You can get lots of things, such as all heroes for free.
IMO, Corvus and Jenos are both better version of Zen and neither require a heal ult to be as such. Corvus literally allows for multi healing and point denial and Jenos allows direct support for flankers along with punishing and focus firing enemies by stopping their movement.
I like to think of it this way if Corvus or Jenos was added to OW they would be meta or atleast playable. If Zen was added to paladins he has so little in abilities he would be a trash pick.

What strikes me as odd is that I get a whole lot more variety out of my Paladins matches. And yet there’s no role queue or hero pools needed

I played paladins for a bit, but I found it a very easy game.

Just asking when did you last play. I will admit that OB and release heroes were kind of generic but the ones put out over the past 2 years have really pushed the boundaries of the game.
Wait There’s a new support? I had no idea there was a new support. I gotta check that out
Tbh, a Zen equivalent to me is more ying and , sky.
Use dmg, and focus to finish fights. Use heals as a secondary boost with a goal of finishing that fight.
I know sky is easy to equate to sombra, but imo, sombra is already (was) like Zen or soldier. Just different ways of executing the basics manipulation of when to dmg, and when to heal and retreat.
I quite enjoy the game of ow, when sombra, soldier and Zen do well, because that means the basics of : fire, retreat, focus , disperse - are all at their high points allowing more manipulation for other things like speed and slows to do well.
At least, that’s how I see it
I know them all, a friend plays the game and he shows me everything. Corvus is just a random guy in armor, Tiberius is a generic furry tiger, etc. Bomb King is the best in terms of design imo, he is very unique, and also Grover is charming, I used to play a lot of Sylvanus in Smite. Other than that they’re all seem pretty boring to me. It’s not just this game, Smite desgins are basic too. Hi-Rez are not known for their amazing designs really.

Paladins respect your skills as player & allow you play with the CHAMPION you want.
OW have unrealistic expectations “Thinking” with a stupid “Magic-Thinking” cognitive disortion you will be able to play 12-16 heros at high level based on the map & counter picks. Also the game dont respect your skills at all.
Also you end playing what the “others” wants or you end playing what the counter picks allow you. Sorry if want play GENJI or TRACER is my problem i should not be ending playing mei or reaper 75% of the time

most important, in Paladins there are items and builds to balance bad match ups which makes it sooo much more easier to balance the game.
And yeah no Goats meta because there are items that hard destroy shields. and reduce healing.
what’s great is that even in a 4DPS 1support comp is almost even against meta comp (2tanks 2dps 1support)

I agree, but i got my hero pack for 10$cad on steam sale.
This is normally people biggest hurdle, instead of adadadada, you move like asdwdsdw kinda thing and maintain 100% speed.
I mean you paid for OW, soooo…
But I play paladins and almost the entire roster is viable at all ranks.
Torvald and Nando need some love as frontline.
Strix is getting more nerfs so he isn’t banned each game, skye is good until diamond and bucks bulk up is getting changed. Moji is Moji and will always be only good -gold. Lex is only good -plat.
After last patch there is just minor tweaking for supports.
So that 6/50 champs that are needing work.
Tanking/healing/flanking/dmg ALL feel great in paladins.
But the bugs are much fewer but still there…
I dissagree, like hanzo got sha’lin’s “storm arrows and lunge”, hi rez removed the self root from sha’lin, but sha’lin has always been balanced and hanzo has been all around the board.
Sharing gains between each other can be beneficial.
Just my take as someone who likes both games though.

I quite like some of them, Sylvanus, Khepri and Kukulkan were my mains, but idk, for the most part they are too literal to the sources, also most girls with big boobies that I consider it really cheap design wise, Scylla is cool tho. Not saying Hi-Rez desings are superbad or something, but for me is just kinda meh.

In the case were you are representing peoples mythology (some of which still are activly practice) i don’t think this is bad.
Yeah but OW does that too
Yes some of the designs are boring but like Baba Yaga IMO is one of my favorite MOBA heros ever.

For me, it’s a “play Drogoz 5head”
One thing about Paladins is there are no hard counters, while counter-play still available especially while sniping. Never really liked sniping in OW because eventually you’re forced to swap off.

which does not really matter, since you can get decent selfhealf on any hero, if you play with the right cards + items.
also there are broken items like caut, which at some point make heals meaningless (75% heal block…)
their shield tanks are utter trash. ash and fernando have basically the same ult.
just to list a few things not right.
honestly at this point i think you are just trolling.
doesnt change the fact that the whole game itself is otherwise is not even close to overwatch/blizz qualitiy.

You’ll be happy to know they are pre-alpha on a successor game.
