I recommend playing both because then we are supporting the hero shooter genre. Personally I think the tanks are more fun to play in Paladins and I like the ability to customise the heroes so that the players can fix or compensate for game balance issues at their rank.
Overall Overwatch is the slicker game with more addictive gameplay but don’t rule Paladins out because I definitely think some of the Paladins tanks would improve Overwatch. I would rather play Atlas than Orisa and Raum would be popular if he was in the game. Granted we already have Bastion but Raum is an improvement.
OW is way more polished and has brighter future than Paladins. Also it’s there’s less grind.
Paladins has more interesting characters and ways to play each character, but overwatch is more polished and is more live.
Paladins punishes you for leaving matches HARD! You D/C you are banned form playing anything including training mode for 30minutes.
Quick play matches are much longer. You could have a match go 5minutes or 27minutes in paladins compared to quick play in OW where the longest you’ll ever go is 15minutes. Its impossible to go over that unless you get extreme overtimes. Main thing is that Paladins allows for best of 5 rather than best of 3 in some maps.
Paladins also prevents the ability to swap mid match is sort of annoying.
Also, paladins has up to 90% healing blockage and is rather common to pick up when 3/5 of the enemy team are shooting you and blocking 90% of your healing late game. Makes the support role kind of a drag.
Paladins has more fun supports as well🥰
Am I the only one that sees a lot of similarities between Inara and Orisa?
Both have a barrier (Inara’s more like Mei’s wall)
Both have a Fortify
Halt is a movement CC just like Inara’s sticky floor
And both deal damage through a spammy primary fire.
No, inara actually has skins unlike orisa
Inara + Nature Skin Orisa, then I can see it. Even then Inara reminds me more of Mei via wall.
When I look at a game the first thing I look at is graphics/visuals followed by character design (not abilities but how they look) and finally abilities and story. So overall Overwatch wins for me. Also the fact that EVERY Overwatch hero is free to use from the start, while Paladins you have to grind for the characters you want.
Or you can pay like $25 and unlock all the champs, you know like you did for overwatch
Yeah but look at what I said at the start, I firstly look at how the characters, visuals and maps look. Overwatch EASILY wins for me there.
I haven’t touched Paladins in a long time. Last time I played it was on the Nintendo Switch and that’s just because I couldn’t play Overwatch.
Paladins from what I recall felt… different, completely different from Overwatch. It seemed a lot more complex, but a lot more basic at the same time.
I personally think Overwatch is the better, more fun game, but I don’t have much experience with Paladins so I don’t have much ground to stand on with that statement.
But I suppose that you are right… If everything is broken, nothing is unbalanced.
It’s a shame that the game is riddled with bugs and the both the devs and PR people pushed away the few youtubers that were actually critical.
This and people barely complain about the supports there
The only time i saw people complaing was about IO and then only because of luna being used as a objective tank.
It’s 75% now, but it’s still AWFUL.
Cauterize is the worst thing in EXISTENCE.
The oldschool titles of the genre are still worth “studying”.
TeamFortress.
Global Agenda.
Tribes.
Firefall.
Etc. A few failed titles but good sources of inspiration for future projects.
eh still less then 100% aka Ana nade.
I mostly played it when OW was extra boring for like, half a second.
I played Kinessa (I like Widow.), she was fun. I guess.
Can’t say much about it.
I find Paladins a lot more fun. It’s better balanced and every hero can make an impact (less team dependent). But, overwatch is better polished and my friends play that so I play overwatch.
Paladins is more of a moba than a shooter, and overwatch is more of a shooter than a moba. Hit boxes are gigantic in paladins, therefore aiming doesn’t feel like much of a skill in that game. It’s also a really buggy game and I just really don’t like hi rez. They’re devs that seem like they’re just in the business for money and there’s not much artistic passion or drive. They just make games based on whatever is popular at the moment.
You can make plays in overwatch that make you feel like a God, but I never once felt that way in paladins. The physics system largely contributes to this in overwatch and it makes the game so much more exciting. The physics system also will sometimes make for really funny plays like a junk mine launching a charging rein into the air to pin valking mercy.

So… I wanted to check out Paladins just to see what they offer compared to Overwatch and why everyone keeps saying Overwatch is better…and I have to say after checking out Paladins, I am disappointed in Overwatch.
I used to just laugh at Paladins because it looked so bad, but after checking it out Im am so impressed with everything they offer for a free to play game
Overwatch is missing some basic things that Paladins can offer
We NEED to see our team (especially our healers) through the walls and at the VERY LEAST we need new chevrons.
You can see your team through the walls no matter what class you play
A loadout option for the overall hero pool and then individual hero loadout options. (and ways to sort cosmetics)
I haven’t even talked about the heroes or the hero balance yet.
There is a version on Hanzo in Paladins which has the lunge and rapid fire but it better than in Overwatch. There is even poisons, someone who uses a pet, a flamethrower, a crossbows, and even a hero that rides on a permanent mount as part of the hero… all things we’ve asked for in Overwatch.
Also, someone has a Flashbang that actually works like a Flashbang should, it blinds the player for a very short time.
Even though Paladins has healers, there are no health packs because everyone has a health regen after being out of combat for so long.
Im very surprised that Overwatch can’t offer these things 2 years in. I mean… Moira still has a victory pose bug on console where there is no liquid in her flask.
I am just mind blown with all the work that has been put into Paladins that Overwatch can’t even come close to
Orisa doesn’t even have a HUD shield timer yet…
If you are frustrated with Overwatch, I recommend checking out Paladins. You might be surprised.
Ive made posts about Overwatch and things that it could do to improved but there is never any dev feedback… nothing but silence.
If they need some ideas, they should take a look here:
What features would you like to see in Overwatch that the game should have had by now?
Paladins, less of a Budget with all the fixes.
Even Comp in Paladins is taken more seriously.
Honestly. I feel bad for saying bad things about that game without even checking it out. Im honestly mind blown with everything that game has to offer compared to a giant billion dollar company… its laughable
Agreed, I was very surprised by how much I actually liked the game. It’s fun and have several things that I wish Overwatch had. The fact that it’s free to play and only offer cosmetic items for real $$$ is a plus. Overwatch still plays smoother in my opinion, but Paladins is much more fun in it’s diversity on how each Hero/Champion plays.
Exactly. I mean, sure it is missing the polish that Overwatch has, but overall, I think every hero is MUCH more fun. The supports are 100% more fun. Im just sitting here in shock… I can’t believe how much I liked it
I also can’t believe all the missing features and bugs that Overwatch has in comparison.
I would have much rather payed for new heroes in Overwatch if it meant we got the things Paladins has
Paladins has become a great game. Ive always found overwatch to be more exciting with powerful ultimates, the fast paced nature, and higher skill cap heroes. It allows for more epic plays and outplay capabilities. But the direction overwatch is headed with the addition of Moira and Brigitte where these low skill cap heroes can outplay a 500 hour experienced genji by left clicking, just kinda ruins what made overwatch better than paladins in the first place. I’ve been playing more paladins recently and the game is actually more balanced than overwatch right now.
From my limited first try today, I agree 110%
Having more fun with more diverse heroes and it seems to be better balanced.
Ive played comp in paladins this season because i wanted the Vivian skin.
In comp each team gets to ban 2 champs before picking.
The way picking a champ in comp goes is that one team will pick 2. Then the other picks 2. And back and forth until everyone has selected a champ. One character cant be on both teams on comp which is really unique. It adds counterplay from the start of a match.
Also to add. There are 5 tiers in bronze to diamond. And you can jump tiers if your doing exceptionally well. For example when I got promoted I went from Silver 2 to Gold 4.
You can see your team mates through walls though…?
There’s a chevron over each of your team mates when there’s at least one wall between you and them…?
He means like the full body yes you can see the chevron but you can’t tell which ally that is just that there is one there
You can see your team mates through walls though…?
In literally the most unhelpful way ever
I think being able to see full silhouettes at all times would be too much visual clutter.
Something that was clearly priority 1 for OW, as your teams health bars aren’t even pasted to your screen.
That used to bother me, but now I just find the clutter annoying in other games.
So, because this post begs this question: Why are you still playing OW?
I think being able to see full silhouettes at all times would be too much visual clutter.
It’s your own personal HUD, just don’t turn it on if it’s too much clutter for you
So, because this post begs this question: Why are you still playing OW?
Honestly, because all my friends still play Overwatch but even as I type this, most of the people I play with are downloading Paladins so we will see how much longer I can hold on to Overwatch.
The only other thing about Overwatch that I like is the lore but I dont even know when we had the last comic or short and in 2 years the story hasn’t moved forward in 2 years soo…
I’ve tried Paladins a few times for a while. Overwatch is just far more appealing to me tbh.
Why? Is it because of the lore and setting? Like less fantasy kinda thing?
I played Paladins for a while, I actually liked it
I do think they got some things very right, and especially in regards to hero leveling and rewards - I also enjoyed their competitive experience a lot more because of the banning and alternating between teams for picks. It meant to play comp in Paladins you really need to know how to play multiple heroes
OW is still my favorite, though I admit they could take some notes from Paladins. I play them both
I say all of the heroes in paladins are playable unlike overwatch where only a few heroes are playable
So I actually have the paladins founders pack (check my very first post)
I will be sure to check it out! (eventually. Anniversary starts tomorrow )

Hi-Rez Studios COO Todd Harris comes to the defense of his company's game Paladins: Champions of the Realm, denying accusations that it is a clone of Overwatch.
Ever since Paladins: Champions of the Realm entered open beta on Steam on September 16th, the game has been accused of being a blatant ripoff of Blizzard's popular hero-based shooter, Overwatch . The similarities between the two games are uncanny, and have resulted in numerous videos that compare the two projects to point out all the different ways Paladins has allegedly stolen from Overwatch . Hi-Rez Studios COO Todd Harris has come to the defense of Paladins , providing evidence that may suggest the copycatting was the other way around.
According to Harris, Overwatch did not inspire Paladins at all. On the contrary, the game's development was fueled by the popularity of Team Fortress 2 . To that end, Harris also claims that the various Paladins characters that seem to be copies of Overwatch heroes actually existed in Paladins well before they were announced for Blizzard's shooter.
Furthermore, Harris states that Paladins itself grew up from a previous project from the company, a similar hero-based shooter called Global Agenda . Global Agenda released in 2010, whereas Overwatch was announced in 2014 . Apparently, the bulk of hero abilities that are said to be pulled from Overwatch actually originated in Global Agenda from Hi-Rez Studios, with only six of these abilities showing up in Overwatch first.
As far as general character designs go, Harris says that there are some Overwatch heroes that appear to be directly based on Paladins characters. One specific character he has pointed out is Ruckus, a goblin in a mech that has flight and combat abilities strikingly similar to that of Overwatch 's D.Va . If Harris is to be believed, Ruckus was developed as a character before Blizzard revealed D.Va to the gaming world at all.
Another feature from Overwatch that people have accused Paladins of stealing is its loot system . In Overwatch , players are rewarded with loot boxes at every level that contain new skins and other cosmetic items for players to customize the characters in the game. Paladins has an almost identical loot system, but as with the other similarities between Overwatch and Paladins , Harris claims that the chests in his game predate the feature being announced for Overwatch .
It's hard to say whether or not Blizzard intentionally copied Paladins or if Paladins changed direction to be more similar to Overwatch . The evidence provided by Todd Harris, which suggests that Overwatch lifted at least some ideas from Paladins , is certainly compelling. However, it's more than possible that the many similarities between the two hero shooters are just a matter of coincidence. Unless Blizzard issues a response to Hi-Rez Studios, we'll likely never know for sure.
Overwatch is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

I’m just gonna point out a fanboy answer to show you what it looks like because it’s not worth taking seriously and I can’t believe he wrote it knowing full well he didn’t even play paladins until he got called out for it and edited his answer after only playing four games where he was in a match with bots and didn’t even bother to understand the game and judged it from there on pc.
Now that we got that out of the way overwatch would be better if it stayed as overwatch 2017 but it’s unfair to say overwatch is better than paladins because at the time paladins hadn’t even hit
