>124575462
At this point everything honestly feels broken.

I can pick half the characters in the game and pick up a build which just feels completely whack.

Barik is probably the outright strongest right now, Skye too now that Re-entry is a green and you can get well-rested in four minutes as well as rerolling like a madman.

>>124583857
I think Grohk is super strong because he's so critical to team composition.

>>124583952
Aye, I don't play much Grokh because I lack the 0.5 legendary, and I don't find his kit very interesting, but a friend of my who's very good believes he's the strongest.

Mentioned how Grokh's scaling wasn't touched much, whereas everyone else's was.

I really hope they revert the scaling along with everything else, right now I understand because there is literally only "Endgame" there is no early game or mid game because the first few sieges might as well not exist.

>>124584069
"Early game" is getting to level 5.
"Mid game" is when you're leveling again and replacing your cards.
"Late game" is the final push(es) against the vault.

As Krett mentions in his writeup, the game feels like nothing but mid game, and it drags on way too long.

>>124584181
You can get level 5 in four minutes, and the first few will be easily dispatched even if you're raping the enemy team.

Because level to five is so quick it's very easy to just hold until you're given good card options, I always just reroll till I get what I want now,.

When you've got a good build there's no need to replace your cards, and once you hit a plateau in power you've hit late.

>>124584348
The first few sieges*

>>124584348
I don't know what went on in HiRez's thought process when they decided on this alternative scaling.

You hit level 2 within a minute and a half of the match starting, but when you hit level 5 everything slows down massively. How was this supposed to be fun? A lot of people are leveling up in the middle of teamfights because they're retards.

>>124585401
My only worry right now is that they actually keep the new retarded system.

Another thing which was lost in the muck of this new patch is character scaling. Cassie becoming death late game was fine because she had such a weak early game, with the exception of the life-steal card, but now because everything is late-game every character has to scale the same, removes a lot of depth.

>>124585401
Because once you hit level 5, gaining level is slower and doesn't really change anything, most of the time you already have the cards you want and a bit more health and damage doesn't really matter that much unless there is a huge level gap between the two team. So after level 5 you don't have any real character progression and nothing as impactful as having one more cards that your opponent,everything stay roughly the same.

>>124586129
While it doesn't change as much as if you had a card over someone else, but it does change the effective health a siege engine or gate has. If you do more damage faster, even if it's 5% or so, that adds up with every card and would help a whole lot with shortening match times.

It'd also solve the big issue of people complaining about RNG; rerolling crap cards is a blessing but you never get a chance to do it with the level 3 cards and up. My opinion on what level scaling should be like:
>Level up about once every 2 minutes until level 5
>After that level up about once every 2.5 minutes

You'll hit level 5 at the 8 minute mark and then if your game reaches an ungodly 20 minutes you should have a full deck replaced. Earlier if you got fed.

But it's actually bretty decent. If they don't fuck up until release (hirez pls), this could be OW's main competition.

>>124624067
Especially since Overwatch is now buy-to-play, Paladins jumped on that shit and positioned itself as the free-to-play alternative. On top of that, the game is technically in closed beta, but keys are flying all over the place, and there's no NDA (unlike Gigantic), so it's getting exposure all over the place.

As mentioned, the main point against her is that she's squishy and should NEVER be in a stand-up fight against anyone. If you catch her, she's screwed, but until then, enjoy her massive damage ambushes.

Grokh is pretty shitty and useless without the right cards...

>>124634332
Everyone is useless if you can't build a good hand for them.

>>124634332
They need to get rid of that card that spawns totems on enemies you damage.

Fucking a million totems all over the point.

I kinda like sticky bomber Skye build, it's fun to fly in on my sparkly speed horse and drop a bomb that also poisons them onto squishies.

>>124579747

No. Looks like a graphics card driver issue.

I'm confused. When I have a full hand, and I keep getting cards, is that just so I can swap cards or do they stack?

>>124635160
Yea, it's so you can swap them out or change it for something better/more useful later on.

>>124635160
Through levels 6-10, you can swap cards currently in your hand. If you don't want to change the card, just pick the same card again.

>>124634670
combined with the root seems ok, especially when the chainlightning procs, but if you don't have those cards, you're fucked.
Also the movement speed decrease while in combat is fucking retarded, especially for characters with high cd and shitty escape mechanisms. Good luck escaping or dodging a auto attacks.

>>124635748
It's why, even with escape skills, you can't escape from a Skye ambush by yourself. You need to call for help if Skye is on you.

>>124636365
It's not just Skye, the whole thing is pretty retarded and pointless in a game where you spam autoattacks like it's nothing.

Btw when I opened single card chest simultaneously with my friend weve got exactly same rare card out of it. Chances of that being random are extremely small so I think something is wrong with random here.

>>124652091
Chances are not totally even, common cards have much higher draw rate than rares. If you two started around the same time it means you'd have started with the same cards too, greatly increasing the chances of nabbing a duplicate. Still like a 1/50 chance, but plausible. People have been getting legendaries on those single chest rolls.

You get to design a new map for Paladins, assuming the same conceit as the other two maps (three points to capture, two bases to push with siege engines). What's the overall style and design of the map? What are the bases like, and how are the three points designed?

>>124764469
Graveyard with painful acid rivers and instant death spikes. Three points are low, medium and high from left to right.
