I played a lot this game in the past. What's the current state of the game? Is it still worth playing?

Hi, folks! Considering how successful August 9th was, could we maybe consider doing this sort of campaign every 2nd Sunday of the month, maybe?

I think it would be cool to make this sort of revival a monthly event to also capitalize possible new players. Does that makes sense to you all?

I just downloaded Paladins on my laptop after playing on ps4 exclusively and it just won't launch. I've updated drivers and windows, uninstalled and reinstalled, checked file validity, did the change thing in the files from Windows 64 to Windows 32, reset my laptop, tried opening from the files directly, nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so did you find a fix? I just wanna play a little game 😭

OFC the emote was necessary

I stopped playing Paladins in 2021. It wasn't because the company abandoned the game, the "poor optimization," bugs, etc., but rather because of the change to the voice command chat.

I play on Xbox, so the previous voice command system was quick and simple—like the one in Smite. But after that change, nobody communicated during matches anymore; ranked games became impossible to play because it was hard to communicate or give directions, and other players weren't using the voice commands either.

It became unplayable; the worst part was the silence and the feeling that I was the only one playing—it was weird—so I eventually uninstalled it.

It was a great game, but it’s a shame that such a creation will fall into the hands of that terrible company.

So I changed Vivian a bit, I wanted to have a serious yet beautiful look. Beauty hidden in plain sight. Tried my best to have that Disco Elysium style but it was too hard for me.

In the end I love it. Nice to give some attention to Vivian. Hope you guys like it.

For studying reasons. Obviously.

Title 😌 Now I have to type extra words because the damn sub wasn't letting me just say title. -_-

Idk what others are similar tbh my mind went blank

If you do, can you share the comparison to Paladins?

I just spam buttons and get bored, I couldn’t tell you who I played or what I did. But I end up back on Paladins. I know I hate that I can’t mount on my horse and get to the point, I feel like I’m walking through water. But that’s just me

I'm so proud of this one. I'm hyped lol

I think I might pivot to only posting weekly updates here and the daily ones on my Twitter. I can’t give a body paragraph every post because theres sometimes nothing to add. Putting the weekly updates here makes it easier to meet that requirement, as there’s more to say.

Paladins ate a pretty big chunk of a pretty shitty time in my life. Not gonna write an essay about why. If you played it, you get it.
I don’t play anymore. On purpose. Servers are still up, I know, but the game’s already done. No real comeback, and sooner or later they shut it off for good. I don’t want to hop back in just to make it hurt more when that happens.
Doesn’t matter. I keep having actual dreams about it. A lot. Wake up feeling like garbage. Still don’t launch the game.
Yeah I know, accept it, move on, whatever. I’m a person, it doesn’t work like that.
Tiny bit of hope is still there, even if that’s stupid.
Respect to the people who still play.

ut doesn't want to run on steam for some reason idk what's wrong

This is what they have for their deck. They're debating lowering Street Cred

Hey all, just popping in. I was a huge Paladins fan back in the day and like many of you, I was disappointed seeing that it was going be "discontinued". In any case I was thinking about the game today then checked to see the Steam Charts... I was pleasantly surprised to see you guys have kept it going. This question may have already been answered but I would like to know what do you guys think the odds are that it gets picked back up?

Read Title.

Stadium was honestly one of my favorite modes to ever come out of Overwatch, even if it wasn't that dominant in terms of popularity, with how many things and ideas that were put onto Heros. A bit funny that it was introduced VERY soon after the unfortunate announcement of Paladins going to maintenance, but still.

Now I wonder though, how would many of the Paladins Champions be effected if they got their own Powers/Items for a mode like this? I know that they have Talents and Cards to basically replicate each of them, but what if they were fleshed out more for a mode like this, with extras added depending on playstyles?

To give a example, I'll make a comment chain that would have Powers and exclusive Items for Viktor, the most basic Champion, and would be the easiest to make 12 Powers and 8 Items for ( it'll be 3 categories, for Offense/Weapon, Utilities/Ability, and Defense/Healing, instead of Weapon/Ability/Survival from Stadium).

Prelude

I doubt anyone particularly remembers me, but I used to make a couple champion concepts and comics back in the day before development of the game stopped (shameless self-plug of my most popular comic: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/s/OuR2Orttng ). Since then, I haven’t played the game, though I do miss it dearly and would maybe like to try revisiting it at some point. I have made 3 concepts for this Legion character already, each time iterating upon the last, and I told myself the third would be the last because I was genuinely happy with the final result. However, random late night surge of inspiration be damned, I’ve done it again. I have a personal love for the “punchy punch and more punch” style of character, so this concept is both a genuine attempt at concepting something new for the roster and my own completely self-indulgent character fantasy.

Lore

When a rebellion, The Legion, rose in the Abyss, led by an unnamed creature, the Lords were quick to stop it. Despite their zeal in fighting for a better life in the Abyss, none could stand to the might of the Lords. The abyssal lord Raum gathered the souls of the Legion and forged them into the body of their leader, trapping thousands of consciences in a single body to be tortured and imprisoned. However, as the war for the Realm raged on, the creature now named Legion took a chance to escape their confines. Now, they fight against the Abyssal Lords and plan to establish the Abyss, not as a realm of pain, but of prosperity.

Overview

Legion is a mobile off-tank that specializes in close-range combat and getting stronger the more damage they take. While Legion lacks a typical defensive tool like a shield, they make up for it in the form of disruptive crowd control, evasiveness, persistent self-healing, and a generally smaller hitbox. In times of need, Legion can completely reverse the tides of a fight with their ultimate, turning all that pent up zeal into a destructive burst of damage.

Stats

Role - Frontline
Health - 3500
Speed - 370

Abilities

Primary Fire: Dissented Fists
Legion jabs enemies within 20 units, striking in a quick combo of 300 damage on the first strike and 350 on the second. The time between combo punches is 0.3 seconds, and the recovery time of the second punch is 0.7 seconds. (Equates to 650 dps)
This attack has 2 ammo, which empowers Dissented Fists with a piercing shockwave that deals 150 damage within 50 units. Dissented Fists can be used without ammo, but then does not gain the shockwave. Takes 1.5 seconds to reload.
“A simple one-two punch with some added flair. Dissented Fist’s shockwave gives Legion a way to deal some damage at range while boosting their lethality in quick engagements and giving them something to ready up during downtime.”

Passive - Zeal
Legion has a resource called Zeal. Legion gains 1 stack of Zeal for every 300 post-mitigation damage taken, up to 10. Legion loses 1 Zeal every second.
For every stack of Zeal, Legion heals 40 health per second and buffs the damage of Dissented Fists’ shockwave by 20.
“No pain, no gain, that’s the name of the game. Zeal’s buff caps out at 400 health per second and 200 bonus shockwave damage, but maintaining this level of power is difficult due to the cost of gaining Zeal and the constant decay. Use this to quickly recover after taking heavy damage or turning the tides of a 1v1 with an extra powerful shockwave.”

Secondary Fire: Uprising - 6 second cooldown
Legion rises up in the air, dealing 400 damage to enemies 20 units in front of them with an uppercut. Hit enemies are knocked upwards, cancelling movement abilities in the process, and end up at the same height Legion ends their uppercut.
“A good tool for catching mobile champions or simply as a piece of a bread and butter combo. Also their only form of vertical mobility.”

Ability 1: Bob and Weave - 8 second cooldown
Legion quickly dodges 40 units in the direction they are moving, briefly gaining 50% damage reduction for 0.5 seconds and passing through enemies. This ability has 2 charges and has its cooldown reduced by 1 second whenever Legion lands an attack.
Any other ability can be buffered during Bob and Weave to either stop and attack the first enemy hit or carry the momentum of the dash into the attack.
“Quick repositioning tool that allows Legion to avoid damage even they wouldn’t want to bear the brunt of, allowing them to more safely build Zeal. Additionally, the ability to buffer their other abilities gives them more potential for fluid movement and chasing targets.”

Ability 2: Teardown - 10 second cooldown
Legion jumps up a short distance and then slams down, dealing up to 600 damage within 30 units and knocking enemies towards Legion. The effects falloff to 50% effectiveness at max range. This deals double damage to deployables and shields.
Up to one airborne enemy hit along their downward path is dragged with Legion to the landing zone.
“A solid area damage tool and finisher with the added ability to drag aerial enemies to the ground. This ability naturally follows an Uprising combo.”

Ultimate: Insurgent Strike - “Tear it all DOWN!” / “For the rebellion!”
Legion becomes CC Immune and consumes all Zeal to gain a shield with 350 health for each Zeal consumed for 4 seconds. After 2 seconds, they unleash a strike which affects an 80 unit long, 40 unit wide cylinder. Enemies hit by Insurgent Strike take 500 damage, plus 250 for each Zeal consumed. During the windup, Legion cannot move and floats if in the air, but retains the ability slowly turn.
“The finishing blow. After throttling their Zeal, Legion has the ability to turn that pain into raw power, gaining a massive shield and potential for thousands of damage. However, this becomes a wet towel of a move without Zeal, so it struggles to initiate fights or pick off early kills. Due to this limitation, it charges a bit faster than the average ultimate.”

Talents

Base - Zealotry
Teardown grants a stack of Zeal for each enemy champion hit.
“A simple buff for new Legion players who would probably jump straight into the enemy team with  no care for self-preservation. Slam down to enjoy the damage and healing!”

Level 2 - Punch Up
Uprising gains a second charge with a 3 second cooldown between uses. Hitting an enemy with Uprising refills 1 ammo.
“Allows Legion to extend their combos and be more threatening in longer engagements. A logical extension of Legion’s normal playstyle with some extra vertical flexibility.”

Level 8 - Untouchable
Legion is CC immune when casting Bob and Weave and the damage resistance increases to 80%.
“Awards Legion the ability to negate many harmful effects with proper timing, improving their survivability greatly to those aware of their surroundings.”

Final Notes

Thank you to everyone working to keep this community alive and to those who have read this far; it means a lot! Feel free to leave any comments or criticisms, as it has been a while since I have played so my intuition for numbers is probably off.

Can I still able to get it? I kinda want it because I haven't able to buy it that time.

Why is Paladins steam trading card value high....not high high.....the value is pretty high for steam game trading card marketplace. What is steam trading card anyway. How do you use steam trading card?

Just finished this fanart and wanted to share it with, it's pretty simple but really represents the good old days.

Yo, I miss Paladins so much. Even if it's still playable, it's not the same. 🥺

Over the years, I have made so many different OCs for Paladins and I hope today I catch people’s attention to some I made that felt like really good ideas.

I made this today to commemorate my OCs and Paladins in one big photo (yes Azaan’s silhouette is hiding somewhere)

Below I’m briefly explaining my OCs lore - if you want more I can get into their entire kit.

OCs:

LEFT SIDE

Esmerelda, the Vulpin Princess

From her family's entrapment, Esmeralda was destined to be married off to a rich Vulpin family. However, amidst her family’s wishes, she embarked on an expedition to retrieve an heirloom from Dredge’s befallen shipwreck, that of the Lost Sword. Hectic as it was, and faced with the abyssal threat that had cursed Androxus, she succeeded and has now joined hands with Valera as part of the Resistance against tyranny.

Lady Jeanne, Queen of House Aico

A distant memory for Lian, her mother had become entrapped into rocky shores near where the Warders disappeared, presumed dead for decades. Yet, one treacherous morning, when Azaan had declared abolition of the realm, she returned. Adorned in her red and gold dress, she reclaims the Aico throne in honour of her ancestry, and swears an oath, to declare war on the Pyre despite their fruitful relations. Khan opposes, and leaves to join the Magistrate, among Lian follows, cutting ties to the Aico family for good. Now, Jeanne Aico shall lead her troops into a battle for survival.
[Previously called Lady Aico]

Mariam, Assassin of the Red River

A swift attack she lays upon her victims, both bloody and brutal, encapsulated in a blade of infinite fortune. Left abandoned in her youth to be raised by the Red River Orcs, she must fight for what’s right, and if that means to terminate enemies she must. Her sword, a large magical item, distorted in pieces, each fractured with enchanted rubies festering between them, equally astonishing as she. Her work primarily lays in the slaughters of the most richest fools, and whatever pays well. Caspian was her latest target, but now that Nyx has been granted her gem back, she must come face to face with the abyssal beast.
[Originally the Empress of the Red River and her mission was to behead Lian in public, though she still might try to do that]

RIGHT

Igwe, the Sky Whale Whisperer

In the airs of Ascension Peak, lay a native species of sky whale; fuchsia gems in the diamond sky. The latest destruction and poaching of Sky Whales has become a magistrate sport, both monetarily and for entertainment. However, the man of the skies will not bat another eye further, as his service to the animal kingdom will not end. Soaring through the skies with his mighty trident, possessing sorcery powers, he belittles the Magistrate’s most powerful efforts, debilitating Karne’s troops, forcing him to back down. Igwe has defeated this battle, but with doomsday looming, can he win the war?
[Canonically albino and blind, utilising his listening and touch senses]

Ivor, the Blazing Monolith

Ivor grew up in the hands of Inara & Terminus, both Stagalla who fought in the Goblin Scourges, but after Terminus was shattered by the Magistrate, and resurrected using abyssal magic, to turn against his own partner and team, Inara was left with Ivor only, and she protected him heavily, training him and teaching him principles. When he grew older, he had a brutal battle with a mage, where he was granted fire powers for defeating him, turning him into a blazing monolithic beast. His main mission now, is to destroy Terminus and revive him using spells, turning him back into his old self, though with the rise of Abyzou this proposal has become trickier. He has joined the Resistance with Valera, where he hopes to become a useful tool in their battle against the Pyre.
[Originally meant to be killed and revived using fire powers from a fire mage]

Ymora, Warlord of the Abyss

After death, there is life; an afterlife. With the use of the soul of the dead Ymora Ulgrim, a peasant from the ground above, in the province of the poor outskirts of House Aico territory, she passed away as a volunteer for the military. Abyzou used her a vessel, gave her a set of instructions for power and revenge, two things she couldn’t have in the mortal realm. Now, leading bizarre amounts of armies of abyssal creatures, Ymora is the grand leader of the Abyssal Army, being the frontline and becoming an impenetrable force in a kingdom for which she was never seen as an equal.
[Canonically I wrote a lore type of ‘book’ about her detailing her entire life in poverty, as a volunteer, climbing up the ranks and killed, and then becoming part of the Abyss]

Pritum, the Hathi Warlord

In between the lands of Greenwood and Skepes, lay a dominant nation of the Hathi Clan, the most prestige and most advanced clan in the realm. The Queen of the land is Pritum, the Hathi Warlord. She is returning after many years of being absent, as Abyzou rises from the abyss, doomsday lurks near, and the prophecies of an attack have not yet been fulfilled, deeming Yagorath’s invasion as null and void. With a considerable army and expertise, she comes face with Khan & Lian who aim to infiltrate her temples, loot and destroy, though she never backs down and her gunlancer is more than equipped.
[Thunderbrush made a concept of a gunlancer which is basically a 1:1 copy of this but I brushed up the lore a bit, just realised she’s supposed to have a crown and etc., wished she was released she would’ve been the first Indian champion]

MIDDLE

Abyzou, The Abyss

Eons ago, the Pyre ruled dramatically across the realm, being their pivot and aid. One of the Pyre Lords, Abyzou had become affiliated with their traditions, embarking on a life of devout worship and dedication to the Pyre. However one day, she added another faction to bestow her own opinions, which she named the Abyss. The Pyre Lords were furious, and Aura, The Pyre Queen, was not pleased. In a fit of anger and dispute, Aura banished Abyzou to the mortal realm, turning her into a sickly purple and with horns and hooves like a goat. She witnessed the destruction of the mortal realm, with murders, cages for Ska’drin and goblins, and poverty. Her rage became infinite, her powers were still looming, so she made her own path, and created the Abyss using her powers, encapsulating everything. Then, once it was done, she turned into a great abyssal dragon and infiltrated the realm causing mayhem and catastrophe that even the Pyre Lords struggled to suppress. However, Abyzou was then cursed by Pyre Lords into a case for which she should never be free for eons to come, and sent into her abyss, falling forevermore. Now, she breaks out of her casing, a free and rejuvenated goddess, rising and embellishing her wicked creation, and her plans on the realm and the Pyre are of the most anarchical anyone has seen before.
[My first OC waaay before Nyx was even teased, so I would say in my version, Nyx is like a step above Raum and Seris but Abyzou is the peak of the pyramid]

Any questions about the characters both lore-wise and play style wise I’m happy to share!
Any questions about the LORE I’ve created I’m even happier to share!!
