is there literally any reason to use ice block?
any idiot with half a brain will know to just wait it out from a distance and shoot once it's over, since you can't immediately blink or soar away
and without the appropriate cards, the slow isn't strong enough to stop them from fucking off and not taking extra damage

>>158154456
>>158154459
using it 1v1 the enemy will just fuck you up during the about half a second where you can't use movement abilities, especially if they're a flank

yes it can heal you, but what does that do for you with a max hp of 1800, where someone could easily bring you back down to wherever you were, and then some
like i said before, you can cancel it, but there's still a short period of time where you can't use mov abilities, and cutting it short keeps enemies from being marked and slowed

>is there literally any reason to use ice block?

Blink/fly to your team and block you can use it to help in a team fight and to contest as a swan song especially with ult.
>>
>>158154221
I shit on enemy Edges on a regular basis when using Buck, they're the smallest annoyance of those three because you can usually 3-4 shot them or 2 shot if you get up real close and land pellets in the head. Piggie with her retarded mobility and no damage drop off high damage logs and furshits with right cards are a fucking pain in the ass though.
>>
>>158155143
you can use ice block to blink in and block drogoz ult and save the frontliner but 99.5% of Evies don't do that and it's not easy to be in the right spot at the right time, same goes for blocking Ruckus ult for a moment at least in one direction

it can also be used to contest an objective just for a little longer
>>
>>158155143
see >>158154770

usually what i'll do is block to contest/hold the point or push/stop the payload so i don't take any pointless damage, but i can't see many other uses for it
as for using it with the ulti, it's usually not worth using if there aren't more than 2 people on the point, at which point you'd just get slaughtered after breaking the block

>>158155527
When in regular evie gameplay where you would block a GOOD drogoz ult? Ideally you guys would be in completely areas.

>>158155748
At a swan song final push near the objective in OT where the while other team is stacked coming from spawn not worth it? I won so many games like this lots of assists with my team picking off the people mistakenly ulting the objective and I and running into the ult trying to contest its great.

Maybe its just for games at my skill level. But I never use ice block for 1v1 save for characters that have nades or thrive on splash damage.

I'd use the shit out of it if I had the set.

Your job as Evie is to close the gap quickly, smash people in close range with your staff shots, and immediately get out at the first inkling of trouble. Since she lost her ice block blink, Wormhole is damn near mandatory on her.

Are you competent players? I'm sick and tired of Kinnesas, aggression, no one going on the objective and healers that don't fucking bother to heal. I want to play with people with enough autism to know what they're doing without it having to be nothing but luck.

You are supposed to harass and stay on the move. Only get closer if you can kill the person in on or two hits or they will kill you thanks to your low health and slow projectile. If people start attacking you, move. If they are going after you, they aren't going for the objective or the rest of your team.
When you have your ult, blink in and cast it followed by an ice block to slow them even more for max damage, then fly away.

more worthless than this?

VS any other tank especially the gremlin I get mauled I have no way to peel of the healers like makoa I don't see how switching up my game would work. I tried to flank the totem faggot but I got shredded. I tried to watch for skye but she always had the jump. I have the talent to heal from shield and it wasn't enough. For having 5k HP and another 1k shield I seem to drop faster than if I were to play DPS.

When most of my nando games are this bad it makes getting mastery a fucking pain.

Yes, Basic Barik is terrible. Getting him serviceable requires like 3600 gold on top of his normal purchase price.

And those stats aren't too bad for Fernando considering how the rest of your team did..

>>158168319
you go Incinerate IV on EVERY build, fireball is still too good, even with the nerfs, and it lets you apply pressure.

If you want to top damage, eliminations, shielding, and objective time, you go a mix of Hot Pursuit and Running Start as well but it's a meme build carried by the fact that Fernando is fucking busted.
>>
>>158171262
Nando is still the best frontliner available but Barik can be extremely durable as well but requires the right cards. If you can't survive as nando or dorf then you certainly won't survive as Ruckus who is the least tanky of all frontliners. Ruckus just doesn't have the mobility and is easy to pick off especially if he is on his own for a few seconds.

Every time I play nando I am targeted hard and usually from multiple directions but when I play against nandos I have retarded teammates that at best shoot at his shield from a distance or I am the only one targeting him no matter what role I play.

Ruckus ability to tear through shields with Wrecker more or less denies the enemy Nandos and Bariks usefulness.

Against teams where there's a minority of flankers/damage Ruckus is king.

Barik's real source of strength is his bear and turrets, the shield is just nice to have but not the number one thing in his kit since it is static. Destroy the turrets and you might as well have a shaved dwarf in play.

Grohk is fun, Grover is not. With the card Healing Rain IV Grohk becomes a tank's best friend but Grover's heal barely does anything. Literally only played for his mass healing ult which Ying does better anyway cause you don't have to be near Ying to get the healing from her ult.

Grover is fun as fuck.

I like to play treat him like shepherd of a flock. Catapult yourself around the map, bodyblock flankers, dive bomb low enemies or teammates about to die.

His healing could use a little bump, maybe his aoe radius could be larger, but if you play him like a Tarzan his playstyle opens up.
>>
>>158173076
It's not that he's bad. But he's a bloody chore to play.
>>
I wish Kinessa had unlimited mines
>>
>>158173113
All he needs is that his burst healing needs to get bumped up to the power of the other healers and he'll be plenty viable. The burst healing is just too weak right now.
>>
>>158172815
Yeah you clearly don't play Barik much if you think Barik is about that. Shield is nice to have but it doesn't require any cards and you just put it down asap semi-conveniently when it is not on cooldown and that's it. It's just there to protect and extend turret uptime mainly but not it's not the bread and butter part of playing Barik.

groot is tankier and has more mobility. If you raise his heal radius you won't have to stand too close. You are spiderman with your vine and your ult heals more than anything else in the game. You throw axes without ever having to reload. Can get pretty boring I guess.

grohk's can heal a lot of health, especially with cards The bad thing is that the heal is over time, only lasts a few seconds, comes from a deployable with almost no health and has a long cooldown. His weapon and others kills are great though.

Compensator IV is useless. The recoil on Viktor's rifle is so fucking minimal that it accomplishes nothing. Compensator I, II, or III are more than enough.

Firing Stance IV is alright, since it allows for slightly better sighted mobility, though I am not a fan. You tend to not be shooting while sighted for long enough to make it worthwhile.

Reflexes is useless at all levels. You bring the sights up so fast that it changes nothing.

Scramble is okay.

Second wind is okay.

My winrate as Viktor is around 70% over 45 matches, and this is what I use. Still, good job.

maybe it is useless, but for a player who sucks with viktor, it seems to be working for me as a beginner's loadout. I'll slowly wean myself off of compensator and reflexes once I git gud, but for right now I feel like it's helping me get used to Viktor's playstyle.

>>158185246
Define cute.
>>
>>158185476
>Ying is definition of cute
>>
>>158185461

You're probably right.

I did a test in the shooting range just then, and found that there's negligible difference between Compensator 2 and 3, with 4 being literally no recoil of course. The difference between Firing Stance 2 and 4 is also similarly negligible.

If I were you, I'd eventually replace Reflexes with XL Mag or Speed Load. XL Mag effectively puts an extra 800+ damage into your magazine before you have to reload, which can make all the difference in the world when you are dueling against an enemy damage dealer. Also, having both Scramble AND Second Wind is kind of planning for failure.

Nah, I don't feel like feminine features are defined exclusively by tits and ass. Just look at Kinessa, she's a fairly masculine woman, but I'd still put her at 70% feminine. There's no doubt in my mind she's a cute girl, she flirts with that line perfectly.

Is there anything specific to this game I should look out for as a new player? So far it's been mostly
>Get the objective
>STAY ON THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE
>Try not to die
I've only been trying out the characters on rotation, liking Fernando, Cassie and Ying so far. Should I just try to unlock the whole roster or focus on things I'd actually play?

Also, is there a chat command where I can tell people to get on the objective? Watching that brown sniper girl, Cassies and the occassional Victor sit on their ass 30 metres away from the point gets kinda old.

There's no rotation, the champs you have are the ones you have until you unlock more.
Also there is VGS commands to tell people to go on the point.

And yeah, the game is objective based. It isn't team deathmatch like how some people think it is.

You are forced to fight bots until level 5 and will stop getting xp from bot fights at around level 13.
You get enough cash through playing that you might as well unlock the entire cast. You might even discover that you like some of them. Also you will need to get to level 4 with at least 12 of them to unlock competitive if that's something you would be interested in.
Pressing VGS will make your character yell "attack the objective". Spamming that might work. Press enter for normal text based chat for a more personalized touch to your messages.

I don't know how their match making isn't working well, they have plenty of experience from smite and they have a large playerbase.

How the fuck are they messing this up so badly? 30-50k people online at all times and the range of players is people who don't know how to buy items to someone int he top 50.

I play NA and in a match yesterday I had a full premade on the other side yesterday and our healer had level 3 illuminate, there was no skye anywhere in the game.

You can't get better if you keep playing againest bots, you need to stick your chin out and learn againest other players. Just pick a support or frontline until you are confident enough to 1v1 others.

>>158197752
just mute them
>>
>>158197752
Get better loadouts if you haven't already. You can just import something from the leaderboards to start with and then edit it to your playstyle as you learn the character.

If you're that clueless on the basics, watch the video guides for champions on the paladins website and read the guides on paladinsworld.
>>
>>158197752
What were you playing as?
Are you willing to show us the scorecards?
Playing against bots isn't going to make you good. To get good you are going to need some challenge. Power through those losses and focus on getting better at the game or if all else fails just play as barik and let the turrets do all the work for you.

>>158197752

How can you be bad at a game like this? If you have played shooters before in your life, this whole game should come as a fucking natural extension of that experience. Just shoot the fucking guys.

Maybe they thought they were facing themselves? Cauterize is also useful against a team with self-healers like Buck and Pip.

If you wanna get good at aiming, then try playing Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament against bots for a while, steadily increasing the difficulty of the bots as you get better and better. There's a reason that arena shooters are still held up as the peak of their genre and skill within that genre.

Most people who are good at aiming have 100s and sometimes 1000s of hours in previous FPS games. Muscle memory is all it really comes down to. Lower your sens and practice. The hitboxes in this game are insanely generous so you don't have to be great at aiming to do well.

Cassie would be fine if hitboxes were fixed and she was forced to actually aim. I say this as someone who plays Cassie often.

This game boils down to this:

>You are bullying players who are far lower in terms of skill level than you for easy wins. No challenge, no real payoff at all.

or

>You are being smashed by players of higher skill level, you have no chance against them.

This happens in rotations to maintain a 50% winrate if you solo queue.

What's the point of this game exactly? I'm better than I was when I started but the game is still as stated above.

Add to this system, the wildcard of premade groups and it's a clusterfuck (the only way to get away from the 50% thing).

>things that aren't true
I've had plenty of close games.

As flawed as it is, an ELO system does exist so why would you expect matches to get easier over time? The better you get, the better players you face, on average.

But he plays nothing like reaper, he's more like mccree mixed with himself. I mean let's be real here, his reflect is different than both of them, and his dash makes his fighting unique, and plays nothing like either McCree's roll or Reaper's Teleport. Plus, his ult is nothing like either of them (aside from DEALING DAMAGE but hey, what the hell, right?)

except he literally looks exacly like reaper except remove the hood and add some horns

Does Evie have "reverse damage falloff" like Grover?
>>
>>158205491
No, her shots do the same damage no matter how far away she is. It's why people play her with Wormhole, as in blink in, get shots off close, blink back to starting location.
>>
>>158205491
No. She always deals the same amount of damage, which is why some shitters only snipe with her, instead of actually flanking. If you snipe, you'll probably only end up hitting with the AoE so it won't do as much damage as it should.
>>
>>158205491

No. Her shots do not gain more damage based on how far they travel, but she does gain extra damage after blinking.

Viktor's grenades and macro gameplay requirement makes him take more skill than half the cast in the game.

I like to think I'm not complete shit at aiming, but I still want to miss less, how do I get better at it? When it comes to lowering sensitivity, is that making it so I barely move an inch left/right when I move my mouse a lot or making it so I do constant 360s by just nudging my mouse? Is mouse acceleration something I need to worry about in this game and if so how do I deal with it?

>>
>>158211358
Just turn accel off in the controls settings.

You want sensitivity that allows you to use arm movements for big sweeps and wrist movements for smaller and precise adjustments.

Aiming is all about muscle memory so the only way to get better is to find a sensitivity, stick with it, and just practice.
>>
>>158211486
that's just how it looks during killcams. after i unlocked grohk i found that the beam does not bend and you actually have to aim your reticle over the enemy. same thing happens with ying's beam during kill cams.

Paladins is an original universe, so there has to be some lore to crop up at some point. It's not like SMITE, which is "a mishmash of real world gods fight in nondescript battles."

Me and the Fernando were the only ones with a clue. I could have tried to contest the point more but I had to deal with the buck and even then he beat bombking 1v1 easy unless I can trick him with F.

I was using basic king whats a good loadout?

LMAO WHAT A FUCKING SHITTER THAT MAN

WHY SHOULD I STAND UP FOR SHITTERS
>>
>>158217635

I feel like Wrecker is better for Damagers rather than flankers. They typically have better sustained DPS than Flankers anyway, doing better in drawn out fights. Obviously I'll attack an Androxus or Skye if they get to close to me as Cassie, but I always prioritize keeping my frontline secure and dealing with what threatens him.

I always seem to get Nimble and Wrecker no matter what.
>>
>>158218104
>flanker
>buying wrecker

you just don't do this
>>
>>158218542
You uh, misread. Cassie aint no flanker. I mean she can flank sure, but its easier to do so when you're using a hero that ignores elevation and shit.

Cassie just, well, rolls all over the place. Its high noon somewhere in the world.
>>
>>158218104
wrecker can be pretty useless sometimes desu
if its against a single tank and they happen to have 2 supports/1 support+pip/buck you should probably take cauterize
most shield can just be countered by walking around/into them
only situation where you should take wrecker is when they have 2 frontliners where none of them is ruckus because ruckus' shield is p shitty
>>
>>158218774
yeah, it will depend on their cards too. If they have max health + duration shields I usually get it
>>
How does Cassie's lore and character get overshadowed by another character that we know absolutely nothing about?

How is Hi-Rez so shitty about this? Did they suddenly realize that they can't just steal already existing lore and haven't fully accepted it yet?

Cassie is just the Drogoz of the ground. Her combo kills insanely fast and she has great mobility.

>>158218104
>>158218774

I'd disagree in Drogoz' case.
He can get around shields easily to inflict damage (either via firespit or Thrust), and is honestly far better spending his time blowing away weaker enemies and leaving the frontliners without backup. A Drogoz spending his time shooting rockets at shields is wasting his time, except for in cases where it's a lone Nando trying to hold the point or some shit.

Credits spent on Wrecker are much better spent on Morale Boost+your blue, especially Morale Boost if they have multiple frontliners since they'll be stacking the point and you can build ult really quickly. If they're at all competent, they'll withstand the Wrecker damage, and if they're shit, you're probably able to kill them without it.

Most medium length games I don't even bother with a red item because he hits so hard. I might get Cauterize for Buck/Pip/Grover or one rank of Bulldozer if they have a Barik+Ying.

I was bored, and heard a few positive things about this game, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Small download, that's nice.

I press the launch button, usual Steam/DirectX installer. Fine. Hi-Rez Authentication and Update Service. Oh yeah, one of the reason why I hate these cunts, they are such special fucking snowflakes that they think they need a dedicated service for their shit.
Next up: License Agreement for some random third party software that calls itself AMD CPU Driver. What the ever-loving fuck. I press Reject because I'm already ready to call it fucking quits.
Still goes through. Now the Paladins Launcher pops up. My options: Log In with a Hi-Rez Account (which I do have but can't remember), or Log In with my Google Account. No option to login with Steam. Seriously, how retarded are these mongs? This is worse than a disgusting mobile game.
I feel filthy just having had these files on my pc. Uninstalled, service removed, rebooted.

And now I remember why I fucking hate Hi-Rez.

I point it an an enemy, it makes a noise, but nothing happens
I point it at a teammate, it makes a different name, but then a green beam comes out and starts to heal my teammate! Amazing, I have now discovered what his right click does.
But that much is beyond the average player, apparently.

>>158239379

>>
>>158240174
you gain on a win and you lose on a loss. The amount gained and lost is calculated based on the average elo of your team and the opponents. So if you face a team with a bunch of higher elo player, the game places lower odds on you winning so you lose less elo if you lose, and gain more if you win.

I'm not sure if or how personal performance factors.

1900 is fine but you need a lot of matches to know your true elo since theoretically you could get lucky or unlucky at the start and end up in a higher or lower elo than you belong in.

I dunno. Maybe it was bad composition. Maybe they had a gust of confidence. Maybe people on your team were just playing like shit. Maybe you were playing against actually good players but they haven't had time to climb or they keep picking chars they're shit at and staying at a lower Elo (inversely I raised the fuck out of mine by learning Drogoz). Who fucking knows. There's lots of variables.

I'm sure it's not totally accurate but every pubstomper I've come across is 1800 minimum so its a somewhat steady metric.

My 1900 rating is with 50 or so matches, so honestly that's not showing the true rating. Im guessing you need maybe 100 matches to show your true rating.

I thought elo was based on your accuracy / damage etc. If it's just based on your win / lose ratio and their rating it's a meaningless number cause as you face better players you'll get a shitier rating.

As your accout rises in level you face harder opponents and your elo hits the floor.

It depends on how the matchmaking works. It's not only about winning and losing. In particular, when you're matched against a team with higher elo, the sytem "expects" you to lose, and you will only lose a small amount of elo. If you win against a higher elo team, you gain a lot of elo (and they lose a lot). Of course, this all assumes hirez actually uses elo matchmaking, which I'm not sure of.

I'm not sure if you know this but almost everyone goes though this stage. Look at how you're playing and why those people you think aren't very good are beating you.

It's usually something you can fix, more often than it's not it's because you're panicking.

What's your cm/360?
>>
>>158247001
I get you are trying to help but Its poor explanation on my part I can't find a good way to describe it. I can do well and win games and I feel like I do pretty decent but its just aiming in general its not like I'm brand new to FPS.

I excel with characters that some people feel are not the best to play like evie/skye/drog because it all about movement and tactics than just raw aim like kinessa/viktor/ying/bomb king. It makes being in certain roles awful. I always been more of a fighter guy nothing really transfer over though save for not having match jitters.

He means that if you go in game and do a full 360 with your mouse, how many centimeters does your mouse move?

How many centimetres do you have to cover with your mouse to do a full rotation?

I'm asking because I know a lot of people who were playing with sensitivities that were much too high for them and improved drastically once they readjusted to a more comfortable speed.

You can do well with high sensitivity if you're good at it, but most people do well with lower sensitivity settings.
Most "pro" gamers run with lower sensitivities to make tracking small movements easier.

Since you didn't know what I meant I assume you haven't given this much thought.

Add me up nerds. I can't play today but probably will tomorrow. I want to have good teammates for once.
Feel free to judge me by looking up my stats I guess, I don't think I'm anything special but I'd say at the very least better than the average pubshitter.
I could join the discord but weren't you saying it was cancer or some shit?

You guys ARE good, right?

How big is your mousepad?

For reference, my 360 in Paladins is about 35cm. My mousepad is 45cm wide. You could afford to lower your sens if you have mousepad space to spare.

Defenses now give .5 points.

Fixed the game, you're welcome.

>>158249504
We used to have a system like that, hirez changed it to what we have now. Wow, a lot of stuff can be summed as "used to be good, then hirez changed it"

>>158248871
That's not uncommon for a high sensitivity player.
I use roughly twice that myself, and I think you should go and seriously experiment for a bit to find out if you really are most comfortable with that setting.
If you're going to a low sensitivity it's going to take some adjusting to, and you'll have to relearn moving the mouse with your forearm instead of just your wrist.

Also, as I don't think Paladins supports raw input yet, you might want to make sure your Windows sensitivity slider is on the 6th notch, which means your mouse input is 1:1 with the sensor output.
If it's not, it can cause some issues with unpredictable mouse movement that you wouldn't necessarily notice.

Practicing aim is mostly about finding what you're most comfortable with (and do really experiment with all possibilities, not just what you're used to) and then just practicing that muscle memory.

Take the Healing Station and Bowling Ball cards. Always stay on the move. If they walk through your barrier, just swap sides. Become an unkillable dwarf.

I'm new to the game, so far I've enjoyed playing Cassie. Is there more to her than knowing how to aim and using the damage boost from rolls and knockbacks? Game didn't seem to be so diffucult so far.
>>
>>158245286
>It takes ages to get better aiming in fps
Not really.

1. buy 144hz monitor
2. make sure your mouse has the rawest input possible, disable Windows accel etc, if you're a lower sensitivity player make sure you have enough mousepad space, and also get a mouse with a good sensor (Logitech, Zowie etc).
3. optimize your games to get high FPS, make sure your computer is also well taken care of (no heat issues and the like) to avoid stutters and FPS drops.
4. play with your new settings for a week
5. enjoy magically having aim out of nowhere.

Up to account level 5 is VS bots. It'll get harder.
That's pretty much how to play Cassie. Damage characters tend not to have too much depth to them. Try Drogoz next.
>>
>>158251098
If your account level is <5 you have been killing bots. The experience you get is based on your level, as you level up your face much stronger opponents.

You go from "this is pretty easy" to screaming at your party members because them acting like fucktards will throw the matches over and over.
>>
>>158251098
Cassie is prety easy to pick up. When you face actually decent people prepare to get flanked a lot though, but Cassie can actually beat flankers more often than not if you're 2gud.
>>
>>158249787
what other shit existed in this game?
i remember someone mentioning fog once or something
>>
>>158251180
Aiming is about muscle memory and daily practice and excercises (if you're tryhard), to say buying things and changing settings can make you have a really good aim is stupid.

If it were that simple why on earth are blizzard paying so much money for the top teams to win.

Is there anything wrong with just sticking with Viktor? He's easily my best character and I see no reason to ever play anyone else.
>>
>>158251521
>to say buying things and changing settings can make you have a really good aim is stupid
Aiming is literally 90% playing at high FPS on a high refresh rate monitor. It just comes off naturally if your game is smooth at all times.
>>
>>158251394
that's another game mode that they might add back into the game in the future

teamdeathmatch, you all only get one life per round, a death fog forces you towards the center as time goes on.
>>
>>158251556
Well if you play competitive it's pretty much a race to see which team instalocks Viktor first so you might be forced to have other characters you know how to play.
>>
>>158251286
>>158251307
Well, that explains why I was doing so well on my first matches, lel

>>158251373
This started happeining more often than not in my later matches (I'm lvl 6), yeah. I feel like I should utilize my tools better sometimes, I rely too much on m1 and forget I have a roll, for instance. Could you give any tips to a newish player?
>>
>>158251556
You won't be able to do ranked
pretty much it
>>
>>158251556
Speaking as someone who almost exclusively plays frontline, I really don't care as long as you kill the other guys before they kill me. Though good luck with finding good pubs if you only play one role.
>>
>>158251394
Okay so this is what a map in Paladins used to look like, they were pretty big which is why we have the mount system (You used to be able to mount up whenever you wanted). The fog was something in another game mode called "Survival", it was a round based game type where you didn't respawn after death your goal was simple just kill the enemy team before they kill your team. The game would pick one of the white spots you see on the map and fog that dealt damage to players would come from the edges of the map until it was at the edge of the point where the white circle is.
>>
>>158251847
If you have a friend to duoqueue with he can help you get rid of annoying flankers. Pip + Cassie is a really good combo for that kind of stuff. Aside from that just remember map layouts and try to find comfy higher ground positions to fight from, and if it's one of your team mates who's getting flanked you might want to roll over to their side since your huge damage can easily turn the tide and kill the flanker.

Sounds fun, why was it removed? And why did hirez remove the ability to mount manually? Would be neat for when the game drops you and the bot inexplicably decides to dismount in the base.

>>158251556
Yes.

Why would you play GenericFPS-Guy when you could play something more interesting
