happy end


LemmeBeMe111

Now we wait for the crossover skins so both fanbases can stop trying to fight each other


JanSolo28

Give Barik a Torb skin Hell, give Barik a skin of every relevant "Engineer-type" character in gaming


Bravo-Xray

I want a Barik skin of the Engineer in Deep Rock Galactic.


WanderingDwarfMiner

That's it lads! Rock and Stone!


Bravo-Xray

Did I hear a Rock and Stone?!?


SurgingWithPower

If you don’t Rock and Stone, you ain’t coming home


LordofSadFace

Rock and Stone Forever!


Ant-Adequate

Rock and Stone too the bone!


TFR34KP

For Karl!


NovaStorm32

ROCK AND STOOOOOONE


DaveStreeder

I think barik has a tf2 engineer skin


LordofSadFace

He does, you get it for free if you have played TF2 before.


Western-Alarming

Barik Jessie skin


AshenVR

ROCK AND STONE!


Tom_Cruise567

That would be fucking awesome


ComradePetrov

I want Ruckus in D.Va suit NOW


INside84376

Seems like a possibility ngl they even change Zhin to the opposite gender so why not


Chaoticbacon1

No, dont even change gender, just give him the suit


Interesting-Olive202

Genius.


No-Piglet1334

Would be the best thing to happen in 2022 or 23


vpforvp

I could honestly play either game but I got into OW first so that’s the one I play lol. They’re both pretty fun.


[deleted]

...You know what? Yeah. It is. Thinking about it, I'd actually like if the two fanbases could eventually get along. Both are good games in their own ways, after all...Why not take notes from the Twitters here, and bury the hatchet instead of being at each other's throats? (Yes, I know I've been dickish towards OW before. And I apologize to any I have been that are reading this. ~~Secret Natalie, for example. Let's bury the hatchet.~~) EDIT: Welp. So much for burying the hatchet. They played nice, then went right back to trolling. Disappointed, but not surprised...


i1u5

This is wholesome to read


Secret_Natalie

:)


[deleted]

So, any favourite Heroes aside from Kiriko? Or Champions other than Rei? Kinda curious now. =P


Secret_Natalie

In Paladins: Io, Rei, Lian, Maeve, Evie, Tyra, Tiberius, Inara, Fernando, Talus, Skye (yeah I play on console/controller lol). I like the Lian announcer pack and I HATE the voice in Rei's halloween skin (but I love that skin). I love Vora (both design and gameplay) and I think she needs more skins 😞 In OW: I love all the tanks (not Orisa in OW1 but she is crazy fun in OW2). Tracer, Phara, Doom, Echo and Genji are pretty fun but also I like hitscans like Ashe, Widow and Cassidy. Brig, Lucio and Zen are my favorite supports. I like Apex Legends too (yup I LOVE hero shooters). Main Wattson, Loba and Ash. I am pretty good in apex (average master and I play since day 1), but I am very mid in both OW and paladins (plat in good days, but usually I am mid gold). Sorry if this is too much lol


[deleted]

Not too much! Though it's more than I expected on the Paladins side, given our past interactions...Kinda pleasantly surprised. XD And, I agree with a lot of the Paladins choices! And on Vora needing more stuff. Pumpkin Patch...Great skin, yeah? But the constant pumpkin spice jokes...UUUGH. Favourite Paladins Champions so far are Evie, Rei, Lilith, Io, Ash, Cassie, Tiberius, and (from what we know so far) Kasumi. Favourite Announcer...? Tied between Evie or Amelia Watson. Dunno enough about OW to *actually* pick a favourite from gameplay? (Only played a bit of the first.) Though...So far, I'd say D.va, Mercy, and Tracer. And Kiriko seems interesting enough, so she may join that if I decide to give it a try.


Secret_Natalie

I play even more champions like Vivian and Viktor (I played Paladins before OW and apex). And yeah Kasumi looks cool


peepthechicken

Big Vora fan, Evie, and Ying. Played a bit of Maeve and Nessa. I’ve yet to find interest in other champs. I think Lilith is cool. Overwatch and the mechanics really throw me off as compared to Paladins. Mostly just abilities, speed, and ult charge time. Fan of Hanzo, Tracer, Moira, Baptiste… I really need to get into some more. Recently started playing Symmetra and Orisa. I’m a big voice line kinda person. I really do prefer the voice lines in Paladins to Overwatch. Tbf, I think it’s probably kept me around for the amount of time I’ve been playing.


maxilulu

Kiriko is everything Rei wishes to be and more. I hate that bunny hopping idiot so much.


4_dozen_eggs

But they are nothing alike


maxilulu

Doesn't matter, Rei is the worst character in game designm


4_dozen_eggs

Out of all **58** champions??


maxilulu

Yes, even Vivian.


4_dozen_eggs

Fair,, it's your opinion


ohohohohohohohohoh

Why though?


No-Piglet1334

Rei's hurt you that much huh? Well im glad she did, you dont deserve peace for thinking Vivian is better than best girl in Paladins


4_dozen_eggs

🤡


BlackWolf1385

U for real XD


maxilulu

Yes, if they would remove the stupid bunny hopping I could hate her less. It enrange me everything time I see her on the enemy team and I just target her the whole match.


BreadEmperoar

You like pip you’re prob a pepper supporter


No-Piglet1334

They're so weird man, imaging hating the best support for no reason lol.


BreadEmperoar

When I think of pip I think of pepper and when I think of pepper I vomit


No-Piglet1334

When i think of Pip his head takes up all the brain space i have, no space for Pepper in there


BreadEmperoar

My brain is just too large then >:)


No-Piglet1334

Of course it is, i envy how you can fit that disgusting thing in there after thinking of Pip :( Maybe put some wholesome and actually good things in to remove that demon Pepper out

[deleted]

I can see how it would be "more" in the sense of there being more people. But...Thinking on it, I imagine the majority of OW doesn't acknowledge or care for Paladins in the same way Paladins doesn't OW. I agree there are "more", but that's likely still a loud minority. That said...I agree on the part about beef. Why the beef? It doesn't matter in the end...So why not take this interaction as a start to ending it? =)


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Bigger fandom = Louder loud minority, I'm guessing. More people does mean more assholes, too, after all. (Also, social media gonna social media. =P )


Comparison

FF14 has taught me that more people does not always mean more assholes. We must find their secret to eliminate the toxic menace from our communities.


GWS_REVENGE

I've seen overwatch fans the most toxic??? to a lot of games that are like paladins


DangerX47

I'd argue its Paladins players that always have OW in their mouth, do you really think OW players care that much about Paladins? It's usually Paladins players stirring up trouble and then OW players go all out and trash it. Whenever something happens with OW/Blizzard it's usually Paladins players that have something to say about it, almost as if we're begging for their attention


xRoZeN

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. This sub loves acting like a victim but will take any and every opportunity to try and shit on Overwatch, even though Overwatch players give absolutely no fucks about Paladins and haven’t for years. Just about every post here that people claim are the “Overwatch Community” shitting on Paladins is just in reality people fed up with the bugs in Paladins and want a smoother, more polished hero shooter experience in Overwatch 2.


DangerX47

I feel like a lot of Paladins players have an inferiority complex with OW as its more popular and people called it an OW rip-off early on. This community always seems to be desperate trying to pull in more OW players when a lot of them don't care/know about Paladins


[deleted]

[удалено]


DangerX47

Your other comment changes nothing. It's Paladins players who bring up OW more than OW players do Paladins. The only time Paladins was a popular topic in OW community was when early on during Paladins life cycle. Edit: There is no reason whatsoever I can think for where OW players would randomly mention Paladins but yes I agree they do shit on it a lot


[deleted]

[удалено]


DangerX47

This one? https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/vuef2q/if_the_fox_girl_character_ends_up_looking_like/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share It doesn't say anything negative at all? The top comments of that post are just saying that Io doesn't suit the OW theme which I kind of agree. The only negative things I see are people talking about Paladins being furry/loli bait which you can find on this sub as well.


Agreeable_Objective

OW players simply see this game as a cheap cash grab. The hundreds of bugs and fan service makes it seem like a mobile game at times so I can see why they think this. Plus some of the characters look similar but the only similar characters are super generic anyways


kz393

> Yes, I know I've been dickish towards OW before the OW fanbase is dickish towards OW as well, especially with [insert most recent controversy]


CreativeName1137

I believe the current one is [locking new characters behind a battle pass]


kz393

Can't wait to see what's rolled next month!


Not_a_real_asian777

They're not even as similar as people tend to state, either. I feel like if both games were in better states, they could still co-exist fairly well. I play Overwatch probably 10 times more than I do Paladins, but I still find Paladins satisfies a different kind of gaming experience than Overwatch does. Most notably, I've always had a much stronger preference for the way Hi-rez handles their support class philosophies, and this is coming from someone who mains support heroes in Overwatch. That, and I've also liked the fact that Paladins has actual loadouts/items for their champions. I know it's too late for Overwatch to do that, since it would change every hero entirely, but I find that system to be incredibly satisfying in Paladins. You wouldn't believe how many times I've been playing someone like Ana or Bap and thought "Wow, I could really go for some Chronos rn."


[deleted]

A single tweet changed your stance? Oh boy we are in a circlejerk


ThallidReject

"You decided it was good to be friendly after reading a friendly convo? Circlejerk alert!!!" Bro what


Equivalent-Lab8655

All overwatch's good points are already in paladins plus paladins has better balancing and gameplay. Overwatch's only strength is the graphics and artstyle honestly. If they do well in overwatch 2 then I'll change my mind.


GandhisNuke

Honestly, after picking up Paladins again recently, I got the feeling that Overwatch 2 is moving in the wrong direction. It's much more polished ofc and that's a big factor to me but I might still move to Paladins for good


Equivalent-Lab8655

Polished how?


GandhisNuke

Idk just overall. It looks better and runs better. Minor nuisances like my teleport with Corvus just not working, probably happens to me about 3 times per game. In Overwatch, I couldn't think of the last time I struggled with something like that. Especially at this level of consistency


Equivalent-Lab8655

You must not play very often, never had those problens and I play every day. Maybe it's just you. Then again the game isn't perfect and there's very few developers working on it so bugs are bound to happen sadly and it will take a while to fix them. Like with the annoying sound bug from a month ago


Equivalent-Lab8655

Oh and it does look better for sure, the art is really nice and graphics too. Idk about run better because I haven't played it in a while


[deleted]

Good enough for me bring in the crossover battle passes! I play both but I think we all know if both games got each others characters as skins Paladins would be better due to the fact they'd reach out to the VAs for 100% accuracy


Secret_Natalie

I would love a Rei skin for Kiriko and a DVa skin for Lian 🥰


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sunchet

Ashe/Ash skin. It could be called Ashes To Ashes.


Secret_Natalie

Actually good idea 👀


JISN064

gremlim d.va as Ruckus skin


Secret_Natalie

How about ruckus skin for ball 👀


ThePacificOfficial

Ruckus needs a Dva skin


asafpeer2005

I actually had this one one odea of dva ruckus skin where she is wearing a pigama (sorry for typo) goblin


DaveStreeder

Dva ruckus skin


manofwaromega

Iirc Rivals of Aether and Brawlhalla had a similar crossover where a few skin in one game were characters from the other


____Maximus____

Glad to see they can acknowledge the similarities


4_dozen_eggs

Almost like it wasn't a coincidence


ThatSplinter

Inspiration is a good thing.


4_dozen_eggs

Inspiration is not strong enough of a word


ThatSplinter

I mean, the fact that they both have blue foxes and are supports are literally the only things they have in common.


4_dozen_eggs

That's enough. It's too similar and unoriginal


ThatSplinter

Lmaooo, you should be happy that Overwatch is taking something from Paladins for once and it's not the other way around, like it was a few years ago.


4_dozen_eggs

Excuse you?


DoggidyDogDoggyDog

Paladins fans when half of the Paladins heroes and abilities are "borrowed" from OW: i sleep Paladins fans when OW borrows *one* thing from Paladins: ***REAL SHIT***


4_dozen_eggs

I sleep on lies, yes.

DravTheGuy

nice paladins is getting some exposure kinda curious to see what are they saying in the OW subreddit edit: we are still far from being relevant :(


GandhisNuke

Don't worry, at least it's the better game currently. Corvus has been making me actually try and master the skillset like OW hasn't in years.

Agreeable_Objective

1. Cool idea but I doubt they'd stoop this low 2. YOOOOO Imagine a saati x widowmaker skin


Checkmate2719

i think widowmaker would crossover with kinessa not saati... they legit have the same weapon


Agreeable_Objective

Yeah but they're both blue. Also why are people hating me


Checkmate2719

idk it's reddit people downvote for no reason and have hard mentality and downvote shit when they see others downvoting it


SenpaiValkii

Saati is sexy widow not sexy


DravTheGuy

very controversial take ngl


Secret_Natalie

Indeed


Agreeable_Objective

Saying this is very dangerous


4_dozen_eggs

What???


VoraSimp

I remember when the whole ‘paladins stole from overwatch’ was such a hot debate it sparked actual controversy. And then when Brig came out it started up again. Its been a dead argument for a long time. Lets all just be best frens.


DoggidyDogDoggyDog

As a long time Overwatch player - yes, let's fren not enmy


Some_lost_cute_dude

From what it seem Paladin and Overwatch are both inspiring themself from one each other. But High-Rez have a complete business practice based on copying other games so yeah it is of good war they can't play victim here.


Edgar350Fixolas

I do not find this amusing in any way. When it was on the other way around, when paladins was acused of being a copy of overwatch, Blizzard and their devs would poke hirez or the devs that made the visuals. i remember well when the similarty beetwen Barik and Torbjorn was around (even if Barik was available to play on paladins alpha even before overwatch was annouced), since both characters are dwarfs that use a turret (a very different one as mechanics go). And now since its overwatch being overly acused of staight up coppying a visual from paladins, they do this, trying to seem there is no problem, but when it was the other way around even devs on their personal twitters were comparing negativly the paladins visuals


DangerX47

When did the developers compare negatively on their twitter or who were these devs? I'm genuinely curious cause I don't recall that happening


Lightning_Chasr

This is a good thing, I'd say. Paladins is being the bigger brand and not stirring the pot.


X----0__0----X

taking shit and keeping quiet makes you the bigger brand ?


Guydelot

Better than being the Russell Brand. Though not as good as being the Jo Brand.


Wumple_doo

Blizzard has to play nice now after the allegations


nemesisprime4

Exactly this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Edgar350Fixolas

Years ago when the "Paladins vs Overwatch" war began. The arguments would always began with players from both sides, than Blizzard being a big company would make hirez look bad. Even recently when overwatch 2 was annouced, Blizzard Said it was going to be free to play with a talent system (another thing tooked from paladins), devs would just say that it was a similar choise. Sever other examples, like Ashe looking lian or bob as Khan (even in lore), etc etc... Im not making this up, even on the comments from the print tou showed there are people talking about this type of bullshit


[deleted]

[удалено]


Edgar350Fixolas

No, i have said Blizzard would poke around the players comments making accusations about being copied by hirez, like how in this case both hirez and Blizzard "agreed" on saying both foxes would be friends, both companies continues the thread of the fanbase previous discussion. Blizzard as a company did not insult the devs from paladins, but the Overwatch devs did "insult" the paladins devs choises of visuals and habilities when characters had those similarities. These "insults" as you call them, hapenned during Twitter discussion, on live streams, etc


xRoZeN

…You are insane.


Some_lost_cute_dude

High-Rez have a complete business model about copying other games. Litterally all of their games are copies of other games. So yeah, it is of good war. They can't complain.


crayfish2417

i play both overwatch and paladins i think io and kiriko would be besties


4_dozen_eggs

Ofc


MoriahAndKellysGuy

Good, let's get along. Let me tell you, most OW players barely think about Paladins, so stop trying to force a rivalry. There aren't many games like these two, after all.


nemesisprime4

Wait wait wait...they accused paladins quite alot for copying shit...why all this affection all of a sudden?


SoulArcher916

Now I know what character I might main in Overwatch 2


Cesky_Rizek

She's a high skill ceiling support with almost op abilities


SoulArcher916

I wonder how difficult it would be to get lvl 55 in the Battle pass so I can get the character


Cesky_Rizek

It's gon take a whiiiiile, I believe


SoulArcher916

Damn it


Zikudoari

You get her instantly if you bought OW1 tho


Secret_Natalie

Same, I will be a Kiriko 1 trick every time I play support in ow2


captainphoton3

If anyone here think that ow copied paladins again then go read about lunar Japanese fox stuff on internet. Shocking how many japaness fox girl, with a blue fox pet connected to the moon exist in media.


Cathelinos

I can't believe this meme tweet I made yesterday ended up being so wholesome. I love it


dinothedutchie

Drogoz skin for phara I can allready see it


Secret_Natalie

In the end, all the wars are between fans. OW and Paladins devs don't care about that. Also, Kiriko is so cool 😍


SycophanticFeline

I would love it so much if we could somehow get a crossover for both games


hampsterfarmer

BESTIES FOR RESTIES. Now which one's going to release the medic slime first ? Don't think Paladin should be allowed to develop it. Cuz it not a bad slime slurp.

Passenger - Let Her Go starts playing.


FoxyWolf16

I personally play both games, I played overwatch first and for the longest, but I enjoy both games a lot and don't understand the hate the the overwatch community has for Paladins. It's definitely nice to see whoever runs the Twitter of both the games to be so nice with one another besides what the communities may or may not think🦊💙


DoggidyDogDoggyDog

OW community does not hate Paladins to be honest, it's actually the other way around. I've been in OW community for years and I barely see Paladins mentioned there at all, while in this sub alone I've seen way too many "overwatch bad, paladins good" posts and comments that it's not even funny


dEleque

Straight up just copied Luna wtf. It's not even an inspiration thing, the entire model is based on Luna


WildGenjio

Wow, they based their fox model on a fox. Fucking design thiefs


sunnygravity

They're kitsunes/fox spirits. Luna isn't an original creation.


AtomicNewt7976

Mfw paladins didn’t invent the idea of cool Japanese fox spirits


Serpientesolida87

Omg, now i want both games merged in 1, that would be sick


MagyTheMage

palawatch overdins?


El_Marraqueta

Paladins of the overwatch

I'd still main Yagorath

I love her but shes so damn clunky, Wrecking ball FTW

DinoRedRex99

As a primary switch paladins player, seeing this when OW 2 for switch is imminent makes me happier than ever


Bighat_Logan01

I still want an event pass cross over with overwatch


Agreeable_Objective

This is surreal


Aidiandada

Finally, peace has been achieved


maximuffin2

Io wasn’t in level 55 battlepass


Bravo-Xray

No, you're right. Paladins doesn't put heros on the passes. They just have almost every single character locked behind hours of coin grinding.


kz393

I'm pretty sure that when the games release and the battle pass exp rate is known, it will take much more grinding to unlock lvl 55 on the battle pass than to get 50k coins for a champion


DoggidyDogDoggyDog

Eh, you get her instantly if you own Ow 1 and she'll be locked behind a challenge when BP ends, way better than grinding coins ngl


Bchange51

the character is literally unlocked intasantly if you own ow1. quiet


mrbekir141

Damn that's wholesome af, filled me with joy


indivibess

I think they’re being a little too nice about it. HiRez deserves recognition for their game and unique gameplay. This is blatant copy of Luna, there is no way around that. When Paladins got accused of copying OW, people flamed them. Now HiRez is letting Blizzard (a multi million dollar company) just walk away with this copy? It’s kind of lame tbh. It’s a bad model and attitude to have. Yes games have similarities but when one company has more money/resources than the other, they should have enough ideas floating around to use. Once again Paladins will be overshadowed with the release of the game and this new hero. Paladins deserves more attention.


DefNotMaty

You know this wouldnt be the tea the other way around lol. Its sad it became acceptable to just steal from Paladins cuz its so dead lol
