thread suddenly died? we weren't even on page 10

What was even the point of that /vp/ spam, anyway?

>be fernando
>ride to the point
>charge straight into the enemy team, no fucks given
>everyone has to focus me down
>use my fireball and hold m1 for a bit
>when my health gets low, put up shield and walk backwards
>escape any punishment for my retarded positioning with ease
>get healed by seris
>repeat every 10 seconds

defend this
I'll wait

The board got hit by spam-pushed almost all of the threads off.

Look at the catalog

Fitting op picture.
Pokemon furry porn.

Bui got tired of spamming /vp/ and tried doing Veeky Forums instead apparently

>he doesn't get wrecker

I know this is not a hirez thread but its the closest, anybody knows what happened to the smite general?

if I buy wrecker their seris just heals him even more
it's a lose/lose situation

ded

Caut and/or Dead Zone prevent you from getting healed, enemies will adjust position to fire on you from different angles so your shield can't cover you completely, the shield itself will likely be focused down with Wrecker or skills with extra shield damage, and there are numerous CC effects that will make recovering from your idiotic charge very difficult.

It's ded jim. Got a lot a good pictures from that general.

This is Ying.
She is my wife.

That was certainly a weird occurrence. I hope it doesn't happen again.
This, however, proves that my love for Ying withstands any sort of sabotaging attempt! No board spam and wipe is gonna stop me from loving her with all my being!

Times ticking!!

So! Any thoughts on Lian from the PTS? Will the rest of us have something to look forward to?

Any non-braindead fernando knows how to position himself against a wall to avoid getting shot at from behind, and even if he doesn't it's still hard because the huge hitbox on the shield prevents you from hitting him unless you're looking directly at his back. It also prevents you from applying caut, and if you focus him down for too long his team will push up and his job is done anyway.
At high elo everyone just buys caut against seris because it's pretty much required to win, wrecker is rare, to get wrecker you have to coordinate which teammates will buy which, and nobody does that in solo Q

The man hasn't even gotten his buff and you already want to bury him again, user. Chill out, they'll gut him next patch for sure. Jeez!

Winning against a pubstomping Drogoz is hard and tiring.
+22 ELO

OB54 fernando is even worse
I played around 10 matches on PTS and every single one of them had flanknando, no exceptions
Every round, he was there behind my team, if we focused and killed him they'd cap for free, if we didn't he'd get free kills by spamming fireball

A champ with 5500 health shouldn't have such mobility on a low cooldown (with an extra 1000 health shield every time he uses with that card everyone uses), it's pretty much begging people to play him as a flanker. This game's playerbase is completely retarded, Pip can be played as a flanker and everyone cries about it until he's gutted, but Fernando doing is is perfectly fine

This was the kind of shit that almost made me drop the game back before he was nerfed

know the reason why its ded? I haven't been here in a while and didn't seem to me that the game was dying.

*ANGRY TRAIN NOISES*

You should drop the game again.

If the changes in ob55 are as garbage as ob54 I probably will

Well, the game itself is coasting along well enough, but attempts to maintain a general discussion thread about it have consistently failed.

Good.

I mean, can't they just waifupost? That kinda keeps us thriving.

The recent season is really boring conquest wise and Arena/Joust stopped giving entertainment value. Ever since Paladins hit OB I stopped playing it entirely.

Its a decent game but been there done that.

Also the shitposting

Guys?
W-where is Fernandoposter?

He got scared off by all the furry porn.

Always fun when you can pull it off, though.

Just for you, user.
I want to have Fernando's expertise on my team!

I try to aim for getting the first post on the thread. If I'm unfashionably late, I just wait for the next one. Not entirely sure why, but I like to fit that certain niche.

why is Fernando so perfect?

>Tall, dark, handsome
>Enough self-confidence for three men
>Always working hard to protect his amigos
>Imperfect grasp of idiom to make him more approachable while remaining suave as fuck

How is PTR Wyrm Jets, Does it effect the bunny hop aspect that hard? Its the best part of the card by far, the nerf seems trivial on the grand scheme of things.

To be fair, the thread got spamwiped to oblivion pretty much outta nowhere, so I can't really blame you.
I had to make a quick little paragraph for my girl too, it's a tad weak but she knows I still truly love her with all my heart despite that.

I stopped playing a couple of months ago, and now no matter how hard I try to get back into the game and enjoy things it just doesn't feel worth it.
>Damage legendaries and general power creep brought TTK down to Overwatch level
>Game is being balanced around console kiddies and drooling retards
>Movement abilities nerfed, projectile speed buffed
>Grind is fucking insane (especially for new players)
>Most champions still have only 1 viable legendary, and Lo-Rez would rather nerf it and cripple the champ instead of providing him with different options
Do they hate fun or what?

Well, Hi-Rez has a record of pushing until the backlash gets too harsh, then taking a step back. Perhaps we'll see things change back around in some ways by the year's end.

>hirez makes legendaries have an obvious superior option 100% of the time
>a bad thing
>rework said legendaries
>also a bad thing

at least be consistent.

Also the grind in this game is a fucking joke after you buy the founders pack, just fucking play the game and you'll be swimming in essence, especially after the next patch.

yff in hell

Why so upset, user?

can I get a list of all the hitscan champions in the game?

I know Lian is. But who else?

go to paladinscounter.com/ and check for yourself. also requesting that link in the next OP.

barik, ruckus,, kinessa, lian, tyra, viktor, grohk, ying, androxus, buck, lex, skye,

WORST
PALAKINO
EVER

is the game shit now?

how can one have such garbage taste

It always has been.

Why Paladins is always compared with Overwatch? I mean, I'm starting to feel tired with all the flowers OW receives all while Paladins gets shit on it's face.

because overwatch is the innovator of literally every genre and game mechanic in existence
haven't you heard

Because Hi-Rez had a very original game in the closed beta and made it more like Overwatch after Overwatch's release.

Because Blizzard can sell shit and fans are going to praise it, also, they're pandering to the popular group right now (sjw's).

is my new waifu released yet?

Tomorrow, user.

Are you the same guy from last thread that claimed her?

youtu be.com/watch?v=mdjH5UeKrOg
DirtyBomb now confirmed copying paladins

>Your new waifu
Lian is all mine, faggot.
I bet you don't even have a folder for her.

First time seeing this game, looks fun/interesting. How hard the developers fucked this again?

youtube.com/watch?v=mdjH5UeKrOg

Wow, it's paladins but better

>having a deployable shield is copying
We are not stooping down as low as Overwatch.

It's a good thing Barik came out before Orisa did, otherwise we'd likely never hear the end of it.

he seems fun and almost wants me to play DB again

lol

...

Can someone explain to me why people enjoy this game so much

Like I honestly don't understand it

It just seems like a cynical cash in made with as little effort as possible

Yet people seem so attached to these one note, terribly written characters

I'm honestly dumbfounded, please explain

Because despite being shit, it's still the best of its kind.

>Reddit spacing
Here's your (You).

sunk cost fallacy, and lots of people support it simply because they hate blizzard

I unironically like this.

Other MOBA generals strive on waifufaggotry and eSports bullshit.

Hi-Rez eSports are a joke so nobody talks about that, and Smite waifufaggotry alone can only last for so long.

>pretending spacing matters to anyone to feel superior
>SPACING

The game really seems to want me to play Zhin. It keeps throwing his cosmetics at me. I've got like 3 left until I've collected them all.

It's fun to play.

So what am I missing about Fernando? He just feels so impotent. Flamethrower does fuckall, nobody groups up to be fireballed, charge is okay as a mobility skill I guess, but does shit damage and the knockback upgrade didn't work at all when I tried it.

you aren't using fireball legendary with -4s fireball cooldown card

Overwatch is frustrating.
Dirty Bomb is ruined.
Battleborn is dead.
Lawbreakers is repetitive.
TF2 is abandoned.
This game is bad but it's at the best position in its genre.

>Fernando
>impotent
Oh user, you might get lynched by some people by saying that.

>lian is supposed to be The Princess
>doesn't have a poofy dress with so many layers of petticoats that they block bullets

is her entire purpose to be Dom Ying (yang?)

I am though. Maybe it's because I'm playing casual where there's an abundance of flanks, but nobody stands in a line to be group fireballed, and it's not that strong on one target.

Kill Seris first, you idiot.
Why the fuck you would focus on frontline first, just escape him, kill all his teammates and then go after him.

She's smug

>yang?
Yang is the good, light side while yin(g) is the evil, dark side. More fuel for the theory fire.

>it's a "nobody can hit drogoz for shit" episode

honestly i'm just waiting for the for an actual flying support for pure cancer

>this world is not yours to rule!
What did she mean by this?

and sickly apparently.

So how's everyone doing today?

Which 7500 champ should i pick up before the price change /palg/? I enjoy playing Makoa, Mal Damba and Bomb King if that helps.

>What are hitscans

Ash.

Can she do work with her base legendary?

Hi-Rez messed up and made her best legendary her default

Shoulder bash best leggo.

Last I heard, Ying meant cherry in some asian language but I can't actually seem to find the veracity of that.
Apart from that, google gives me definitions ranging from "flower or petal" (apparently the most literal meaning), "outstanding person", "hero", "brave", "lovely" etc.
By the by, please stop coming up with foul stories about my wife. She is indeed a lovely girl and just wants to do good for the world.

Hi, this is my wife.

You're not the real Pixie.

Damn user you drew this?
