I want to ask about Fernando's life as a knight!

why is sha lin so easy to play?

So easy they had to use a bug to nerf him.

When are they going to buff teammates?

uh? I thought you nerds let the thread die.
Why it was deleted?

This is Ying.
She is my hoe.

Every day I can be at her side is a pleasure, and my lust for her burns as intensely as it ever has.

She is without a doubt the hottest and most sexiest elf girl that has ever walked this world, and I feel infinitely honoured to be her pimp.

I want to steal and sell for a low price Fernando's precious things.

>auto rifle waifu
We paladins waifus of the realm now
youtu.be/V5TSsepFwBM

does any character ever mentions the word "Paladins" ingame?

no
i really want an actual paladin champion though. deus vult, cleansing fire, holy light and all that

Tyra is still my favorite dps character. People can take their meta and shove it.

fernando

eh
he's more about living out a flighty ideal that you'd only find in storybooks, saving damsels, slaying dragons, etc. emphasis on saving damsels, and he's a bit more wreckless with achieving this ideal - being self-appointed and all

we don't have someone that fights and serves exclusively for some holy, celestial idea/god/religion/whatever. that would be tight shit

I legit thought they were all Champions fighting for their deities. Like a followup of Smite.

Anyone knows what are we fighting for?

no idea dude
there's makoa whose apparently tired with the land-dweller's shitting things up, mal'damba who was disturbed in some way or another to make him join in the fighting, and inara (grover too maybe) who wants to protect the land
until we get official loȓé everything's a shot in the dark
i am interested to see how hi-rez is gonna handle it though. i think this will be the first time they'll be making their own lore from the groundup - smite already has it "pre-written", since it's based off real life mythology, and idk if tribes or global agenda had any extensive backstory

we're all fighting for crystallized drybear cum.

Love seeing an enemy team dismiss cauterize cause you don't have a healer and going life rip 3. She's such a beast.

I think I'm going to play the game.

What role are you interested in.

>team filled with jajas
>two of them think that its a good idea to keep 2 flanks and no tank
>i go numb and insist with dps
>grover goes with a shit loadout, cant heal nor fight properly
>against a proper team
>we loose
>next game
>zhin with no caut while enemy team builds life rip and kill to heal
>grover with zero presence
>retarded flanknando starts chasing after a cassie further away from point on first round
>those wounds still crawling in my skin so i'm having a shit performance
>sha lin is the one doing a good job and lifting us
>zhin finds a way to blame him and the team
>flanknando thinks hes a big boy and still doing shit while "XD i play music on the voice chat"
I just wanted to get level 15 with tyra

dont

Yo man thats uncool, ying is a nice elf who only deserves pure love

Yeah, nigga, would you like we talking like that about Shaquandra?

good luck being paired with new players being le badass flank who cant kill shit

not so threadly reminder,

That Drogoz is still the best husbando. And no amount of Yings or Fernandos will ever change that.

New update was actually okay so i came back.

Which legendary would you say is better? The extra damage for direct hits or the boost speed? I want to start playing the dragon.

Skye is better than ying in every way.

Yeah, two movement skils agains 0

Combustible is good if enemy team has 2 tanks, especially like Barik or Ash+healer like Groover, gives you the ability clear the point and to push tanks from their comfort zone
Fusillade is good for general damage and your surviviability as it allows you to win most duels with raw power
Wyrm jets is for memeing with Nimble III on Timber Mill
>I want to start playing the dragon.
You came at bad time m8
not

>wyrm jets
>meme
discarded

>two
>skils
>agains
made me chuckle

Only if enemy team is generally retarded and allow you to bunny hop around on sanic speed like a madman.

shit, didnt saw that

i am actually a Ruckus main.
But well, Fullsilide is still viable. Frankly, all of his legendaries are still viable, its just whichever playstyle you like the most.

>bunny hoping
if not on a tight situation, only retards play on ground level with a jet pack character, are you one of those that find optimal to just stay on the back spamming fire spit?

I'm not the only one suffering from severe FPS losses patch after patch, right?

OB53 has made the game literally unplayable, I'm having to deal with the FPS dipping down to 20.

I mean for porn

Why not both?

same here

Try flying againest Kinessa and other bullet spewing heroes and see how fast you get cut down. Drogoz's hitbox actually extends to his tail so when you are flying, you're twice as long and likely to get shot at.

Speaking of anti-air, holy shit is Ash stupidly long range now, I think the longest range barring Ruckus. All those idiots crying about the lack of short range AOE is missing out on the sheer deleting of any aerial targets which easily shoots Ash up to almost top tier as a support tank.

Explain this matchmaking.
Whats the point in playing competitive anyway if you always get matched like this.

and? there are other ways to get to someone without flying in a straigth line to them. Sure, they have some easy time against you at certain distances, use your extra speed and get to their faces using cover, shooting at them to force a position change, you, know, use some skill.

This is Ying,
She is my wife.

I had a weird feeling about last thread, and it looks like I wasn't entirely wrong.
But fear not, my love for Ying remains unchanged! She is the most adorable elf girl that has ever existed after all!

You're not very nice.
Please stop being rude to my wife!

>be solo
>win 5 hard earned games and finally join the 3k elo elite club.
>the rest of the day I'm matched with literal retards and lose 150 elo
>log in with smurf account
>70 eliminations
>still lose because matched with literal retards again.

>I legit thought they were all Champions fighting for their deities
that probably makes sense for some characters like grohk or mal'damba, but for other characters they kind of are the deity like makoa and grover, then other characters clearly just care about money like pip, kinessa, or maeve
my guess is there's sort of parallel stories running side by side that all coincide at crosswind hold so there's like adventurers, treasure seekers, outlaws laying low, justice bringers, god worshipers, a god slayer, etc

Wtf? in payload, if my team holds at 90, i need to advance till 90 in order to win, right?

>torvald, ash, and barik with a seris and ying
literally what am I supposed to do this is too much healing to deal without caut and too many shields to deal without wrecker and my team picked flanks and couldn't kill their support

pray

if you want to deal serious damage take fusillade
if you want to move fast as shit take wyrm jets
if you're not confident in your movement or aim and you do not have enough essence for other legendaries than combustible is ok, beyond that still take wyrm jets

you need to push the cart farther than the enemy team ever did to win

Late night Alaskan oil baron here. I have been on a paladin spree lately and so long story short I have two accounts with all the possible skins I can get right now. I wanted to know paladins future? Did I come in to late to financially support it? I really have fallen in love but I can't go back to games that only have 200 population.

Yeah, nah fuck off

steamcharts.com/app/444090

What the fuck are you complaining about? Come talk when you're facing pros that are 1500 higher ELO than you.

The game has good numbers on paper but a lot of those players are russian and BR. I imagine less than half of the players are from english speaking countries.

I hate all the new characters

Got this faggot with his 3,5k elo memestack a few hours ago in my 2400 elo shitswamp
nice stomp wud play again
Happy now?
not

I already fought Bird and some other faggots, i am only at 2.7k elo.

report em and get some friends

also, why report em you may ask, well, my friend mains tanks and healers and was 3,5k elo a few weeks ago he got banned after allot of ppl reported him for just playing well.

>legit players get banned when mass reported
>aimbotters like sturmfuhrerhans are still playing

Really gets the brain juices flowing.

>if you don't record yourself NOT aimbotting and also make a huge fuss on the forums and reddit you will stay banned
I'm always afraid of this shit since I don't have any videos

That whole event still makes me laugh every time I think about it. I really wish we knew what streamer it was that started that shit

>tfw you're a mediocre to ok player
Guess it's not something I have to worry about at least.

What champions are uma delicia to play as?

drogoz

pick fernando win not pick fernando not win
palatards????

nothing wrong with this

why is there no good paladins porn

Winston
Lucio

because it's not overwatch

So I just started playing this and I'm past the playing with bots stage.

Now when do I get teammates that aren't braindead retards who don't stand still while shooting? My god there are some idiots who play this game.

Because there's no good paladins characters, might aswell draw something for some OC donut steel character you came up with in 5 seconds instead of characters from this game. You'd come up with something with as much character as a paladins champion and it'd perfectly fit your taste.

Never. Welcome to Paladins, it's always terrible. This game somehow managed to attract the worst players I've ever seen in all my years of playing video games. I don't know how Hi-Rez did it.

Brazilians and Russians make up the majority of the playerbase

Past certain MMR/elo it gets better like any other MP game but the that floor is higher here. Or you can play ranked but it's shit for other reasons.

Ok, because playing as Fernando I literally never die people just don't seem to understand to kill the healer

Just assume you're playing with people who never played a team game/fps before and everything makes sense.

Free game, so fewer people who are more willing to pay for things like that.

>tfw you had a losing streak and now seem to be stuck too low mmr to get decent teams
How does a willo never use dead zone once against a team with two supports?

>Overwatch porn
>good

new feature: if torvald silences you as ruckus right after you pop your ult you can never pop it again in the match

thanks lo-rez

>play Grover
>80% win rate
>don't play Grover
>50% win rate

Huh?

>OverWatch porn
>Bad

>porn

>climbing through elo using only FL/support
>tried playing BK again after a really long time
>get assblasted every match
I guess this is my life now

play test maps/onslaught/payload so you get the hang of it again and don't fuck your teammates

>Drogoz is forever banned in comp now
I'm having fun, lads.

...

It's not something you can really judge as a whole, since it ranges from total shit to good stuff. Personally I just find it dull.

woah so this is the power of """""""""""""""""Booster™"""""""""""""""""
bravo lo-rez!

SFM ruined porn

He'll be unbanned as the meta shifts and new champs are added.

It kind of did. I learned it for porn, and then realized how lazy it can be.

defend this

I defend Drogoz on my team with this

Do you lose elo for dodging like you used to in League of legends? Really don't want to tank for those 3 flank + pip combos.
