      ​@@nidium1951okay but paladins. Still has a long road to go. It just doesn't run as well as overwatch does, it doesn't look as good as overwatch does. The settings are still pretty barebones in comparison fo overwatch. And There is still no dedicated replay viewer.
      And this is a thing that I don't think many players of paladins think about. The lighting and shadowing is very poor. Luckily they have very distinct character silhouettes so visibility isn't as bad as stuff like apex or warzone. But it becomes extremely obvious during team fights with alot of ults and particle effects being thrown around. All the bright colors tend to blend together and it becomes very difficult to aim. Overwatch has this issue too. Just not to the same level that paladins does. Next time you play overwatch and you see a big ult fight happen. Really pay attention to how much you can actually see during the fight. And then play paladins and make the comparison.

    • @RizePlus

      I'm having a similar issue, same thing with the account merging since they shutdown the game on the Switch a few months ago... but instead of me trying to play it on a different console, I tried it on my PC and it basically forced me to create a "new" account. So, my 3 and a half (almost 4) years worth of progress from champion unlocks, skins, customizations, etc... is all gone now.
      To say that I'm "disappointed" would be an understatement, as it's beyond that point for me now. The fact that they would've rather (and DID) shutdown Paladins on Switch, instead of trying to fix the major amount of bugs that they had within the game... it just baffles me. Super upsetting, but I guess we have no choice but to do what we can & deal with it, as it is.

      @isaacargesmith8217 Месяц назад +3

      time to kill tends to be a lot slower since cauterize sorta forces a lot of damage to be lower to be a bit fairer vs heals. You also just have more options because of loadouts, talents, and items to help with that. Characters can honestly be more mobile than OW characters imo tho. Stuff like VII, certain dredge lodouts, vora, and so on usually can just clear entire maps. Maps also often are a bit compact like most seige maps too for instance so its easier to get around. Mounts also help less mobile characters rejoin the game fast too, helps make it less of a respawn sim so you still can actually play the game some even if you're losin a lot.

Met a friend at college who'd played Paladins since launch, i had dipped my toes in when it was new, and convinced me to play with him just in time for me to lose faith in Blizzard. Been playing Paladins since, as you saw the devs are active in the community, put out polls asling what the community wants to see changed (and they listen), and the character depth is massive. Theres a lot to know, and that experienced friend made the transition a lot easier, but overall, the game has its merits.

    I've been playing Paladins since 2016 and currently play both Overwatch and Paladins. I admit that I didn't expect a Paladins video on your channel.
    The community is very small, and since people always say "lol overwatch is better" even without having played, this video made me very happy.
    I think everyone who plays both games would agree with this, and yes, the game is extremely underrated. We would also be very happy if any more Paladins videos appeared. And that's it.
    Have a good day.
    And peace guys, both games are fun and both are good with very crucial gameplay differences.
    (I don't know if you'll continue playing at some point, but if you do, I recommend looking at a character called Zhin. He's like a cockroach, and extremely fun.)

      @RuanRicardoNN Месяц назад +3

      @@GRUC1O - Let's take it easy, ok?
      First, the build system.
      You can, to some extent, customize a character according to how you feel comfortable. Drogoz, for example. I can make a build to fly infinitely, or another to kill and run, or another just to spam damage. Can you understand? I can play my way. In Overwatch, each character has a specific way of playing, and this limits it a bit, because everyone who plays well with a certain character plays the same way, but in Paladins that doesn't happen. Following Drogoz's example, you can have one on your team and one against you. They both play very well, but the way they both play and the builds are completely different, with their own advantages and disadvantages.
      This is without taking into account the items, which you normally buy to complete your build. Item that makes me charge my Ult faster, or that reduces the cooldown of skills, or that increases my movespeed when I get an elimination, and so on.
      Second, "counters".
      In Overwatch, if the guy is your counter you simply won't be able to do anything no matter how well you play and you are forced to change characters. Tank, for example, plays on the counterswap basis.
      In Paladins, even if you are against a counter you can still play for two reasons. Firstly, in my opinion, your ability is a little more valued, because of the builds and because there is no absolute counter.
      Also because of the items. If I'm against a character that gives me a lot of CC to the point where I can't do anything, I can buy an item that reduces the duration of that. So if I'm playing Raum, for example, who is a character that is heavily countered by CC, I can buy an item that reduces the duration and in the end I won't be so harmed or be a dead weight for the team. This is extremely important.
      Third, the teams.
      In Paladins, you are not required to take any specific class. I won't deny that it's more practical when you have at least one of each, for example, but it's not mandatory. So if you want you can make a team with 4 Tanks and 1 Sup, or 5 Sup, or 3 DPS and 2 Tanks, and you can potentially win. And since there is the issue of builds, you are not locked into an archetype. Take the character you think will work, and go.
      In Overwatch, in addition to having defined classes (which isn't exactly a problem), it has defined archetypes and the entire match is based on that. If the team is rush or brawl, for example, the characters that work in this archetype, the issue is that if the guy doesn't get a character that fits, the team feels the match getting heavier, you know? And this ALWAYS happens. So there are games, for example, where people talk about Tank Diff, but the problem is the support that doesn't work with that tank and puts the blame on someone else or that archetype, or the DPS that doesn't accompany the tank. Can you understand when I say it like that? This is a discouraging problem.
      Fourth, balancing.
      In my opinion, Overwatch's balancing is seasonal and the game can NEVER be fair. So if we're in the Poke meta, you HAVE to play within that meta or you won't play well because everything else is very weak. They buff what doesn't need it and nerf what doesn't need it. I remember a buff that Brigg and Mei received (it was a while ago) that my only reaction was: "Why the fuck did someone decide to buff her?".
      In Paladins, for example, there is a character, more than one in fact, who has not received a buff or nerf for almost a year. And it's harder to balance, because of the builds.
      The idea of balancing is to nerf what is very strong and buff what is very weak so that all characters are viable, with the difference being that there are characters that are more niche, and there are others that do a little bit of everything.
      Fifth, the community.
      Both games have problems in the community, but Overwatch's is a little worse because it's the type that insists on mistakes. The Overwatch community, for example, has two extremes. There are those who insist on playing with a character who is being a dead weight for the team and if you even suggest that he change to help the team, he will blame the defeat on you. He will have done absolutely nothing, he will have the worst support in the game for example, but according to him it's the rest of the team's fault. The other extreme is the player who only focuses on numbers. It's the player, for example, of Doomfist who only hunts for kills far away but can't help the team in TF, the DPS player who did a lot of damage but only hit the tank because he leaves the enemy support free, it's the support player who He has 15K healing and is being less efficient than the team's support that healed 7K and so on.
      In Paladins the problem is the pre-judgment people, when they see the talent I'm using, they think I'm going to play badly and start trolling the match, you know?
      The rest of the problems the community has in every game.

      one of zhins perk if I remember correctly is every time you hit someone with your spin the cool down gets lowered so you just spin
      then go invuln
      then block then spin again
      until you get your ultimate back then one shot the tank
      plus another thing with zhin is if you get maxed reload speed wha you can do is auto attack reload auto attack
      it's faster than just regular attacks and you basically have infinite attacks

    Terminus needs very specific builds to work and it's usually best to max out movement speed first or the croud control reduction

    I used to play a lot of Smite, played quite a bit of Paladins but switched over to Overwatch last year. Watching this felt very nostalgic for me and reawakened my excitement to return when Smite 2 releases.
