/palg/ - Paladins General

Nando's lore best lore.

shes really cute

Sha lin is a filthy slut that loves tyrant dick!

>"At last, we are Paladins: Champions of the Realm."

Old because it actually fits Pip's personality and voice lines. New one just makes him sound like some guy who stumbled around for adventure and chose to become a Sonic character-tier freedom fighter, and then for some reason he's not trustworthy despite nothing in his lore implying that he's a thief or bad at all.

>as well as how long she can really hope to keep the vengeful elemental contained.
New ultimate ult when?

I offer ten bucks for killing Erez, can she mak it happen?

>some people said it wasn't a Overwatch ripoff
lol

more lore when?

I liked it better when I thought the whole thing was meant to be a big tournament and not some dumb war

Cassie old lore
>Raised in Cobalt Keep and daughter to the legendary huntmaster Arturos, Cassie snuck away from home to find adventure and freedom. Armed with her Father's crossbow and joined by her childhood companion Zigs, Cassie enters the lands of Crosswind Hold ready for any challenge.

Cassie new lore
>Watching all her friends leave the Greenwood to join the fight against the Magistrate, Cassie lamented the curse that bound her bloodline to her family's homeland. When a mysterious oracle offered her an escape from her obligations, she jumped at the chance, even though she knew the sacrifice she made would haunt her. Taking nothing but her father's enchanted crossbow and her faithful hunting bird, Zigs, she raced off to join the Paladins in their resistance against the draconian Magistrate.

The new lore doesn't fit some of the characters and is somehow less flavorful than the old lore. Also, Skye is evil? What the fuck?

I'm under the assumption that there's more to each character with the lore quests, and there'll be a second/third/fourth/fifth one for each champ that fleshes them out.

>fucked Zhin to get his trust
>then fucking betrayed the whole guild
What a champ.

But user, religion is obviously evil, that's why everything is a golem now.
Boltanis? Golem.
BK? Golem.
Terminus and Inara? Golems instead of a race of stone people shorn from the cliffs of the Earth itself.
Grover? Tree golem.
Seris? Abyss golem.
Jenos? Star golem.
Skye, Ying, and Maeve? Slut golems.
Everything is golems.

Its obvious that with services, her thieving skills were meant since they were mentioned beforehand
but low IQ niggers will shitpost (like (You)) about it. Same with Ying or Skye.
that would be Skye. Maeve just steals shit. And then she steals from her employee.

Ruckus old lore
>Upon his death, the majestic Elven King Boltanas bound his soul into the blade T'lonmar, so that he might forever defend his kingdom from the Goblin Hordes of Ozmendar. Ruckus found his blade, melted it down, and built his war machine from it. Many think being bound to a goblin would be insufferable, and "Bolt" would agree... and he makes sure Ruckus never forgets it.

Ruckus new lore
>While toiling in the gold mines, a particularly wily and inventive goblin named Ruckus stumbled upon the long-lost mind-stone of a fallen war golem. He installed the relic into his mechanical digging suit, hoping it would provide the suit with enough power to outperform the other miners. But he was surprised when the the ancient sentience reawakened and brought the suit to life. Though it resented its situation, its pilot, and the name it was given, Bolt nonetheless agreed to a tentative partnership, one that freed them both to scour the Realm in search of fame, fortune, and upgrades.

Cassie is still a happy-go-lucky girl with a bow in voicelines. She never mentioms a curse. New lore is wierd here

I did too. it was simple and to the point, and it fit the name "Paladins."

>assassin
>evil
>this comes as a shock

I wish I had some slut golems.

>When a mysterious oracle offered her an escape from her obligations, she jumped at the chance, even though she knew the sacrifice she made would haunt her.
Cassie confirmed for having ties with Seris?

SEETHING

wtf does religion have to do with anything

Skye old lore
>Most assassins prefer to remain anonymous, but Skye thrives on the fame, and lives in the center of attention. Trained by fabled monks of Silver Moon, and outcast for violating each of her sacred vows in meticulous order, Skye enters the fight to much speculation. Whoever her next target, wives should be mindful of their husbands, for it's said a single glance from Skye can destroy a man's pants.

Skye new lore
>Noble by birth, Skye abandoned a life of luxury and wealth to pursue her dreams of excitement and adventure. During her time spent on the streets, interacting with the criminal underworld of the Realm, she discovered a natural talent and boundless passion for killing. When her career as a contract assassin brought her fame and fortune, she caught the Magistrate's attention and now serves as one of Grand Magister Karne's closest advisors. To her the War of the Realm is just a long-term contract, one that won't end until the last of the Paladins are dealt with.

Everyone is golems!
YOU CAN'T FUGG THE GOLEMS, SHIT

>tfw discord still not in op

Tyra
What even is a gorlock
Raised to shoot straight and survive the harsh winters of the frontier, Tyra signed on with the Magistrate army at a young age. After the Sentinels' disastrous final mission, she returned to her homeland to make a living tracking down the monstrous threats to the common folk that lurked beyond the fringes of the Realm. Her unyielding stamina and pinpoint accuracy with the rifle serve her well in her new role: helping the Resistance fight back against the Magistrate and bring an end to the war that rages across the Realm.
-

So.. Tyra has been retconned and is now a former member of Viktor's unit like Strix, but she went rogue after their "final mission" failed.

>Skye is a fake elf psychopath
Worst girl.

Good, we don't need more cancer

here

>Used to make fun of overwatch because there were clear sides in the lore but the gameplay never aligned with that
>Now paladins has that same problem
fug

>So.. Tyra has been retconned and is now a former member of Viktor's unit like Strix
we knew this for a while

By making Inara and Terminus golems instead of a race of people, they're cutting out any reference of an Earth mother-type druidic religion.
Snek religion is okay, but very ill-defined.
What is it with Jews making golems only to kill them in the end?

Overwatch's gameplay is non-canon to the story
The same probably applies here

the last time i went into a palg discord it was full of low elo babbys and some cringy furry mod that was creeping on people so its probably for the best

>Viktor took the blame for what happened during their final mission, was stripped of his rank, and reassigned to a lower position by Grand Magister Karne.
Viktor did nothing wrong.

what kind of fucking backstory is
"uhh, well she slept but then some guys said she'd promised to help them so she groggily got out of bed but then some other faggots came along and did something bad and now it's on"
anyway?

>Skye is some kind of barely restrained psychopathic murderess
>Cassie's entire bloodline is cursed and then she made some deal with the devil to escape it and is tortured by the knowledge
>The rock people are just golems made by druids or some gay shit
>Lian allied with the Magistrate while Zhin crawled his way up from the gutter after his family was deposed, so he's actually an anti-hero while Lian is just a cunt

What in the actual fuck

Then why did you run, coward?

>tfw there is a folk legend where you live, about some dudes sleeping in the mountains, promising to come back if shit's gets real

>finally release lore
>people don't like it because it's not their fan fiction
lul

>Androxus is some cop who got cursed by some bitch and became a vampire
>Viktor is just a Russian Soldier 76

nando being evil is the worst part of the lore

this lore is literally written like fan fiction my dude

Sleeping too much? Wtf, i love Inara now

tell me the whole story

Reminder that slut Ying is canon.

My lore where Maeve is a prostitute was much better.

>clear sides in the lore
I don't know what you're complaining about, because literally every big multiplayer game with lore does it (dota arguably the exception, but sides are still split in radiant/dire).

Even the shitty /palg/ay fanfiction that was full of sex slaves and gays was better than this shit.

>he doesn't like sex slaves

no

>Once a noble lawman of the Outer Tribunal circuit judges, Androxus and his former partner, Lex
>not Sha Lin
The fuck? Do Lex and Andro don't even acknowledge each other. Lex only has lines mocking Bomb King. Sha Lin at least mentions Andro.

She sells her ''services'''.

>hurrr they both have pistols so I guess they are the same
actual lowrez loremaker

But the /palg/ lore is literally the exact same as the official lore.

>Sha Lin fucks his way to the top and breaks Zhin's heart
>Ying was a harem slave
>Zhin going around Rance-ing all over the realm
>Maeve still growing up on the streets so she still might've fucked old men

I still hold my headcanon that Maeve is secretly a princess and it's going to be revealed later on.

>Lian is just a cunt

This was always the case.

So there are some mountains, and they kinda look like dudes, and people say that they are really dudes, legit knights that are just sleeping, and they will wake up when the time is dire to protect the land. Kinda like Paladins stagalla part of the lore, kek.

What about Grohk? Is he still a zapper of fire orcs?

>terminus can never get it on with Inara since she's sleeping all the time

oh wait.They are fucking living statues created by some faggot and can't actually fuck

Not even a loli champ could save Paladins now. Maybe two loli champs

Lore only unlocked through arcade?

>I still hold my headcanon that Maeve is secretly a princess and it's going to be revealed later on.
i really want this to happen

>willo is 3 years old
EVERYONE WHO DRAWS WILLO PORN IS A LITERAL BABYFUCKER

I unlocked it with a bot match

We already knew this though.
And she only lives for one or two more years so she's pretty much an adult.

You'll get one 500 year old loli with a lewd skin.

Who here /magistratescum/

Soul of a thousand year old fae idgaf

trAsh's lore is just that she is just some mad bitch.

There aren't any different orcs type now
There's only one orc race and Grohk is now The Chosen Oneᵗᵐ

>Seris
>A patron of the abyss
>A being from beyond the void, Seris has taken the name of the city she completely destroyed upon first setting foot in the world of the living. Draining the souls of her enemies and occasionally restoring them to her allies, however, pales in comparison to her unnatural prescience, granting her the ability to see into the past and predict the future all at once. She appears here and there in time and space, always at the opportune moment to change the course of events toward some unknown but seemingly inevitable fate.

This is fine

I'm not about to give up my love for her just because you're misconstruing her story to fit your twisted minds.
I now know she fights for what is fair, and unfortunately it is not uncommon to find enemies when you do that.
Everyone saying she has committed lowly acts while in her hardships is being rather immature and could not possibly be further away from the truth.
Frankly this lore in general is really strange and contradicts like 90% of the vague information stablished in the voicelines. I really thought Holt would do better.

>Nando was born as a peasant
>not only he's a knight now
>he will probably get some noble magistrate pussy soon
>and since he LITERALLY CANNOT DIE he will probably survive the whole shit, marry some noble hoe and live happily ever after
I'm 100% happy with lore so far.

That's the only explanation for this shitty writing of his lore. Lex and Andro don't even seem slightly related. I could easily imagine Sha Lin and Andro being a couple of buds adventuring, but then ventured into some tuomb where Andro grabbed the gun that was some cursed relic. This lore with LEx makes no sense and doesn't even fit Andro's personality.

ur waifu a sex slave

>Beg for lore
>Finally get it
>REEE NOT MUH HEADCANON HOW COULD YOU DO THIS

the lore is too vague

D-dyou guys suppose they m-might actually call the VAs again?

Andro going from 'there can be no life without order' to 'death awaits you all' real quick kinda makes sense considering he's a soul starved corrupted cop tbqh

Andro doesn't seem like a soul vampire at all. His old lore where he killed a god and it changed him worked better than some shitty ass vampire curse.

Can you imagine how many bandits creampied in Ying? The bandit king might have dozens or even hundreds of bandits under him.

>A being from beyond the void, Seris has taken the name of the city she completely destroyed upon first setting foot in the world of the living
That's kinda badass.
And I sense a great angst potential in this one line. Delightful.

Evie has a hard life

^ fuck off

...

I always knew that Ying is actually heartless.

Shota lore the same?

I always knew that Ying is a sex slave
