Came back for the first time since it first released, has improved a lot but I don't see how it will be really taken seriously. I mean all of the new characters I have seen have had their kits shamelessly ripped from Overwatch/Battleborn and mashed together and the gameplay is fairly uninspired.
Stomped for 4 games and on the 5th found a really obvious aimbotter on Soldier 78 and we still managed to win (Googled his unique username and found videos of him obviously cheating in multiple games over the years)
Also the lag comp and hitbox sizes or whatever aren't great atm, good luck trying to dodge behind corners just to be consistently sniped like a full second later and even have the kill cam show them shooting thin air and getting a kill.

I could talk about how Paladins (originally Global Assault) has been a thing for a long time even before a build of Battleborn or Overwatch were available to the public, and how all of these skills are insanely generic but god knows you won't change your mind so I won't bother.
Are you sure you weren't just lagging yourself? You can check your ping by pressing F9. Also the replay system is still rather new and in the works, which is why now and then you'll notice things like people running in the wrong direction or running into walls instead of around them.

Nah I'm on fiber and literally never have connection problems. It was either the server or the other player lagging and the game allows a big shooter's advantage. I noticed it a few times mostly using the sniper or bow+arrow where I'd die like 0.5s after getting into full cover to someone that isn't even visible.
Also yeah I know Global Assault has been in development a long time and I'm still a bit salty that as far as I know it replaced Global Agenda 2. I have played all HiRez' games day 1 since the first alpha phases of Global Agenda around 2009.
Still though is there any evidence that any of these newer characters that were released in the last 5 months after the originals are so were in development way before OW was announced?
It seems like a mighty big coincidence that basically every character they released this year can be matched up ability wise (With some tweaks here and there) with a character from Overwatch as well as the gameplay and mechanics feeling like it has moved a bit closer to Overwatch.
Not saying the game has 0 redeeming qualities and should never be played, but even if they didn't take 'inspiration' from Overwatch they should have had the sense to know that having a bunch of characters that are suspiciously like Overwatch characters (Tanky char with a hook in one hand and gun in the other, edgy grim reaper inspired flanker, flying rocket person with a knockback and can barrage rockets, bomb dude who can roll into the enemy team as a bomb and blow up, soldier dude that can sprint and throw explosives etc) would make a lot of people say 'lol dont play this dumb overwatch clone', as stupid as it is...More so after Battleborn characters were called copies of OW characters despite Battleborn being in development and some of there characters being announced/shown before Overwatch was even announced to the public (Or at least any of their characters shown)
Will probably come back to it and play with friends but I can't really see it having much longevity for me, Overwatch fills the niche of casual hero shooter for me perfectly so I'm not really sure what Paladins can bring to the table to change that.
the introduction of hitscan characters is so awful

Are the servers down or are me and my friend just unlucky? The launcher just 'connects to authentication server' without actually doing anything, and the server thingy says UNKNOWN

Same here. The devs acknowledged the problem and are investigating.

Yeah it seemed to be down for me most of yesterday, today is fine though !
Is starter casual PvE or PvP ?? Because they are extremely easy but it shows 10 ready checks.

Are you referring to the middle card? That is for the character [url=http://paladins.gamepedia.com/Ying]Ying[/url]. She was removed temporarily because of issues and is getting reworked for, I believe, the next patch.

Yeah, she had to be toggled off due to some bugs. She is being readded with patch 34 along with the [url=https://paladins.gamepedia.com/Payload]Payload[/url] game mode. She'll have the ability to place illusions that act as heal bots, and switch places with those illusions to move around.

It's a little late but until you're level 5 it's against bots.
Also I just downloaded this game and I think its decent thus far. My main problems are probably just beta related to balance and lack of modes, I heard they had other modes that got taken out so that they could be worked on which I hope is true. Even if the balance is ridiculous I think some 10v10 deathmatch/domination would be fun diversity. And I like the typical hi-rez style of letting you just buy all the characters at a reasonable price.
I have a spare Evie skin code (I think its black ice), PM me if anyone wants it.

Apart from payload (that should be comng back with the next update), there was also a Survival mode (it was kind of like an arena mode, but that also had a death fog to prevent matches from going on forever). Both had a fair amount of people playing them before they were toggled off.

They also briefly had a match of the day queue like in Smite, but there were some bugs that needed to be pached so it was removed. I have no clue if this one is coming back though.

does skye's ult have any visual cues for range other than the bomb indicator and the red lines that come out of the explosion?
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;51104333]does skye's ult have any visual cues for range other than the bomb indicator and the red lines that come out of the explosion?[/QUOTE]
The aoe indicator and the ui makers, and the sound effects tell you where it is, how big it is. The ui indicator for the bomb also tell you if you are in danger or safe (looks red if it'll hit you, yellow if it won't). Pretty much every champion can escape her ult with their movement skill.
Can't even launch the game...it's demanding .net 3.5 or something and Windows just hangs on "downloading required files."
Androxous feels like he's too good. He's a hitscan hero with a lot of damage and mobility. It's a perfect cocktail. Even mccree from overwatch lacked mobility but he was still the top dps hero.
I've gotta say, I really do love that revolver for that demonic champion. I really hope they make it a promo item for TF2.
[QUOTE=Malvodion;51104344]Pretty much every champion can escape her ult with their movement skill.[/QUOTE]
Maybe, if you're already a decent distance from the bomb and looking away from it when it goes off.
If you're right where she drops it, or you hesitate for ever a second, though, you're fucking dead. There's no out-healing it, and there's barely any warning for it.
Shit desperately needs a nerf.

I would like it if all shield skills could block it. You can block Grumpy Bomb and most ults, not sure why you can't block hers.

Grumpy Bomb is Bomb King's Q; his ult turns him into a bomb that rolls around until he explodes.
Also I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Payload might block it. I've had a few games where I dropped it by the payload while it was surrounded, and then ran away/died, only for nobody to get killed.

Skye's ult, that is, not Grumpy Bomb.
Makoa was super worth the extra gold, he and bomb king are my favourites so far. Also, will xing cost 5k on her release or will she be 7.5k?

I'd assume Ying will be 5k cause she was only temporarily disabled, but these are the same guys who disabled unique voice commands indefinitely to make them purchasable in the future so who knows.
Playing this + Overwatch, I really love both games, I think Paladins is a nice alternative and can really work well even with Overwatch in the market.
Hope they'll polish this and add a fuck tons of heroe.

overwatch doesn't have bomb king so it stands a chance
I gave this a shot the other day and I was just blown away by how bad it was. The level design is dull, the characters are bland, the combat is squishy and unbalanced, character models are bad - I mean holy shit, one of the characters breasts jiggle around like goddamn half-empty water balloons from just the idle animation.
The matchmaking system seemed broken, I'm not sure if I actually faced other players or bots and oh my LORD the practice range was literally just a box-up of a layout and it blows my mind that they decided to ship it like that.
All that on top of being a pretty shameless Overwatch clone (blatantly so in a lot of cases - like wow, Roadhog and Reinherdt are literally [I]right [/I][I]there[/I]).
And yet it was somehow fun to play. I'm 99.9% sure the fact it's free-to-play is probably contributing to that. I don't feel the scrutiny of having spent money on anything. Which probably wouldn't hold up in the long run if I was to continue playing this seeing how half of the content is locked behind microtransactions.
I'mma go back to playing the good Overwatch now.
