>>170466602
Leaning Grover because randoms never heal. Is this a bad idea?

>>170466602
Get the hog, he's top tier.

>>170466924
I do have much more OW hog trigger time than any other hero, so I figured it was the logical choice.

>>170466863
Playing support or tank without a friend to play support/tank with you is the biggest mistake you can make.
You may have fun for a while, but then you'll constantly die alone on the objective while your teammates are all spread out at 5 miles away from the objective.

WHERE IS THE PATCH YOU JEW

>>170467105
Thankfully I should have 1-4 friends with me usually. I do occasionally play solo, though. As a secondary shitter carry, what would you suggest?

>>170467242
It had some bugs, they're working on it.

>inb4, everyone except Maeve is disabled when patch goes live

>>170467357
Cassie is always good as a carry, and she's free. Androxus maybe? But you can carry with almost everything honestly, even Grover.

>>170467619
Grover's long range headshots are one of the things that drew me in.

>>170467357
Ying/Mal Damba are the best healers, Grover can carry games, Torvald/Fernando are top tier tanks but Ruckus/Makoa are the most fun to play as.

Drogoz is the best damage dealer and tank killer if you can hit his rockets, Viktor is the easiest but still deals a lot of damage. Bomb king is fun. Don't touch Kinessa if you can't aim well, she's shit.

Best flankers are Evie/Androxus, Maeve right now is very strong, but she's getting nerfed pretty hard next patch. Buck is fun. Skye is bugged so she's not totally shit, but she has no real escapes like the other flanks.

>>170468185
Thanks for the input!

>11 minutes between last thread dying and creation of new one

Dead game lol

>>170468821
No new patch, and europoors are sleeping.

>>170465283
I liked this game before ob43. I just can't play it anymore now.

>>170468185
>Torvald/Fernando are top tier tanks
I feel like it's almost misinformation.
Torvald is good if you don't have healer, because 2/3 of his health are shields and he's pretty high in the tierlists but Nando is kind of weak right now however still fun to play. And he's still the best looking.
Barik is pretty strong now, as for Ruckus he might have it rough if you'll run him as a solo tank. Makoa is just murder machine, probably the best tank.

>>170469915
I honestly dont get the fernando is weak meme, maybe its because im really consistent with hitting the fireball with its legendary but honestly his health is still pretty high and while fernando has gotten multiple nerf, hes pretty balanced all things considered

Why is it that when I play with 1 or 2 of my friends I win nonstop but then I play with 3-4 and Lose non stop never getting even a point capped.

What can I do to make my friends play right without calling them shitniggers and sperging?

>>170469673
What do you blame for that? Legendaries? Current meta? Maeve?
I'm actually a little bit tired of the current meta, with two tanks always, but I'm happy seeing champions that were out of business back, like Grohk or Barik.

>>170465283
i feel like that kung fu evie design has a lot of potential

>>170465705
kissing up to sjws without actually doing anything important is good practice

>>170470157
The biggest problem is that his shield is bugged as fuck, not only when you are walking backwards, but sometimes you can get hooked through it, pounced on or even get Skye's poison bolts to the face. And I miss default damage stacking on fireball, scorch is pretty much mandatory if you want to keep up with the damage everyone has right now. He's not absolute garbage, but he could use some tweaking or better legendaries.

>>170470223
The bigger the stack the more matchmaking kicks you in the ass. You will play against much better players if you are in bigger team.
As for how to not sperg... Wish I knew that myself.

>>170470223
first make sure it's not your fault

Hello, it's that noob who started late last week.

Well /palg/, you did it. I finally like this game better than OW or TF2.

I was shittalking the game at first, and you all rightfully called me bad. But I've come around to it.
If finding matches wasn't as hard as pulling teeth while submerged in lava, then I would never look at other games.

>>170480548
but anon, didn't you hear? drogoz is 100% balanced
it's totally fair that he gets a free guaranteed kill every 30 seconds, you just need to git gud :^)

>>170478831
I don't know about his problems with it, but my problem is that the potion doesn't come out from exactly where you're looking, it's centered on his character model.
So when you throw it, and you're looking down at someone below you, it almost always hits the floor you're standing on unless you get the angles just right. Which sucks because you can't throw it while jumping, I don't think.

>>170480548
>go full tank team
>don't have the damage to kill drogoz

serves you right

also to dodge drogoz's ult you need to abuse the SHIT out of corners and doorways, you won't always be in a position to, but it's actually easier to immediately vine to some awkward terrain and prepare to dodge him than use vine to dodge while he's ulting.

>>170480548
That's his weakness though, isn't it? Damaging him while he's flying is the only counter to it, and you didn't get any damage characters.

I may have just been seeing shitty players, but very few androxus players I've seen are aware that he can fly or at least never leave ground level.
Have I been unlucky or is that just a common thing for other players not to know?

>>170482162
Actually, I disagree. They are too serious.
What most games lack nowadays are concept designs that are unique. MOBA designers think that all there is to games of their genre are designs like in OP. As a result, if you have seen one MOBA, you might have seen them all.

Fortunately, Gigantic and Paladins seem to be going for the same quirky concepts as TF2.

>>170482635
This is not Fernando, this is some kind of Drogoz/Tyra mash-up in Nando-like armour.

It's not like pounce, shitter. Just shoot him, preferably with andro or viktor. Oh wait we've already established you can't aim.
It's all about positioning anyway. I was playing torvald against tinyfetus and I didn't get ulted once because I always faded away from the cart whenever I didn't see him around. Get good instead of crying, faggot. You're more pathetic than the betas who cried about skye being OP.

Colossal chest only. You can buy Andy skin though.

They want you to slowly buy everything from the colossal chest so you can "easily" get new skins put in there.

>you can't do anything to viktor as fernando
Last time I checked you can just fry him alive, fireball him so he can't regen with his cardio card, and if he's trying to run away then use charge or the card that gives you additional speed after fireball and finish the deed. Or just hide behind the shield, because even with wrecker Viktor can't burst it as fast as Drogoz, and unlike the lizard, he can't spam firespit above it to ignore shield's hitbox.

>>170495449
>1 character is the best counter to every other character in the game

nerf drogoz instead

>>170491442

>>170495246

But they are literally nerfing Maeve's entire kit, let's see how that will turn out, I hope that they adress the Drogoz problem in the same way.

>>170495246

>>170495656
No need to nerf it, hitbox is already very small.

>>170495584
>fry him alive
You must be playing at 1500 because there is no situation where you choose to engage fernando as viktor at a range where he can do anything to you.
>use charge or the card that gives you additional speed after fireball and finish the deed
Then he'll just run a bit further away because charge has a cooldown and hustle doesn't.
>Or just hide behind the shield

>>170495838

I already knew you couldn't aim because you don't want to play androxus, but come on

>>170495246
In a battle between 2 players of similar skill the Drogoz has the advantadge, he can hit people with the firespit without exposing himself too much and if he gets lucky with a salvo its game over.

>>170496195
so basically you don't want to get better

>>170495994
>where you choose to engage fernando as viktor at a range where he can do anything to you
Have you ever heard of Flanknando? Or hipfire Viktor?
>Then he'll just run a bit further away
And afterburn will probably kill him, and if not, then wait for another fireball, it has a 4 s cooldown. Vik also has 300 hp less than Drogoz

Cassie only becomes annoying at high levels of skill and she's only actually OP in the hands of the very best, otherwise she's a mildly strong character, not even close to Drogoz.

>>170496578
>choose to
Please read more carefully. Hipfire viktor can also stay out of fernando's effective range.
>wait for another fireball
Which he can easily dodge with firing stance or by just running to the side.
>Did you even read the rest of the post?
Do you even know what wrecker does to every shield when purchased by every character?

>>170495085
because nobody reasonable plays Fernando and expects to win

>>170497053
Drogoz is only annoying because you're shit. If you're good at any of the hitscan damages, ie every single damage besides Drogoz, you can easily disable him. In high level play the only thing Drogoz is used for is tearing down deathballs, he's completely useless at actual combat.

>>170497561
>hitscan doesnt do less damage at range
yeah man

>>170497561
>he's completely useless at actual combat.
What game are you playing?

So really, how good is Drogoz? Too good?

>>170498890
he's only allowed to be good because he's the only thing keeping the Triple Tank Two Healer meta in check from ruining the game

This shit started after the meltdown when they rightfully nerfed his absurd mobility, now he became some kind of protected species because no one wants to touch him for fear of the inevitable fanboy backlash.

>>170499361

they nerfed his damage twice though

>>170499161
The sad truth is that he HAS to stay as he is in order to stop that

Will colossal chest go on sale?

maybe make his firespit destroyable? 750 HP sounds nice but im not entirely sure about any solid numbers when it comes to how much it should have. shouldnt be horribly beefy for a goddamn loogie but it shouldn't be destroyed by being accidentally sneezed at either.

>>170500168
Just lower the range and don't let him be able to cast two in a row as a reward for hitting two people, that's literally it

>>170498725

ngl this is more of a buff since you can follow that up with another fire spit if you have the masterful card (which you should) or a salvo more easily since they aren't scattered and displaced by the knockback.

Drogoz mains are insufferable, you all paint Drogoz as such a nerfed and poor character yet you all end up top damaging every game he's picked.

This doesn't mean you're all much better than everyone you're just using an incredibly powerful character that could use some slight nerfing as the game progresses.

But know this, you are not gimping yourselves by playing Drogoz as you all think and whine, you are taking advantage of an extremely powerful champion so get good and stop complaining you morons.

>>170502001
I didn't do that, I just pointed out that there have been nerfs; ergo he's not protected at all unlike Androxus.
>top damaging
Doing a shitton of damage quickly doesn't mean dick until lategame when caut 3 is up and the damage isn't immediately healed. Elims are what matters, and for the most part, Viktor has an easier time securing kills than Drogoz.
>you are not gimping yourselves by playing Drogoz
If there isn't a good Cassie/Viktor/Androxus on the other team, sure.

So, what do we do about hackers?

>>170502001
The only reason we get top damage is because Drogoz players are a cut above the rest. It takes advanced brainpower to leverage our mobility in order to utilize slow-moving projectiles correctly, compared to, say, Viktor. When someone who actually knows what they're doing powergames by playing as a damage other than Drogoz, they usually get top damge, because it's just so much easier to shit out damage with hitscan's range.

think about it this way

if 20% life rip didnt save you, why would 50% would? most of the time it wouldnt because if youre fightning someone like androxus, its not really gonna help if he pops out of corners
invest in something different like morale boost or chronos
tyra has a nice ult and a lot of combat abilities, and chronos can shave off a lot of seconds with the long cooldowns

but i personally like the grenade legendary because its so satisfying landing a 1000 damage grenade on some viktor who thinks he can run away

>>170506248
I prefer to take nimble with her.

>>170505396

As a Drogoz main, I disagree. Sure, Drogoz takes more skill than most champs, but his fire rate is so high that you can spam his missiles and at least hit something, unlike for example Evie. Honestly, every other damage and flank class feels gimped to me compared to Drogoz. Im actually quite surprised when they gave us a 65% flight speed card too, because this was right after nerfing it to below 30% flight speed.

>>170506741
You clearly haven't played against competent players. At a high level the only thing Drogoz is good for is sitting in a shield and spamming at the point. That's why pros just use fusillade and not wyrm jets. At a high level you will never win a duel against any damage or flank as Drogoz.

>>170505641
I wish drogoz had soldier's rockets.

>>170506983
Ive played against competent and competitive players before and after last patch, and let me tell you this 65% flight speed buff makes him OP even at high level play.

Do not listen to these scrubs to be honest mate.

Your sens is just good enough, i play even faster and i have good aim.

This isn't counter strike, you need faster movement so going super low isn't a good idea in arena style shooters (quake, tf2, OW, paladins) where people bounce and fly around the map at high speeds.

I'd go as far as raising it a bit, and also there isn't a reliable way to train aiming in paladins, when i started playing this game i had already trained my aim in countless hours of tf2's MGE mod so i was already decent/good.

Doing 1 v 1s on this game can really help you improve your aim.

Anyone can shoot at people's backs but when people turn around and start shooting back most people freak out, training in 1 v 1s help you stay calm and beat them easily.

Its a team based game but you need to tune your 1 v 1 skills and shooting at Skyes who don't move isn't the way to improve them.

I wish I can meet a proper Grover, not these faggy sniper Grovers that don't stick with and heal the front lines. Grover with Ferocity isn't even bad by itself, you can just make the Drogoz/Kinessa cry but still be useful as a healer.

This is with medium sens

7-9 inches per 360

You need medium sens to keep up with everything that happens on these kind of shooters, otherwise you're gimping yourself massively, borderline using a crutch since you should teach your hand to not spaz out so you don't sacrifice as much movement for accuracy.

Look kid I played TF2 competetively went to a bunch of LANs and literally ALL the good soldiers had crazy low sensitivity. Are you going to tell me next you don't need to move your camera much with soldier? Rofl. Sure you can have higher sensitivity on some characters, but Andy is definitely the character that benefits the most from having a really low sensitivity. Lower sensitivity makes for better aim, and he was asking how to improve his aim. It's real fucking simple. Want an example from Paladins? Go look at Stolzey play, his sensitivity is really low. You telling me Stolzey doesn't know what's up?

I think it would be awesome if there were 1v1 practice lobbies, ewith small maps with design that emulates real map combat situations, instant respawns, full reset on kill, where you could just straight up practice 1v1 nonstop, like those servers in csgo.

But 4 inches is still a BIT long, right? It's not like it's THAT short?

>>170517897
4 inches for a 360 degree turn is pretty short, yeah. It's not low sens, more like medium sens. Remember, it's not 180 turn we're talking here

>>170518178
its high sens, medium sens starts around 6-6.5

very hard to control, i'd never recommend high sens, the people who make it work make it work REALLY good but they're just freaks, a nice sensible sens to recommend to start testing is 9 inches / 360 and then raise/lower as you see fit.

But people recommending REALLY REALLY low sensitivities on arena shooters are a meme, this game isn't counter strike and you're doing yourself a disservice by getting used to low sens if your aim isn't even good.

I've tried a lot of sensitivites in my life from 3 in /360 to 24 in/360 it is true that it is subjective but people shouldn't recommend insanely low sensitivites, they aren't optimal for this kind of games.

But my elo has been going consistently up, mostly because i sacrifice personal stats to get a win (aka prioritize finishing kills/damage rather than keeping a nice k/d)

I'm mermoco

Considering i'm one of the only people on the thread who actually posts his username for everyone to check i'd say i have one of the highest elos out of everyone here and people like you (Your type lurks in every general) you are the kind of player that NEVER EVER will amount to anything but sure loves to talk like he is good when you're too scared to even post your profile)

>>170514790
did jewbear ever give a reason why they removed health drops dropping from kills?

sup my fellow paladins. im returning to play so what can i expect? has aggression finally become useful?

>>170519047
What's your competetive rating mermoco?

>>170518897
He's got 2.6k elo, you insecure little dumbass

>>170519219
Aggression has been removed my nigga

>>170519350
>2.6k 3lo
>in casual
And nothing of value was gained

>>170519393

>muh ranked

If the top players don't even play ranked why should i, what's the incentive?

Not everyone gets paired against potatoes in casual like you low elo shitters, i run into stolzey, bitey, asdfmaster, tinyfetus, pretty much every guy who plays in the top teams i've gone against in casual matches, there are sessions where i go against them back to back and sessions where i don't go against any of them.

I just want to play stone mom, am I asking for so much Jewbear?

>>170519519
Most of us don't care enough to quit every match where I team is low elo.

>>170519620
What do you even mean with this post?

>>170519519
So you didn't even calibrate your competitive rating?

>>170519894
Yup i don't see the point of waiting 10-30 minutes in queue to get paired with even bigger shitters and the higher amount of aimbotters that play ranked.

There is legit no reason, earlier me and a SILVER kinessa were making some master Drogoz rage calling us hackers in casual plus most of the time someone plays with his crappy diamond border they end up doing the worst out of everyone else.

I'd rather get to play more games and get better faster (casual) than stop having as much fun and even RAGE because things i can't control are making me lose elo (ranked).

Comp matchmaking queue takes 15 minutes every time because Drycunt refuses to realize that their MMR system is fucked and 15 minutes is the time it takes until the system swaps over to a wider MMR margin, which happens 95/100 times, and yet they refuse to just make the wider MMR margin the default.

>>170520150
True that, preach it brotha. Why the actual shit do they even TRY with their broken ass bullshit anyway? like you said, 90% of matches are uneven, so why not just toss people into shitty uneven matches from the get go, if you're not gonna fix the system.

>>170520074
>Never played comp
>Talking about comp like he knows all about it
See this is why everyone thinks you're full of shit

>>170520593
Post your profile.

>Queen of the hill Nando
Care to elaborate? I wasn't there for the good ol' days.

>>170520593
If you're so god damn good why don't you post your own profile?

>>170520761
I have experience dealing with those kind of shitters.

Nitpickers that will never ever post their profile, because they are utter crap, always setting the highest of standards on everyone else.

>>170520761
Frankly I don't give shit. This isn't reddit you don't need to recognize me to upvote my opinions.

>>170520593
Not the same person, but everyone and their grandpa know that comp is shit, it's an universal truth.

>>170519219
Aggression was removed but it was reborn in form of some legendary cards. And sometimes they are useful.

>>170521624
I can smell that 900 elo kid.

>>170521624
Oh boy
>gets called out for being shittier than the person he's talking to
>"y-yeah well i didnt even care in the first place, r-reddit!"
Fucking please, you're just pissy cause his elo is higher than yours which by your very own definition makes his opinion more valid than yours

>when you get into a duel with enemy flanker and lose cause your aim sucks

>>170521923
It's hard to compare e-peens when he's too small to even play ranked

INARA TIME

>>170522319
Not if you post your fucking paladinsguru...

But I digress. Aim (which is fairly subjective as long as it isn't TOO sensitive) is okay as long as it's low enough for you not to overaim every shot. But as said, it's an arena shooter, you can't have as low as some of the CS pros if you ever get too close, or you'll have to move your arm a LOT to get shots in.

Either way, you just gotta say Hey hey hey, It's just an ordinary day, and it's all your state of mind. At the end of the day, you just gotta say it's alright.

>>170522364
I thought it's going to come out much later but hey, time to dick with all the Inara players as Drogoz

>>170522690
Drogoz will be Inara's biggest counter, he can fly over her walls, and she can't do shit against a Drogoz other than shooting him because all of her abilities are on ground.
It seems that Drogoz will delete both her and her walls.

>>170522781
Her walls don't count as shields though so he will need a full clip without dozer to plow through, assuming she puts it inoodrs.

>its updating
Hope you got your exalted pistols already

>People instalocking Inara
Finally, I will have a tank in my team and not 3 flankers.

Fuck off

>>170523704
Well, get ready for people being even more clueless about her abilities or even worse, trapping you in with their walls by accident or on purpose.

So far, I found a pretty effective strategy is to separate people with the walls and the cripple field is a pretty much a death field. Problem with her is that she needs to blow all her cooldown at once to be effective.

>>170524087
She seems like she would be very annoying on Frozen Guard at least

>>170524169
>>170524087
Yeah, I'm almost unstoppable in indoor areas. Veteran is really good as well, most people just ignore me when I wall myself in and I'll just pop back out fully healed.

>>170523704
IT IS MY TIME
TIME TO PLAY HEALSLUT
>inb4 I realize in the middle of the match that I made the mistake of trying to heal a literal potato when I could frag instead

>Want to play Inara because I actually know how to somewhat use her
>Inara gets instalocked every time
>Every Inara on my team is retarded
I want to die right now.

>>170524169
Jaguar Falls could be pretty good, at least in the point fight phase.

Oh boy i can check every legendary in practice

Why is Inara's wall default HP(Or any other deployable's HP for that matter) easily available information?

Is it safe(r) to open radiant chests now? don't wanna end up with a bunch of bugged shit.

Anyone who isn't a fucking ape wants to try and complete the PVE mission?
