Overwatch right now is in it's best shape since 2017, the roster is balanced, little bugs, matchmaking in Comp is nice and the best one is that Blizzard cares for it very much, they listen to the player's feedback, they always try their best with balancing now and try to not make power creeps like before, although the anti cheat system is a bit crap. Meanwhile Hi-Rez is using Paladins as a cash grab game. They never cared for the game, they never fix any game breaking bugs, their balancing is absolute garbage, they only focuses on making cosmetics and female champions for looks, and worst of all is that the players still sucks the Devs's dicks and won't stop! I mean being loyal is fine, but the Developers are literally sucking the money out of the players like mosquitos sucks blood from humans. i- i- i just can't. I quit back in 2018 but came back and nothing changed. the way Hi-Rez fixes the game is the same as putting a band-aid on a broken arm and they still get money from the players. just buy Overwatch, like seriously just do it.… Expand

    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 2021

    Bueno, por donde empezar...antes que nada me gustaría decir que soy un jugador veterano de Paladins, llevo jugando al juego desde 2017 y considero que a diferencia de muchos otros usuarios tengo la experiencia suficiente para poder tanto criticar los puntos malos del juego, como elogiar los buenos. Voy a comenzar primero por los buenos:
    1- Amplias posibilidades de personalización y    Bueno, por donde empezar...antes que nada me gustaría decir que soy un jugador veterano de Paladins, llevo jugando al juego desde 2017 y considero que a diferencia de muchos otros usuarios tengo la experiencia suficiente para poder tanto criticar los puntos malos del juego, como elogiar los buenos. Voy a comenzar primero por los buenos:
    1- Amplias posibilidades de personalización y variadas formas de juego con cada campeón. Era de esperarse tener que mencionar esto, a diferencia de otros shooters Paladins permite una gran personalización no solo de la apariencia del personaje, sino también de su estilo de juego, contando con talentos y cartas que afectan habilidades y características del personaje dentro de la partida.
    2- Curva de dificultad algo empinada pero digerible ¿a qué me refiero con esto? Para aprender mecánicas básicas y las habilidades de cada campeón no requiere de muchas partidas, pero eso sí, dominar al campeón al 100% requerirá de mucho más esfuerzo y trabajo duro, lo cual a mi parecer lo hace lucir desafiante pero entretenido en la práctica, además de recompensar (en la mayoría de campeones) al jugador con una skin dorada del personaje un vez alcanzado el nivel 50 de experiencia con dicho campeón, lo cual puede servir como incentivo a los jugadores.
    3- Es free to play. Con esto me refiero a que el juego desde el principio podría haber sido de paga, pero no lo fue, esto abrió la puertas a un público más extenso y dio oportunidades desde el comienzo.
    4- Actualizaciones constantes. Vamos a ser realistas, en lo personal no requiero de 40 actualizaciones mensuales como las que llegan a tener Fortnite o LoL, los cuales se actualizan cada 2 segundos, no creo que empresas menores como Hi-Rez u otras pudieran permitirse un ritmo de actualizaciones tan constante, pero eso sí, al menos yo estoy contento de recibir una actualización cada mes o mes y medio, ya que aunque se tarden estas traen grandes cantidades de contenido y lore al juego, y eso entretiene la espera.
    4- No es pay to win. En este punto hable desde mi propia experiencia, yo logré desbloquear todos los campeones en pocos meses de juego y además en solo 4 meses de ahorro de cristales me dio la oportunidad de comprarme el pase de batalla, esta parte en especial del juego me gusta, ya que recompensa la constancia y habilidad, si juegas ganarás oro y cristales, si juegas bien ganarás aún más oro y obtendrás cristales más rápido.

    Bueno, supongo que ya es tiempo de ir con los puntos malos:
    1- Sistema anti-trampas y sistema de reportes casi ineficientes. La cantidad de hackers no es tan exagerada como en otros shooters, peor siento que Hi-Rez no aprovecha esto mismo, ya que es una buena oportunidad para pulir el sistema anti-trampas, porque de no ser así los servidores podrían inundarse de hackers.
    2- Bugs múltiples. Si es cierto que en los últimos meses Hi-Rez ha parchado una buena cantidad de bugs, pero con cada nuevo que sale viene acompañado de sus buenos bugs y errores. En el mapa de Frog Island por ejemplo Kinessa puede aprovecharse de un error que le permite posicionarse en un spot desde el cual posee vista de gran parte del mapa y además es casi infranqueable; cabe mencionar también que en PlayStation 4 se pueden experimentar ciertos congelaciones y cierres repentinos del juego.
    3- Sistema de ranked competitivo obsoleto. Hemos tenido el mismo sistema de emparejamiento en partidas competitivas durante casi 3 años, y durante ese tiempo la parte competitiva de la comunidad ha logrado ver los errores e injusticias que se experimentan en algunas partidas, como por ejemplo que los roles de tanque y soporte se ven desfavorecidos en cuanto al posicionamiento que los jugadores reciben si se ven obligados a jugar estos roles en ranked, es decir, si juegas solo daño y flanco es más probable que llegues a rangos más altos. Después tenemos que hay una cantidad considerable de trolls ya sea el rango que sea.

    Bueno, creo que ese es el final de mi reseña, he tratado de hacerla de la forma más objetiva posible y viendo tanto puntos buenos como malos.    … Expand

    Paladins is very fun to play with balanced shooting and hero abilities.
    This game is very friendly with shooting aim.

    Es un buen juego, muy entretenido, ideal para cuando llegas del trabajo o de la universidad candado y buscas algo para despejar tu mente, partidas no muy largas, intensas y con variedades de campeones, talentos, barajas e ítems que hacen jugarlos de manera diferente, tiene sus errores, no es perfecto pero es mi juego favorito.

    Decent game. Very unbalanced. Map design is OK but could be a lot better. Cool cosmetics, lots of champions

    I've been playing this game on and off since 2016 and it's a good game, similar to Overwatch and Team Fortress 2 but different with it's own style.

    Unfortunately as time has passed the game has gotten worse and worse with each year. The focus of the developers transfered from making an exciting bug-free game to a money grab. Features such as Payload, Death Camera and Play of the Game were removed from the game "because of too many bugs" because the developers were too lazy to fix them.

    Instead they put all their time and effort into making battlepasses, new champions and most important.. skins... all the time...
    Another thing I dislike about modern day Paladins and the new champions in particular is lack in creativity when creating them. It's just a bunch stereotypes nowadays and fan service, not to mention a bunch of transgender LGBTQ bullsh1t.

    But what irritates me the most about the modern day Paladins (since like 2019 probably) is how hard and unfriendly they've made the game for new players. It's pay 2 win in literal sense of the word... back in the day the price of heroes was 3-4x cheaper than it is nowadays but also the money which you win from matches nowadays is 2-3x less than it used to be before.. oh and also you could win diamonds from matches before. The progression system also has gotten much worse.. back in the day you used to win chests when leveling up your heroes or your profile which felt rewarding to play the game... but now it's gone, real life money needed.

    Overall the game is still enjoyable nowadays if you are either willing to pay a lot of money for buying new champions or you have an old account with a lot of champions already unlocked.    … Expand

    the game was good in 2018 , but now it has a few people playing it or the matchmaking is bad so itcan take time to load in a game, but it is still a good game.

    It's an insult (especially in the age of Overwatch 2) to call this game a clone, especially if you're aware of the development cycle and timeline of both games. But I do feel that I have to mention that first, due to the image the game has and how much that oversimplification has harmed the game's reputation.

    This game honestly feels infinitely more balanced than OW foundationally. OW    It's an insult (especially in the age of Overwatch 2) to call this game a clone, especially if you're aware of the development cycle and timeline of both games. But I do feel that I have to mention that first, due to the image the game has and how much that oversimplification has harmed the game's reputation.

    This game honestly feels infinitely more balanced than OW foundationally. OW forces you to play certain team comps, on certain maps, with each character usually having a single viable playstyle with little room to budge. Paladins offers tons of playstyles for each character through options like talents, in-game store abilities (think MOBAs, not actual cash stores), and even a loadout system using deckbuilding to sway your characters skills to your playstyle, optimizing exactly how you play.

    Overwatch is such a frustrating experience because of how thin its meta is and how you're forced into certain playstyles and comps. If you don't follow them, you're going to get steamrolled. If you play support or tank and don't have reliable teammates, you're going to get steamrolled since you can't manage enough to defend yourself. Paladins gives you the option to play your role and hold your own when you need.

    This game is not an Overwatch clone, it is better. You have options, you're not limited in how you can play characters, and while you probably aren't going to win without solid teamwork, you can at least have more freedom to sway the game in your direction and keep yourself alive by fighting back.

    Also horses so it doesn't take 7 years to get to the objective, Zenyatta could certainly use one lmao    … Expand

    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.
