Paladins: Champions of the Realm

Paladins: Champions of the Realm is a first-person shooter video game published by Hi-Rez Studios. Originally developed by Hi-Rez Studios themselves, development of the game has since been moved to Evil Mojo Games, one of the company's three new divisions.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Plenty of champions to choose from, each with different playstyles:
 * 2) The loadout system allows you to customize the playstyle of the champions and it allows you to adopt your own playstyle onto a champion that differs from your preferred style and the cards also increase stats or lengthen certain effects or adds value and utility to an abillity.
 * 3) Semi-constant updates that keep the game fresh
 * 4) Lots of unlockable high quality skins to obtain, and you can purchase all of the champions with Coins, which are earned by completing matches and finishing missions.
 * 5) Fun gameplay.
 * 6) The game takes some cues from Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch.
 * 7) Colorful graphics and unique character designs.
 * 8) You can unlock special skins for following Hi-Rez's social media accounts and if you play on Steam for five matches as Barik, you earn a special Engineer skin from Team Fortress 2 to use, complete with a voice pack that is voiced by the original voice actor for the Engineer.
 * 9) The game allows players to easily jump in, as the first few hours are spent with bots, allowing players to get used to the game.
 * 10) Funny one-liners and each character have their own lore behind them.
 * 11) The game ensures that new players don't go in joining ranked matches right away, as you must have at least 12 champions and account level 15, which prevents players who just installed the game from playing ranked matches and potentially ruining games, something Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch failed to do.
 * 12) The game is constantly updated with new features.
 * 13) Even though new champions can get released broken, they help spice up the game and meta.

Front Line

 * 1) Ash is a champion with a powerful flak cannon, and she is useful for point and crowd control.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Matchmaking is rather basic.
 * 2) The game gets repetitive quickly, like all multiplayer-only games. Although not as bad as most other games.
 * 3) It has lots of similarities to Overwatch to the point where some consider it a ripoff. Ironically, the game was in development before the former got released earlier.
 * 4) The game can get rather buggy even with new patches that fix pre-existing bugs that also introduce another.
 * 5) New champions can get released being unbalanced and can get tons of nerfs or be left broken for longer than usual.
