I want to share Fernando's company!

You'd like to take trips with him?

Reposting question from last thread

How do haven/blast shields stack with damage reduction? Is it additive or is it added after that fact
Like if you have 10% damage resistance, haven 3, and take direct damage is the resistance 31% or is it 28.9%

>always end up playing the same four characters
I wish I knew how to play other characters but I'm too high a level/ elo now to try out all these level 0s without being completely stomped by people who already know what they're doing

I believe that damage resistance takes priority over items, but I might be wrong.

I'm still getting crystals for FWOTDs.
Is this because of Memorial Day or is this a bug?

Yeah, they decided to let it run through the holiday weekend.

Either start smurfing or go play payload with these characters to train.

This is Ying.
She is my wife.

Despite some user's insistence that she is his wife, this is nothing but falsehood, as in truth she is actually my loving wife. It is to be expected though, as she is undeniably the cutest and most adorable girl.

Make it Paladins related.

Why are generals full with RP faggots and waifu cringe? Its literally every general on Veeky Forums WHY?

I am so fucking tired of getting matched against full dps 5 stacks
Winning against randoms in this game is as easy as coordinating your damage on a single target at a time and it makes me more mad than anything else

I dont get into it too much myself. I just see it as ironic cancer that I laugh at

Because we don't want anyone else taking our waifu from us.

Should've said kinessa

good attempt

Don't you talk bad about Fernandoposter, they are pure and wonderful.
And they at least make effort to write a new thing every thread.

Autism. Still, it's pretty tame here for the most part. Only a couple of posts per threat.

sexually repressed people with ugly faces and poor communication skills doesn't mean their instinctual urges go away it just bottles them up until it can divert them somewhere else

>kinessa mains
>bad

If they main kinessa they're usually able to aim with them and know how to deal with being bullied all game. A good Kinessa can destroy.

lol

name a character with less counterplay than evie or skye

...

>tfw paladins will never have the superior VEW

hydra-media.cursecdn.com/smite.gamepedia.com/2/25/VOX_VGS_Emote_W.ogg

Excellent shitpost

>I buy Deft Hands on Maeve

I'll agree that evie has literally no counterplay other than downloading an aimbot and playing viktor, but skye is easy as shit to counter.

...

Any up-to-date tier-chart of the champions? What champions are the absolute best in their cathegory? What are the worst ones?

>grohk labeled "support"
>totem comes up every 10 seconds

nice """""""""""support""""""""""

>he doesn't have a waifu
>he doesn't make his love for her public
You don't belong here.

There was a treaty signed at the G7 summit. The terms require that all generals of Veeky Forums contain waifu cringe, with RP faggotry considered optional, but supported by most member nations.

I HAVE NO SKILL
I HAVE NO BRAIN
I AM A TORVALD MAIN

>supports can only be healsluts
no

hydra-media.cursecdn.com/paladins.gamepedia.com/7/7a/Fairy_SP_Death_1.ogg

*shitposts*

YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA?

skye is easy to counter on the team level and why she's a garbage character, but on the individual level she has a huge advantage against most of the cast
assuming you don't only ever play with some premade team of friends then most fights end up just becoming individual encounters

Thats how hero shooters work

not good ones

MAKAO

For higher skill matches, best in their category: Inara, Makoa, Seris, Mal'Damba, Drogoz, Bomb King, Androxus, Evie.
Worst: Torvald, Grover, Grohk, Willo until Thursday, Skye, Maeve (maybe Buck).

so how what's the secret to surpassing 24-2500 elos and getting to 3k? is it literally just consistency like having good framerates, never missing shots and always having perfect positioning?

Fortunately it's only in the first posts of a new thread

memestacks
duoing at the very least

buffer support WHEN?

excuse u

...

If you don't heal you aren't a support

Winter skin concept for Androxus.

Could be worse
Could be /owg/ or /ksg/

>OW has a support who doesn't heal
???

Damn Lex is so easy and fun

>kinessa main
>aim

I got to 3k always picking last and thus playing mainly tank or occasionaly support. A lot of people recommend instalocking damage or flank to carry your team but I believe it's better to let others pick what they're comfortable with and adjust to that.

don't be dissin' my nigga glacius like that

How long until the end of the day for the servers? I'm going to be late today and want 90 crystallized month old Drybear's cum.

I wish I were a Kinessa main
youtube.com/watch?v=kdqk6ntPER0

Usually 3-5 AM. EST.

And she's more of a defense character than a support. Everyone makes fun of her classification

makao not see

I love how Kinessa is basically CoDfag the character. Tacticool gear with cocky dudebro voice lines and can quickscope.

She's fun.

""""""""""""""""support""""""""""""""""""""""

>someone in your team picks grohk
>lose

Every single time.

>hydra-media.cursecdn.com/paladins.gamepedia.com/2/26/Flak_TR_Taunt_Directed_Fernando_1.ogg
How do we stop Fernando abuse?

There was a champion prototype datamined a while back called Bard/Astro, I think? They might be coming out after Darklord/Zhin and Rifle/Princess, so maybe late August at the earliest.

If you think that's quickscoping you should look at launch TF2 snipers. They've been hard nerfed for years.

Wow.

Evie is fucking retarded.

How is the balance in this game so shit?

>buck total damage increased to 600
>ensnare cripples and bonus damage increased to 50%
>rejuvenation grants immunity to healing reduction but only for self healing.

Hi-rez PLEASE.

Just like most other team-based games, the game is balanced around low level play
Evie requires some skill to play effectively, so she sucks at low level, so she never gets nerfed because devs think she doesn't need nerfs

I just want a good Seris skin...

What do you think is OP about her?

So I heard you guys like quickscoping!

We make him hang around good people that appreciate him.
hydra-media.cursecdn.com/paladins.gamepedia.com/f/fe/MalDamba_TR_Taunt_Directed_Fernando_2.ogg

A good evie literally does not die
She has so many "oh shit I fucked up time to get out now" abilities it's ridiculous
It wasn't even that bad before but now everyone uses reprieve and it's absolute cancer, literally just "oh you outskilled me, lemme just heal to full and run away" the card

She's fun, but when I play her the other team ends up being 5 flanks.

give thou' childeth, porneth of Fernando

Circa CBT, back when we had doors and Pip had goo.

Yep, it's pretty broken. Most of the time it saves a few seconds off of respawning for her, and that's it. It's not fun to play against and it's not too much fun to play as. Not broken enough to be totally gamebreaking, just enough to be annoying.

Why can't they just make a smart auto-buy?

desu if they remove her immunity to effects while frozen it'd be fine, no idea why they changed it
just let someone with cauterize keep shooting her while she's frozen so she can't regen full health guaranteed whenever she fucking wants hirez it's not hard

I hate waifufags.

Have fun

I played Reprieve Evie today and enemy Pip ulted me while I was in iceblock and I turned into an invincible chicken that couldn't move.
Hi-rez' bugs are reaching Bethesda's levels.

>Reprieve no longer heals you during ice block
>Reprieve now allows you to cast blink while inside of ice block

So the legendary still serves the same purpose of letting her play on the aggressive side and still have an "oops" button, but if she is comically overextended or doesn't blink correctly then she still gets dunked.

The Legendary cards in general made the game less fun.

>no one on my team is killing anything
>all the dmg and flank blame each other
>cassie starts speaking in hue
>she was the lowest score on the team and complained constantly about heals
like fucking clockwork

Or more specifically, the game is balanced based off of global win rates. And since the vast majority of Paladins games are casual siege matches being played by sub 1.5k elo mouthbreathers, that's the demographic the champions are balanced for.

This is why characters like Grover and Ying get so little love from Hi-Rez: a person who has absolutely no idea what they're doing can still contribute to the team, despite the fact that these champions are blatantly sub-optimal in higher level play. It's also why champs like Andro/Drogoz/Evie are allowed to be so inordinately powerful in the right hands: the mere fact that you have to aim well to succeed with them means huge swathes of people consistently do terribly and lose games when they play them.

Don't ask me about Buck though, that shit's a mystery.

> Play Skye
> Win games

So that's the secret for getting to 2k

Would you say that you became an ice bock?

>have to take deserter so I don't get forced again a meme stack with the same retards on my team back to back

Can't wait for ranked to not be shit because playing during prime time just sucks but I've been sleeping like a normal person so I can't get the fun late night games.

Remember that time people thought the male archer would be Cassie's father?

how do you show fps and ping?

f9

They handled it in the worst way possible
>characters with fun, complete kits had their abilities stripped and stuck onto mutually exclusive legendaries that force you to play one gimmick all match
>other characters literally just got "lol you do 300% more damage"

global winrates include coop vs AI which are probably a majority of total matches. So Grover, Tyra, Fernando etc have inflated winrates whereas characters like Androxus are exclusively played vs other people.

Fuck if I know about Buck though since he isn't f2p.

user, please.

The secret for getting past that is:
>don't play skye
>win games
