Paladins Is it true?

Clearly the reception of the upcoming battlepass is a mixed bag. Some people are excited, some arent. But this new extension is not helping anyone. Let me explain...

Free to play players:

Nothing good comes out of this for these players. The tier extension and duration of the pass really isnt motivating at all. First of all, in the sands of myth pass, not a single skin booster was in the free pass. It was mostly coins and crystals. This new pass will offer nothing new to them but will require them to grind even more for something that already took a long time to grind.

Battle pass exhaustion:

Its no surprise that some players have felt burnt out by grinding for the rewards in the battlepass. A lot of players have paid to grind for these rewards only for the battlepass to be extended. This demotivates players from even considering to buy the pass. A slap in the face to the people who buy battlepasses.

Lack of compensation

As far as I know, no extra skins, or crystals, the main attraction of these passes. Theres a mount but these were inclided in previous battlepasses will less tiers. I dont agree with the statement that "Its a good deal because you get 4 skins and recolors for 600 crystals" because again, youre not even guaranteed the skins because you have to grind for them.

Balance updates could potentially take longer:

I say potentially because battlepasses and updates usually align with each other being released at the same time. If we have to wait longer for them this could be bad as the game still has bugs and balance issues that need to be fixed at a good pace for players to remain playing the game.

Battlepass popularity:

The reveal of the new battlepass hasnt had overall positive reception. This could potentially lead to less sales of pass despite it being the most popular direct purchase item in the game. The overall reputation could start to dwindle which unless higher expectations are met.

Higher expectations from the community:

Elaborating on what was said on the last point. The expectations for better quality skins, sprays, etc. will rise and if those expectations are met this will backfire on Hi-rez.

Final notes:

I understand that the developers are in a tough spot with isolation and im rooting for them. I just dont think that this extension was necessary and hope that it isnt considered for future passes. I listed some of the negatives and understand there are benefits out of this. They are just so heavily out weighed by the negatives. Maybe more time is what they need in these trying times to get good content out to the community and I hope it pays off

Why is Evil Mojo constantly full of shit, especially in their promo videos?

Posted: 02 Apr 2020 06:54 PM PDT

I think we all remember the utter catastrophe that was their HRX 2018 video where they bragged constantly on and on about getting pretty much everything you could imagine in this game. They practically didn't deliver anything. The video basically invented cringe as an emotion.

Fast forward to HRX 2019, in this video they've acknowledged lack of content using the excuse of bug fixing, but yet again they bragged about something, which is six new battle passes in 2020.

Fast forward to the update show, they announced a battle pass increase by 50%, meaning all they said about them is a lie. There is no way to fit six of them in a year like they told they'd deliver.

Why would you shit so much on your loyal community? You're there because of your community, not vice versa. You need them to keep updating your games and getting profit from them, so some honesty is the least they should get. Why even bother making such videos if everything you say in them is a bullshit? This is a new level of pathetic.

On top of already cut content due to "bug fixing", now the game is getting even less content, it still feels buggy, it crashes, it feels stale with 1 and a half functioning gamemode with horrible matchmaking, without events. But hey at least we can look forward to your fake full-of-bullshit-and-empty-promises hrx videos. I'll hit that dislike button with ease, that is, if you even manage to survive as a company until November, given how you treat your customers. Shame on all of you, really.

Edit: as u/macri9 already mentioned, prolonging the battle passes defeats their initial purpose of giving the same ammount of crystals over the course of 2 months you'd get from daily logins, given that they've deleted them and explained their changes exactly this way. If the crystals remain the same this is the most shameless change they've ever done on top of already enormous pile of questionable changes to this game.

Hirez needs to put players in ranks they actually belong. Today's Golds are not "Average" skilled players

Posted: 02 Apr 2020 06:21 PM PDT

Look I know I sound like an asshole and I probably am, but seriously these players are not good at all. I know Hirez doesn't want to hurt feelings or discourage anyone, but Gold would signify "Average", however it seems that the average players are probably Plat 3 -Diamond 4. Today's golds have no idea what they're doing, what to buy and they can't fight. It would be one thing for them to lack in the mental side of Paladins and have their aim carry them to higher ranks, but these guys can't do either. Don't get me wrong there are some definite average players in gold but they're in the minority. If you play a game with a larger playerbase like Overwatch, Gold has actual average players, they make mistakes but typically have solid aim and can make some good plays on occasion.

I guess if you play with today's bronze and silvers you do see that it gets way worse, you'd swear these guys are playing with their toes. Anyways I didn't do this to be toxic, I am saying there needs to be a hard reset and during placements, put players where they actually belong or change the names of the ranks and what they represent because Gold is not average. The result would be better match-making in terms of the actual players in the match even with bad MM you end up with better quality game because the Golds in Master GM games wouldn't be bronze level, they'd be average and something you can work with consistently.

You can use kinetic burst right after shoulder bash to launch people into the stratosphere. 1. Get your kinetic blast ready 2. Shoulder bash 3. Right after you hit someone, use kinetic blast. If timed right they will be yeeted off the map.

This is why hitboxes need to be fixed. Both bullet and player.

Maeve is impossible to hit on console and it's a real issue

Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:23 PM PDT

It's a real issue that I think the vast majority of players would agree with me on. Because of the shitty aim assist that you can't adjust at all that's forced on console players she's a nightmare to track. The game should be balanced for all platforms

Should i do anything about being spawn camped in quick play seige?

Posted: 02 Apr 2020 05:00 PM PDT

When i was playing paladins, i random queued into a match against an enemy team who obviously had coordination and could communicate well, they were also very experienced, they would not stop spawncamping our team, occasionaly i slipped past and even captured the objective once, but when they found anyone who did get past them, they would all swarm that person and atleast two would ult, and then spray and emote when they killed us, each match would last around five to ten minutes due to them not even attempting to capture the objective. at the end of the match they were being generally toxic and when i spoke up about their general toxicity, and even said i may report them, they became even more toxic, one even saying about how the coronavirus should kill us kids, there was a point in the match where i even broke down crying because of their spawn camping, what should i do? Should i report them or not think about it.
