    3:26 THANK YOU. What annoys me about trying to come back to paladins after all these years is that it looks the exact same as it did when I played it in middle school.
    On the topic of that, Smite 2 is in the same spot. It doesn't exist. The Smite 2 "beta" still feels like an early dev build.
    Imagine if Nintendo released a Smash Bros title with a tenth of the characters they promised available, and said "Dont worry guys we're going to add one character a week!"

    Holy shit, a fellow person who got introduced to the game via switch around the same time as I!? (Haha, I joined when Furia was added!) I've hung around the community even after the switch was no longer supported. But this game was a big part throughout my life and has definitely inspired me in many ways. It's sad to see it go, but the lack of content and witnessing the "jumping of the shark" happening here with smite 2 just like Overwatch 2 I suppose was a tell tale. And to think I was literally just considering getting it on my computer. It's sad, but I'm glad it has given me such great memories and friends I never would have met otherwise.

    Big portion of the video is complaining about "bad changes, wasted time, you could have spent it on what community wanted". It's 10000% management to blame. Devs did amazing job. Devs did what they can do with what they have. Like, they can't make new skins without designer. They can't build new map without map artist. They can't make new champion without sketches, animator, voicelines, voice actor/actress, etc

    • @LICH_REAPER
      @LICH_REAPER  วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      But the devs CAN make changes that the community supports. My point was that they made bad changes AFTER the community told them they were bad, therefore wasting time.
      Additionally, they took on too ambitious projects for a tiny dev team to handle. Whoever was in charge of deciding what they would do next shouldn't have had such gigantic aspirations, cause the dev team didn't have the resources to do them properly

    Up until this video I had never heard of you but I'm glad I saw this video. I have to agree with 99% of your points here. I've been with the game for 7 years and got to see a lot it's phases come and go for better or for worse. The lack of advertising was always a huge issue for this game and it blew my mind how the company ever expected to sell a product without advertising it.
    The experimenting was also a huge waste of resources. The week of the shut down I was planning on having a write up in the feedback discord about how they should have a dev driven feedback section where they get community feedback on their ideas while they are still at the "drawing board" before spending resources on getting them to the pts state of testing. It's all just too little too late now.

    • @LICH_REAPER
      @LICH_REAPER  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      based on past stories, i really dont think it would have done anything. this game has had a consistent loop of coming up with bad ideas, the community pushing against it, them implimenting the idea regardless, and eventually reverting it. the devs just... don't listen.

    what i have found is that ever since nyx came out, i have never felt passionate about the game and only played it because i played it before, i wasnt hyped and it was more like a filler to my every day life, just play it and hope something funny happens. Ranked has been dead for years so i never even bothered trying to get anywhere there and i dont even remember when was the last time i played alone was. Its sad to see paladins end up like this, however i am not surprised, there wasnt that much drive to play from the community for the last couple of months either, completely lost track of what is happening. I wish paladins ended up finding its playerbase and living on, but this is its faith that hirez has chosen.

      Wdym that ranked had been dead for years? I started playing ranked only recently and as the devs said, ranked was always the least popular to play, but when I played it everything worked fine. There has been a leaderboard since always with many many players, frames that were given after reaching the rank, levels assigned to the player, ranking rewards for the number of matches, and always a reward skin that changed every season. Seasons also changed regularly and were announced on social media and in game. And still a lot of players - in most matches the nicknames changed, I didn't play with the same people.

    i dont even know when i started playing this game but it was in open beta. i went away for a while and when i came back i saw the they'd automatically added "anti-healing". Before that was an item in the game called cauterize... it really seemed like like a huge nerf to the support class all together... like if your opps didn't choose between wrecker or cauterize your healer was still effective... i didn't have any idea how the game had gotten to that point but i knew i wasn't going to put the time in like i had before to relearn the new mechanics of the game.

  • @Redmentoos
    @Redmentoos 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Paladins made one decision that ultimately killed it. It needed a re-release or a sequel because the engine was outdated before release, and after *OW2* and *Rivals* came out, it was like comparing games ten years apart. The balance decisions were irrelevant because people wanted a good, stable game that didn't crash. Changes to Seris and Moji were great; it's just that small wrong decisions seemed much more significant given the game's actual problems. Paladins has good balance now compared to others, but it doesn't feel that way because every lost game feels like it was lost due to crashes, bugs, or hackers. If I want to really call out which update decisions were the worst, it would actually be the removal of things like killcam and highlights. Because balance is not important (if you play Rivals, you know…), what is important is the fun casual people have. Killcam helped with sweaty players because you at least know what they do. And why highlights are fun, I don't need to explain… But actually, in the end, it was just money. They would rather release new champions as long as they could to milk the cow until it is drained than invest in it. If you compare Paladins' gameplay with Smite's gameplay, you will know exactly what I mean. If you crash every other game, even on a console or high-end PC, that is the problem.

    • @elmercy4968
      @elmercy4968 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Strange thing is, that Seris is a very popular Paladins character. The most played support and well balanced. So why would they change her kit if she works so well obviously? Wouldn't the logical step be to rework unpopular characters? I would have loved to play Megapotion Pip but he simply stayed unplayable. The logical step would have been to rework once popular champions who fell from grace, so they are fun again. Or like they did with Buck, who was once the most unpopular champion by far and got very popular due to his rework.

    The most criminal change that made me genuinely pissed off at the developers was rhe moji rework.
    They really fucking deleted a whole champions identity. A champion who had dozens of mains who played them learned their ins and outs and loved the character and deleted it.
    Skme people say it was a good change as they couldn't balance moji properly but I'll tell you right now it doesn't matter. If you can't balance a champion while keeping their Identity intact (like kasumi who honestly even if she got completely deltes wouldve been fine as she didn't have anyone who mained her seriously unlike moji wirh people who played her for years) then you are just incompetent.
    I just cant help but compare it to how i would feel if my main evie the sole character that made me spend around 600 hours mastering them and kept me engaged with the game as i grinded my mehcanics and got better got delted. Just devastating. Since that change i was already on a semi brake from paladins but i stopped playing due to how i felt like i got spat on and i barely have moji on level 10.
    Oh well regardless of whose fault it is its sad seeing my favorite game the one i enjoyed most during my teens get abandoned and knowing soon enough I'll be unable to go on a casual match to hurt my wrist with nasty flicks that make me orgasm and bully my fellow gamers :[

      @@DemiCape honestly if you struggle against moji it's just a skillgap. Moji when fighting equal skilled enemies will almost always lose simply because at low skill she's hard to play and loses and at high level you understand how to fight her and she struggles to get value. In the middle where most skilled moni players are against People who don't know how to deal with her is where the complaints are mostly coming from.
      I do think as a flank she wasn't properly made and was one of the worst put out characters in all the aspects of a flank but if they were willing to put in the resources to make her a support them they could've just reworked (not buffed or nerfed but changed how they work) some of her abilities to keep her identity but just be different and more in line with other flanks
