The Old Marvel R vs Overwatch debate "BUT"....(paladins)

there is a victim and yea, that game will probably disappear eventually. i think hi-rez did say the were gonna stop updating that game and thats it… the show is over.

lots of heroes but i guess lots of heroes didnt help that game. still i did like it. a lot of their heroes where cool and i havnt even played any of them really. maybe only 1/4 or 1/8th heh. i mean i have time still, the game isnt over but i cant bring myself to play that game for some reason

i rather play Marvel R or Overwatch. poor paladins

what would it take for that game to come back? a remake with another engine? Paladins 2?? … would hi-rez do that? maybe someday heh… maybe not

online service games, when they die… THEY REALLY DIE

what I never liked was that its roughly 2 fights and the match is over.
And that its hitboxes where like s9 on absolutely bonkers levels…

all though, if I wasn’t able to play ow, I most likely see myself play paladins as a hero fps replacement.

Sadly they did announce it’s going into maintenance mode. I used to be HUGE into Paladins and would play it as much as I played OW back then. Really loved their champion roster and of course riding a pink unicorn into battle was epic.

Sadly I feel like they kind of ruined their own game though over the years which made me stop playing it and prioritize Overwatch instead. (Removed their POTG, changed their weekly challenges to something ridiculous, never did anything with the experimental maps, got rid of all of the unique hero portraits and made them all default, and the last 2 years I think(?) all their battlepass skins were just returning OLD battlepass skins, ontop of cutting them shorter to only 24 levels in the pass, whereas before it was a full on pass like we have in Overwatch.

So sadly in my opinion for the game to come back would be revert all the changes they made over the years and go back to how they were in 2017.

Paladins could’ve been successful if Hi-Rez were to stop neglecting it in favour of chasing the SMITE 2 pipe dream, which is now in the gutter anyway. Paladins runs on a 20-year-old engine, is extremely buggy, has outdated graphics… the game IS salvageable, but it requires serious TLC from a company who are passionate about it. It saddens me because the core gameplay is very fun, and it has unique characters like Ying and Io whom I’ll miss.

It would be nice if there is a “2” but we will never see them again.

Paladins has too many heroes and not enough maps and the maps themselves aren’t very varied or interesting!

Now it seems like Marble Bibles might be making the same mistake!

In Overwatch every single map feels like it’s had love and care poured into it - there are little details in every corner and crevice - and they all feel like places that could be lived in!

Very few other games capture that feeling!

:scream_cat:

Honestly, I never liked Paladins. There’s of course overlap with games like Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, but honestly I do not think it is as close to these games as they are to each other.

The biggest saving grace for Marble Bibles is that it might come to Mac thankfully as they’re not owned by Microsoft!
