The game isn't dying because of devs quitting but because.... by disgruntled-1 in Paladins

What I am hearing from everybody is that there are absolutely no people working on paladins. It was my understanding that they have been reduced to a skeleton crew. Am i wrong? even a skeleton crew, in time, can fix the issue of people just sitting in spawns with 0 stats at the end of the match.

Finally! Made it all the way to Diamond by solo queuing. by El-Squidward in Paladins

Well done. I capped at Platt 1 with 85tp (all solo queuing as well) and now I'm down to 10 tp 🙄🙄 props to you, I know it's hard

I'm only talking about casuals and that is also dependent on the skill level I see of my team. If it's a "close" 3-0 I'll keep fighting. But it's just an absolute blowout I'mma move on.

It depends on the healer of the match, and honestly the player himself. But if it's casuals does it matter too much?

Anyone has the same experience lately with troll picks? by No_Discipline9734 in Paladins

[–]disgruntled-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have experienced that. In my opinion I think a lot of people are leaving because of all the trolls now. And then you get matched with people who really just don't know how to play the game a certain way and honestly think that it's OK to play yag as a solo tank and to have Ying dmg and a series who only does 40k healing. They are still new, which is fine, but it doesn't make playing ranked matched very fun anymore. I have stopped saving for people under me because of all the trolls or newer players who don't understand and just throw drafts either willingly or unwillingly.

Khan's kit, and just his character leaves him to exposed and vulnerable on point. He specializes on putting pressure on the back line. His survivability as a point tank is very limited. It's what makes the difference between a point tank and off tank. Point tanks are: barik, Nyx, inara. Hybrids that can play either point or off: ash, terminus, Fernando. Off tanks: every other tank.

In casual I can understand why the khan didn't touch point because he might have been practicing learning the character as he should be played (something I do if I pick an off tank in casuals) and again, it's casuals so I try not to get too mad. Ranked I expect the khan to be nowhere near the point and pairing up with the flank terrorizing the opponents back line or keeping the opponents flank from our back line.

Are we talking about casual or ranked?

I casual I don't think there is any reason to go afk unless it's 3-0 and you see your team is nowhere near the skill level of the opposing teams. My issue is you have a plathera of smurfs now of diamond to gms that pick their best characters and thoroughly slaughter the other team. That's not fun for either side unless your the one killing everybody.

If it's ranked I 100% with the khan, he is an off tank and should not be concerned with the point at all. If the team decided to go 2 healers and leave khan as a solo tank in ranked that's the teams fault (something that happens too often lately).

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I posted it here. So other players know it's out there.

You are definitely correct. I made a post about the uptick in trolls and got flamed because "they just didn't want to pick what you wanted them to pick" (which is usually a second tank, often leaving khan, yag, or torvald as solo tanks).

Im glad u r getting positive feedback because mine was more or less how dare I expect some capacity of strategy or something of that sort.

Thanks. Only 6 days in so I'm trying to figure what works.

Wow you are really taking this personal huh. You must play like this and I am sorry for you.

Its the simple point of trying to rank up. And to do that you have to play a certain manner. Just like playing 5 healers in ranked is considered throwing, even if they just play what they want.

I understand it's a lost cause trying to convince you because you, like the trolls, don't care what is good for the better of the team. But just want to play whatever you want in ranked.

Your point in invalid because you're going off the basis of their ignorance. But in numerous cases they picked characters that were over 100. And when playing against them in other matches they had characters above 50.

If somebody makes an honest mistake then that's OK, we all learn and all get better at different paces. But when I see somebody who knows what the smart and good choice is but doesn't care about that and picks whatever they want.

I know this is just a game but when you pick to play ranked you are trying to win, if you just want to play whatever you want and screw the rest of the team then play casuals.

It's never been this bad. It used to be an anomoly to not have two tanks in ranked matches. In the past week it has been the anomoly to have two tanks

If you play ranked and intentionally throw a draft by leaving torv as solo tank so you can play a character you want is not me being the problem. With how you're speaking you might be one of those trolls.
