“I like playing Paladins because it’s free and not pay-to-win. But lately, matchmaking takes really long—I think the player base has gotten pretty small.”

“Dude, I wish this game didn't stop receiving updates. I played this game over Fortnite during Fortnite's prime in 2017 to about 2020. I honestly had much more fun with this game than I did on any other big popular game…”
“Even in 2026, when the game hasn't gotten an update in a year, I believe that even in 2026, Paladins is probably a better experience to feel like you're playing classic Overwatch (which granted, I've never experienced…”

“I'd rather a neutral recommendation but I'm leaning towards downvoting it. Gameplay is kind of interesting with the whole loadout system. The problem with these hero shooters is the complete lack of communication and…”
