You mean Junkrat isn't an Overwatch character?
I've been lied to this whole time.
Been trying this game out for around 2 days. Despite my laptop being a bit of a toaster, it runs smoothly (20-30 FPS as long discord isn't up). I gotta say, I'm really digging Fernando's playstyle.

But Junkrat is Tavish Degroot, not Bomb King
[QUOTE=Rats808;51107351]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.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, both GB and Skye's ult are LoS based. If your behind any kind of geography (Including the payload), you'll be safe. I just think that shields (Fernando, Barick, Makoa) should be able to block Skye's ult like you can GB.
Nothing like rushing to the point, plopping you shield down and then turning around to see that literally no ones behind you to help.

50% of my games consist of most of the players not fighting anywhere near the point.
50% of my games involve the 4 other members on my team instalocking flankers and damage.
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;51107776]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.[/QUOTE]
I think bad level design is just becoming a staple of the genre. It's still beta technically so idk maybe the practice range will be made decent eventually
Also aside from fernando (the reinhardt like guy) there really isn't many uncanny similarities. Guys hooking other guys has been in games forever, and aside from that their kits are pretty different. Overwatch does destroy these characters when it comes to characterization though, lots of small dialogue and banter in overwatch that really flesh out the characters.
The game places you against bots until you're level 5 btw. I wish they'd tell people that but meh.
Grover's axes are insane

"5 wins for the engie skin, no problem, shouldn't take more than an afternoon"
I have lost 8 matches.
[QUOTE=Keychain;51109022]Grover's axes are insane[/QUOTE]
I have a feeling they'll nerf Grover in the future, he's easily the best healer atm.
[QUOTE=Kowalski;51107749]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.[/QUOTE]
it will get a new hero each month according to hirez. might wanna buy founders pack while its cheap
[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;51109176]I have a feeling they'll nerf Grover in the future, he's easily the best healer atm.[/QUOTE]
I honestly prefer Pip.
Grover's not bad, but his heal basically requires you to be in the center of every engagement in order to keep your team alive, but then you're just as likely to die, or waste the burst heal on yourself when nobody else needs it and then be unable to heal them when they do.
Pip, on the other hand, can heal from a decent distance away, and has a good self-heal/escape that also makes for good guerrilla tactics(I'm nowhere near dead, and now I'm hopping all over the place shooting explosions at you and healing any damage you do manage to hit me with!).
imagine not thinking grohk is the best support
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;51109704]imagine not thinking grohk is the best support[/QUOTE]
Grohk probably has the best non-ult heal if you can keep his totem up. A team with Grohk, Fernando, and another front line is a hard wall too break. Especially when Grohk is always slowing you with his right click.
He also has big fingers!
I am so tired of every single match having our team consist of completely useless cassie/skye/kinessa, usually with androxus as our fourth guy. EVERY TIME. I want to play Pip, but these fuckers are always hiding in some nook and cranny nowhere NEAR the point, meanwhile the entire enemy team consists of frontliners completely hogging the point.
I hate flankers so goddamn much. Please, PLEASE give me some tanks to heal. Give me fernando, give me mokoa. SOMEONE. I would go tank myself if I didn't know it would be completely pointless. I'm pretty bad as a tank, and I really enjoy being Pip when I have someone actually backing me up.
This game really lacks those indicators that tell you what your team needs like in Overwatch.
I feel like most players in this game don't know what a tank and support are.
the problem for me right now is that if i play a support character my team is useless as fuck so we can't get anything done
it feels more effective to just take a character who gets kills and then try to kill as many people as possible to get the win
the problem for me is that nobody hears my battlecry of fury
So I noticed that in the last update, they made everyone have a generic VGS voice, but I sometimes hear people use the VGS that plays their character's voice.
Is there a way to re-unlock those or is that just a bug that happens sometimes?

You sure it's not the taunt, joke and laugh ones? If not, then it may as well be a bug.

Tried the game. Pretty cool.
I always forget my ultimate is ready tought so every single time i never use it.
Skye/Viktor/ My boys drogoz are really fun to play.
Drogoz jetpack is some serious useless bullshit if you don't use your ability because it's so slow.
Skye smoke is useless most of the time.
I'm sad by the lack of Bomb King fan art.
