Discrepancy between best and worst support : 7.7%

Damage -
Vicktor - 75.8%
BombKing - 75%
Drogos - 74%
Kinnessa - 69.6%
Cassie - 68.4%

>>157129992
A what now?

>>157130039
Cassie has a lower win rate probably because people are playing with her way more often, which brings down a winrate more often than not.

>hi-rez sponsored twitch stream with 8k viewers

Of course they are going to sponsor an ex LoL pro. He might actually bring in some new players.

They might want to try sponsoring someone who can actually play the game.

might as well just sponsor LIRIK then. He seems to like the game when he played it a few days ago and he can certainly play better than voyboy.

>>157130975
There's always maintenance on Tuesdays.

>>157130975
Nah senpai I want to have everything up front. I don't even think of Paladins as s f2p game but the 13 bucks was very worth it.

>>157130997
I don't know much about Lirik, but I remember seeing huge viewer numbers on his streams most of the time. He sure loves cats.
He'd probably play Paladins for the Hack-Rez money.

>paying for a free to play game

>>157131165
Never played tribes, why?

>>157131164
I don't think he was sponsored when he was playing it though. Unless he didn't state that he was sponsored(and that's illegal).

>>157130997
LIRIK would probably cost a more than voyboy. The more viewers you get, the more you can charge for sponsored content. It's how pewdiememe is worth like 50mill now.

Plus there's no guarantee LIRIK wasn't sponsored, not all of them will admit they are playing a sponsored game. I don't know if LIRIK does since i've only seen his stream like once.

>>157131225

>>157131210

Why is this happening so much? I can still win because even enemy team is in the same boat.

>>157131825
Card system adds customization

No hero switching but instead we get items to counter(more MOBA-like).

Ults are not "I win" buttons.

Mix and match skin parts(even though the number of skins are a bit small right now).

Free

>>157131883

>Ults are not "I win" buttons.

Except for Skys and Drakorz who can instantkill 2-5 players.

>>157131825
Higher TTK(both due to ratio between health and damage and due to literally everyone having a movement button), more open maps, out of combat regen instead of healthpacks. Much more generous hitboxes. The card system entirely, using burn cards and hand selection to deal with enemy comp instead of changing characters. Lower ult impact.

>>157131936
>Much more generous hitboxes.
Interesting way of saying 'broken hitboxes'.

>Have to play overwatch for the first time in a month

>>157131930
Skye's ult is getting a nerf, and Drogoz can only kill 1.

>>157131985
as I see it, there's a scale between 'hit anyone you want to' and 'enemies have stg mc hitboxes'. closer to the former makes for a much lower barrier of entry, closer to the latter makes for a much more mechanically skillful game. in paladins, I think the average person can hit the person they're aiming at. that's not true in games without 'broken hitboxes'.

>>157132118
this

People seem to think that having a larger hitbox means it's broken. Having some leeway makes it easier for people to jump in and play.

Does that mean aiming skill doesn't matter? not really, pros can still easily beat noobs any day.

whoops I didn't see the new thread
>>157127009
to the guy who wanted to see a drogoz match, here's something. it's not the best example, but I showcase some key elements like using fire spit and the thing where you hold space as you near the ground and slide along.

If you hit a clean shot center mass, or even the back of his head from above, he takes damage with explosive weapons with his shield up. You just gotta get the hitbox to block the splash from hitting the shield.

then I'd have to be the one forming the party again because those niggas be passive as fuck

and this general has people with varying levels skill and teamwork is almost as absent as it is with randoms because even typing out some ideas like "flank them from right side this time" as the round starts seems too much for almost all players and there is no team composition discussion happening ever

there's no chance to improve as a team either because there's not enough nolifing happening

>“Time Bomb is an ability intended to create area control and spread out groups, but it was too effectively punishing players who were correctly reacting to the bomb and spreading out. The goal of these changes is to make sure Time Bomb is still a powerful tool for splitting up groups, but it’s not as good at picking up kills on players who are moving away from it.”
They're not wrong. Time Bomb punished you too hard if you reacted CORRECTLY. Everyone complained about this: they would hear the time bomb and immediately run for the hills like they're supposed to, but they'd still get gibbed by the explosion. That shit's unfair. Time Bomb still achieves its purpose of massive area control and clearing a position.
>If you stand on the bomb, you get pasted.
>If you run away far enough, you take reduced damage for reacting correctly.

In all three cases, Time Bomb has still achieved its purpose: clearing the point.

Do you think they will do a complete wipe after this game leaves the beta, so everyone starts at 0? also how long do you think will it stay in the beta? Will it be still relevant at this point?

There will be no resets.

>>157146490
no what kind of sense would that make

>>157146267
Blink needs LoS, which greatly limits it in practice compared to soar and especially thrust. Most maps I'd rate Drogoz as more mobile than Evie without wormhole, in which case Evie is more evasive but still won't be able to travel as far or precisely... Or rain death from above.

>>157146490
> beta

Absolutely no chance

>>157146539
that's not working as intended?

>>157146490
I don't think so. For a game with this much publicity, a pre-launch wipe would devastate a lot of people. Hi-Rez has only done wipes if they change core functionality within the game. Considering the card system has been changed dramatically since alpha several times, those warranted a minor wipe.

Bunnyhop more then, or go play battleborn. Androxus is already almost a kinessa tier pick. Buck is the only flanker worth caring about right now.

>>157147781

U wat?

Is solo queuing more tolerable in ranked?
I'm sick of getting stuck with 2 flankers and a Kinessa every game. Nobody plays for objective and there's always at least 1 guy that buys aggression.

The tank/healer life is hard. A shame too since I play a beastly Ying.

>>157148571
>>157148901
You play with bots until lvl5, in case you didn't know.
Match length can vary with quick stops and long even matches. Wait until you get those 25 minute marathon matches.

>>157148959
Your jump height improves when you attempt to clear an obstacle, such as a block or a payload. You can tell when someone else is doing it because they T-pose while doing it.

>>157148959
near walls you jump a bit higher. otherwise it is useless, because your feet can still be shot.
