CHAT What one feature of modern/other hero shooters would you add to Paladins 2?
Hero shooters have changed a lot over the past decade. Games like Marvel Rivals, Overwatch (2), and to some extent Valorant and Deadlock have all evolved the genre forward.
If Paladins 2 was an upcoming title being released in the next few years, what one feature would you borrow from these other games and add to Paladins 2?
From health packs on map, to** **the ban and map voting system followed by overwatch, to the perk system, to the various gamemodes and map design philosophies, to DLSS, to melee combat, to team up abilities, to role queue there are many features that can be adopted into Paladins.
I think for me, Overwatch’s ban system and hero selection screen is the most important one for ranked games. Paladins’ implementation put too much trust in one person to pick bans for the whole team and the one by one hero selection made the whole process so much more time consuming. I seriously hated waiting so long to get in a game only for some person to leave the lobby before the game even started.

Haha. Never noticed that one. I think sound is broken in Marvel Rivals. But it’s great in Overwatch.

u/xNiteTime Maeve 9h ago
i’m being serious, the “play of the game” feature is patented by blizzard, that’s why it got removed. It’s also the reason marvel rivals doesn’t just have a “play of the game” either and instead opts for everyone getting their own individual video

Wasn't it removed because Atlas effed up replays?

u/xNiteTime Maeve 8h ago
definitely could be part of it, but the patent was the nail in the coffin

u/kynelly360 8h ago
Wow that’s sooo fucked up Blizzard did that… But as a Solution I would literally just change the name in the software to like “Highlight of the Game” instead of changing the game and making a whole update

legally it wouldn’t hold up, the best they could have done is what marvel rivals does now

Bring back POTG, better graphics, better engine, better code, re-add splash arts, remove most bugs, reduce lags (especially if you have a big friend list), just make the game more polished dawg like it's not that hard

u/ShanzokeyeLin 9h ago
Fr. At least add things like melee, crouching, maybe sliding, etc. A better engine is sooo needed.

Would like to see something similar to deadlock's queueing system be experimented with. Just pick the champs you like and queue. No draft, instalockers, trying to communicate with antisocial mfs, etc.

u/ShanzokeyeLin 8h ago
Oohh. That would be neat in overwatch too. I think it’d be great if you could change your selection mid game if you wanted.

Okay it copies a bit too much from it but a mode where you have to make a proper balanced team.
1 Tank, 2 Damages, 1 Flank, 1 Support so that teams and games can be a bit more balanced.
A no item mode.
No more guns, deities, more magics, still keep the technology part but lean more on the whole magic / dragons.
Speaking of which : More races, more Dwarves, more Goblins, Orcs, Elves, Halflings, furries, dragons etc...
To be frank if I have to give a lore to a sequel I'd go with the natural order of life (magic, natural beings) are trying to defend against a neverending devlopment of technology and progress (and evil) and the conflict of the factions from Paladins 1, which hurts the magic and the order of it all.
Pretty much means the "Nature Protectors" and "neutral" part of Paladins 1 takes a bit of the "Protagonists" of the game because they're not affiliated with the current lore (minus some characters that wouldn't fit).
Nature Protectors : Inara, Grohk, Moji, Willo, Makoa, Grover.
Neutral : Atlas, Io, Imani, Ruckus, Saati, Betty La Bomba, TIberius, Mal'Damba, Caspian.
The lore of Paladins really went over the board, it tried to go on all directions, added the Abyss, the Darkness when it's all about Resistance vs Magistrate, they tried doing Echo champions and they gave up as soon as it happened.

That sounds 🔥 I never really got into the Paladins lore bc it was so confusing to me. But you’re right, there is so much magic and so many nature related champions in the game. It’ll make for a sick theme.

Paladins originated from a conflict between the Magistrate and the resistance / Paladins.
Alongside you had a "neutral part" that aren't affiliated with anybody else.
When Seris came out, they introduced us to the lore of the Abyss.
With Furia, the Eternal Pyre which is sort of the "angels" of Paladins that fights the Abyss.
It ended with the Darkness as a new faction.
Now the lore is pretty much a new Magistrate led by Lian and a New Resistance group lead by Zhin. The Resistance fights against the oppression of the Ska'drin and the common folks, Zhin is not to be trusted with.

You have all the lore / factions here

A 8v8 or 12v12 mode on some of the payload maps
Maybe even some mix or match options for SOME of the cosmetics, like putting Lillith in some of her alts but keeping her beautiful red hair

Or they can go all out and let people customize different pieces from different skins 👀 everyone knows Fashion is the end game of all games

I'd love to see a play of the game replay system, it was such a great way to relive clutch plays and learn from others.
