An Utterly FANTASTIC Update! - Paladins World Tour PTS Notes

Overwatch: suffering after the tenth consecutive bad patch. Paladins: it seems we’ve received peak. Must be Sunday.

why tf are they nerfing console aim assist?

I love the 3d menu return since it adds another thing to make Paladins feel that much more polished and special. Hopefully features like death cam and top play can make a return as well!

ooh Street Seris and Tyra looking fire! Cant wait! And finally Koga has been nerfed!

cross progression for ps4? never? TwT

Not you saying "No more backshots" Naughty you Andrew

When will they let console players type in chat during the match!

Give us back Warder's gate classic also. I want the big bouncing crystals!

Anyone else freak out when Andrew didn't post at 9 a.m. this morning?

Thanks Mr Paladin!

Some really amazing changes! I’m mostly excited about the Corvus ult buff, Lillith is finally viable again and thank god for the nerf of the Koga claws!😍 My only wish if they’d drop Stone Keep Day and Night and just keep Classic.

damage resistance or Armor penetration should not effect Yagorath at all because that is literally all she has to keep herself alive. or it should only effect Yagorath in travel.

Azaan changes seems good but for the talent, that seems weak.

I think the "After you take 2500 damage, Cleanse all Crowd Control from yourself and heal for 800 over 2.5s." should be saved up and on use of an ability and maybe take less damage to bill up.

Betty La Bomba's Gotta Bounce was always her strongest talent when used with the correct cards like the cooldown one and now it is even stronger. great.

back shots from Caspian huh. I heard what you said.
overall buff

Cassie biggest problem and why she is hard to balance is because of Incitement.

Excitement "Reduce the Cooldown of Dodge Roll by {1|1}s after hitting an enemy with Disengage. " is balance because it is base on another ability.

Incitement "Reduce the Cooldown of Dodge Roll by {1|1}s if you hit an enemy with your first weapon shot after using Dodge Roll. " broken because it is literally base on your next shot.

shoot, roll, shoot, roll, shoot....... is not fun to go up against.

oh top of that, Exaction "For 8s after using Dodge Roll, your next weapon shot's damage is increased by 30%."

the card need a rework or the talent needs a rework.

Corvus
great on frontlines until late game then not worth it.

Grover
Whirlwind and Wisps of Sylvanus would be great if you get 100% of movement speed then it would be his ultimate talent.
if not, trash.

Lillith
good but again damage resistance or Armor penetration should not effect Yagorath.

Kasumi
good buffs... BUT WHY THE F THE REVEAL DISTANCE WAS 100 IN THE FIRST PLACE.

overall undoing the nerfs she got before.

Maeve and Mal’Damba is ok.

Nyx feels like an overall damage and kills nerf. I hope they fixed the ring not increasing with the card.

Octavia
"oh look a flying target"

overall buffs. good. Paratrooper not so much.

Ruckus Advance should work base on where he is looking and which way he is move.
if he is looking up and pressing forward, it will go up and forward.
if he is looking up and pressing back, it should go down and back.
if he is looking down and pressing back, it should go up and back.
if he is look down and pressing forward, it should go down and forward.

Seris
this should have been the case but good overall.

Strix
Crack Shot is now 100% his best and only talent.

VII
good but Execute Article VII do not have another 7s in it.

it should be "Execute Article LXXVII"
"Decree 77 now targets the closest enemy with laser lock-on. After .7s, your eye blasts them and deals 1000 damage in a 27-unit radius. Anyone hit is Executed if below 27% after."

that is 7 7s.

Talus
that is just an overall nerf.

Vatu
overall undoing the nerfs from before and when adding that in, it is an overall nerf from back then. he should not stop reloading when dashing anyway.

Viktor and Vivian is buffs and good for people with movement sickness.

Vora
Parasitic Pull seem like it is just adding another way to do damage. also I found out it pulls you to them so you can get in close to them exactly.

overall a buff but Eclipsed Affection is still stronger because 2 cooldown reductions.

"Reduce Obliteration's Cooldown by 2s, and by 50% after earning an Elimination" it is already getting 2 seconds and another 50% just for getting an Elimination.

it does not say an Elimination with it but any. that means it is first going down from 11 to 9 then it is going down from 9 to 4.5.

then on top of that "When used at max Darkness stacks, deal an additional 100 bonus damage", that is just overall broken. 3 buffs no negative.

they should separate rollers on console and pc
not nurf all roller players cus in ps with 6fps is not that dangerous compared to 240fps pc roller

Im about to pop off with my ghost girl!

To make this clrear, nerfing roller aim assist doesn't change much, but harms actual console players. Think about it: every frame the cursor pulls with an x strength to a target. On a console, which usually has 60fps, you get that pull 60 times/s, while on pc it's 300. If you nerf it for 20% (or 40%, whatever), you get (x-20%)*60 vs (x-20%)*300. Now, let's be clear: console players are usually not as good as pc players, and aim assist, objectively, was not that oppressive even before the first nerf of it, but you are just telling the "weaker" part of playerbase, that their experience is going to be worse even more, while pc roller players wont really feel the difference, because the magnetism is, yes, not as potent, as it used to be, but the number itself of checking to pull the crosshair is still 300 times/s. The only solution is to do something with how often aim assist checks for pulling towards nearest enemy, basically make it to be not dependent from fps, but rather from a timer. Please, mr paladins, if you read this, try to speak about it and how it needs a different solution, because i believe it's really detremental to this game

can't wait for damage resistance reduction resistance

FINALLY CORVUS ULT CHANGE, literally stayed alive to witness this. And this update could've been a lot better if Seris' skin was actually Evie's tho

Potential support vora with the tendril talent?

So paladins take what is best from overwatch in next update? as a veteran paladins player and current ov player I LOVE these news

WIllo's nerf makes no sense. Please show me the build that allows you to hover in the air permanently.

Now, we just need a fully free custom match editor with all modes, and we are all right.

Still no Terminus DR after ult? Disappointed.

I'm really impressed by what I see in these patch notes. In a good way! I didn't know what they were doing internally this past year, but it's great! The game is still buggy, which keeps holding people back, but the changes are amazing.

Betty is so underrated, I’m so glad that the movement penalty has been removed because I love using her as a flank
Why did they butcher Cassie so bad😭

Can someone explain why people think Betty is bad?

When does this drop to consoles ?? I’ve been wanting to get back into the game, this season of overwatch is pretty bad

SEA servers still dead after update or wot :c. I wanna play with good ping

THERES NO WAY THAT NOT AN EVIE SKIN????

I’m pissed about Grover.

And his ultimate should make him immune to all damage.

And if I use my ultimate at low health I should heal all the way immediately. I should not use my ultimate and still die 3 seconds in running away.

I just want them to bring back my main Vii I’m so tired of playing support when I slaughter with Vii

Yeah so why do we keep nerfing aim assist? Just take away aim assist if your on roller with pc, stop punishing and making console players even worse. Ruining the balance of the game while trying to fix it- Paladins in a nutshell

as soon as I get cassie she gets poison removed 😢 let me be toxic pls

Once marvel rivals comes out im done with this game. Paladins had so much potential but no workers to manage balance, skins, maps, bug fixes, etc.

I'm a bit of a Kasumi main because playing her with haunted ground is so fun, and those buffs look perfect for that play style. i'm gonna have a lot of fun if those changes come to the live server.

those Kasumi buffs are about to make me rise from my coffin and play paladins again

i have been out of the loop in paladins for so long, but has there been any new champ releases since omen?

LES GOOOOOOOOO
I LOLVE PALADINS

Andrew felt BK was too easy that he personally asked EM to up his difficulty setting from easy to normal

Your mention of that 7 minute spawn camp reminded me of the time my friends and I got placed against you. We range from high gold to low plat and we spent that whole match just getting dumpstered.

An idea for VII; In Warframe, if I remember correctly, there's an assult rifle called The Boltor which shoots projectiles instead of bullets, so basically, take away VII's hitscan, give him burst mode projectiles and maybe keep hitscan on magdump, and remove automatic mode, so we can have the same pattern with hyper mobile champions we have had before: High mobility Flank? Slow projectile weapons for you!

Is it time to come back??

just as a PSA: nyx's poison is currently bugged on the PTS and doesn't do any damage

i don't know people felt about Kinessa's Octopressor but personally i really enjoyed it, i never thought it was too strong or too weak that it needed to be changed entirely, but i think it gave her more team utility, idk, i wish they kept it personally. Disclaimer: I'm super casual in Paladins and barely ever delved into ranked with no Meta knowledge whatsoever, so if anyone can explain why this change was deemed necessary, please tell me cuz i have no idea.

I’ve been playing CM pip for years and I had no clue there wasn’t aim assist wtf

My man barik still on life support. Sad.
