    This is honestly legitimately an overwatch rip-off. People who may try do defend this game, but in the end it is just a ripoff. Taking a few concepts from another game is fine but not to the extent of paladins. If u want to play paladins, play overwatch. Legit just paladins but better. "but paladins has a card system which makes ur characters different!" cards make the game unbalanced,This is honestly legitimately an overwatch rip-off.

    Here's my personal experience with "Hi-Rez Studios" and "Easy Anti-Cheat" and "Paladins" as a whole.

I first joined the game a few days ago after getting a little bored of Overwatch and as I progressively played and unlocked some content with my decent aim from all my experience in games like this one... I proceeded to buy around $82.00 worth of extra content however from this moment on was down hill. After spending a lot of hard earned money on this game I wanted to show off my new content in training mode with fellow players in which we all face AI bots. I had a really good round I was having a blast but my Bluetooth Xbox One remote (The one I use for most the games I play on PC) started to die and usually when that happens while playing any game on my system it causes a memory leak or some kind of heavy glitch that takes down my FPS and crashes the game till my batteries are replaced. Long story short the game crashed after my controller died well I thought no biggie I'll just re-log like I do every time my controller crashes a game... well I re-log and come back to a big fat banned screen their anti-cheat had detected the glitch as a cheat and banned me right as it happened! I was not upset right off the bat however I was instantly concerned about my account and sent in a support ticket explaining what happened, after a few days they hit me back with some generic message almost auto like response explaining how I cheated and I was banned for breaking the rules. I was very frustrated at this point because they not only sent me a generic response but they also flat out ignored my concerns with what was going on. I thought okay I will try to find another way to contact them so I headed to the Paladins Reddit Discord server and contacted a few employees only to be told to send in another support ticket... I went ahead and filed another support ticket with Hi-Rez and got the same automated message saying I was banned for cheating. I continued to search for one last bit of hope so I had a private discussion with a Hi-Rez Steam Discussions admin, who had validated mine and others concerns with this games anti-cheat and told me to send in a support ticket. I sent in this final ticket explaining yet again what happened and got the same exact generic automated response. I never cheated. This is a honest review of my experience with Paladins and this company, This is also not a public ban appeal discussion I'm not trying to get un-banned anymore however I would suggest you switch to Steams anti-cheat system because others all over the web are expressing the same issues with "Easy Anti-Cheat".… Expand

    There are people in here telling you that the game is not pay to win. That is extremely misleading. You have to pay for individual "champions". You can use in-game currency but like other games with a similar formula, the currency is slow in coming. Don't fall for it. Just buy Overwatch. It's cheaper and you get 100% of the game.

    Worst, most imbalanced game ever. There's no quality content. They are adding new skins in every patch instead of fixing bugs. There's something called burst meta which makes the game worse then it supposed to be.

    I've been playing this game since early Closed Beta.
    Nothing has changed since the, it's still filled with bugs, bad balancing.

    This used to be an exciting game, now it just feels like a major cash grab. Skins everywhere.

    I can't recommend this in 2020

    Worse game ever created, developers don't listen to their customers (players). They are destroying the game with their own hands. I don't recommend this game to anyone. I have spent 2.5 years in this game, with the hope it will be changed somehow, but it is dying and developers don't care at all.

    I've had enough of this game. The servers are laggy and inconsistent, as well as a buggy-ass game.
    And as a company, I recently discovered they are thieves that snoop and steal files from your computer, which is another story. [They replicated a couple of my music instrumental productions for their content]

    I was banned for lagging one time, I carry as 1st place 90% of my matches at minimum compared to my team and even others, yet I still get the most garbage players that cause me to lose.
    On top of that people always got some crap to talk no matter what and they dont get banned because I still see them around.
    Low-Rez as I should refer to them, don't place good players in ranks they deserve and it clearly shows that it don't heckin matter how good of a player you are. This game is a lousy piece of **** that will make you pull the hairs out your head. Lastly, I just got banned for 3 days and I literally have no understanding as to why. I try to be kind to players and I play very well and then this happens. IM SO DONE!

    Paladins review

    Gameplay section

    Paladins is a competitive team-based shooter game. It is nothing like Halo, Fortnite or Valorant because it's a game that works in many ways. There is a selection of game modes to play in. One is a team deathmatch mode and there's also an onslaught mode and a Seige mode team. Deathmatch is focused on eliminating other players and the first team to 40 eliminations wins.
    in the onslaught mode,
    There is a zone that your team has to stand in. The longer you stand in the zone, the more points you get. The first team to 400 wins. Finally, the way siege mode works is this -at first there is a zone, the same as onslaught, but once you capture the zone with 50 points then it spawns a cart with fireworks in it and a zone around it you have to push the payload to the oppositions' frontline base area.
    The first team to get 4 points wins the match. You can choose a champion and there are different heroes to choose from. Each hero has a class, either support frontline, flank or damage.
    Support are pretty much medics that can deal damage and heal. Your team frontline is a champion with a load of armour and health, so will take a lot of damage, but can do a fair bit of damage too. The flank class is kind of a stealthy assassin so you will have to learn teamwork skills to win.
    A champion that is in damage class is quite vulnerable, but packs a punch on foot can eliminate a frontline fast. To succeed in this great game you will have to have teamwork skills, otherwise your team is useless. The controls are easy to pick up and play straight away!
    Ranked Seige mode is competitive, fast and frantic you get placed in a league - first Qualifying, then Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and finally Grandmaster.
    It automatically grades you in a league and the ratio of how many matches you win and how many you lose.

    Language section

    One of the champions Evie says in a voice pack "Give them hell" and Ash, a frontline champion, says "I'm leading this vanguard. So if any of you F***ers have anything to say, now is the time." fortunately Ashes swear is bleeped you can just hear the letter f come out of her mouth so you can tell it's explicit and there is a voice chat that doesn't
    work if your account is set under 15 years of age ,so it's locked.

    In conclusion, I think this game shows great teamwork, medium violence and great fast gameplay, so I would recommend an age of something around 8 or lower. Therefore, I reckon that it shows great teamwork and positive messages. The language is easy to handle because if you don't play the game with volume when you are playing as the hero Ash -then it is fine!!

    This should be a pay to play game and by that I mean they should pay people to play it. It is that bad. I played it for free and I still want my money back. Do not waste your time on this.

    This game used to be good and it was made with FUN in mind. But then company had to make bad hires and slowly they sturted pumping out predictable politics. Not as bas as another game by this publisher (already dead) Rogue Squadron, but still.

    A solid, enjoyable hero shooter, varied and polished. Yes, it does have a lot of Overwatch DNA, but in some areas it’s more advanced than Blizzard’s game (e.g. wide range of adjustments you can make to adapt your character to your playing style) and it’s free. [08/2018, p.62]

    Paladins is a very solid hero shooter, with a great core gameplay and very good ideas. You can try it for free and its business model is not abusive at all, so we recommend you give it a try.

    Paladins shouldn’t be seen just as the free alternative to Overwatch but, instead, should be praised as one of the best multiplayers nowadays. A great and addictive game that will surely entertain every kind of player thanks to its accessibility and well-developed mechanics.
