Paladins From Hi-Rez Studios

Anyone following Paladins game from Hi-Rez?

Played it and it was alright, but Overwatch is heads above it even if it is different, when Overwatch was out I never touched Paladins of course that is personal preference. They changed the game fairly recently to make it easier for new players, but matchmaking is still horribly balanced. Your team either completely destroys them or they completely destroy you no middle ground. There are posts about this all over the forums, there are even players who say ending with 50% more xp is normal.

ah ok and yeah I was in overwatch before the game went down over the holidays but for some reason cannot play now...even though it stated if you were in beta before they started it up again you would be in this one but seems I am not lol.....but yeah had an extra key is why I asked for paladins didnt know if anyone played.

Gigantic is another game similar to these that's coming out except it's a team-based arena shooter with MOBA elements.  IMO it's 10x better than overwatch or Paladins, and I'm willing to be battleborn will be equally inferior.

As a non moba fan i think im only looking forward to Paragon from Epic Games, just because it is basically Gears of War in a moba setting. Paladins looks interesting tho, more interesting than Battleborne IMO.

I figured you would like Paragon since you are a SMITE fan. It plays like it and looks great and runs smooth. I enjoy the beta well enough for it

So far i like most of what Hi Rez do. Its a shame they wasted Global Agenda.

wait .. are any of these MMOs? Be careful ... the MMO definition police may come and shut this thread down.

But if not ... yeah ... I am looking forward to Overwatch, and I predict many sites will call it a MMO if it hits big.

In my opinion, Paladins is an ugly, incoherent eye-sore by a developer that can't be counted on to support games effectively. Hi-Rez turned in their MMO card when they failed to properly support Global Agenda - a promising entry into the then-young MMO Shooter genre. They turned in their shooter card when they abandoned Tribes Ascend, a game that was fantastic, young, and getting tons of youtube fame, to the trash bin, unable to give it proper competitive features or decent balance all while the internet was still buzzing with "shazbots" and "I am the greatest!". Then they took Smite, their cash cow, and systematically turned it from a stand-out game into League of Legends in 3rd person - same items and same toxic metagame. I wouldn't trust this studio to program a calculator, much less a game that I intend to invest hundreds of hours into. 

Overwatch and Paragon both look immensely better than this game. 

Overwatch is vibrant, full of personality, and has met with near universal positive press. It's not a matter of if this game will succeed, but when.

Paragon has what most MOBAs lack - a coherent universe and artstyle. Couple that with an outstanding development studio and you have a game that will likely do well, once players can finally get their hands on it.
