    Paladins is a game where it looks good on the surface but it starts coming apart at the seams. It's cartoon look, large roster, and different game modes offer a variety of play styles yet it doesn't matter due to it's lousy hit detection, subpar character loads, and horrible latency issues.

It's cartoon look, large roster, and different game modes offer a variety of play styles yet it doesn't matter due to it's lousy hit detection, subpar character loads, and horrible latency issues.

    Only about half the roster is actually playable, as others have a similar load but underperform in the same roles. Tyra, for example, fills a similar role as Cassie yet completely outperforms her in every way. Cassie's ultimate is a passive for Lex. The same goes for Ghrok, which cannot fill the role as a support by himself, yet plays very similarly to Ying, which can easily solo support a group. There are at least a half dozen heroes that rarely ever get played, most of them being launch heroes, with newer heroes simply outperforming them.

    Latency is a huge issue in Paladins. Multiple times during a match, i could not find any heroes on screen, allies or enemies. I tested this with a second PS4 and a friend - they could see me on their screen but I couldn't see them or visa versa. It's frustrating to not effectively group up, focus fire, or heal due to the server not communicating with each client. Also, kill screens will constantly show heroes shooting the ground or complete misses for a kill, abilities used that didn't happen during gameplay, or not show abilities you triggered that should have saved you in a fight.

    Hit detection is horrible for an FPS. Bullets and other projectiles can be significantly off the mark and yet registers as a hit. Headshots (tested in the practice range area) can be off as much as a full head and still register as a hit, depending on the projectile. Some abilities are the exact opposite, as pinpoint accuracy is needed to register a hit. Even some of the environment can be shot through (including parts of the payload). Trial and error is the only way to know what you can and cannot do with specific heroes.

    Not even going to start on MMR in competitive, as it's a joke mode that needs significant grinding for the same game, except you get a random number. One match, you get paired with competent players on both sides (most of the group at 4000+), the next you get people that don't understand basic group concepts, such as healing, objectives, etc. (Sub 3500 rating). No rhyme or reason for it.

    Overall, Paladins neither brings anything new to the genre, yet misses on some of the very basics of a hero shooter - bland, similar characters, horrible latency, and boring maps. Save yourself the grief and spend the money on an FPS that gets the basics right.    … Expand

    A nice multiplatform game, unfortunately Hi-Rez is going to abandon it and it's user base with OB64 by putting content behind a paywall and ignoring community requests about fix and balancing. They did the same with Global Agenda in the past, look it up on google, and they are ignoring a 7500+ petition on change.org about NOT implementing the broken system they have come up with in OB64.A nice multiplatform game, unfortunately Hi-Rez is going to abandon it and it's user base with OB64 by putting content behind a paywall and ignoring community requests about fix and balancing.

    What I don´t accept in a moba, when your character dies in less than 2 seconds, even if you are a tank. This just shows how unbalanced the game is and how low quality is the gameplay. Get away from this thing.

    Like overwatch, but with worse graphics, almost no strategy, teamwork and not nearly as fun or polished. Each new character is also just a mirror or rework of an Overwatch one. If you're looking for an Overwatch-esque game for free this one is decent. But if you can afford it, pay for the real deal. It's worth it.

    I can't believe thatI bough champions pack. Waste of money. Buggy mess. Not enough punishment for quitters. This game is just trash. I've spent with it almost 300 hours playing on pc and ps4 and ps4 version is pure frustration. Avoid it.
