Nice try fuckers.

Don't you want to leave all this fighting behind?

I'm deeply aroused by her samurai voice pack.

Drogoz is absolute cancer still. He can still 3 shot people from a distance in the sky where he's basically a spec and any other damage has to stop and aim to actually hit him unless you're someone like Androxus who can also float to shoot him down.

It's pretty fuckin stupid, especially with WYRM jets.

threadly reminder to report this avatarfag.

...

You think Hi-rez will ever make gender skins?

Grover, Grohk and Pip's healing just can't cut it anymore.

They're doing it for Smite.

You know that hitting something from the sky with drogoz is kinda difficult right?
The only bullshit thing about him is honestly salvo, it takes no skill to use and can almost instakill anyone that's not a tank
But he's got a lot of counter nowadays to be fair, any hitscans can disrupt him

Most Drogoz are shit, as long as you have someone on your team that can deal with it and know how to react worse case scenario he gets his ult off because your dumb ass didn't shoot the stupid lizard.

Remove Kinessa.

Pretty much. He isn't that bad at all, the team just has to play around him in order to have success.

Kinessa players try their best

Never

Does Sha Lin have some sort of gimmick that he can keep shooting from stealth or did I run into a cheater?

His ult.

Is he ulting?

Your sight might be failing you.

hi-rez said that gender skins would be hard because most of them would mess with hitboxes too much

They've done it before with Khepri from SMITE but he's just a giant beetle though.

How is Torvald so high? I tried him earlier, he seems good but not that good. Strongest thing about him seemed the beam

Do you really struggle with timing screenshots and then copypasting them into paint? Just disable javascript on the site, or better, you know, use your own fucking head and make loadouts by yourself.

Look, it's Ying! Isn't she the cutest?
I love her with all my heart. She is perfect.

shitters never learn

>hitting something from the sky with drogoz is kinda difficult right
as someone who plays drogoz and a shit ton of tf2 gunboats it isnt as hard as you think
floating androx is is annoying however

>pick Inara
>enemy has 5 heroes with good mobility and little to no CC
>select Treacherous Ground
>Lifelike__ Ying starts shittalking me
We lost 3-4, it was close
Why are people so fucking retarded in this game, it's not fucking rocket science

>come into my circle!
>your team runs away from your circle

drogoz is fine

his ult is not fine

Is this you no0ner?

If you know his projectile speed you can just dominate in the air and hardly be shot by most people. He does too much damage I say.

>avatarfag
>no avatar
>loved by all

>start the game without the hud
>have to rejoin to get it to appear again
ecks deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Half elf, half japanese orc.

This data is biased because the part where the extremes occur are the lower end matches. Kinessa does poorly for the same reason Torvald does well, there's a lot of flanks.

...

>his ult is not fine
The only change I'd like to see is his speed increasing over time but his turning drop dramatically.

SMITE also has things a lot easier hitbox-wise.

The cutest.

Favorite champion design? Kit or just their appearance.

Kit - YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA
Appearance - Chinese Medal of Honour Slut

>Appearance - Chinese Medal of Honour Slut
Agreed.

Let's play "Spot the shitter"
I'll start
>I'm X/ I'm X main so I'll pick him/her
>deft hand
>ban skye
>flank job is to kill other flank
>doesn't buy resiliance to avoid ridiculous knockback
>doesn't speak english at all

>flank job is to kill other flank
Better than when they think their job is to get in the tank's face and get killed.

>silver ying "waits to see what we'll pick first"
>buys items after the first round
>normal ping but teleporting across the map every 5 seconds
>cassie's ult not working
we won but goddamn that was fucking stupid
last game of the day for me

both is best boy

Reminder to turn on team ui

And turn Autobuy off.

>play 4 rounds today where I'm dominating and it's clear that we're gonna win
>round drops everytime
>play 1 round against 3 tanks
>no damage on my team, just flanks and a level 0 jenos
>they stomp us
FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME HI REZ

I mean, they could fix the game, but can they fix the players?
They'll probably fix neither, but you know.

Grover's heal were never good, Grohk as a healer was only good with multiple tank standing on the totem and Pip's potion is buggy as hell

Yo, i'd fuck this little boy.

torvald is extremely easy to play

you are far likelier to have a good torvald on your team than a bad one. Meanwhile, Cassie and Androxus are good but fairly difficult to play, and thus have far lower winrates.

I've always thought Pip's kit is pretty fun, what with leaping around, shooting exploding flaks, chucking healing potions, and turning enemies into chickens.

...

>combining Pip's, Serris's, and any AoE ult
So nice.

drogoz firespit+salvo combo, desu

>Ban Skye

Some do it when they don't want their teammates to pick her and decrease the chance of winning, same for Kinessa.

>Flank job is to kill other flank

It kinda is. A flanker has to prioritize on low health targets and be an annoyance. Tho in this tank heavy meta the virgin mexican dude can just delete flankers

Imagine if that's what we got for a R63 Grohk skin.
Well, yeah, but I'm just saying it's a shitload easier to kill a gaggle of 1500hp chickens than it is unaltered, but stunned, champs.

is there any way to improve ping if I queue NA from EU west? I just want to play with people who speak English, is that so much to ask for?

idi nahui

>get resi 3
What now fur face?

the combo goes in place of the AoE ult, seris and pip combo is too good, no need to change it.

It depends on your own connexion. I'm on ADSL and I use an ethernet cable, and I have 50-60 ping on NA while 20 ping on EU.

>acrobatics away
>proceed to become artillery

Ronin Ash has a cute lisp

>acrobatics
gross, which patch are you living in

The one where people can't aim and don't look up.

>NA server
>speaking english
Pick one and only one.

>implying anyone buys resilience
I bet the majority of players doesn't even know what Resilience is all good for. and I hope it stays like this

i wish i could buy the voice packs of the game on their own :(

how come ice mines doesnt have any flanking routes?

It's a shit map

>whole fucking day of nothing but Ying, Kinessa and bad Lian-pickers
>everyone generally running around aimlessly while it's me and a healer on the point
>unless the enemy got Willo, then they are always standing as a tight group at the point to be nuked by her
Only like two of these felt remotely fair matches. Fuck this shit, fuck competitive. It just makes people stressed assholes while killing all sense of variety in the team builds.

you can jump really high if you get shitty placements apparently

Only if you don't fuck up your winning streak when getting promoted

here is the key to playing Paladins:

DO NOT BE THE FIRST ONE ON THE POINT

THERE IS A COMEBACK MECHANIC THAT WILL FUCK YOU OVER IF THEY WIPE YOUR TEAM, BECAUSE THEN THEY'LL QUICKLY GET 100 BEFORE YOU EVEN RESPAWN

Why do Skye players have zero self awareness of how shit they are?

Worst comeback mechanic ever

Got Plat 2 on on placements friend who i played all the games with got Diamond V wut.

Anyways while climbing to diamond V today i have noticed that this ranked mode must be the most fucking "toxic" shit i have come across 9/10 games everyone is flaming people.

If they are losing my their team sucks.
If they did not get the pick they wanted we are losing because i did not get my character.
just endless excuses and fragile egos seriously turning me off from playing ranked.

Favorite kit is Mal'damba for me, he handles being high skill ceiling in a very good way. An ok damba can heal, a good damba can heal and damage, where a great damba can heal, damage, and constantly stun.
Favorite appearance is Ying because cute

isnt that only if you're going like 3/1 though

Don't bully the waifufags

Nothing wrong with Ying.

Ying is the best.

It still happen at 3/3 which is total bs.

Ying lets herself get hugged from behind by wild animals!

Your team just locked in Maeve, Kinessa, Skye, and flank Pip. What do you do?

>play ying
>her laugh is cute as fuck

A world of difference from just hearing her death lines

dodge

Play Fernando, be majestic as fuck.

Embrace the madness and play counter zhin.

remember why I quit

Nothing brings me more joy than her happiness.

Is shatter just completely useless for Ying now?

>tfw you stepped into the light

Did you perish?

yes
