Ow2 is becoming a paladins rip-off

General Discussion

Halo has evolved further to have sheilds but also health underneath that does not recover unless you grab a health pack.

I admit I don’t keep super up-to-date with Halo, but wasn’t that only the case for the OG Halo & Halo: Reach?

23

They did it for games after that.

WoW has always had it, as far as shooters go paladins is one of the few. Most shooters dont even have a healing role

25

Hmm, that’s a cool idea.

26

Paladins did it first, welcome to the industry

Overwatch is heavily inspired by other games. Them ripping off other games isn’t surprising at all. Question is why would players care? All that matters is “is this better for the game”? If something is cool then copy it. If you can create fun amalgamation of multiple games to create even better game then players will love the game.

Problem with rip-offs is that they usually are just watered down version of the original and they don’t add anything unique to the table. If you just take some good parts from other games and iterate on it to refine it into something better then you have my blessing, go make a better game.

Sigma’s got the cheapest lodgings in town.

I would pay them for adding someone like Io in the game. It makes so much fun playing around Luna.

Good.

Paladins would have CRUSHED Overwatch, if they had the same Blizz polish on the game.

Their maps are :dog2::poop:, and their graphics are sub par.

The underlying game is not bad.

31

Blizzard used to rip off other games! Not only that, but they usually made a better version of what they were ripping off too

They really need to go back to that and stick to it. This obsession with reinventing the wheel hasn’t been working out too well for them

32

Ah yes the all memorable paladins. With such iconic characters as.

McCReaper.

And uhh… hmmm. Who else do they have?

33

Because that used to be the case before Overwatch got disfigured. Doubt any game out there WANTS to be Overwatch 2 now

34

Trying to warn ppl how bad that was.

But nailed it. :clap:t6:

35

I’d trade brig for a furia or jenos. :roll_eyes:

I never understood the joke, the only thing Androxus and Cassidy have in common is that they both use a revolver.
androxus and reaper are just emos, they don’t share a single skill and you can’t even say that they based their design on reaper, because androxus’s design is literally a reference to the first design of Reacon from Global Agenda ( h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vtPYVg65Q4&ab_channel=IGN ), and it’s obvious that they would make a reference to that game because it is literally the prequel to paladins

Paladins has a very high TTK, sometimes is not fun

The only thing I like is that supports in that game, can defend themselves

And the community doesn’t whine as being killed by a support.

Read an interview about the lead game designer in Hunt showdown. They turned off the idea of release HS2 because of how bad was OW 2.

Comments like this just remind me that people who post here or still play never actually loved or even liked OW. They just wanted it to copy everyone else, how reductive.

ur so right i stuck with OW through a 3 year content drought and countless company scandals because I actually hate the game, I definitely don’t just think that “gets 20HPS after 5 seconds out of combat” is a mostly meaningless change that won’t affect how the game is played
