The Future of Paladins

[@LappyAwoo]

We need more polish in maps and champions and game stability, its hard to recommend this game when there is so many technnical issues, a lot of people dismiss the game because of this, but Paladins is a great game and deserves better than this

The maps n champions are fine besides the bugs that’s what making ppl stop playing that an the game freezes n AFK ROBOTS IN RANKED but as far as champions and maps that’s the one avenue where they actually succeed

[@masicoler]

This Game is very unfriendly towards new players the tutorial is crap, no info about the shop, or the items, none about loadouts, about team comps, about comeback mechanic, diminising returns, nothing they just teach you to shoot and throw nades as viktor. I can't recomend the Game to anyone even I wouldnt play if i found the Game today its frustrating.

[@kushcloudstv1196]

masicoler I completely agree the tutorial system needs to be updated there still stealth grass in the main tutorial and that’s been removed in the game updates ago n definitely need some kind of tutorial for items n one on how to build a card loadout

Yes u are completly right it just needs polish high rez literally chases every big thing that comes out battle royale,are the terrible cards unbound.

Happy players stick around. I support this game, buy skins, play it and tell my friends to play it. I play for fun this game is, and gameplay.

True, i don't play Siege so i deselected it and only play TDM and Onslaught. Today i got put into a Siege lobby and got a 30 minute deserter penalty for closing the game because i didn't want to waste anyone's time by waiting for the timer to end. I got punished over a bug, these things are what made me stop buying crystals and stuff with real money.

[@RandomVids0987]

Honestly I'd rather have more frontlines and supports so people will actuality learn these very important champions and roles as they outweigh importance by a lot over damage and flank. And I'm also tired of people picking damage and flank and just not do anything with them and throw my games.

[@madratter7031]

I absolutely love Paladins and have over 40 days in game but it breaks my heart that these issues have gone seemingly unaddressed for the longest time.

[@AzureRoxe]

There's visual bugs that have been in the since the very first beta [back when Overwatch was also in beta]. I think it's obvious they either don't care or are too blind to see it.

[@endlesslyy5833]

Yeah. They are sitting on a gold mine but refuse to act on it

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

You have to understand that they only fix stuff not because people demand it but if it will bring them more profit in the end. YOu would probably say "well, having a polished game might give profit". Yes and no, because it's not direct profit whereas giving you new heroes and skins and battle passes makes them money fast because there are people dumb enough to buy it. They would only make the service better if it wasn't profitable to begin with, most companies do not serve the player or the game, they make it better so you spend more money on that. That's why i'm always tempted to buy the champion pack etc and I don't because I don't think Hi-Rez has good credibility

[@st1lysh35]

MOJI HEALER WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA... she was meant to be a healer from the first time...because her way to deal damage is stranger than other flanks and only healers have strange ways to do damage.... I mean look at seris and grohk,... who fires like that in a FPS? well that's because they are both healers and they don't need be so aggressive... more for self defense... I bet moji's basic attacks as a healer would work on teamates too and would also apply magic marks otherwise they would have to rework her abilities bcs you can't heal only with a 3 seconds trail... and if they rework her movement ability to be an only heal ability, she would have no mobility... if they make her Q a heal ability she would have no defense... so my only guess is that she would have her right click to heal and her both heads attacks on left click... otherwise she has to heal with her basics *OR* to heal more with F and to release a healing wave when she pressed Q and also that 800 healing "+" when she gets a kill to work on allies too

As an on-again,off-again casual as hell player, my only real complaint is matchmaking needs to be better. I'm happy with the champions and how they all feel. Obviously there's some I hate and some I love, but unlike Smite or LoL, there's no character that I think "man, I wish this character was never made" when they're picked. It's really just the balance of finding players that are clear mains of a character showing up in my pre-lvl 30 games on my PC/switch accounts (xbox being my main account as I played day 1 for months at a time)

Zzyrks great question. I've been playing paladins since it came out on switch. I bought the $30 founders pack before it was free to play back in June or July I believe.

[@peytonmanzer4757]

Bring back a revamped version of payload. You have unused maps that are varied enough to look beautiful with the current polish paladins is providing. You could even experiment with the map changing as the payload cart is pushed to reflect the progress the team is making, like a wall opens up but at an incline; now the attackers pushing the cart have a faster route to the cart, but the defenders have a new potentially stronger choke point as a result. Characters are important but relying on just the carts positioning to provide more difficulty to a team that's winning feels kinda neat at first, but becomes shallow quickly and it feels like in some games that it's not representative of your skill to lose a push just because of the spawn wall you face that you can't beat even in the final rounds.

Proper Community Control to prevent further Toxicity (like getting mad for doing fun builds instead of meta builds.) More diverse builds (hopefully S3 will be great) Advertising (Getting REALLY Annoyed by Fortnite's Ads... THERE EVERYWHERE!) Payload Minigames like a Seige of Acension Peak inspired mode. And of course Conquest Mode... the OG Seige... It was soo charming and with this System I wonder how it will work! The Imani Talent does sound interesting... but 2k damage?

As a designer, 3D modeler for games, beta tester, and gamer since 1988. I want to tell what i feel about Paladins. A lack of story driven World, characters mechanics are great and diverse, but I can't see a relation between heroes, a propose to be there. I dont know. For exemple, when you see Overwatch, you know the characters belong to that world, you can see the who is the bad guys, and the good ones. Even when they are mixed, they interact with each other, there's a story behind, you can tell it even if you dont know nothing about it, the story shape them. I miss that in Paladins. I'm sure the heroes has some background, but i dont fell it, see it in game. I remember to see a painel with some of the Overwatch Hero Designers and how they choose to have only 3 marks to show any of the folds in clothes of any character, so they will look from the same world. This kind of detail. I miss that in paladins. Gameplay wise, it is nice, but i fell it too much easy, you just cant miss a shot if you have good aim and in a inspired day, hit boxes are huge... When i play the game i dont feel challenged, and a neediness to be better. The NET code is not good. Even with 40~50ms of ping, some time i get a hit after corners, or kills when i shouldnt... Aim system is good, but not perfect. I feel some input lag, some acceleration, i dont know, some times i just cant flick shot. I love the game, but after some time it's too easy, and the same experience over and over... Great video!

One team is all about coding and mechanics. Those guys deal with bugs and whatnot. Then we have animators and design artists. Those guys make skins, create models, and rig said models. Artists do NOT work on squashing bugs. You wouldn't want them to. So there is ZERO reason for them to slow down on making new content. That would make their job at the company less useful. Hope this clears some things up.

With more than 1400 hours of gameplay in Steam, and close to 700 in-game experience, I just wanna comment that I always supported this game, by buying bundles, battle pass, vip points or whatever shit or good content comes out to buy, and even defend the game against my friends who play overwatch and telling them that it's not a lame copy, and there aren't the same game, but watching the vid here are my thoughts: I think that hi-rez should reconsider some champs like u said to be reworked and have a different function (like the Moji example), and most important I would REALLY prefer some patches with major bug fixes (maps, skills, the stupid zhin's bugged weapon to name a few) or balance to stop this braindead gameplays like the dredge "right click+reload= 2 kills" outta nowhere (it is really easy), or some technical patch to fix the lag on servers, like I play in the Brazilian one and even the pros that plays there stopped playing because of the consistent ping problem, fluctuating from 30 to 300 making impossible to play, and I have the same issue. Also say that the community prefers this kind of content to the game, and we know it takes a while to accomplish the polish of the game, but this company uses that time to put their creative employees to work rather than their tech ones, to repair things like I said, and that is a priority problem. I am sure that if the game starts being champion-balanced (and they stop changing things that are good and well), technically fluent (with no fps drop or with a stable ping in all servers) and with a few bugs the paladins community will grow A LOT, because these are the major problems. Stop with the skin-content and start with listening to the community.

[@chasethefuture]

All I want to see are more creative use of the talents especially since its being dim to 3. Alot of them are just straight up damage increases, Lex, Tyra, Viktor, etc.

[@daxjak1979]

I think if hi rez were to release Valera the leader of the paladins into the game she would be a champion that stuck. When people saw her in the paladins lore cinematic they really wanted her in game

[@ravenfanaticz1893]

BUT the question is : Why is there so much catching up to be done when the game is in full release ?

[@bloxxxium1805]

give moji a talent that will make her primary fire and alternate fire heal allies, that could be fun :)

[@bacillusanthracis69]

Another reason why Paladins not succeeding? Marketing. They have terrible marketing policy. A game's release is the biggest marketing time. And they did nothing. How they expect to succeed and gain new players/old players back? Warframe hit 100k player not just for the game is great (it is great), but they paid a lot of twitch streamers to stream for like 2-3 days. Paladins need to make a huge update once (positive) and market like that (obviously after fixing the bugs xD )

[@Turbowing.]

Raynday pls tell about the how to play champions which gets nerfed .I mean how to play the champion nerfed

[@adamrasmussen9939]

My biggest hope for crossplay is to alleviate the queue times for ranked. I can do find a pub game in under a minute, but ranked is usually like a 10+ minute wait. Also, I love Warframe. I've drifted away in the last 2 years, but even then, DE knew they had something, and were fully committed to the content flow. Very community oriented dev team who streams every week just to provide updates on contnet. Steve and Rachel over there are super dedicated to the game, even starting their own confrenece, Tennocon, near here, in London, Ont. I kind of wish that Realm Royale never broke away from Paladins, it kind of needed it, tbh, but I almost missed it completely. Warframes strength has always been the PvE, and a low tolerance for toxicity among the player base itself. Those partly a failing of the devs, though. The game was so convoluted at launch, but still so good, that those who did commit to learning the game, also committed to teaching new players the ropes. A solid PvE mode might help accomplish reaching a broader audience, since there is a fair bit to learn in Paladins, a lower pressure hordemode with some boss enemies sprinkled throughout might, while still being high pressure, be more welcoming to the new/casual player who is curious about the game, but too intimidated to jump in by themselves.

[@lukehemmings1949]

Ive played overwatch since launch but want something new, is this the game I pick up?

[@funkyrealcat2054]

the upcoming balancing changes are great but i definitively do not like the idea of crossplay for consoles and PC, i'm fine with crossplay for just the consoles tough...

[@jonathantam1436]

I wish they polished and hopefully I think they should bring payload back. I got into the game when payload was here and I loved the huge maps and stuff. I still love this game but there's so many bugs that need to be fixed and champions that need to be balanced and maybe talents that need rework.

[@snowgrass210]

Another well done commentary Raynday as always.

[@carlosgutierrez3918]

I advice everyone to check Out Helvians rant on Paladins. Its good to hear and it brings up some good points about what the priority of the development team should be

[@kenncansino9513]

Idea #1: They should add a story mode/campaign/coop to expand the lore every 3 or 6 months. I know they've been similarly doing it since ascension peak, but it doesn't feel linear, we need a protagonist, or we need to see it through a character's perspective, and we need to start it at the beginning, maybe before the war? I vote ying or nessa lol Idea #2: Add a Small open world main menu, each player gets to use/choose their main champion and respective skin, they can walk around a small town in the realm, they should go to the arena for gameplay, go to a house for shopping, go to your home to practice or customize, visit an engineer for options.. etc.

[@rimanova5441]

I know some people already talked about this, but I really hope they can make the matchmaking better in this game. I'm literally getting sick from losing all of my matches because of new players. Every player should be playing with other players their skill. I also hope Hi-Rez could do something about Pip. He was supposed to be a supporter and yet people are playing with him like he's a flanker. Idk but that's just how I think.

[@nahush6299]

If moji becomes a supp make pip a flank Kappa

[@mohamudalappar9093]

He can't flank for shit

[@noamsiebert5056]

I really think that we will need either more bans or an active champion roster that rotates every so often once the champion pool hits a certain size, just from a balace pov. Also maybe flank class should be merged with dmg and instead a sort of specialist class introduced, there you could put the champs that perform well but not in a way that's normal for their class like pip, torv, grohk or ash. I think rainday even had this idea sometime in the past already.

[@TheChudMuffin]

I think it's interesting your talking about Warframe because I spend most of my time playing Warframe and Paladins on my Switch and I already see Paladins becoming the Warframe of hero shooters.

[@wrldE]

What you have to keep in mind though is that there's hardly any champions in the game atm that have multiple viable talents there's a couple of champs that have a variety of viable talents but most of the talents aren't even usable hopefully that gets fixed it would make the game insanely fun

[@JA-ug7wq]

Rather than force Moji onto the support class (I mean why should they get punished?), They should make Moji a tutorial character. Like make a basic tutorial that introduces you to the game, and you play as Moji. Then after you get out of the bot matches, she could appear in tool tips or something. She doesn't fit into Paladins' neither the design, nor the game play, and she never did. Either that or accept that she's a no-skill-needed flank for little kids to play as, and when people end up inevitably complaining that you can't go very far with Moji, well no s*** you're playing the tutorial character. Grow up and pick a real Champion that's not a stuffed animal.

[@BGPlayzGames]

When will she be released?

[@ib2849]

Mid january

[@carynelird5444]

I'm very happy you mentioned warframe for a role model, because really, I think that warframe is a very cool game with cool members. I think, paladins will actually live long if they are following how warframe grew.

[@shut-inneet9636]

Nice way of thinking. Yes a champion of paladins seems what we need. People who Dont know anything about pokemon do know what pikachu looks like for example. Imani has a great concept and we kinda need someone as the face for paladins.

[@atlucas1321]

Here's an idea people arent thinking of, in the beginning ray was talking about mirroring a game that's survived the test of time. How about instead of mirroring warframe (btw is a great game) maybe start trying to be more like tf2 again like they claimed when paladins first came out. Team fortress 2 has more than point and click skill, map knowledge, roll outs and hit or miss mechanics. I'd really love to see roll outs mean something in paladins, just look at 1 video of a roll out guide on tf2 and you'll see what I mean. Maybe in the new patches have the new maps have little paths you can take while on horse that give you a little advantage over people who dont know the roll out yet, things like high ground or flank routs or even just first to mid without buying horse upgrade first. 1 map brightmarsh does already have this because you can get on top of mid as any hero and that gives a huge benefit to the players understanding these paths. The problem is it ABSOLUTLY needs to only work while on horse, to give every player the ability to learn these little advantages that can over all change the outcome of the game. (If you dont know what I'm talking about on bright marsh look it up there's a little ledge you can jump off of to get to high ground as ANY champion.) [Edit] I really hope someone higher up can see this, team fortress 2 is an 11 year old game still hitting top 5 of most played games on steam and that has to do with its insanely high skill ceiling and low skill floor, meaning anyone can pick it up but you're never going to stop getting better there's always something you can learn from someone else in that game. (I know this is kinda biased considering I have 4k+ hours in the game but dont we want people to spend that amount of time in paladins?)

[@shootdasmm]

Honestly to me what makes Paladins so special and actually worth playing is the fact that each charter is dynamic, all of them have customizable load-outs and various ways to be played. Im not locked into one play-style per character, and to me this is awesome, because most similar games dont have this option. Now my number one problem I have with the game is the crashing (I play on Switch) there is nothing worse then starting a ranked match and bam, closes. Honestly it happens 1-3 times for every hour of play, and at this point Im ready to play Super Smash till it gets fixed. My next complaint is the bots... basically you lose because you get a bot, enough said. Other than that I am looking forward to the new characters, it keeps the game fresh.

[@cringyxd9550]

Can we switch characters when we’re in the middle of the game like over watch

[@yone3040]

nice tyra skin pic THOOO

[@insult9233]

Is it just me or does ranked 3 bans on each side so it isn’t the same 4 always banned at least on console that is.

[@yashsarda2263]

The reason why Frontlines and Supports should be less in number than DPS champs is not only because people play them less, it's because a new Frontline shifts the meta so much more heavily than say a new damage. Addition of Khan for example. Frontlines are probably the most important class in high level comp or pro games. Also imagine that with 1.9 Furia's Kindle Soul is buffed again. You now have 3 viable top healers so the either teams are gonna get at least two of them. With such strong supports and supposedly newer and viable frontlines we'll have a 3 Tank, 1 DPS, 1Support comp in no time and if the tanks don't die it'll be a nightmare. Imagine having to deal with a team of Makoa, Inara and Ash/Ruckus who are constantly well sustained. Like I said, nightmare.

[@marcobozzo7619]

Better MatchMaking, Better HitBoxes, Less Bugs and Crushes and the thing that i think it's the most important : More Champions with the role that has less characters... More Healers tecnically and more Tanks

[@Zurui1150]

How about giving us TDM and Onslaught for ranked too? Only Siege is a bit tedious. In split categories of course. I would love to see more events like Dragons Call make a comeback or become a new mode. I'm looking forward to 2019!

[@jackmass4798]

Don’t add multiple items option in the same category. It would be a disaster. Raynday please tell the team this

[@paulhriir]

Agree

[@nathanmarshall7516]

Agree #2

[@arianatortothecore3844]

they will change things to make it kinda balanced

[@ashonline77]

@@arianatortothecore3844 it wont be a disaster because they are removing all the cards that give you value of an item. so no cc reduction, no caut, no wrecker or reveals in loadouts unless you buy it from the item shop. if they remove the cards and not let the players buy more than one item then it will be really bad. some champions would become really op over the others. like tanks having no cc reduction would end up creating a meta where all champions that can stun becomes too strong. this way tanks can get resilience and haven or blast shield for defense.

[@keplen3073]

i'm pretty sure they also said that buying items in the same category would be much more expensive, to make it balanced
