Paladins Is ACTUALLY Good (and here's why)

[@NoEddiesChoom]

Bros I know I can shoot the coin 😭 Just dont like this skill :D

[@M4anue3l]

Feels so bad to shoot the coin while you can just shoot them

[@JoyRonin]

​@M4anue3l the coin is used to hit enemies u can't shoot with your gun 😐

[@jaydiddy..]

​@JoyRonin uh no you can shoot the coin you just got to hit coin its not hard to do

[@XarronChaos]

Paladins is such a slept on hero shooter. People prefer Overwatch cause they can switch like crazy to get a W while with Paladins all you need is the right loadout build, talent and buying the right items to get the win. No matter what type of comp you run, all you need is strategy. Also, their tanks are hybrids, tanky as hell but still put out damage while the supports on the other hand, any Paladins support can out heal an Overwatch support (yeah that's my hot take comparing supports between Overwatch and Paladins) plus Paladins champions can heal you if you're on the other side of a wall

[@TheGodOf69]

probably because they can't afford stable servers and ddos protection, on game hack forums they literally have people ddossing the entire region simply because they got upset, SEA is now being nearly 24/7 ddossed, whenever you queue you get in the selection screen for 10 seconds and you get kicked back to main menu, most my SEA friends uninstalled since it's literally unplayable

[@thatonemage]

@@TheGodOf69 Game is good, HI-REZ is just straight up dog shit, they deserve to be with Satan after the way they treat Paladins like shit also, game was better back then, it became shit because of this shitty studio

[@banheesos]

​@@TheGodOf69 I live in SEA and I've NEVER queued in SEA server, this goes to all games of multiple platform that SEA server will be full of dog shit players. Most SEA players avoid the server unless the other servers are unplayable due to lag or congestion

[@zydn]

@@TheGodOf69 literally like the reason why paladins is a flop game is because the engine and servers are so shitty because it's made by hirez. there's not enough people playing it or profit being made to warrant them remaking the game from ground up so the game will never be good because it will forever be bogged down by these issues. the actual gameplay and gameplay systems are really good but the game is an unpolished buggy laggy mess and forever will be.

[@scrollingthru45]

Should also mention the healers are actually fun in Paladins versus Overwatch at least imo. I find all the supports in OW mind numbingly boring.

[@virenrana6459]

There is a reason this game has survived everything. At the end even after every issues like low budget,outdated engine,bugs it's a good game hell its a great game.

[@Prushinthespirit]

Yeah, Hi-Rez know how to make the core gameplay right: addictive and fun. That's what they always do first, that's their policy. They just know how to make a good game. Yet, by the same policy they tend to backstage the aesthetic part of the game which hurts it popularity: games look unpolished as if they were still in alpha. Which makes their games look unappealing for potential new audience. Also all of their older games run on spaghetti code, so they're always on the verge of falling apart every big patch.

[@animationtv426]

If there's a game that needs a sequel. Is paladins on a new engine

[@anthonyraleighsanders3539]

I absolutely love Paladins. Been a player since beta. Amazing to see what it has become through the years

[@kiryukazuma7960]

Paladins has every small thing Overwatch could imagine but Overwatch took two major things, polish and marketing and it created this narrative than Paladins was a clone trying to imitate Overwatch.

[@michaparchas5394]

Show me proof for that

[@animationtv426]

Paladins for sure lacks polish. That's why it needs a remake

[@BenovskyGM]

I have been a Paladins players since it appeared in Switch back in 2016. I enjoyed so much i kinda took it a bit more seriously and played it on PC, that's where the real hook got me. The game has an insane amounts of customization (its less for competitive). And i just love the game, and right now there's a beta for Enemy Waves, its really meh, but making builds for competitive, casual and waves really gives the game a feeling of options.

[@CodyTheBlackChickenSubscribe]

I would have still continued to play exclusively on the switch but the developers had to be stupid and remove it and now I'm sad

[@RianCezar-ni7yo]

The Enemy Waves mode has some different customizations of dificulty, solo, 3 players, and 5, they were available in different timings idk, it will have a new update to have some boss enemies like in an event of the past when Dredge was released, i think it will be more funny after it, considering that the mode will have some special attention too since it's a beta mode.

[@dogboatzero9978]

switched dropped in 2017 bruh

[@DemiCape]

dude there was no switch port when I joined the game during the summer of 2017.

[@BenovskyGM]

I didn't remember the year correctly, sorry. It was when Koga was brand new.

[@Lewiiugamepad]

It nice that some people are giving this game a honest shot especially since Overwatch 2 isn’t doing has well. Been a player since closed Beta on consoles (PS4) then I moved to Switch then Switch version shutdowns so to keep my progress I changed to Steam and this is where I’m at now XD. This game has aged for sure and didn’t had the same polished has Overwatch but I always find the characters in Paladins more charming or charismatic (plus vibed more with the humor). This helps the game to be vibrant and still looks good because of its artistic direction. Paladins : Chads of the Realm

[@CheddarGetter]

More ppl need to play this game.

[@lulusomchai6000]

I really miss playing this game... I played it on Switch from 2018 to 2022 (because i don't have any other console or money to buy them) I know it was not the best plateforme, but it was the best game i played, i hope i can one day play it again somewhere else

[@DracoBudSmith]

Rei has been my most played character in Paladins. I'm thinking about putting some time with Io as well.

[@rubberduckyoverlord6300]

I love paladins and play it a lot. My only problems with the game are Hero Balance and Matchmaking. some of the heroes are pretty powerful, while others can be quite week. Innevitable in all games, but it feels bad when you choose a weaker character into a team of the best heroes. The matchmaking is the worst issue though. A well balanced game is so much fun, but all to often you just get rolled or roll the enemy team. If they improve the matchmaking, Paladins would be my favorite FPS ever.

[@RianCezar-ni7yo]

idk why, but i feel like in the past it had a better matchmaking system

[@noahabel5698]

its because they don't have enough players to balance it super well

[@sebastiancristaldo6868]

Paladins still being a good game with a nice and fun gameplay In paladins the roles can swap like: tank can be flank A flank as healer Healer as damage A damage as a tank

[@nightcaller92]

It's definitely contextual on if the character has the tools to offclass, but I do love that diversity, that it's possible to play characters so different and yet still be fundamentally themselves

[@krishnavamsicherukuri4247]

Shoot the coin after tossing it bro

[@villageflippinidiot]

Please don't spend time in actual games shooting the coin.

[@villageflippinidiot]

Actually, just don't press that button at all

[@DemiCape]

@@villageflippinidiot Still a decent choice if you want to find people in corners, so it does have its niche.

[@clockwork6966]

its nice that this review wasnt just a "play 10 games, say it was alright, leave" kind of deal. hes got to level 75 playing which is a more than fair amount of gametime to form a fair and grounded viewpoint, even if he didnt like it after that time.

[@kkmspm]

i love paladins. is more dota fps like than a hero shooter. strategy is everything.

[@paxcity]

Glad you enjoyed the game and gave it an honest chance. Also shoot the coin after you throw it 😭

[@djjordg2748]

I was talking to my friends about these 2, I said name a hero in OW and I can tell you all their faults easily apart from a handful. Example people call Zen shit when he literally can melt anyone, and the problem with the game is of course the counter thing for me. Like even in casual good luck playing any hero you actually like as i've had the enemy dps switch for me and the tank when i'm on tank, you get boiled down to playing a few heros pretty much Also forgot to say some hitscans feel like shit in OW and some are just the best, I started with Cass and now I'd just play Ashe as she's just better no question. In Paladins I like Lian and Cassie is a fun projectile

[@turki779]

nice vid BTW her coin ability is so usefull but you have to shoot at it to activate it and when you hit it again it deals dmg to enemies in range in it has LOS on them it can be used to snipe ppl behind cover

[@xXbaker115Xx]

Back when paladins first came out the map was MASSIVE I wish theyd bring that back And with vales concord picking interest and hirez already having a moba id like to see a moba like game mode

[@lovethepandainyou]

You can actually play in it again. It's one of the arcade modes. I just played in one today. Admittedly, it's not as valid as putting them in a proper, regular mode, but that's something.

[@xXbaker115Xx]

@@lovethepandainyou that's actually really cool might have to redownload

[@Alfheidhr]

Would love to actually enjoy the game, and will probably do when hackers are no longer in the pictures

[@doomanime61]

Viktor doing video about Paladins? I enjoyed this video although I'm an old player. :)

[@pdsmith11803]

Ive got 3000 hours in the game and im still not bored with it.

[@ItsAweeb]

Your accent seems familiar are you perchance Finnish or Estonian?

[@kyntyr5474]

I thought Finnish as well, but the way he pronounced tyra maybe not? Idk lol

[@travooses]

You do know if you shoot the coin it'll deal damage right? shoot it once and it'll stop the coin mid air from there if coin positioning is good you can continue to shoot it to get that damage in

[@rip4anskiy7]

I know this video is supposed to be like a review of Paladins experience with some Overwatch comparisons driven for ease of understanding. But by God, the poor Yag player around the 3rd minute. To be fair, entirely deserved deaths for trying to be a point tank on a glorified flank role. But still, as a vore worm player, I can feel the frustration of not being able to get away in time, even if it's due to one's own misplay

[@tutukus9275]

Ive been playing palidins for 2 days now after years of ow, so much more fun

[@Magama567]

u do know that ur supposed to shoot saati's coin which stops it in the air and when u shoot it again the bullets ricochet auto targeting enemies

[@allesinallem7]

I started to play paladins when it was i think a year or so on the Switch, and i really got into it, despite the crashes. Then when overwatch 2 came out i tried it and it was just not as much fun as paladins for me.

[@Fairuslolomg]

Been playing paladins lately and it is way funnier than Overwatch. Specially with friends. In Overwatch you are forced to a certain playstyle depending on which character you choose. In Paladins you are perfectly able to bend your playstyle depending on the situation, build and items shop. You can turn a Flank into a Support, turn a Tank into an absolute powerhouse or become absolutely immortal with the propper Support characters (looking at you, healing beam Furia)

[@lordgreiratthethird4828]

I enjoy paladins, since it came out, however I can't get past the client. The game feels almost forgotten and the client is very on the jankey side. I have bugs from not being able to check out my loadout, to being unable to queue unless I close the game and reopen. While I think the game is fun, the client alone keeps me from putting more hours than I have already. Though, if the client got an upgrade, I would jump on this game instantly, I'd play it a lot without question.

[@paniago82]

Here traveler some engagement for your effort 🪙

[@flamingninja728]

[@Dragonia]

I have been a player since open beta in 2017. I still love the game, but I wish the devs have made better decisions, both in the past (ahem, OB64) and now. I have been ass deep in ranked back in ye olden days, I'm trying to get back but since ranked is well Kinda dead (the amount of repeat players I see in my games is abysmal. Its that or I sit in the queue for upwards of 10, 15 or even 20 minutes.) It's been hard.

[@Bagelking3900]

The game is far better if they updated some sounds like hit effects it will golden. Plus the network being updated .

[@fredmertz8191]

The pepper skin for pip makes my damn blood boil as a pip main.

[@DeathDasein]

Funny thing is that Paladins came out first, before OverWatch. Besides they are 2 completely different games. I play both and I prefer Paladins.-

[@DESMal]

As a Paladins player I was always wondering how Hog could be so dominant, when Paladin's equivalent Makoa is either underpowered or just balanced... The real reason makoa's strong is Shield... I guess it's the one shot that Hog has..?? Besides that another difference. I loved playing Support and tanks in Paladins. They're genuinely enjoyable to play, I tried Overwatch 2 when it came out, and being a Support/tank main, I tried those and didn't enjoy any... Always getting yelled at for not knowing every map or what bad match ups where and yelled at to change characters when I just want to play and learn a hero in casual... And just being deleted before I can react in overwatch? where's the fun in that. While in paladins I can actually live longer then half a second as a support, let alone a tank. Paladins is just more enjoyable.

[@DeathDasein]

When there was Pro Tournaments Makoa was a mandatory pick, the char is hella strong mate.

[@DESMal]

@@DeathDasein In comps he's extremely strong, Especially back in Pirate meta, which revolved around him. but in the world of Soloqueue I almost never see him

[@DemiCape]

hog dominant? I play both overwatch and paladins and for years, hog has been off meta and not very good, only in some seasons in metas that favor hog has he been strong. Makoa on other hand has actually been for many years the meta tank in paladins, just in recent years after patches did he become more balanced. The shield spam meta with makoa for example was wild.

[@DemiCape]

@@DESMal Maybe you dont see him these days that often, but i clearly remember seeing him quite often back in 2017-2020

[@wovenowl7535]

As someone who has been playing since the very first OB, I can confidently say that Paladins, while fun, can be a dice roll. The matchmaking needs work as well as server stability, better anticheat prevention, and some characters get more content than others, but other than that it's a pretty fun and solid game.

[@cortezjones18]

Paladins is good for like 1 week before the bugs get to you

[@Beessokoo1coo1]

Also her coin ability just flip it and shoot it.

[@alexandresoutonogueira7675]

Paladins and Terraria are the best games on Steam. CSGO was also one of the best, but since CS2, it dropped a lot on quality.

[@darkcymruchannel5683]

main reason i dont play paladins much is because of servers and match making issues

[@wisemage0]

I was here before you got famous.

[@eagleangel5568]

Paladins is a good game and keep in mind hi rez i believe higher ups dont give much funding to the paladins team so thats why the game looks very almost finished if that makes sense if they gave them the funding there looking for this could of been and maybe even be a rival to overwatch and marvel rivals as well like that's the main issue and they already have a 5v5 formula that works very well as well that tanks dont feel well like ticking time bombs or feel like there overpowered

[@user-tt6oe2th6b]

Paladins is great at it's core but I wish the developers would dedicate their time for bug fixes, balance, and QOL changes instead of features no one asked for.

[@iexist8120]

Now I love both games but they both do niether healer(different from supports) or tanks correctly

[@lovethepandainyou]

I know many players who went over to OW after many years of playing Paladins. As far as I know, the big majority of them didn't last on OW and either came back or just found another game more satisfying than OW. I technically am one of those. I tried OW2 for real after being burned out by Paladins' frustrating matchmaking and frequent bots. I got into it "seriously" to understand the game proper. I didn't last long on Counterwatch. It's such a shitshow as a tank main.

your suposed to shoot the coin and then the coin shoots enemy, its a bs play style called coin spam

[@jvbon646]

My friends recently got me into Overwatch 2 after I told them I play Paladins (well, used too before Switch support ended) And my god, I can't tell you just how bare-bones OW2 felt when I started going tru the menus and characters😐 It felt as if getting ready to play Tekken or Street Fighter and when I get to the party all they have is an indie fighting game where the attacks are just A-Punch B-Jump. The kits are extremely simple, most of the moves where like a single phrase long. The ones with any kind of depth didn't even give you the whole data. The character desings are mid, and there's almost no variaty. They feel like a Power Ranger group, or as if all of their armors were designed by Iron Man sharing a unifiedstyle across the board. It's either a dude with some armor, oradude with some armor and a bow,or a girl with some armor, or a gorilla with the same armor, or a robot that looks similar to the same armor everyone else have. The only ones to have any kind of uniqueness to them are the junkyard group. I picked Orisa cuz it was the only one that caught my attention, got a pretty unique desing despite being just another robot, and the centaur body type is prettycool. The Tank+Minigun felt tangentally like Raum, which is the Frontline I used. It doesn't help that I main Vora, and there wasn't a single character like her in the game. I miss Paladins variaty 😢 No talents, no Decks, no Items, no nothing to personalize the character. But hey! You can add a microscopic keychain to your gun that does nothing and can barely be seen!!! Personalization feels nonexistant in the game. Overall it feels like just a watered down Paladins
