1st for woohoo!

I watched that happen to someone

I got stuck like this too once.

I hate to say this, but out of all champions he feels like a "chinese knock-off" of pharah the most.

He's fun but extremely clunky to use.

How do I build Makoa?

>temple isle
>double the average match time
>goes to max points every time
>no one can cap because the map is too big with retarded chokepoints

Fuck these large maps. They're only good for sniping.

What if Hirez removed the launcher part and turned him into a fireball shooting from his hand lizard who spits out explosive flammable loogies?

So about Ying, is she actually being reworked into a healer?
>A new age of healslut memery is upon us

Yes, check out her abilities on Paladins site. She still have the same abilities but now they heal allies instead of damage enemies(except for her left click).

hey at least it isn't hanamura

That's worth two peace signs.
her taunt needs to be her doing a peace sign with her toungue sticking out silly.

I don't have a problem with him shooting rockets, I have a problem with his jetpack feeling meh, and his ult being buggy.

Ying x who is the OTP?

Barik. Ying thinks he's adorable.

This is the best Pip build.
I would use Gift giver instead of medical excellence, but it's kinda useless unless you max it, and I want a max Reload because throwing down heal 2 times in a row when you're pushing is insane.
Side tanks maxed is a must.

woohoo!
Awesome!

>someone made a thread about the game leaving a background program running even when the game is closed and he said it also boots up with the system
>the thread is deleted before I could make a reply

not fishy at all now, low rez

YOU WON'T BE DATAMINING ME!!

I'll be jacking that build and giving it a try later.

Aside: The "Import" button while deck-building is super-handy. You just enter the name of the person who has the deck you want, and you can scroll through their builds and take it for yourself instead of manually building it.

do the matches played to get the barik skin need to be pvp?

Yeah, I really like the feature.
\it's super helpful since there are leaderboards for every individual champion in the profile tab.

Yep.

Can someone explain what do this borders mean?

Those borders represent your competitive rank with that character. Paladins handles ranked on a per-character basis, not an account-wide basis. Unfortunately, it's all bugged right now, so the borders will appear randomized and don't mean anything right now. If your picture was accurate, it would mean that you have a gold Grover, a gold Bomb King, a (I think) platinum Grohk, a platinum Drogoz, a platinum Skye, and a diamond Buck, while everyone else (except Androxus) is unranked.

Heh, you're right.
It's running in the background but it's not doing anything until you start the launcher.
I'd say it's a shitty anti-chit thing and the "update" part in the name is just for show, since the launcher handles the updates.

Just turn it off.

Your rank with that champion.
It's currently bugged.

>It's a teammates never buy items episode.

Can't HiRez make a BIGASS text telling people to buy items? make it not disappear until they actually buy an item. And make it pop up every new round.

>start playing yesterday with a friend
>10 games in probably an hour
>win all of them
>get people with borders on their portraits
>some dwarf on the opposing team wins the game on his own
Is this standard?
My team was absolutely retarded they kept shooting at the shield, he was alone on the point all the time. I was playing Skye, keeping their squishies back.

Preferably something large, green, and or/non-human.

Guess I'll enjoy that then. At least Ying is built for it, being a double peace flashing elf with underboob.

>Fernando/Barik/Ruckus on the enemy team
>I'm the only person who buys the shieldbreaker
>And I'm Androxus

See . You can ignore ranked borders right now, since shit's bugged.

>using McAfee

dude

Thanks.

Lewd.

It literally shows it's not turned on.
I forgot to un-tick it when I was installing flash, s m h.

I just tell them to buy items.
Communication yo.

My biggest problem with the game right now is that the lobby in the champion pick screen is AUTO CLOSED.
WHY?
No one ever bothers to open it.
How do I tell the autistic insta lock kinessa that we have no front line?

Your first games until level 5 are versus bots.
You saw a player that knew what to do.

> I just tell them to buy items.
I did too. Multiple times even, but they just don't listen.

People don't even go for the cap either, they think they're playing deathmatch. Don't think I've ever seen such retarded teammates in a game before.

I got it while I was playing just bot matches and then opened a chest after having 5 or more wins. But apparently it can be buggy and bot matches won't count for everyone.

>Your first games until level 5 are versus bots.
So that's why they didn't appear in the match history

It would improve general gameplay immensely if retards did just 2 VERY SIMPLE things a bit better or more often (every time would be great):

1. do objectives when you can
2. fucking buy upgrades/items

I think everyone below level 5 should be constantly reminded by the game to do that shit. Like big fucking text on their screen telling them they should focus on staying on or near the objective as much as possible. Or telling them to buy shit when they have nothing.

I'm a Ying main.

I am not pleased that my illusory trickster slut of many explosions and lasers is being turned into a fucking healer.

If they wanted to make a dedicated healer, couldn't they have just made a new fucking character?

DOUBLE
PEACE
SIGN

I guess I can still at least fall for the healslut meme or something

Check the animation on Barik's Engineer skin weapon. That's some quality shit to use the same animation as default, low rez.

does she have a good voice? I don't want her to be ruined by a shit voice that's either not fitting or too fucking peppy or flowery or hippie and shit

She looks fun as fuck, when is she getting changed into a support?

she should be back next patch(next week maybe)

...

>join casual game
>someone picks a support at least
>but they change it
>pretty much forced to play frontliner yet again
>enemy team has a tank and a healer and they have better mastery levels too
>4 retarded camping DD shitters on my team
>they're all camping while the other team quickly stacks 3 players on the cap point
>massive lag hits really early
>game gives notice and closes automatically and gives no deserter status

saved by a shitty connection I guess

I wish I could quit before a match with a smaller penalty to avoid an obvious loss but no they want me to suffer unless I want a temp ban

do the time bans stack and is there a limit? I'd rather just wait 15 minutes than suffer for 10-15 minutes

Damage Ying was crazy hard to learn, probably one of the most difficult characters to master. Making her into a support takes a lot more pressure off of her. Plus, changing Ying into a support now evens out all the classes. We will have 4 tanks, 4 supports, 4 flanks, and 5 damage.

Ying is rather soft-spoken and is a real "power of friendship" type of person.

power of dickings

Is the frost mage good?
I almost got 5k gold, thinking of buying her.

I liked her, she's cute and a bit self concious

I hope she will become a mai waifu character for me.

I loves me some elves. And she's a cute one.

Serious question, what's the deal with this game and overwatch? How are they related?

OW sells so they decided to clone it.

so why is anyone playing the knockoff? Did they do anything to differentiate it?

Yea, they made it free.

She's fast and fun, but squishy and hard to learn.

paladins is free, is generally faster(in movement and match time), and has some character customization through cards

Tf2 guy here, really fun game and a hell of a switch up compared to tf. Pretty easy to start and the extra 'powers' keep things interesting, though not always for the better. I'll be playing until Overwatch inevitably goes ftp in about a year or two.

Is there a guide for all the free shit you can get in this game, promotional items and shit.

>Overwatch inevitably goes ftp in about a year or two.

hahahahahahahahaha ohohohohohohohohoho

most of it is on the paladins page, I missed some giveaways (at least 3) since they were gone before I started playing so you won't be getting those either

heres what I said before

paladins currently has a few things that overwatch doesn't:
elves of varying degrees of lewdness (no elves are pure though, due to being elves)
various other fantasy races
a stealth character
no genji (yet)
no mcree (no, mc reaper doesn't count since he's nowhere near as broke as mcree)
less wasted space on maps
a more fanatsy themed asthetic
currently there isnt really any hero who dosent have a get out of jail ability
and a few others
Don't forget the card system and items.
Also, no hero switching. So it feels more like a MOBA(for better or for worse).

>Overwatch inevitably goes ftp in about a year or two.
Get in line right next to "WoW is going to be ftp this year!" crowd.

implying it isn't

I hope you didn't already made plans user.

Anyone playing right now and want a farming/grinding partner? ign;eschew

>it's another nobody goes for the objective episode

>tfw 10+ games
>tfw never lost a battle
>tfw casual
>tfw randomly picked teammates are always professional and stick to objectives

I consider myself lucky

...

hng

No, you can tell by their nicknames, also you can add them to friends, so they aren't bots.

How long till some sfm to fap to

>fapping to pictures
Use your imagination pleb

if you've only played less than 20 games then you've been playing against bots the whole time

>topkek and wish you best of luck for future

I already said that after match you can add players from enemy team to friends, you can't do this with bots. Where did you take this bullshit about 20 games? I had only 2 or 3 games with bots in the beginning.

Also like this guy said all games are in my history so they are legit

Because until level 5 you play only against bots even if you pick casual, tard.

He already said that he can add/report them. That means those are not bots.

Are you dumb or are you just pretending to be?

I'am level 7 and have two heroes with level 5.

Then you have 20+ matches played, you lying inconsistent son of a bitch.

you are actually dumb

...

10+ matches in and you are still guaranteed to be playing against bots because you will be under level 5. Noose yourself, retard.

Posting garbage ancient MS paint comics won't make you any less stupid, user-kun :3

Not sure if I want to get invested in this game. It has potential but I'm getting a strong Battleborn vibe from it. I spent 400 hours playing Battleborn and it's fucking dead. I don't want to go through that again.

He can add them/report them, those are not bots
How is this so hard to understand?

>All-time peak 12k

>I don't want to spend my time playing video games
>plz no, i dont wanna go through that gameplay again and the fun

wtf bro, just like play game. it's not like you're a pro... i guess battleborn you had to buy though.

Why would you ever pick Evie when you could play Skye?

>400 hours playing Battleborn
at this stage your cancer is terminal, consider suicide.

>tfw got good with Grover's vine

Grover is pretty fun, too bad I heard he got nerfed recently in CB33.

Allright, someone explain to me why OW is better then Battleborn

inb4: no lewds

>getting Battleborn on PC
Come on now, there was no way it would survive for long on PC. The game is pretty dead, but it's slightly more bearable on console.

to hit lvl 4?

Because I haven't played Evie and she seems fun

youtube.com/watch?v=bozvLUp0f1o

See how long you can last through that and then you tell me.

>playing an fps on consoles

Found the most retarded person on Veeky Forums

I mean from gameplay perspective

I bought my first console to play Killzone 2, shit was cash.

A-anyone wanna form a Veeky Forums ragtag competitive group? We got a masterlist or anything yet?

But that does count as a gameplay perspective. You have to listen to that nonsense while you play, unless you want to turn your headphones off.

Also killing minions for a level advantage is lame

oh god. who thought this was a smart idea?

>Allright, someone explain to me why OW is better then Battleborn
I don't have to unlock characters after having paid for the game.
