Is This The End Of Paladins? 

I've played paladins since 2017. The game by itself, imho, is in the best state since 2020/21 (from the jenos+corvus meta), but the amount of cheaters, ddos and it's slowly decreasing online really kills it. Also idk, the day after i got a notification, that a cheater i've reported got banned (i believe his name was paladinsbldr2), all these servers issues began happening. Maybe it's just a coincidence, who knows

If we know who DDOS them, can't Hi-Rez just sue the hackers for the potential loss of benefit they provoked ? Don't know how the law works here but they probably have enough information to

Yea I think its time to say good bye Zarini

Propably not, there are still players who will play it even with 2k players. But i think hi-rez will just pull the plug in the end of 2024. Because how is this game even profitable?

Reasons why I don't play just now: 1. Ranked is infested with ceaters; 2. Matches are getting dropped; 3. I am busy with my exams; 4. I HATE CROSSPLAY SOOOOO MUCH. In fact this is the second thing I hate in this game after cheaters

Petition for paladins 2

Bro you've been overdramatic. Come join some casuals fr fr

Honestly no ranked made casuals so much more enjoyable and been having many more close games When you don't crash cause of drophacks and you are actually able to play, this is the most fun I've had in the game in a while I know that this might look like a weird take, but having only one queue for the Siege mode is very nice

I’ve played paladins since end 2016, this is really sad

I wouldn't mind seeing a tank load out guide. Go through each tank and explain why you use the cards that you use. The ruckus techs on each map would be good to see as well. I've used the timber mill tree tech since you explained it

You should try the removed talents LTM and give your thoughts on possible future talents like shellspin Makoa

Paladins 2 copium while I love the balance and this is the most fun I’ve been having in a while the game just doesn’t have the support it needs so hopefully a sequel can bring new life but I’m coping HARD

I used to be addicted to this game. I endured the cheating and griefing in multiple accounts for so loooooong. Devs didn't even raise the base minimum requirements to join a ranked match which was the bare minimum to start with. Cheating is out of control. I don't believe this game has an anti-cheat based on what i have seen so far. Fix the cheating, fix the multi accounting griefing and ranked will actually become enjoyable once again and we will have many more future bangers, fr, fr. Love you zarini, i hope you find a new game to do content for us, paladins is not worth the pain right now.

Paladins 2 will save us all

once marvel rivals drops, a lot of will shift there

Correct, I do not play the game anymore. I watch occasionally but don't and do not want to play anymore. The servers and cheaters make it unplayable. I've been playing a ton of "Predecessor" and the game is a blast. Harder and more fun.

Game needs a reboot.

Not going to lie, I don't think Paladins 2 would revive it, they left it way to long.

Paladins servers were attacked by Overwatch developers, they have money to order hackers, when they saw 6k online, they decided to finally kill the game and lure these 6k players

I think it's over and time to branch off to other games. Maybe play paladins on the side but try other Varity games. Z1unknown hasn't touched paladins in nearly 2 months for obvious reasons and I don't think he plans to come back unless they do something with the game like paladins 2

Ive played this game since 2018 but ive never touched ranked once because I qued couple times over the years but after 20+ mins each time with no game i gave up 😅. Xbox player btw.

honestly, i dont think paladins will die, its still a decent class base shooter

first time i see you in my recommended, been playing since the beta, quit about two years ago and just got back into it. when it came to the training modes, I rarely ever in the past got under 4 real players on my team, and they were always lively, talking crap in the chat and using hte voice commands. now im lucky if i get one or two other people. most of hte time im playing with bots against bots, Casual que doesnt happen, and im not really interested in trying ranked either as its probably worse.

Just a suggestion till rank servers are down BUT doing vod reviews might be a good idea.

i dont understand how someone prefers to use his time to hack and mess with peoples fun than doing somethink productive in their lives, like they are the biggest losers, i imagine them as 12 yo kids that are fat and dont go out

im sad :c

At this point we need a rich kid in the community that likes paladins and puts a bounty on the DDos kids adress or identity

I really hope they are thinking about paladins 2😢

I wouldn’t mind casuals showing off other techs you liek doing , I’ve been enjoying learning from your ruckus videos

i quit because of a performance bug, but i don't see myself coming back anytime soon. game is in the worst state it's ever been rn

One who involves ddosing these servers is someone in the server called mehmet and teaches others how to ddos

This cheating problem is basically impossible to solve, companies like Bungie try to fix it by suing the company that makes the cheats but even that doesn't solve the problem for too long

Off topic: why the hell are you stacking ad blockers? Ublock origin works best when its used alone.

I would be down to fill a spot if you were to make a custom ranked matches :D Sadly on either NA's ping or Russia's occasional drops but until EU is down thats the only option 💪

yeah because I can't get on it, it's screwed and the servers are broken.

can u play another game it would be fun while ranked is down

what will you play if someday soon hirez just comes out and says they are not making enough money so they are shutting down paladins?

Played the game for 6000 hours and that is it for me . I can't play it anymore.

you are not that dramatic bro. the server are ruined in eu for like 26 days already. they disabled runked it never happened before... and they left the eu players clueless and still do. they dont even put an effort to let us know they work on our issue. its not any other game that getting dropped by the server. it is rare to actually finish a match. and the majority of middle east players have to play threw eu and have 180 ping in na and any other server is even worse with even more lag and impossible queue times

The player numbers are not that bad. It was 9K two years ago and is 7K now. There are no new champions but healer Moji was played a lot. They could make other old champions attractive again, by giving them changes like they did with Willo. The cheaters are only a problem at high ELO, I didn't have a single cheater in my last 50 ranked games or so. So Paladins could still run for a few years. If they can keep the servers running, that is.

You think paladins uses the cheapest version of Easy Anti Cheat? Cause the only anti cheat ive seen that is this bad is battle eye anti cheat.

yes

When realm royale is in a better state than paladins yk its bad

as much as i love paladins and ranked. the game currently is so shitty :c

Maybe it's for the best, let the game be down and work on Paladins 2

obviusly only way hirez making money is by sweet baby supporting them

im playing no problem on na i have 10 sec queues the game is not dead i have not seen any cheaters recently

Ya can do top tear champs and tear lists. Plays mabye some casuals.

Basically

1400 h in game and I think its the end for me.

I gave up 2 months ago when Gigantic released, I love that game but now Giga has a Steam playerbase of 180 players :´) anyway Paladins feels abandoned last years, so im not returning sadly, just waiting for Marvel Rivals

I uninstalled because Moji Healer.

Play marvel rivals it’s so much better

this is not banger hirez fr fr

Its popular to hate paladins but when call of duty or overwatch 2 has these problems none you blizzard ick riders say a word ohh they fix it

Literally first 30 seconds of the video he shows the peak players has barely budged for the past couple years lol

My boy is coping hard fr fr

The players ruined the game
