Previous thread:

"we don't want melee champions that get in your face"
-hirez

I can't see new defiance being good honestly.

Solo only queue when?

Defiance rework, pip acrobatics rework, Talus buffs, Maeve music slider, new Onslaught map, Torvlad nerf (he was brutal man), the only bad changes are to Lex and Buck (which was a bug).

Most of the stuff even YOU wanted!

Rate the patch, /palg/.

>Faggy op doesnt use pics from stream as op
maeve posters fom

Makoa and old defiance already exist.

>adding a melee ability means the champion is melee focused now
t. idiot

IF i SEE THAT FUCKING CAT ONCE MORE TIME

9/10 i rate based on stuff they did. And honestly the only thing that i didn't like is the Lex buff.

My thread

It's really dumb, lo-rez showing their great design choices again

>run out of ammo
>don't feel like reloading, just walk up to the guy and punch him

Andro is going to be a permaban vs Na'vi.

Look it by the bright side at least isn't blizzard, yet

>OP isn't witch Evie
>embed
Neck yourself.

>new onslaught map
>Torvald nerf
>Most of the stuff even YOU wanted!
??????

>change characters weapon to make it most effective when it's in melee range
>then give him a melee ability later
he's a melee character now

really disappointed they got rid of acrobatics and replaced it with a dps increase

>OP isn't angry Grover
delet this

-1/10 literally nothing changed with balance

Press F to pay respects.

t. idiot

>That 20/10 Mal Damba voice pack
>That 100000/10 Snek

1/10, I like the witch evie skin.

You have played as the Torvald right?

The 2.5 seconds meant certain death with most good teams. I am honestly glad that they nerfed it.

>Torvald
>run up to someone with speed buff
>press rmb
>free kill
Recharge nerf is dumb but this is needed. I'm angry about Maeve and Buck tho.

Good skins, disappointing balance decisions when it comes to Lex and Buck.

10/10 skins
1/10 balance

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY BUFFING LEX

I know a lot of Andro players are retarded but I didn't expect them to be THIS retarded.

He's still shit and nobody picks him.

F

Yeah the rest of the balance was fine. Grokh has something happening in a few months (semi automatic malestorm) and most of the complaints are addressed in two patches (most)

Missed it, unfortunately. What are the highlights?

8/10 skins(mostly because of the Evie skin)
6/10 balance(rather meh, but not as bad as some of the whiners think)

I like to flank while getting most of my health with Gift Giver so this works for me really well!

Who uninstalling until OB61?

>Another Evie skin
>Maeve untouched so she remains top dog of flanks
what can we conclude from this?
did hi-rez forgot they have other female champions around?

Buck was retardedly good and that bug fix was needed.

Things are a little tense around here currently, but I just wanted to remind you that through everything, no matter what happens, I will love her unconditionally.

t. hirez

Lex is shit, he just feels unfair to fight against.

That's why everybody first pick/ban him in comp, right?

Great skins. Only Lex buff, buck bug fix. Defiance rework, acrobatics rework, Torvald nerf, Talus buffs (i wanted increased range not damage tho). Honestly not that bad balance changes.

if someone picked buck in comp he would probably carry because torv and luminary jenos is OP right now. Even without those he was too strong in the right hands. He is also one of the less risky flanks with a proper deck.
Next nerfs should be to Maeve's sniper playstyle and Sha's ult charge.

>do training map to work on Talus a bit
>two other people and two bots
>they take pip and androxus
>bots take kinessa and barik
>enemy bots are jenos, nando, sha lin, grover, and lex
the pip had less than 20k damage, never used his ult, never healed. The androxus wasn't much better.
This is my first loss against bots. And that's including times when my entire team was made of bots.
I'm just... how do these people even know how to breathe?

Paladins, the game where you need more focusfire to take down a flank than a tank!
Remember, at Paladins, we know balancing!

t. bronze

How long it took people to start picking Maeve, Literally weeks even after tournament. And he jumped to being third best flank (Yes look at the better meta)

>acrobatics rework
>pip is still shit

For what purpose?

>nerf his health
>nerf his shield recharge rate
>remove his ability to suck shields
>make his silence single target and remove his disarm effect
WTF HI REZ TOO OP PLZ NERF

they're brand new to the game, probably FPS games entirely, and probably less than 13 years old, what are you expecting?

i dunno 50% more DPS sounds really good. And you can literally have it every 4 seconds if your team is clumped up. We may see some pocket stars bois.

From their story from Tribes and Smite I expected nothing and I am still dissapointed

Between this patch and Siege recent announcements this week has been quite bad so far

>I don't actually play the game
Okay

>Meanwhile Torvald is the best champion on all level of play.

Yea man, that sweet 15 second cooldown is really gonna save him now!

master here fuckboi
post your guru before you talk back to me

Torvald was no longer about extreme survivability since last patch. Who cares.

Since when?

Pip will never be good unless his potion bugs get fixed.

like Ying?

Since his introduction. Look at the better meta. Even when looked at higher ELO he still has the best winrate.

They nerfed the wrong thing about torvald. His DPS is retarded, he needed a dropoff. Why are you nerfing the tankiness of immobile tanks?
I don't understand how they fuck up the tank balance when they have the perfectly balanced tank in the game to take as an example, Inara.

Are you mr.3k3 elo casual?

is this a meme?

>Why are you nerfing the tankiness of immobile tanks?
Why are you still believing Hi-Rez knows how to, or even cares about, properly balancing?

I don't see any guru link there

NO FALL OFF

How is he shit when he's unfair to fight against? Explain this to me. He fucking melts anybody.

wheres the fucker who said evie wasn't going to get a voiced skin?

Someone get me an Evie skin webm or something, I need to fap

>shitters that run on the point are now punished because they don't have the tankiness to survive
>good players can now build resilience to not die to his 2.5s silence
>he's a backline support rather than an anchor tank, he's even more focused than before

the nerf is good

I don't want to blame them so much because this game's playerbase is retarded beyond saving.
All these survivability nerfs are because retards cannot pin down immobile targets and hit their shots.
I still think Torv should have stayed as a supportive tank not as a DPS with high health pool. His LMB changes are fine and ok but it should have dropoff. Like Inara's. She has 775 DPS or something close range and she has really good tools to tank and be supportive. Imagine if she had no dropoff though. That would be retarded.

after the buck change i've lost my paladins appetite

gonna dive into some divinity 2 until hirez buffs him again

>no range
>shit mobility
Literally a worse andro

What was his fire rate with the bug? It is normally .9

>make a frontliner a disguised sniper
>good

Lian feels unfair to fight against because she autoaims everything and if you are in her sights with low HP, you will die. However, Lian often does not have enough of an impact to sway a game (although I'm not saying she's shit like Lex is).

Lex is similar in that when he WM1s you it feels bullshit. But he's still shit.

There is a general issue with projectiles that have been around for months. My bombs with BK won't detonate half the time when I spam right click, Viktor nades exploding right on top of people for 0 damage, ect.

seeInara can run to the point and still get melted by people who can hit shots. And after wrecker 3 torv has to be more careful when jumping to the point.

I don't know but i think the reason torv always having good winrate is because of this. People cannot aim and he just stand on the point without dying.

He can be a backline support though if they balance him properly. He has good tools to keep his team alive. He can silence flanks and bubble his team. He also has offensive capabilities. But he is too overloaded right now.

see ya again never

Mark my words.
By the next patch, the meta will be 1 damage, 1 frontline, 1 support, and 2 flanks.

BK and Evie are really garbage on over 120 ping. Unresponsive detonates and blinks. Huge window between going into and out of iceblock.

I think that by that time they'll nerf Maeve. Most changes that happen in ob 60 were requested in ob 58.

>VIP is getting 0 (zero) new skins
Holt, nigga, you could've thrown the Snek or Evie skin in the VIP category, but nah, must have a shitty, edgy mount in the VIP store and throw all the halloween shit in a box for those sweet shekels.

>rework
Explain the reworks or those are just worthless words and you fixed nothing.

>throw all the halloween shit in a box for those sweet shekels.

New to Jewrez?
