>It's a "everybody is ranged and I have to stand on the point alone" episode

Why would I play tank? I already got a job during the day.

I finally had a match where aggression was the right choice. No tanks on the other team, their only healer was a Pip who wasn't healing much, and I wasn't someone who could reload.

Are there a lot of people who deselect payload when queuing? It almost never comes up for me.

Because deep down you know that everything will go to shit if you're not taking control of the situation.

Could have spent the credits on morale boost.

>Are there a lot of people who deselect payload when queuing
Everyone? its a shit mode with shit maps.

I just meant out of the red cards. My team seemed convinced there was a better red card to buy.

People are lazy, thought they might just leave it on because clicking it each time is work.

Yeah, but its even more annoying to have to go through a payload match.

IMO aggression should boost damage only when it isnt on its maximum, or reduce the falloff effect on it

example:
androxus deals 600 per shot
a bit further, and he deals 500 per shot
much, much further, and he deals 180 per shot (rough estimate i dont actually remember his damage)

if aggression had a 10%/20%/30% falloff reduction, those values would be different, slightly higher

i dont know what the values would be since i dont know the math behind damage multipliers, but it will be higher

it can work the same for explosions, increasing the damage on the outer area without increasing the max damage

it would give you the upper hand in a fight, but not directly like a straight up damage bonus, which cant be balanced easily

of course, some characters like cassie dont have damage fall off, which is balanced by the fact that she doesn't have any fucking fall off damage stupid cunt

also
>im the 4th ip

this place is really dead huh

PTS isn't even updated yet, so there's nothing much to talk about, especially Tyra Banks the Unhinged.

I feel like that would just encourage people to stay away from the point.

Pretty much everyone (maybe not Kinessa and Grover?) should have some falloff, though.

Drybear did post some tweets:
>2 new Skye changes this morning: Poison Bolts projectile size up by 100%, Ninja card now ADDS TO Hidden's MS rather than replacing it

>Skye's damage reveal threshold when stealth is not a % of her max HP, it is a flat 1200 and did not change in OB40

>We are aware of the daily login bonus issue and the team is working on a fix. We will do some makeup reparation for those that missed out.

So that's a little to talk about.

Oh, looks like PTS is up now.
forums.paladins.com/showthread.php?23334-0-40-PTS-issues-thread

still, the game is in a pretty shitty state right now
>drogoz got his mobility nerf and still shits out damage like theres no tomorrow, implying that hirez wants him to play with bubbles all day rather than be the unique damage/flanker he used to be
>wrecker is still fucking broken and anyone's shield can be taken out in like 2 shots
>none of the tanks are fun to play anymore
>ying's and grover's healing got nerfed to nearly nothing despite cauterize 3 existing in the game
>we are getting another viktor despite the game needing more supports and flanks

>>wrecker is still fucking broken and anyone's shield can be taken out in like 2 shots
>>none of the tanks are fun to play anymore
>>ying's and grover's healing got nerfed to nearly nothing despite cauterize 3 existing in the game

They're at least aware of these:
>We're looking at specifics around Aggression ... and Wrecker and Cauterize, and how that feels as a late-game healer ... We do want to look at Front Lines' positioning in season 1 ... and just have a healthier balance between Wrecker, shield health, tank health ... and amping up the card system, and how that has an impact on the gameplay, but also how you customize your character ...

This is fine.

>literally the size of the point
>does 90% health
jesus christ
chronos III shaves 5.4 seconds off the cooldown
I wonder if there will be a cooldown reducing card

>damages yourself
>only does around 40% compared to doing 90% to enemies
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

...

I haven't been playing in like, 3 weeks since i was getting into dota
Anything new? who is this ?
Female frontliner finally?

>better than any area denial ultimate
>on a 15 sec cooldown
Nice, I can't wait to BTFO tanks.

>90% damage over a huge area on a 9 second cooldown
jesus fucking dick

>none of the tanks are fun to play anymore
You don't find hooking people on Makoa fun?

This is fine too.

No

Huh, with that cooldown and self-damage, I'm not as afraid of it as I was before.

Is that with cards?

...

They should just send out a a tweet warning people to stop playing frontline now if they wanna keep enjoying the game.

Can't you just walk away from the fire?

>haha nigga just walk away from the fire
90% seems a bit over the top honestly.
How about 70-75%? Still too much or too little to be useful?

Also, I'm guessing it doesn't damage teammates?

>grohk's ult doesn't speed him up anymore

>grohk's totem doesnt heal shit anymore

I prefer Payload over Siege. I like the moving objective point. Keeps it more interesting than fighting over the exact same point in the middle all the time.

Skye's damage reveal threshold is when she dies, now? Great. We'll see her corpse.

>tfw liked playing orc of many healing
>"""fixed""" his healing without adjusting it to normal numbers
>ult is more risk than reward and still hasn't been fixed
>now hes nothing more but a mediocre damage dealer

just fuck my support up fa᠎m

>used all my goy crystals to buy the green man set

i dont even like this game anymore so i guess its okay

Primal Might 4, Napalm 4, Incensed 2, Hunting Season 1, Trail Blazer 1

Buy Cauterize.

Hunter's mark someone on the point, shoot them once, throw a bomb, run away, win?

How does that sound as a strategy? Gives you your movement back when you throw it, will probably get you a kill, help you run away and use the bomb again.

>run away

hah

>I used to play paladins with a bunch of friends
>Whenever i picked Grohk they bitched but i always was the mvp
>Now i can barely do anything and i lose the game for us everytime

I have finally found something worse than being blue

If it's not at least 100 good goy crystals, or a few nice chests, it's probably going to feel insufficient.
They're probably just going to give everyone a single 7-day Booster and call it even.

Tyra a qt

Would the speed boost not work for that?

>Napalm + Cauterize
>Hiroshima-size blast
>Probably negates shields
>Without buffing Ying's healing, STILL

New meta is pip's instant heal?

>Napalm reduces healing by 5% more

wait what
more?
whats the base healing reduction?

It's damage over time right? Would heaven even do something

Nothing to do once you get all the characters.
16 cards per character but you'll probably only find 1 build worth using.
Tanks were a mistake.
Very little depth, there's nothing to git gud at besides aiming.
New heroes basically just combine the kits of 2 other heroes.

Game is fun but gets stale fast, we're just waiting for new content and overhauls now.

>Pick tank, die on the point
>Don't pick tank, never touch the point

What have they been thinking up to now? Tanks are just a misbegotten role all around.

Does life rip work with kinessa sniper mode?

>Pick support
>Open up a small holiday resort on the point

You can have only 1 item from christmas chest, which one do you pick?
>Merrymaker for me

I opened one and scored the merrymaker hair.
I wanted the Makoa snowball cannon though.

I'm pretty sure Volatile and Tracker will be obligatory
Spam the molotov on the point and chase down anyone you mark

When will they fix the daily login bug, i want to open a chest so bad

What I wonder about this is: Will it damage teammates too? She's taking less damage due to her cards which is fair enough but that won't affect her teammates in the same way.

If it doesn't harm them at all then she is going to be straight up OP. %health damage that high along with a cauterize effect is just bullshit.

Alternatively, if it does affect them then she is going to be just frustrating to play on the same team as playing against her and will bring in a new meta of no frontliner, minimal support teams that play team deathmatch because going near the point is suicide.

I was hoping for a new frontliner character this patch. Instead we got a character that may ruin the role entirely.

>We are aware of the daily login bonus issue and the team is working on a fix. We will do some makeup reparation for those that missed out.

Geez, over 24h now and nothing has happened

>an average game
>worthy of taking a screenshot
>actually posting it too

Makeup reparation?

They'll say "Sorry" and think it will be enough

was hoping for some sweet crystals, 75 would be enough

Are golden cards in the game yet or not? Should i open my radiant chests or nay

>only have bk/barik/lin to get to level 5
>hate every one of them

What's your least fav in class:
>Ruckus
>Viktor
>Green flying man
>Buck

They're coming next patch I think so I wouldn't open them just yet if that's what you want.
Alternatively, the addition of more stuff will probably make it less likely for you to get taunts and poses.
Also, more things will likely be added in the future that you may or may not want to unlock.
So should you open it? idk

>classic cassie skins are recycled as rare skins

jew-rez strikes again

Get ready for some unpopular opinions. inb4 git gud in response to any of my explanations
>Cheeky Nando.
He was the first character I played and I like the idea of him but I have never really managed to master him and always feel like I have to rely too much on my teammates when I use him, at least much more than with other frontliners.
>Sha Lin
Besides his easily countered turretmode he is a shitty mixture of different characters and he manages to be worse than all of them.
>Ying
Like Nando, I could never really get the hang of her and feel that I am relying too much on my teammates when I play her. She also lacks the debuff utility of the other support characters and does relatively weak damage.
>Androxus
The fact that simply having better than average aim turns him from a trash tier character into an overpowered carry frustrates me. I also find him boring to play as compared to the other flankers.

>barik
>sha lin
>pip
>skye

STEALTH NERF

>who rekts you in each class?

Plan reply

>Maokai
>viktor
>damba
>none

Thats the only viable meta, keep on playing the bait and youll win.

It should.
Kill to heal is probably more worthwhile though (especially if you make use of your mines for easy assists and make your shots count) and neither are really that great considering that usually if you're taking anything more than minor chip damage as Kinessa it's because a flank is on top of you in which case you are dead anyway.

...

You should try to increase your killing ability, buy agression.

This is going live next patch?

it'll get nerfed to Mal Dambra levels of DoT. Mal Damnbro and her are going to be an annoying duo.

yes, remember to buy the timber skin now that you can

>cassie redesign
>change bow to crossbow
>thisisokay.jpg
>cover up her midriff

You crossed the line, High-Raise!

Of course it doesn't. Does Drogoz' spit do anything to his teammates? Does Bomb King do anything to his teammaates?

Great I hate being forced to play as frontline/support, now we can just have un with the game, player skill should be the main factor in a battle not tem composition, if you want bullshit holy trinity "strategy" go play WoW or something.

>Can't snipe for shit
>Just like spamming mines
>No cards to increase strength of non-snipe mode gun
Fuck this game

They really fucked Kinessa, her sniper mode should have been weaker and her carbine mode should have been stronger.

You are a fucking retard. They did the same thing with Buck, they gave the old skin for free to anyone who owned the character before the update.

wow drybear calm down

>need to buy Timber now to make sure it doesn't appear in a colossal chest later
Thanks for the heads up.

>THIS GAME WAS NOT PROPERLY AUTHENTICATED AT LAUNCH TIME

WHAT THE FUCK I KEEP GETTING THIS BULLSHIT

Why feminazis are so triggered for fictional characters?

Post the picture.

> wait for them to sell her open midriff skin for real money

it's been removed from group
>jew facebook cucks being scared of ban

According to this stupid bitch fictional characters have feelings lmao

>how would you feel if I posted a picture of your sister tied up in her room
Aroused.

Well i would obviously rape her if shes cute, duh

Buy Timber for gold while you still can

>it's 9500g
What Jewery is this

Is EAC still a thing or did it finally get patched out.

>They did the same thing with Buck, they gave the old skin for free to anyone who owned the character before the update.

Then why didn't it unlock for me?

EAC is and will continue to be a thing. Go play an ncsoft game if you want to use cheats.

I'm pretty sure the drawing wasn't meant to be something funny, but of course a feminazi from facebook will be too innocent to figure that out.
