I want to soak Fernando's flaming vessel!

Is Ying's new legendary at all viable or best to stick with shatter/lens?

youtube.com/watch?v=qyNk6YMNf-s
Please show your support for the game. Please help Raynday end it all.

The only viable choice is not to play Paladins.

It gives her the option of a last resort burst heal to keep the frontlines alive which is nice.

So I guess it's all downhill from here, huh.

What score do you give to this update?
for me it's 5/10

I want to see inside paladins meeting room

How is this different from his normal attack? more damage and less AoeE?

I give it based/10.

ranged

Fire shots, as simple as that.
think in runic blast before the nerf.

If you want echo chamber boycott go to >>>reddit, I'm still willing to give a game I like a second chance

If only it was AoE though, I'd rather stick to bomb and average heals

>you can stay on the roof forever as drogoz
nice

turns you into torvald. no fall-off
ignoring all of this cards unbound shit, it'd be a neat legendary to use if you want to make fernando work on vertical and large maps if they didn't keep the normal lance firing animation layered ontop of the projectiles firing
i can't aim them for shit with all of the visual clutter lmao

>every champ feels like complete garbage in bound
>unbound is literally pay to win
I don't understand why anyone would say anything good about this patch

>I'm still willing to give a game I like a second chance
third

dont forget to buy lots of crystals fellow Paladin!

Where can I read about the new lore?

oh no you cant cheese your way to victory in bound
how will anyone ever recover

>Needing high level cards to be good
>Not being able to beat someone with "objectively" better cards
/palg/

lol

I'm not gonna do that because I don't like the way they responded to the controversy, but I still like the game too much.

Feel free to post a video of you using shit cards and winning against someone with better cards! Oh wait.

>choose the most meme vivian cards
>still win
leave placebo at the door~

Never give up!

I assume they're all dumb kids like that one from twitter someone posted awhile back.

Ok anyone else think this is intentional what they're doing?
>stopping quests
>blatant p2w
>not including lore
>no attempts at pr
It can't be simply unlucky that this is happening? It has to be deliberate.

>We cant figure out how to put some text in the game
guys better buy some more chests to help out the devs!

it's going to be half-assed and rushed, isn't it?

Never attribute to malice what can be done with incompetency.

quests are still a thing
p2w isn't forced
lore is sheer incompetence
they've attempted pr multiple times lol

>lowrez strikes deal with China huge company
>China is really big on the pay to win sector and wont settle on anything else
>Pays insane amounts of money for the IP
>thing is they dont want gooks fleeing to the EU and american servers to escape the p2w
>therefore western version of the game must be similar

IIII'M NUCLEEEEEAR IIIII'M WIIIIILD, PALADINS IS BREAKING UUUP INSIIIIIIDE

Can anyone make a collab of the new animations when you select a champion?

>tfw a literal nobody called it a week ago
youtu.be/RpLqcuDEj7Q

>It still believes this conspiracy theory
Literally no one wants it, not even the chinese.

Unlike you I actually have a source to prove that gooks love p2w.

slideshare.net/StephanieLlamas/super-data-deliverable-digital-games-spending-in-asiaworldpayv34

If it doesn't bug the fuck out, it is really good for healing IF people are there for the shatter.

>new
Most of them have been in the game for ages
They just removed them from most places, I think they were still used when you first spawned into a match

We already had a discussion about this last thread. Hirez denies it. Tencent denies it. Chinese slam it for being p2w and unbalanced. Check last thread, it had sources as well.

Some of them got replaced like Tyra's one, every champions released after the select screen change also got its own unique animation

>Fucking uploading a bunch of text is hard guys.

>Hirez denies it. Tencent denies it.
Well I guess its case closed then! Silly me for doubting our overlords.

I think so yeah. They've been talking about lore coming soon for over a year now, and for it to end up just being some paragraphs under the champions info section makes me think it's gonna be disappointing

Yeah better believe facts from people who pull them out of their ass. Silly me.

The only fact around here is that ob64 is pay to win and that they really really really want to keep it this way. And yes you are silly.

So is it too late to try out Battleborn?

>Not even the point
Okay.

randy was playing the long game all along

these clowns can't even get a fucking paragraph of text to work (more likely holt ran out of time to write the lore then them having technical difficulties tbqh, but whatever)
this isn't a car crash anymore. this is a train thats fallen off of it's rails

why aint it dead yet? why aint the patch live yet? i'll miss Mal Dingus, best champ

Want something pointy to suck on?

the game was in much worse state before lmao stop being giant babies

it was pay to win before too?

>Being in an even buggier state is better than before

wow

I remember them saying about 1 month ago that lore wasn't on high on the priority list

it was fun before, fuck you

>Can't get essence without purchasing chests
Yes.

The only fact here is it's very likely LoRez was bleeding money with the old system. Cosmetics weren't enough to keep it afloat and those dumb enchanted keys sold like shit because everyone realized they're not worth it. Also, playerbase keeps dropping, but I'll let you be the judge of why that is.
There's no mystery here anymore, they're intent on doing this maximum overjew system only to see how it affects user accessibility and retention, and fucking over the entirety of the veteran players in the process. The latter is where they majorly, MAJORLY fucked up because it went beyond just pissing us off, and it evolved into a full blown witchhunt by every forum, and admittedly it was all their fault.
The matter at hand here is us veterans (ie. people that have more than two braincells to understand the old mechanics) are a minority, and they don't really care to please us when the big bucks and big populations is the average dumbfuck player.
Call it a calculated backlash if you want, they absolutely knew every person more than moderately invested already in the game would be pissed, but they did it in favor of winning over more new oblivious people and old ones that don't care at all.

And hey, imagine the system doesn't work out and they keep bleeding money and players. What do you think they might do then? Kill the game for good? Revert this trash and start again from zero? Who knows, but I bet it'd be fun to watch a second trainwreck because you just know people will have invested in their precious level 10 cards and they'll get taken away.

Yep

>t. joined during ob63 babby

Reminder that Kinessa is best girl and Ying is never consipated.

>The only fact here
ok tell me user!
>is it's very likely
very likely? thats not what a fact is. Stopped reading there.Suck a dick.

I just played a match and it was fun in bound.

Your mom was fun in bound.

Compelling argument, user. I'm impressed.

You forgot to post a retarded wojak user

i joined when Mal Damba was added, ya mongrel, kill yourself already.

>We are sure that it is kind of sure

that isn't p2w
you get gold playing and you can buy essence with that gold

You CAN'T buy essence. You have to buy radiants for a chance to get essence (which has garbage trade off by the way, 1000 to craft, 350 to disenchant). If you're telling me that you can't use the cards you want because you aren't opening enough chests isn't pay to win, then CU isn't pay to win.

Demoliition counters Deathballs with shields and Accelerant counters Deathballs withouts shields so what is the point of Royal Subjects?

So many problems, so little replies.

dead
game

>salvo bug is back
This is fucking embarrassing

Ob64 is literally the best patch ever. Stop being such big babies and GET GUD. REAL GAMERS NEVER GIVE UP.

Nice face reveal user.

spotted the shill

The obvious real reasons are either:
A) they didn't have all the lore ready, even with all the delays, so they blame it on bugs or

B) they actually forgot to add them before packing the update/overwrote a build with the lore ready with one that has the placeholder text by accident and they said "fuck it" and went with it, blaming it on bug

same person

STANDING
ON THE QUEUE
OF THE SIEGE MODE

no, raynday, you can't use that word to insult to others.

punished holt edit when

literally after things got better
no wonder you think 64 is LIKE DA WORST EVER UGH MOM

So are tanks useless right now? Everyone does insane damage.

name one (1) patch worse than 64

Duck and Cover Mike.

yes except ive seen 1 good term build but otherwise yeah useless especially if tyra is in the game and no one deals with her (because you sure as hell can't get close as a tank)

everything before hirez started turning this into a legit OW clone

shit was ROUGH

the one where they deleted ruckus because hurr durr two shield to hard

>deleting ruckus
>bad

fuck you ruckus is bae

bad*

ruckus went from being so fucking good to "why bother" SO FAST - you didn't even get much time to enjoy him

you sick fuck

He's one of the best tanks in the OB63 meta though.

yeah, in gold
