obviously they are similar kind of characters(from different games) but why does Makoa work so much better than roadhog? i never used Makoa but everyone says that the turtle is a much better character gameplay wise
also the hook for Makoa is it constantly breaking?
Makoa’s pretty op in paladins I don’t know if he still is but he’s be like Tracer in that he is always meta
Wait… there’s a tanky character with a hook ability based on an animal named Makoa in Paladins? And they say Paladins doesn’t copy Overwatch…
and they also say that Overwatch never copied any other game, because Overwatch is about as unique as Pubg.
I’ll be glad when people stop comparing OW to Paladins. I mean, I’d back it up if Paladins was the superior game.
But it’s not.
The game sucks. The characters are horribly balanced. And you gotta pay to even have access to most of them.
honestly i didnt want to start a overwatch vs paladins topic i was just wondering if Makoa was balanced in comparison to roadhog and how they make a character like that work but sounds like roadhog is more balanced tbh if makoa is kinda like tracer in terms of always meta
I’ve never played Paladins, only heard the debate about it vs. Overwatch. Was just surprised to see a character that is such a direct copy (Even copying the name)
I tried it for awhile. Makoa is kinda a ripoff of Hog, but does have his own unique(ish) abilities.
However, he is extremely op and really hard to take down and moves A TON faster then Roadhog ever could.
Makoa is not only dmg tank, he also have shield that can save teammate from sniper pick or give time to hide from ults, and they use differend ults, like makoa can control his better and use hook doing it giving him a lot of hp, when hog cant do anything when other team run away and he is easy to kill from far away.
i was comparing 2 character not the games
You compared an Overwatch character to a Paladins characters. I didn’t say the games as a whole, but it’s still comparing one games aspect to a clone of another games aspect.
Superior game? honestly the only reason Overwatch has such a huge playerbase is because it’s Blizzard, the game has tons of advertising, quite interesting lore, amazing cinematics, and a massive e-sports scene that Blizzard managed to force down our throats.
Paladins is made by a much smaller company with a smaller budget, what they’ve managed to do so far with it is great. I managed to look past the obvious “quality” difference from the game overall compared to Overwatch, what I see is a game that’s actually fun, and offers a much different experience to Overwatch, the most important being it’s not so hugely team reliant as Overwatch.
As far as “the characters are horribly balanced” goes, have you actually been playing Overwatch? the balance here is just as horrible, and no, you don’t have to pay to have access to most of them, stop spreading misinformation, you can use the in-game gold you get from finishing matches and completing quests to buy them all.
@OP, Makoa might always be meta simply because he has hook, much like on this game, it’s a big ability that pulls someone out of position, outside of that though, what also makes him great is that he has a dome shield that either stays on him or drops like WInston, and a traversal skill that sends him forward a nice distance.
Heres the thing: Roadhog was awful design, 600 hp/self healing/ cc that drags the enemy in a 20 meters range and with that a one shot, honestly bs. But you can see the problem outside of the one shot he didnt have much else, only the cc.
I dont remember exactly all Makoas cards but compare: Makoa has a hook too and a cannon but he has never been able to one shot (from what i remember) but he also has other utilities, his dash that serves for mobility and knockback, his shield that is basically a mobile Winston bubble the ult i don`t remember, tho. That is the difference, more utility.
Paladins is not exactly a clone, is the game that have similar idea. And to be honest some heroes from overwatch who came after once from paladins was accused of coping paladins, like sombra because paladins had sky, invisible purple girl
Crazy but that how internet work, i even belive some people say that sky was copy of sombra even if sky was in game long time before we know how sombra look ![:stuck_out_tongue:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=5" ":stuck_out_tongue:")
I myself think they just have similiar visions but not copy each other
If you like it so much then ya can stick with Paladins. It’s hemorrhaging players left and right lately. I mean, not even 20,000 active people playing.
OW has it’s faults, but it’s balancing is no where near as bad as Paladins. And sure, we can all get these extra characters by just using the in game currency that literally takes forever to do by questing and what not.
I mean, I rather have access to all the characters from the start. Not be behind a paywall. And maybe some of us don’t have a lot of time to play the game as you apparently do. Restricting people just because they can’t play as much isn’t fair.
Paladins wasn’t fun. It was a chore. And if you DIDN’T pick one of the must pick heroes, you were pretty much dead from the start.
Remember kids, that just this person opinion, dont start another war from it
And fo part when you have to pick must pick heroes in paladins… i win a lot of games when at start my team was like
“grover is bad heal”
“barik cant deal with ash”
They change mind after match with me
“If you like it so much then ya can stick with Paladins” what? where did this come from? have I basically just found an Overwatch fanboy that refuses to talk within reason? I play both games you clown, or did you just straight up miss the part where I was complementing both games and even have a profile you can check on here to see that I play?
Paladins also isn’t “hemorrhaging” players at all, have you ever heard of peak times and dead hours? dead hours are currently now, just check steamcharts properly if you’re that bothered and look at the 24 hour and monthly peak, of course there’s no way to check Overwatch current players though, how unfortunate.
That’s just also your opinion on which games balance is worse, honestly I think Overwatch balance is worse, and really the OWL just proves it to me, but again, that’s just my opinion.
As for having all characters from the start…how exactly did you start playing Overwatch? you purchased the game right? so therefore you had to throw your money to Blizzard in order to get access to the game and the full roster, whereas Paladins allows you to play their game for free, and yet you’re complaining that you don’t have everything at the start? you’re ridiculous mate, I honestly don’t even know where to begin with you, the only thing I can do is state the obvious and say buy their incredibly cheap founders pack and get access to all the characters.
It’s unfortunate that it wasn’t fun and it felt like a chore for you, I guess the games just not for you, or you just simply enjoyed Overwatch more and couldn’t stop comparing the 2 while playing. I have no idea when you last played it either, but so far the majority of the cast is played in every game, I’m now always seeing different characters in every match I play.
Doesn’t anyone notice the similarities between Ash and buggete?like even the flag during the ult? (Ash came a long time ago than Brigette for the ones who don’t know)
I play a lot ash… she is not like brigette, they are just two strong girls with armour, even their personality is way differend, dont start it now
I was just staying dude no need to worry I like both games ![:grinning:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/grinning.png?v=5" ":grinning:")
