I want to describe and entail Fernando's breath-taking features; whose presence is no less then that of divinity, whose eyes glisten like scintillating stars, whose smile is the very sun, melting my heart, melting yours!

Choose your words carefully heathen, for they are your last.

The gods smile upon me

Ash is my waifu!

Smitefriends are welcome!

>I messed up the OP
Fucking embeds


She's probably hairy as fuck. Tyra skin when? What kind of theme could she go for anyway?

What tank duo is the best?

Torvald/Ash for maximum point bullying.

loli champs, add them.

Ruckus and Bolt

>Play inara with CC inmunity leggo
>Torvald,seris,zhin ult fail on me
>Play zhin with counter leggo
>tank skye bombs,drogoz punch,anything basically

this shit is so hilarious

The classic Nando x Makoa.

Makoa, the other one doesn't matter.

perfect winning with inara all night music

Werewolf girl :3

Tyra is pretty cute

Who the fuck is Tyra?

why is there a payload if you can win the match without touching the payload

pre op viktor

My wife.

I feel like this guy is already on the list.

Explain, who else was changed in China

Yeah, I am quite literally being paired with new players, these people don't even know common strats or what to build. I had to tell them everything, they didn't even know what cauterize was or why they should build it.

Obviously we lost since they couldn't handle their Maeve and Zhin and didn't build accordingly. This game is a joke, it expects me to be able to 1v5 the enemy team and help these players like a high school teacher at an inner city school.

china dont like spooky skelingtons and animal pelts

a crackhead

But I like the bearskin

half cat
half man
half dude

It got even worse after the patch. Now Maeve runs around destroying everyone because no one can aim at the jumping cat that deletes our healer and a damage while our Fernando runs ahead with his shield out against 4 dudes burning him down. And then after everyone is dead, we start trickling back one at a time and get picked off. It's great.

woah someone got texmod/umod to work
How?
I've been trying to make it work and give cassie a womb tattoo for ages

That's her Chinese model. Baroness Tyra is just a fully clothed reskin of that.

Do they have other characters with different looks?

Rather, that's just a baroness tyra reskin.
Well fuck, there was a way to use umod on paladins a while back but they patched it and i missed it.
I need it to work goddamnit.
I need those womb tattoos on the girls

The thing I loved about Ruckus is that he was just solid. Everything happened instantaneously, and you could always be where you want to be and do exactly what you wanted to do.

I don't mind Missile Launcher in theory, but in practice it feels so awkward. It feels like it's not even firing from the correct position half the time. And why is it disabled during Advance?

Maybe I'll get used to it, but right now he just doesn't feel very good to play.

dont think so

>womb tattoos
Y tho?

WHY IS MAEVE THROWING AXES AT BULLET SPEED

They increased her projectile speed by like 260 so she throws shit at the speed of sound. Plus they increased the size of them, so be prepared to get hit behind corners

Which makes me wonder why they buffed her, flankers in general seem like they exist to pub stomp and they decide to make it easier? Today's just been a repeat of the patch release when I played Onslaught, it's not fun to get stomped and it's not fun when I'm doing the stomping so why is it like this?

Do people actually think this matchmaking is balanced? I'm betting the faggots on the subreddit and forums would say yes, but how is this balanced when I'm getting fresh players against teams?

You will know why one i get it to work and post pics.
You will fap to it.

>Played Overwatch since launch and never really paid any attention to paladins other than that dunkey video

>Try it out because I've gotten a bit sick of OW and ngl the tits drew me in

Honestly Im surprised at how polished and fun everything is. I thought this was one of those ultra-cheapo hi-rez cash grabs. Maybe it is, but honestly Im kinda pleased with it.

How many good cosmetics have I missed out on? My dick twitched at the raeve skin

Makoa and Inara, he hooks them, then Inara cripples them.
Also you need someone to defend point when Makoa goes flanking, and Inara is pretty good at that.

Only scrubs are getting their ass kicked by a bunch of flankers

Even better that you get a free BR chest for winning 5 games of Onslaught, so everyone is playing it to get the chests. I've been stomped all day today because I always get put against 5 man premades with a good Maeve while my team is lower ranking.

Not him but I will
I'm fairly certain you can get almost every skin the skin chest, only ones not in it are the VIP ones and I think the seasonal exclusives. Oh yeah, and the drogoz skin, you can get only get that by playing comp.

>dunkey

oh look it's another "internet guy tells me what to do"

Only seasonal stuff. Any chest stuff you missed out on can be gotten from the skin chest, and they'll probably cycle them into the VIP store from time to time. I prefer the VIP idea to loot chests anyway, I hate gacha shit.

Also they need to let us mute that Maeve skin it's kind of obnoxious to have someone on your team pick her and the music is blaring during champ select.

Pretty much all of the cosmetics are visible from the character select screen. They don't hide the limited time ones like some other games do, and "Exclusive" ones are in chests, where if you can't get it now, it'll eventually return in a future chest.

The only problem I have with this game is server issues and drophackers (hackers who can just somehow delete the match they're currently in from existence to dodge losses). Otherwise, it's better than OW for me.

If I somehow went back in time, I would not choose anyone else other than her to be my wife. She is everything a man could ask for in a woman, she is simply my sunshine and my biggest inspiration of happiness.
This is why I strive to reciprocate her with an even greater love on my part, and will continue to do so until the day I draw my last breath.
I will be at her side for as long as I can, protecting her, loving her, making her smile. It is my duty as her man to ensure her well-being, and nothing could bring me more joy.

Snapdragon is better

...

Maeve needed a buff, but Hi-Rez went overboard. She didn't need a projectile speed AND hitbox increase. She's doing Strix tier hitbox bullshit now

Cute but too buff.

So you can pretty much buy everything with points? Hows the grind?

Better or worse than rolling on the loot boxes like you do on overwatch?

And VIP is like a subscription service for bonus cosmetics right?

Only a madman would let dunkey tell them what to do. But his delivery's pretty funny

does that mean a lot of the internet are madmen

I know, those "scrubs" are the people I'm being forced on a team with. So then I have to go out of my way to protect my precious potato's just so we can lose 0/4 because they decide not to listen to the only sane man but instead rush in and die like the stupid fucks I know them to be. I try to help them, but deep down I just look at them with disgust and pity.

That was my Thursday in a nutshell, after nine hours of the stupidest people I've ever seen I was rewarded with a MVP pose, for TYRA. I hate this game now, it's players are Overwatch tier stupid and the matchmaking is just as stupid.

>testing loadout in bot game with Jenos
>Ult on bots clumped up together
>get play
>???

I'm convinced one day all of these subhumans trying to report me for bullshit is going to get me banned.

>So you can pretty much buy everything with points?
Not really. You can't buy the cards using the currency purchased with money, but you can buy the founder's pack that gives you a bunch of the chests, card currency and all the champions for like 20 bucks I think.

I haven't been a full-on F2P player for a long time, so I don't know about the grind for buying champs. Back before I bought founder's pack, it was super easy to get them, with you having enough to unlock a champ in like 10 matches. They've made so many changes to prices and currency since then though.

Why am i playing andro, properly aiming, doing flicks after nether steps, properly timing my reversal and aiming the projectile playing without a RMB and risking my life when going to the backline because andro has no range while maeve is sniping people with her braindead 900 damage piss easy to land daggers with her small hitbox and "finisher" type of RMB?

Because Maeve takes forever to fire one dagger and has to land both of them, then use her abilities to kill, while Andro can melt anyone with his revolver shots if he can aim.

What rank are you?

But user, she looks beautiful any which way.

My wife Ash is so cute.

They had the nerve of telling me to get on point even though I spent the entire game saving their asses from Strix. And the goddamn Barik can't even defend the point for shit. It was 4/0 and the times they brought the payload to our base, Barik was just standing there, not even contesting it. He just kept backing up until they capped it. Ranked is filled with such idiots.

LMB RMB LMB dead
longer range no drop off easier burst smaller hitbox 3 abilities vs 2

The players you meet in bot games can be really special. Sometimes it's even disturbing.

>Because Maeve takes forever to fire one dagger
That doesn't really matter if she's 800 feet away doing dumb damage so you enter the fight fucked up just to be finished off by a stray bullet. Her increased dagger size and speed are fucking deadly in long range fights

I wish Ash would smother me with her thighs

because androxus can headshot

Swimsuit skin when?

I need more Paladins webms for my collection. Post them in response to this post.

Imagine how sweaty she gets under her armor and suit haha.

That really gets me going, user. I wonder if SplashBrush has done something similar.

...

>le every female character needs a swimsuit skin
Fucking girl fetishists need to off themselves.

All females need a string bikini.

>RNG headshots

Plat, close to diamond but I've since dropped down thanks to the team's I've been getting. I only want the 100 wins for the Drogoz weapon so I can stop though.

I'm mostly talking about casual now, I'm just trying to get my three win bonuses for the day and I've only earned one today. I don't know why, if I play a damage or flanker I can take out their entire team solo but my team refuses to capitalize. I've wiped teams thanks to Drogoz or Bomb King, taken out their heals or damage thanks to Androxus or Evie and my team's still too afraid to push in.

I'm at a loss, I keep losing and losing, everything I do isn't enough to win these games. And it's never even fair, it's always a 0/4 loss because of my team being too scared when they need to rush in and rush in when they need to retreat. What, does this game need my winrate to be sub 50% before I get a team that will listen?

what if:
>replace current cat burglar effect
>give her the old speed bonus(80%)
>also reduce cooldown 1 or 2 secs if that is not enough

How do we fix Lifelike, lads?

How about we team up, user? I'm a frontliner main so I'll appreciate having a good damage/flank player in my team.

But I play in SEA server so we probably can't play together

in higher diamond you'll start losing about as much as you gain and in masters you lose more than you gain per win

Well shit. Seems like I'm suited more in high plat/low diamond.

with this system everyone with a brain cell is, it's kind of ridiculous that just keeping a 50% winrate is enough to guaranteed get you into diamond, especially with how forced it can feel at times

Casuals doesn't really have match-making. It matches by aggregate MMR which fluctuates like crazy so if a pro is just dicking around with a flank and losing againest other pros in Casual, he's going to get match up against your noob squad to compensate.

>grind
It's there but can be mostly eliminated with the founders pack
>loot boxes
Never played overwatch so can't really comment on that but skin chests won't give you duplicates
>vip
You can get it playing normally or you can use crystals to get more.

>Lifelike now reduces the effect of Cauterize and Deadzone by 30%.

>it's kind of ridiculous that just keeping a 50% winrate is enough to guaranteed get you into diamond
Really, though, we'd expect even 51% to do that. If you're winning even slightly more than you're losing, matchmaking should move you up.

NA here, so I guess we can't. I'm a frontline main too I just picked damage to try and carry.

Now my elo's below 2000 thanks to these teams and my win/loss is now 52%. I HAVEN'T DRAWN SMUT IN THREE DAYS. THREE. DAYS. Because it takes me so fucking long to get three wins. Don't these fuckers realize not everyone has all fucking day to spend on a losing streak? That some people have other hobbies or lives? Just give me fair fucking matches and stop putting me on the short bus all the fucking time I'm this close to fucking uninstalling.

The fact my winrate in Quake fucking Champions which has no matchmaking, and how much easier it is to carry in QC than it is in Paladins is really starting to piss me off.

Then why are my teammates on the whole stupider than their team? Why are their elo's lower than the enemy team's? Why are their winrates lower than the enemy's? Why can't I not get some potato's and get some players with some intelligence instead?

Go back to sleep yingfag

I swear I'm the only one who experience mostly fair MM, Diamonds plus can't even go past duo.

>Then why are my teammates on the whole stupider than their team? Why are their elo's lower than the enemy team's? Why are their winrates lower than the enemy's? Why can't I not get some potato's and get some players with some intelligence instead?
this is the exact same thing the enemy team is feeling

How often do you see boosts?

So far I think I'm the only one I have seen who activated em

who would waste boosters on weekends?

I used all of mine in AI matches, because that way I know I'll win.

That wasn't me.
Well, the answer wasn't me.

Who's supposed to push the cart? Coming from OW I've been assuming it was supposed to be the tanks, but sometimes I see tanks pushing up and a dps/healer pushing.
And now that I think about it, it kind of make sense to do it that way?

>play with people that have raeve
>they don't use boosters

fucking scum

yes.
