Goddamn they even kept the loot crate system? At least leave the bad parts behind.
Honestly even the first trailer made this game look generic, especially the art style.
hahah it's like they didn't even try

And I thought that Overwatch was borrowing alot from TF2(from what I saw, haven't played it).
Now this feels like one of those chinese knock off games.

i've not played it either, but my impression is that while the core concept is the same under a similar art-style, the characters are unique enough to make for a completely different gameplay strategy
paladins used to be actually decent before patch 0.12 where they rebalanced the entire game, took out more than half the cards so character builds were stagnated, people died in 2-3 shots instead of 10, and made it super obvious they were trying to aim at the overwatch crowd.
all the characters released after overwatch came out are blatantly obvious in their inspirations and almost every single one of their weapons were hitscan instead of projectile-based like the rest of the roster.
Wow, absolutely no shame.
the moba craze all over again

Too many game devs have been doing this lately. One of my favorite games, NS2 has publically stated they're going to copy overwatch and have broken the hitboxes on purpose and added floating healthbars breaking half the game in the process.
While I do know that this is mostly a joke video, I don't really think it's fair since he cherry picked a lot of examples.
Like the part with Androxus (The revolver guy) for example: Yes, he does have a revolver with an alt fire that shoots multiple shots (Not the full clip though) , but that's only thing he has that's similar to McCree. Everything else he does is completely different. He left out the parts where he can air dash, store damage done to him to return it back, can hover in mid-air, and his ultimate that makes his next 3 shots explosive.
A lot of the examples he showed were just one abilities they had in common with their "OW counterpart". Almost all the other abilities are very different. Yeah, Fernando is pretty similar to Reinhardt, but I would say that he's the only that comes the closest to being a "ripoff".
I like both games (Though I've played OW a lot more than Paladins) and I think they're different enough to each other. Just like how LoL and Dota are different enough from each other. Do I think Paladins will succeed? I don't know. But I do think it is a pretty fun game in its own rights.
hi-rez really steals? no dignity

Don't know about you but I am sold on that, I haven't touched on overwatch after getting a season 2 level it just feels like a chore to me now. And this one's f2p that still beats p2p any day of the week.

wait wait, NS2 as in Natural Selection 2? overwatch doesnt even fit that fucking game whatsoever
As much as I actually enjoyed playing Paladins, there really is not sugar coating it.
Maybe hirez should have stuck with tribes.

they broke even, not to mention it was their fault to begin with.
Holy fuck the guy with the chain's animations look so ridiculously close to Roadhog's
Looks like Hi-Rez finally found their vocation in just copying whatever's popular at the moment

The girl with the bow (i.e: [URL="http://paladins.gamepedia.com/Cassie"]Cassie[/URL]) has animations that eerily resemble Hanzo's almost to a T as well.
Obviously not claiming plagiarism right away, but you know, food for thought if that's indeed the case.

that boring ultimate though

yes if you like high resolution smooth round objects, no if you appreciate detail and realistic depth
I just played a match of this game and the character do have similarites but the game plays very differently from Overwatch. I ended up with 96 kills and 6 deaths as the Soldier character and it never really felt like I was playing with a team, just making kills for myself and we just happen to be standing near the payload together. It was fun though i'll admit that.
it would be a great game if the cards were passive effects that you had to come up with a specific build to suit your playstyle, but they would have to do more balance and it would probably be pay-to-win. the cards as active effects actually play quite badly

that's how it used to be in the past before they did this burn card system. the cards were passive effects like "increase the duration of this ability" or "this ability now fires 3 times instead of once"
