1st Paladins Patch of 2024 - Full Breakdown and reaction/review

I think that the item shop is getting worse. Instead of making new items all together they decide to bring back an old item, make a single new item, and split an item into two. I wish we could have gotten a “increase fire rate by 5% when you get an elimination” item but ight

I just got into paladins this month after 7 years overwatch. It a few levels to learn loadouts and items, but I do like this better than swap heroes.
When does this patch happen?

I'm really looking forward to playing this update.

Are you going to do a new video of the what items to take and when?

the power of Yagorath has return!!!!! I need to fix My computer

I hate these changes.

hope we have the same change as smite

Dang it do we gotta wait next season for a new support 🥺🥺

Too many items now, spliting Haven and Resil seems overkill. Bringing old Veteran back is actually pretty cool! But other wise, i actually like how the game is now. Too many items makes shit difficult. Also nice to know Trials are back, i hate it when i can only play for a while, i cant complete the daily quests like the "play 10 games" or "play a certain role 6 times" "do 300k damage/healing/shielding"

old veteran is back lmao

The items change are so unnecesary imo, item shop was FINE, its a total waste of time and resources

kreepers, dunno whats going on with you but you seem extremely angry throughout this entire video, of which was extremely evident with certain champ changes
something wrong dude?

Also noone said paladins would die because of nerfing VII, it was quite the opposite. Majority liked VII changes, but VII mains like me complained that the changes completely killed off the character's viability in ranked. Not that paladins was going to die. Its clear that you've got a drudge vs VII for some obscure reason.

NOW THEY CHANGE MORE MORE MORE BUT DONT BRING BACK OLD 2ND TALENT????????

Imma play it but this update looks ass

1 CRYSTAL?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 IVE BEEN PLAYING THIS GARBAGE FUCKING GAME FOR 7 YEARS LMAO

indirect strix buff

Illuminate removed because never bought great 6 stealth champions that are HARDER to fight welldone evil mojo, if you would have fixed illuminate and had it at max 50 units and not 35 more people might have bought it and all the bronze would stop crying about skye

haha still doing 2 champ skins + 2 recolours... still lazy af make 4 skins instead of recolours 90% of recolour are worse than the original skin

lol now shit i wonder how much of it will be broken and not playable

Kreepers: I'd be ok if it was 500 Crystals...
Kreepers: They should increase the price of buying levels for gold.

Shhhhh! Dont give them ideas!

I'm not feeling too good about the items change to be honest.

come on let us have 5 items. (and nerf that red item to 8% max) or (make it 3s and on kill not elimination)

Agression is back

New players don't buy resil, doesn't matter and it's a moot point to make. It's not that confusing if someone has a basic reading comprehension.

As usual they're just breaking what doesn't need to be fixed, these item changes are just dreadful to me, can't wait to see Kinessa one shotting any non-tank character in the game without her ult once more through triggering Trigger Scent, because that's very fun and balanced...

They're finally nerfing Skye's weapon damage which should have been what they should've nerfed for a long time but they're not buffing back her poison, great... Don't really care, I'll still burst people down as Skye and she'll still be very fun but holy hell they just want to kill her.

Don't have the motivation to keep going but very little to be happy for next patch, apart Caspian not being absurdly OP anymore and appreciated changes be it buffes or nerfs like Terminus's or Tyra's. The rest of the balance is terrible... :(

I'm curious if new kill to heal stacks? If every teamate gets it and everyone gets an elimination, does it add everyone's bonus?

You got the vora changes wrong its 100 over time and 200/300/600 flat

Credits item is a double edged sword, you get your items faster, but you only have 3 item slots.

The new red item should be changed to :
"Extend anti-heal duration you apply by an additional 0.5/1/1.5 seconds. Increase the time it takes for the target to enter the next out of combat state by 1/2/3 seconds."

Then it is a good offensive item, but does not feel mandatory ever.

Maybe it's just me but it feels like this is the ramifications for going onto swith so early. But it could just be me bc I haven't played seriously since vora patch 🙃. I still it's my favourite game bc of the friends and memories I have with the game. 😢. No character and 2 less skins... this is sadge. 🫂

the body and soul nerfs for kasumi feel so unnecessary. unfinished business is the only thing that makes her feel like a flank to me, because she can actually stay alive. Otherwise, body and soul is barely a movement ability and is really only useful to get into an engagement and not escape a 2 or 3v1. Characters like Zhin have what is essentially just a better version this movement, so I'm not sure why it was a problem. now to get the same 1 extra second of body and soul you have to use at least 4 of your card upgrade slots. Very confusing, I'm not sure who was complaining about her lol.

I do not like many of these changes or even the new items. They are overcomplicating things that they had corrected in prior patches like defense being simplified into 1 item, kill to heal actually being worth while, and CC reduction being straight forward. The only harsh change i agree with is reworking stealth and getting rid of illuminate

150 health shield isnt much when betty does 700 with kne auto

Also I'd like to see the resil changes kept the how they are, just move the knockbacks over to the other one. One seems underpowered and the other quite overpowered. Either adjust the credits massively to compensate or do that swap.

Yea if they split haven it needs to just be simplified as it is currently worded and it doesn't matter what the player does, if it's a weapon and it's in their hands, and it's doing damage, bombs, lian rifle with all attacks, whatever, its being reduced. Abilities include everything else.

people sleep on bloodpath, but how exactly does it work if the person that assists me has bloodpath on 3 and I have it when I kill somebody? do I get 1200 helas from that? or just my own? Also, must have item on support I guess

Wait. What? I thought Kreepers is a cat. What happened!? O_O

to the people saying it will be a bad update we never know untill it makes to to the pts so just wait a few days untill it makes it to the pts then we can see how the update effects stuff i am personally exited about this update because it looks fun with the new items there are now more playstyles (some more broken than others like trigger scent + bloodbath or guardian torvald, and being able to get nimble 3 from the get go) but that is what the pts is for to test this stuff before it goes to live servers so they can nerf it accordingly

Edit: I just watched till the end and saw that the shield does, indeed scale by 150 each tier, which imo is stupid



Hey kreepers, i want to clarify something bc i guess you didnt notice.

The item that grants a shield on eliminations + 25% cc time reduction has the shield on parenthesis like this (150) while the percentage of the cc reduction is separated like this 25% | 25% which means that every tier of this items grants an extra 25% of cc reduction, while the shield hp stays the same.

If the shield hp was portrayed like this 150 | 150 this would mean that it scales by 150 each tier, but that's not the case.

Ying's ult is now an expensive Suzu now lmao

I hate it

Most negative comment section ive ever seen

Where is the cat 😢

i left this game because it felt unbalanced, and each time it seems even more unbalanced, i quit paladins and went to overwatch 2, but that game sucks with balance too so i quit it too, i dont know what happened to hero shotters but they seem to forget how to balance things

Less gooo broo claw koga finally boosted🍁🎉

Can they pls bring back top plays 😢

I'm optimistic for these changes however I feel like they're already struggling with balance as is, and to add 4 brand new items to the store along with removing or reworking items, I feel this will be a struggle for the devs. Lets hope they take this PTS feedback seriously.

I can already picture like 5 item+champion+team setups that will be disgusting with the new items. Wanna make an immortal point tank? You'll probably be able to now.

So they just gutted caspian and took illuminate out of the game so console players have literally 0 chance against Skye. 🤦‍♂️
Will not be returning to this dead game anytime soon, overwatch 2 and jedi survivor it is then.
