I want to ride on Fernando's shoulders!

I want to kill Fernando with Drogoz's ult

This is Ying.
She is my wife.

Today I am not late to the new thread, so I can proclaim my love for her even earlier, for she is the most charming and flawless girl there is!

user you are a masterful opponent, this clever gambit has caught me completely off guard.
That was the only picture I had saved for emergency situations like this. I never expected to need 2 pictures of butts.
You have bested me, truly I am a huge fag.

How to fix Kinessa:
- Fix this game's dogshit hitboxes where if you shoot their head it's a bodyshot.
- Fix the shitty servers that contribute to this issue.

>warframe isn't bad, you just haven't played enough to adquire the taste

I can't even make fun of you, this is more horrifying than anything else. I can only hope i'll never become this self deluded with anything.

He's right though, it starts up slow but is fun with stronger weapons. Only issue is there's no real "ending" to it beyond having everything you want. It's essentially a sandbox game that's slowly getting story elements added via updates.

t. 1k hours with founder pack and tons of shit without buying plat beyond that.

>2017
>still no smug, classy vampire champion that treats blood as wine and is quite the connoisseur and the greatest sommelier
And we get instead, a **ahem** "badass" fully armored lady with, and make no mistake about it old sport, pink hair.
Honestly...

I say ... I shall bring meself a bottle of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti (1990) in order to drink and ponder over this sort of conundrum.

>barely touched the game
>think he has a concrete argument with any sort of base that hasn't be refuted

Yeah, Paladins is a chinese carbon copy of OW with a needless grind forcefully added into the game because the devs are trying to milk whatever teat remains in this rotten cow.

Oh, wait...

Go play Overwatch if you want critboxes as big as hitboxes.

>go into shooting range
>shoot the air next to someone's head
>it sounds as a bodyshot rather than a headshot even though it's closer to the head than the actual body
>this is perfectly fine

I don't mind the hitboxes being horribly inaccurate, but at least make it so that the head hitbox isn't a tiny dot surrounded by bodyshot triggers.

I don't know how people can handle playing anything but frontliner in this game.

No matter how bad the odds are or how badly it seems like you're going to lose, you can still rally it into a win.

You can hold every point into a draw, figure out which dudes are most dangerous and how they play, and then just when they think it's an easy win and start playing dangerous a fucking Inara or Ruckus comes out of nowhere and sits on their faces.

Even if your team has subhuman IQs, you can usually stall the match long enough to prepare the monkeys for one trick to win the final point.

Veeky Forums is literally a hole for whiners

>>shoot the air next to someone's head
>unironically believe this should be a critshot

As I say, go play Overwatch.

>3-0
>someone disconnects
>lose

yay

It shouldn't be either, but if it's going to be there it should be a crit shot rather than a bodyshot so that there aren't crit-absorbing pillows blocking their fucking head.

This was about the horrifying grind and the ageless bugs, not about the game being fun or not. denying either problem, specially with a "you'll get used to it" is bad. very bad.

I wouldn't call 300 hours barely touching it.

And you really don't know how to make clever replies.

>just 300 hours

seris summer skin

Ash is so much fun to play, do you guys enjoy playing/fighting against her?

Anyone want to play

play what?

Twister.

Where you at

no thanks

This is the only example I could trigger of headshots being denied, but the problem obviously comes from the shield hitbox rather than crit-absorbing airbags.

Monopoly?

Will Pip have a Summer skin?

Fuck off furfag.

>wanting wet fur stank in your matches

Fernando in a bikini WHEN?

This is fine to you?

Will Fernando have a Summer skin?

Nah. He'll probably have a winter skin, though.

I started playing competitive only recently -- why does everyone want to have two frontlines in the team?

Literally yes.

Because they still think it's the meta

>new to paladins

Got enough gold buy my first flank, not sure who to pick. I'm not interested in Buck or Maeve, leaning toward Lex because I think his kit is fun but I'm afraid he won't be as practical as Androxus?

feed me information on this issue. i greatly appreciate it

Mankini Fernando or bust.

You want that crit damage you hit the literal head, this isn't that complicated.

Androxus is the best flank because of his mobility in any direction and because of him countering Drogoz, one of the most powerful, borderline broken, damage dealers with his gliding. Lex is ground-bound and while not horrible, is kind of a downgrade from Androxus.

Lex is easier of the two but if you get good with Andy you'll be more heavily rewarded, he is also cheaper.

If you take Andy run a loadout like this, its pretty much the gold standard.

Pip is second best Husbando according to the polls.

Just buy Lex if you like him, you will wreck shit anyways

how often do you actually hit people with reversal

Wasn't that Mal'Damba tho?

I don't care, you and your kind are cancer.

Are you upset, friend? Do you need a hug?

strawpoll.me/12980611/r

He just wants Pip to stop getting so many god damn skins

...

He has gotten a pretty silly amount of them lately. Might be for the best if they skipped over him for a while.

Though if they wanted to redo Pandamonium, I wouldn't complain. I mean seriously, recolors of the Viking outfit and his default goggles? Weak stuff.

still not as whiny as Reddit though.

Androxus is the best and he will never be nerfed too hard since he's "underperforming in all levels of play".

>leaning toward Lex because I think his kit is fun but I'm afraid he won't be as practical as Androxus

Well, you're not wrong. At higher levels of play, Andro is capable of much more than Lex is simply on account of having a more complete kit. That said, it's not really something you need to worry about at this stage - by the time the difference in skill ceiling between Andro and Lex becomes relevant, you'll have long since unlocked the entire roster.

For now, if you're drawn to Lex you should buy him. He's definitely a capable of holding his own relative to other champs, and sees plenty of tournament level play these days. Also, Lex makes a good introduction to Flanks for a new player, because he's probably the easiest to just pick up and play. The only issue is that he's one of those champs with "one card syndrome", where a single one of his legendaries is great and the other two are utter crap - and naturally, it's not the default.

And Evie. Don't forget Evie.

>tfw you want Androxus nerfed to the ground but you also don't want him nerfed to the ground because he's one of the things that stops Drogoz from being the absolute cancer

God I hope Ash's first post-release skin is good.

Tfw you want Androxus nerfed to the ground but Androxus is actually kind of fun to play sometimes

In other news, water is wet.

what the fuck

can you delete this post please?

Stop bullying Fernandoposter.

I went ahead and got androxus, because fuck it, he appeals to my mcree/genji skill set. Just finished the first game, got best flank. Still lost, of course, because absolutely no-one played the objective.

First impression in-game is that the instant reload using nether step is flipping OP (I killed the opposing androxus just by outgunning him ). Otherwise, seems very fun to play.

That being said, fuck playing flank. It means requiring your team to play the objective when you damn well know that they won't.

At least Makoa never lets me down.

What about Yingposter?

That's the spirit, user.

well fuck it i guess i hit my skill ceiling of around 2400-2500. literally playing a different video game at this elo and i'm just forgetting everything i thought i knew to get to here and i just lose every fucking game. dont know how to position, not aware of enemy team or my own teams positions, cant aim, go in at shit times, shitty reaction times when being flanked. fuck it. i just can't do it. i cant get good. fuck it im done idc anymore getting fucking BEATEN DOWN into the DIRT by z1 and kusqt and other 3000+ elo players hasnt taught me anything other than i fucking suck. fuck this fucking matchmaking and fuck my pc and fuck this game and FUCK MEEE.

>Be a mostly front-line player
>Mfw Tyra
Boys I think I'm turning

This was one of the hardest wins I've had in this game fuck, the Barik was demotivated as hell after a quick 0-2 but we managed to come back 4-3.

Just keep practicing, you'll get comfortable eventually. That gap is probably the hardest to break but for whatever reason you pretty much fly up afterwords.

I'd never played a game like this before -- what most surprised me is how much sounds matter compared to other types of competitive shooters. I assume it'd be much harder to play without sound, since you can identify every character from the particular noises they make when they approach, or use important abilities.

Time to smurf

VROOM VROOM

Capping and pushing in the first round can take the fight out of the enemy. It's good that your team held together and recovered.

>2,392 elo

Almost there. I can smell, guys!

Should I buy this Lifelike legendary I'm kind of feverish and a little confused

Nah, Lifelike is pretty weak. As for your score, numbers alone don't win games.

Focus lens is best overall, lifelike only worth it if you have a duo FL who can really make use of it.

Dont buy life like till double tank meta is back or they revert the 30% nerf on it

>Revert 30% nerf
Please no, I don't want to get builled for not using it.

what else?

Viktor and BK are pretty loud too

What about this resonabnce one with the y'know explodey heal thing

Bleh

In order to get any real mileage out of it, you have to shake up your playstyle and loadout pretty significantly - in a way that will negatively affect your healing output. And half the time, you won't even feel like you're doing more damage than what you'd accomplish with Focusing Lens.

Ying, like a lot of champs at the moment, really only has one viable option for Legendaries unless you're going for something super niche.

>hear thumping footsteps and the sound of chains grinding and you know you're about to get hooked and fucked in the ass by giant turtle dick

The way I like it.

why are this game's servers so fucking bad?

Are Character Mastery Ranks fucked? I just unlocked a chest but I didn't get anything.

Well, in one night of playing Yin I completely fucked my win ratio

How do people handle playing support in pubs?

I'm doing absolutely massive healing and I get literally the worst frontliners of all time

3 times in a row people have latepicked and everyone panicks and switches to the worst comp possible

Who's Yin?

ying's twin sister

Ying sounds stupid so I'm revising it
Her name is Yin now

They changed the mastery system recently-there's a lot of empty levels now.

Or do you mean you actually opened a chest, and you didn't get any items from it?

Because it's run by Hi-Rez
