Can't Reaper capture/contest while in wraith form in Overwatch? As a comparison.

You mean Skye?
And yeah, I'd assume that it's intentional balance for invis/invuln. Most of them don't last long enough for it to be too strong. Just a feature of the ability that can matter in very specific situations if the player is aware of it and capitalizes.

Oh yeah.
You mean Skye?
Nah Seris, she can contest payloads while in her F form which is actually pretty neat, like Evie and Grohk. I forgot if Skye can do it while invisible too, but then again at that point she's "revealed" due to her range to a nearby player.
Man I've been playing on PC every now and then and I really have to say...
Why in the hell does it seem like this game is filled to the BRIM with braindead players? I legit have never played a game where so frequently teammates refuse to play the objective.
Not even in Overwatch.

Dunno what happened in your matches, but I can say that classes spread is more important here than in say, Overwatch. Having a support and a frontliner is essential to win, a team with them will have way much more chances to win than a team with 3 damage and 2 flanks.

Were some of those matches at least close? If they were all blowouts, then that is unusual.

I had a match where everyone was Flank.

A couple of buddies and I call ourselves "The Wandering Supports".
We are a Pip, Grohk and Grover based team, and we are far more effective than what it sounds like!
In fact, all we need is a tank to keep alive and distract the fire from us and we are set!
We have frustrated some very coordinated enemy teams and surprised allies.
Be aware! someday the Wandering Supports may be on your team, then we ride to the sunset leaving healing and flowers behind!

I kinda figured they were going to slow down at 30. I think they really need to address some of the current balance issues sooner than that though.
I hope the last big change (introducing legendary cards or w/e) doesn't scare them off from making big changes again. I don't mind the legendary card system but there is serious flaws I think with some of the cards and characters. Some are much too weak and some are too strong. Some create characters that are too good, like androxus/evie. Others are lackluster like I think maldamba's healing is lackluster, same with grover.

Isn't Mal considered the best healer lately?
Seris is kinda overpowered with her stun card and her get out of here move. That disappearance move needs a bit more start up time.

By lack luster I meant it's boring.
The CEO guy made a statement on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/6bxmv3/paladins_8_months_since_early_access/
So some of the community's concerns seem that will be addressed, including the underwhelming legendaries

Androxus or evie are probably the strongest flankers.
Then I think lex.
Maybe maeve is tied with lex now, not sure.
Buck and skye are on the weaker end.
NeoRaider

Thanks! Evie also looks very interesting.
Maeve is really fun to play and I really like her character. But she is probably a bit on the weaker side because of her low survivability. If you specialize your loadout with sustain cards (HP regen) then she becomes a bit easier to play.
Jest Chillin

To add to the above, Androxus is very strong but very dependent on fast and accurate aim. Particularly headshots (at least until you can unlock another Legendary card with 12k essence).
Lex also requires high accuracy but has more forgiveness than Androxus as well as a Secondary Attack that auto locks on targets.
Evie is high mobility but her attack is projectile not hit-scan (so account for travel time of the attack). Her particular mobility requires high situational awareness and creativity to maximize.
Maeve has high speed and high mobility but more predictable than the others since it's jump based. She's projectile as well but it travels faster than Evie with more forgiveness than Lex or Androxus with accuracy. She's paper thin as well.
Skye is really strong in Casual and specifically in the TDM style mode. Not strong in high level objective based modes/ranked. Still really fun with Stealth.
Buck is probably the most difficult flank to do well with. I honestly don't have him figured out. Relatively low mobility and speed, low attack speed, must be close quarters to hit hard and high ability cooldowns.
Can't recall if there are any other flanks.

Skye has a good Ult too that easily clears out a group and damages well.

So question. I know the free crystals for FWotD happens at 9am ET, but what happens if I already got the FWotD by that time?
That's why I never got the character lock complain. The game gives you so much cash. It's essence that can be problematic.

really enjoying this on ps4 so far. I was planning on buying the founders pack but it seems like you can unlock at a pretty decent pace, I've bought 2 champions so far with gold so far, seems like by the time i've gotten a good feel for the champion I've racked up enough gold to try another one out.

Hmm, save up crystals from this weekend's free crystals for that red panda Pip skin, or splurge them all now for Colossal Chest before they go away?
Also I don't get one of Seris's legendary cards - the four stacks causes stun thing. Is it random? Since I see enemies getting 4 stacks but they don't get stunned at all.

What is this madness. Finally saved up a bunch of crystals from events and daily log ins and decide I'll get Cassie's Night Bane outfit only to find out I CAN'T BUY CASSIES NIGHTBANE OUTFIT.
Some stupid glitch prevents buying it. Every time you click on it to purchase it instead of bringing up the purchase screen which asks "its part of a bundle" then asks if you want to view the bundle or the item only no matter what you choose neither one does anything.
Of course the one outfit I actually want and I can't buy it. Oh Hi-Rez.

How do i gallop with the mount?
So the game has upgrades like a moba? I like that a lot and am already curious how it would be in OW

the purpose of the mount is to make you go to your destination as fast as possible, there is no "run" button for it, you just move normally, although attacking and getting attacked will lose the horse
there are two upgrades - the cards which are selected pre-fight and are customized outside a fight, and in-game upgrades which only affect the current match and costs credits you earn as you play in the match

you always have a horse when you spawn, when you attack/get attacked, you lose it until you respawn again, it's a good feature
there's only really one problem, which is a bug, found in payload maps (not the usual cap->push, but the one where two teams will push a payload and the one with least amount of time/most distance pushed wins). when you spawn with a horse as soon as the round ends with the teams going to switch places, you will spawn with a horse that vanishes as soon as that next round starts. Not much of a problem if it's your team's turn to push the payload, but really annoying when it's your team's turn to defend since you'll be horseless and you have to go to the other team's spawning point lol

Yeah, dunno but I'm far from the only one more than one topic about the very same problem over at the official forums.

I see thanks!
So it allows all heroes to get to the location at the same speed? But doesnt that remove the versatility of creating speed operators/maneuvarability actions?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
there's an upgrade that boosts horse speed, but it competes with character's own speed, skill cooldown, and ultimate recharge, so choose wisely
most heroes have speed abilities too (I say most, some deliberately don't have any like Tyra or Inara), but their abilities are unusable while mounted

Thx
I am enjoying Pip. Got potg too

Not sure about Steam updates but Paladins updates are separate. You'll have to open the launcher and then it will update itself.

Am i the only one who thinks that Skye is OP maybe?
Her kit is really impressive. With Q she can easily get out of tricky situations when low on health. And with F she can come very close to you from behind and kill you in 1 sec. I mean she doesn't make any sounds, her stealth is just too good.
Also that Ultimate... it's just too much and very hard to escape. It can wipe the whole team if they are close.

Hint, you are probably wrecking bots
. Up to lvl 5 it matches you and and your team against bots.She is not OP, but she can be very good against new players. Her Q lasts 5 seconds and the invis gained lasts 3 so it is not a very good escape tool. If she uses F there is a very obvious sound that anyone close-by can hear. If she uses F to get close to someone, her best escape is now on CD, sure she might manage to pick someone off, but then she is an extremely easy target to take out. And her ultimate is not too much now, heck it's finally usable compared to how it was not that long ago. It is still very easy to escape unless it lands right on top of you and you don't have any movement skills. If she wipes a whole team with it, that says more about that team than her ability.

You can immediately hear her because her cloak and decloak have loud buzz noises. You can only hear an enemy sound, so when you hear it, be active. Her stealth is nullified when she's near someone too. She can be overwhelming, but she's not considered a top flank (unlike Evie).
Her ultimate is her ace, but you can move away from it which lowers its damage. It was actually pretty bad before when it always deals massive damage regardless of distance.

Playing with randoms means Tank or Support for me most of the time to chose something that actually benefits the team. Everybody seems to play Flank and Damage.
But I really like Torvald, Fernando and Grover, so I more or less specialized on them. Currently looking into Ying. Interesting to play and actually useful as a "pure" healer. But Grover still looks like far and away the best healer in the game, right? Will also try out Seris later. Didn't like the Orc, Pip and Maldamba.

I am barely seeing Evie in my games. But Skye is in every game i play.
Don't get me wrong i like her. And i am very good with her. She is my first gold character but that's just the impression i got from both playing as her and playing against her. But maybe it's just me.
Also hitbox for that sniper (not sure about her name) is ridiculous.
Mr.Deadshot

I wouldn't call her OP, but she is certainly strong. But on the other side she is very straight-forward and easy to play. I'd say a good Evie player can be way more annoying than a good Skye player.

I'm not fond of Grover. Seris is a beast though, especially with her +300m to heal Legendary. Heals are strong, long distance, her attack is a great zoning tool, her F is a great escape and can challenge objectives, and her Ult can help wipe a whole team if the timing is right.
