Can you get withchuntess skin for bow girl from chest?

>reflect your damage
>unload my revolver in your face
>teleport away

Nothin personel, kid...

Why do I get so many people level 10+ who dont buy items

He was nerfed that's why he's so shit right now ;_;

I think Preparation would be a better choice than Pollute

I just switched it, if it stabilizes I will try it, but servers are all fucky atm

Just play Fernando and follow her around. Your flamespitter makes tracking her easy and she can't 1v1 you. As long as you keep her and her team busy your team will be win because it's effectively a 5v4 if the enemy Skye can't assassinate anyone.

>see the bomb icon
>enemy team have skye
>I'm the only player alive on my teram now

Unless they are running Poison Bolts build, then she ticks 30% of your hp every 5s

>Try out Bomb King
Good fucking lord where is the damage?

Also is the game laggy for anyone else? I find myself teleporting everywhere.

How the fuck am I supposed to carry a game as tank if I have a fucking skye, victor, cassie, kinessa team?

None of them can push objectives and they all stand a million miles away "sniping"

Your team is just trash
I spend the entire game killing theyr dmg from invis

thats exactly what happens to my team. I'm 1v1'ing their tank and healer and my team just dissapears cause none of them are together and all of them suck 1v1 vs the enemy skye

>get behind u
>murder u

Nothing personel, kid...

>people who pick Barik
He's just...so bad. He can't frontline and he can't do damage. Why did they have to make the TF2 skin for Barik instead of a more important frontliner?

WHY THE FUCK WON'T ANYONE GO AFTER THE OBJECTIVE

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this

...

I HAVE THE SAME FUCKING ISSUE REEEEE

>People will claim Skye doesn't need a nerf

She is a flank, not a DPS jesus

>Give Windranger tits

Nice art design choice, Valve! That'll definitely sell some cosmetics.

I need a new tank to play. Fernando is practically useless without a team

Who would be the best tank for fucking up the objective solo while my team fucks around doing nothing

From what I've seen, the dwarf is the best frontliner. Also, the turtle sucks dick.

Ramwinhog.

>first 15 games
>13 wins
That purple thing is broken

If you play enough Ranked Games on a Champion you will receive a rating for them along with an accompanying border.

The Ranks + Borders seem to be extremely buggy right now. I haven't touched Ranked yet but I somehow have random champion ranks on random champions and it rotates whenever I relog.

No. The only skins you can get from Chests are ones that can be bought with Gold. Crystals only skins can't come from chests.

>Also, the turtle sucks dick
You better not be talking shit about Makoa.

>Grover sonic-ing around the map with fucking Fatalis and Adrenaline Boost
>Pip having a poison cloud dealing 500 damage a tick, firing it out every 4 seconds
>Eve/Sky oneshotting most of the cast
>Barik being completely overpowered in every single iteration of the Alpha
>Buck using Stomping Ground 4+Buckshot to leap up and onto anyone, dealing 4k damage in half a second
>Ruckus used to be able to hover across the map and obliterate anyone in melee range with Dual Fire, now its some tiny dash
>Fernando was completely unkillable but dealt 0 damage, leading to Fernando vs Fernando on the point every game, as both teams assassin's dicked around the point
>Health Drops are just gone now
>Seige and Defend is just gone now, no giant cannon anywhere to be found
Alpha wasn't balanced, but it was still fun here and there.

Who's currently overpowered while I try to sink my teeth into the newest version? Haven't played in a couple months and I haven't touched anyone post Ying, who's conspicuously missing?

>tfw I'm forced to play skye because skye players are trash and we will lose if I let it free

Skye
Evie
Viktor
Skye

Makoa's so fucking satisfying to play.

Build?

What burn cards/items should I be focusing on early?

Do I get all of them or level up a few of them?

Which burn cards aren't worth it?

Lews where

Depends entirely on what you're playing and what you're up against. A champion that relies on ability spam absolutely needs to rush the Chronos card, while a Skye on the other hand may focus on Nimble so she can get more out of her stealth.

There's also niche circumstances where the other team just goes all direct damage or something than EVERYONE should rush the direct damage reduction card.

The most useless card has got to be the one that reveals stealthed enemies. Only really good if your team is getting raped by a Skye.

>Evie's projectile speed
How the hell is she supposed to serve as a flanker with such a slow firing weapon?

>enemy trying to barricade the last meters
>sky bomb the 5 of them

She's the most maneuverable and fastest character in the game. She has no trouble getting behind anybody she wants and shoving her staff up their ass before firing.

Or just lead shots for satisfying long range kills.

>hear the audio queue for skye's ult
>dodge roll away
>keep running
>it explodes 2 seconds later on the other side of a wall
>still hits somehow hits me

By it taking out 2/3 of someones hp when it hits.
You're supposed to zip into their face, fire 2 point blank shots and zip away.

>Enemy team has multiple Shields or Healers
>Nobody gets Wrecker or Cauterize

i'm new on this game and I'm still not too sure about my 5th card, the lifesteal and the regen barely do anything with only 1-2 points and the rest of the cards seem useless.

B-but muh 5% damage!

>All these faggots picking barik and not trying to take objectives

HES A FRONT LINER

CONVINCE ME NOT TO BUY GROHK WITH MY FIRST 5000

He's pretty badass. Go ahead, I haven't seen what he was like before CB33; and people are crying he got nerfed but he still seems viable as a healer and does OKAY dmg.

>Bought the founders pack months ago
>Return to the game today with a billion gold and all the heroes, letting me just buy every card in the game and still have some left over
I knew my wasteful lifestyle would payoff. Time for a million games as Ruckas.

>got against a weeb premade all using sama + name
>destroy them
>mfw

>on the obj with makoa
>not standing in the middle of their team so im not tanking
>ghronk that never heals talking shit

I can't aim worth shit and I always get caught off guard by flankers

Who do I play?

Fernando
Ruckus

Native orc thunder wielder? good shit

Aggression was a mistake

>pick skye
>carry the world
>get a skye player
>4 kills 21 deaths

>Playing as a ruckus on enchanted forest
>Enemy cassie is just pelting me with arrows from the top
>can't shoot her cause she's too far away
>Allies proceed to pelt at fernandos shield while I get whittled down by enemy dps
>Ally skye runs right next to me at fernando shooting his shield
>She walks behind his shield and dies

Why do i even play this fucking game anymore

what happened to pudges cleaver? I just noticed he has some wierd blade on a stick instead of his cleaver? Whats that all about?

There are a lot of retards trying out the game and overloading the server right now. This means you either get matched with idiots or you can't play at all.

Same shit happened here.

Made the game so much better for myself, I blessed myself without knowing it.

>tfw I had buyers remorse before they fully-updated the whole game

Shock Pulse used to make your Primary Fire against targets hit by Shock Pulse arc to other targets affected by it. So if you hit a person with Shock Pulse and it bounced to 2 other people your primary fire would hit three people at once. This made Grohk very good at making people spread out and it made him counter Barik and Ying since the Shock Pulse could affect Turrets and Illusions.

His totem also used to have a shitty hitbox making it harder to destroy. Now you can easily destroy it before it does any significant healing.

His ultimate used to be way more stronger. His new ultimate feels like joke compared to the old one.

>Not buying Wrecker and destroying Fernando's Shield for your team

Ruckus with Wrecker is one of Fernando's biggest counters.

Is lvl 5 the max lvl mastery?

Same guy you responded to, sounds like he was OP. I like the idea of him making people spread out, but with Ying taken out; his old style doesn't suit as well.

Holy shit guys... I just purchased Wrecker and got it to lvl 3 during my last game as Cassie.

I was taking out the enemy Barik shields shield in about 2 shots with teammates helping peck away at it.

Goddamn...

25.

the one that ruins deployables is crazy.
Makes the take down times on them incredibly short then it already is.

For Barik at least the shield can protect them but for Ying I assumed it made her illusions even more fragile.

It keeps happening

Guys what burn cards do I start with on a DPS like viktor?

I really like getting stuff like Wrecker and just melting shields, but I also mostly get anti healing...

I think I'm doing something wrong though

It did. There was no point in playing clone spam Ying because you lose the duplicates in seconds to anyone with deployables.

I didn't do it anyway, I was that asshole spamming 700 damage yingbombs that refreshed themselves.

Ying is coming back next patch

SKYE IS FUN

kys

Who's next from Ying? also fuck Skye's ultimate, wasn't even near that shit and everybody dies, even her allies

She is, her ult just need some tuning to make it more balanced.

My go-to cards for DPS classes like Viktor are:
- Heal per hit (helps with his high-rate of fire)
- 5% more dmg per hit (same reason as above)
- Anti-heal (same reason as above)

The rest is just what you like, such as armor and stuff.

+5% damage AND anti-heal? can you pick 2 from the red ones?

>Hand Drogoz some flight speed and buy nimble
>Suddenly feels fantastic to use and kills are much easier to get

>not taking the increased reload speed for the 4x50 bonus damage on the first 4 shots of your mag

I prefer reload speed because of what this user said

How do you counter Evie?

You can't.

Buck is really fucking obnoxious to deal with as Evie due to his abilities and the fact that you can't quickly burst him down.

Just tabing the game

Any other giveaways besides:

mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/768/Paladins-Free-Cassie-Skin-Key-Giveaway.html

going on?

m-maybe this one wont die due t-to the game being open beta now, r-right?

>they give me a region option
>when they will match me in another server anyway

Why? The overlay won't even tell my ping at the character screen so I can pick accordingly.

>Kinessa
Not surprised

Cassie's the best character right about now. Huge damage, good escape, anti healing and a knock back for last second objective trolling

>kinessa instalock
>bomb shit
>no tank
I know the game is over even before start

Yeah, until they reset the card system yet again and then you have to buy them all over again.

>Playing as viktor
>Purchase the Grenadier card
>Grenade CD is practically 0

How is this fair?
