This video is meant to show off the comparisons people make between the two games.

100,000 Views... Thanks guys.
Let me explain my opinion on this whole "Overwatch to Paladins" comparison nonsense...
I've played both Overwatch and Paladins; I have about 100 hours in Paladins, a little more in Overwatch; truth to be told is that they are two different games... two different flavors. I wouldn't say that one copied ideas from the other, nor that they "copy" any other video games that came before them. It's very easy to think of a game concept, then to point out similarities to it in other games. Over the past decades game development has been speeding up faster than before, and with development of new games comes overlapping ideas and concepts.
You can go ahead and prove to others that Global Agenda was the inspiration for Paladins abilities, or use Blizzard's previous idea of "Titan" to prove or disprove its authenticity. What it boils down to is that you should play what you enjoy, and be happy doing so. Spreading hate towards fan groups that you don't exactly agree with is no way to live.
The point of this video was to give visual aid to people who have compared certain abilities between the two games in the past. I certainly don't see the relation between some of these comparisons, but that wasn't the point. Some people are visual learners, and this was made to assist those people. I do not intend to spread hate or judgement to either one of these groups of avid video gamer players. I sincerely apologize if I did.
I hope this clears things up, thank you so much for your time!
*_PS:_*_ That broken English comment was pinned because it was funny as hell_
Fract No offence but you seem to have gone through a great amount of effort to make some of these moves appear more similar than they actually are. Androxus can dash in 360 degrees yet you compared it to Tracers blink in one direction. You also made Reinhardt charge into a wall to shorten the length so it appears closer in distance to Fernandos dash. Reinhardt shield can rotate completely around him while Nandos a shield is locked to where he's facing. I'm sorry but I don't believe you when you say this video wasn't meant to spread hate.
theomegarose, I see why you say that, and honestly it's my fault because I am a lazy editor.
To explain: Take the Fernando/Reinhardt shield comparison. I recorded Paladins footage first, then tried my best to match the length of the file when recording Overwatch. I shortened the length of Reinhardt's charge not to make the abilities appear more similar than they are, but so that I wouldn't have to do any extra cuts or editing work on the footage.
You can use this when comparing any other abilities as well. I just tried to match the lengths of each piece of footage.
I'm sorry if this came across as me trying to deceive you, or anyone else.
Fract It's all good. Thanks for clearing that up.

I love how OW "fanboys" actually keep calm, meanwhile Paladins fanboys lose their shit.
Brum ;-; Sure man, because OW fangays are busy nitpicking other games.
Brum ;-; Lmao overwatch fans are toxic as shit
Da xua Fangays? Wow what a roast. Overwatch is a high quality fps that is great. Paladins is an alright game but a complete rip off. Hi Rez needs to stick to smite which is an amazing game.
Paladins a complete rip off?But Paladins has a card system and some of the characters came before some of the characters of Overwatch(Evie,Skye and etc).Also it has many different abilities like changing people into chickens,if u hold space u can glide,a ability that makes the enemy not able to shoot 9r use abilities and etc.So it's still a *complete* rip off because it's a fps with abilities that came from different games(Dota,Tf2,Global agenda and etc).

The game ends with a noose that just says "Do it"
Paladins has a "WoW" style (magic, wizards, spells, old places, etc)
And Overwatch has that "Portal" feeling and style (technology, futuristic environments, advanced weapons, etc)
I say this because no matter how the characters and their habilities are nearly the same, the most important thing is that Paladins has his own style and artwork, Overwatch too, so both games are awesome. Thats my oppinion.

Sure paladins probably was, but before both of them ( i think?) blizzard was developing Titan (somewhere in 2013 or something? idk) , but they scrapped it and turned it into overwatch. the develpment of OW started in 2014, dont know about paladins. im not exatly sure about this, but my point is, Titan came way before paladins. Perhaps.

lmao let's be honest, if overwatch was free, paladins would get only 30% of the players they have now.
Edit: I cant stop laughing over the butthurt replies
Matt 10%
True
I have both games but I still prefer to play paladins. Actually why can't they just make a crossover, that would've been great
JessieYT Deal with the community huh? tbh The community isn't as bad as people say, I barely run into toxic people but you find those in every game so what's the difference. Why can't you just sit and play the game. You don't have to go on forums or talk in chat. Boom problem solved.
Biskuttey nope. Play styles are different not everyone cares for the free of it. Someone wants to be custom to their character and have a more strategy way of gaming. Then paladins. How so? First of all, No changing your character during combat which idk why thats a thing. Ranked ban system so it keeps ranked fresh with no clones. So honestly not really. It'd be the same. Even overwatch players are leaving
Overwatch has way better graphics, polish, lighting etc. while paladins has the ability for champions to be diverse. How I play Talus or Ying is very different to how the next player does. This is due to loudout cards, items and abilities. Personally, the beautiful look on overwatch isn’t enough to keep me on it, polish and lighting can only go so far.
Finally someone who understands 🔥
Ahh
A fellow intelectual
That is exactly what i don't like in paladins
I find paladins to unbalanced, I know that's hypocritical given overwatches history with goats n stuff but I feel like paladins doesn't try to be balanced or fair, it's alot of chaos, it seems like a less serious, less strategic and less polished, it's definitely a fun game but it's difficult to enjoy when I can just play Overwatch, also I do love how many characters you can play in Paladins just sucks that so many of the characters are copy and paste from other games
@@mintii... lmao both games have a lot of mechanics from other games especially the og TF2 so they both copy but yeah I like both games and even though they might seem similar they are very different

www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/53qusf/a_brief_history_of_paladins_as_response_to/
this sheds a little light on how people keep being misinformed, it all comes down to marketing in the end
overwatch looks better, gameplay is tigher, and has a nicely crafted universe
paladins is more tactical, has more diverse gameplay and overall even though it doesnt look as good, it offers more in terms of technicality

This war between OW and Paladins is just infuriating, like can two games just co-exist? I personally like both games and enjoyed both of them, but the fact that the fans keep comparing these game to the other can really get you down... If we apply the same logic to other games then that would mean COD is a copy of Battlefield or vice versa... We have been living in a day of age where we have the power to bring people together by just pressing buttons, and it could've been great (or atleast better than the past) if it weren't for toxic communities.. We humans have co-existed with each other before but why break down now when we're so close to a new era of change... People need to stop thinking that everything is a competition, if you like the product then like it and leave, don't try to force your opinions on other people because that would cause more problems than just comparing... Both of these fandoms started an argument based on their opinions, and no one will win because they're throwing opinions/hypotheticals rather than facts...

Overwatch was already being made a long time ago with the name Project Titan. So there is no way overwatch could have copied paladins. Also paladin didn't knew what overwatch was going to do, so how the hell did anyone of them copied each other.

*The History of Paladins:*
Global Agenda, a class based Shooter/MMO game, was started in 2005 as the studio’s first project.
The Global Agenda design was inspired by Tribes (Jetpacks, Weapons), City of Heroes (cool Abilities, instanced PvE missions), and TF2 (Classes, Instanced PvP, weapon types). The initial idea was how to make a City of Heroes type mmo/game with real shooting.
Global Agenda was released in 2010 and we learned many lessons from it. It had too many features and game modes for us to be able to maintain enough depth into each one (5 different PvP modes, AvA, Solo/Co-Op PvE, Raids, Double agent, open world missions as well as complex MMO features like crafting, auction system, AVA world map, and much more)
Global Agenda was no longer generating much revenue even after some later expansions were released (like Sandstorm) and we started looking at alternative games we could create
One group began working on a new Tribes game (which became Tribes: Ascend) while another group started working on a third-person moba game (which became Smite).
In 2012 we started another project named Aurum (AU), it was a Fantasy based Global Agenda PvP like game and the first inspiration for Paladins. You can see from the video link below how the style is cartoony fantasy.
In Paladins (code name Chaos) pre-production, we experimented with both the Global Agenda Sci-Fi theme and the Aurum Fantasy theme. After a lot of testing the project team decided to go with the Fantasy theme.
Overwatch was announced. We were shocked and not sure what direction to take. We were already so far along with Paladins, but we didn't want to compete directly against Blizzard.
We initially tried to find different ways to differentiate on game-play (different TTK, different style maps and game modes, different theme, etc), but the feedback from our tests, stats, and surveys showed that only a small part of our population was enjoying that style of game. In the end we said screw it and just made what we thought best, and closest to our original vision, even if people would think it's too close to Overwatch.
We created almost all the Paladins classes and abilities using Global Agenda and Smite as our template. We used our Aurum fantasy theme from 2012 and Smite characters as placeholders (although some like Grover the tree just stayed).
As a last point, it would be almost impossible for a studio of our size to 'clone' Overwatch in a year, but Overwatch did have some nice features that we decided to incorporate into Paladins (Kill Cam, Improved Lag comp, some verbiage like 'eliminations')
They incorporated some features, they never stole the entire fucking game.
Ah, someone did their homework.
@@rochelleidanan1405 nah, thats literally just a copy - paste from a post that the co-founder of paladins posted
After looking through the comments a bit, I have this to say.
In terms of characters, both games were made and released at roughly the same time, so most of the characters that happen to act similarly is either a coincidence or they both borrow from the same thing.
A lot of it can be contributed to popular MOBAs, such as...
(Makoa and Roadhog) The act of using a hook or anchor to pull someone towards you.
(Tracer, Androxus, Meave, and Genji) The act of dashing quickly, either toward an enemy as a means of attack, or away as a means of escape.
(Inara and Mei) Summoning a wall or other object to block an enemy path.
(Reaper, Grohk, Seris, and Mal Damba (to an extent)) Temporarily becoming intangible as a form of escape.
(Evie and Mei) Using their element to surround and protect themselves.
(Doomfist and Drogoz) Punching things with your fist.
Sometimes, they're taken from another game, like Team Fortress 2.
(Barik and Torbjorn)
Both are like The Engineer where they spawn turrets in order to do the bulk of their damage. With Barik focusing a low build time but low damage (like Engineer's mini turret), and Torbjorn focusing on High build time but high damage (like Engie's default Level 3, they even both use rockets).
(Skye and Sombra) Both are like The Spy in which they sneak around while invisible. Sombra focuses more so on sabotaging that enemy team with her hacking like Spy with his sapper, and Skye focuses more on weakening the enemy team by killing key team mates like snipers and Supports like the Spy does with his cloak and back stab.
I could keep going, but I doubt most have read this far. Overall, drawing inspiration from another company or rival company isn't a bad thing. Neither Paladins or Overwatch borrow so much from one another or other games that they should be considered rip offs.
Sonic isn't considered a rip off of Mario because they're are both 2D platformers. Mortal Kombat isn't considered a rip off of Street Fighter because they are both 2D Fighting games. Halo isn't a rip off of Call of Duty because they're both First Person Shooters.
Paladins shouldn't be considered a rip off of Overwatch...
Overwatch shouldn't be considered a rip off of Paladins...
...because they're both Team Based Shooters.
Keegan-Moore ok gg I read 7 character abilities and I liked the comment u dude are either u research a lot or u played both games u are legendary
I am impressed, finally someone that uses his brain, sadly not everyone makes this thinking. You are a person that can see what is actually happening
Keegan-Moore underrated comment right here
Finally someone who isn't a dipshit, thank you
Keegan-Moore
Thank you
I would have expected you to have compared seris' ult to Zaria's
Lancelot of the rake Zarya’s ult*. Russian names are written diffrently
“ aye bruh can I copy your hw ?”
“ yeah but don’t make it look like u copied “
“ aight bet “
Fun fact. Like over half the mechanics listed can also be found in the other Hi-Rez game SMITE, which came out long before Overwatch was born.
TF2: Big Papa
Overwatch and Paladins = 2 Fighthing Brothers
+Skai TF2 have 50 - 90k online users and paladins have idk 20?
Tekatar İnatör "they grow up so fast"
I see a TF2 fan here.Well he’s not papa anymore.He’s ded.
Well Overwatch is the talented and original son,and Paladins is the disabled homeless one.
P.S.I have like 100+hrs in all the games and I think,that TF2 is nice but dead;Paladins are crap(And the community is so toxic,and dumb(Hi-Rez talks about Global Agenda as their own project,tho u have character creation cos it’s an mmo as eso));And overwatch has good gameplay and balance+not that much toxic idiots.
@@dx_5222 kinda weird since nobody really talks in paladins.
Also,"overwatch has less toxic idiots"
I think that comment speaks for itself.
I see you being VERY biased to overwatch.
I kinda see overwatch and paladins as the shimadas. Genji= overwatch and hanzo= paladins.
Get it?
Although Paladins is free to play, it still has less bugs than Overwatch does...
Not really,i found a lot of bug (usually visual one) but some bug are not removed cause its need skill to use and not a game breaking one (popular example:rocket jump)
Uhhh you sure about that
well yes but actually no
I just got Paladins and I can’t even log in without trying 20 times over and over
Thats a big L. Hell na
Probably people prefer Paladins cuz they didn’t played Overwatch yet or they just watch some gameplay of Overwatch and thought it was boring. I played Paladins before Overwatch and I like it but still I prefer Overwatch because
• They’re many modes in the Arcade and you can make a custom game mode. I wonder why people consider Overwatch so *BORING*
• The heroes in Overwatch comes in different cultures which I find really cool.
• The graphics in Overwatch is gorgeous, Paladins is ok but still Paladins is a free game so I can’t say much about that.
• They’re so many events in Overwatch with many skins
• The lore in Overwatch is so interesting and easy to understand.
• I think Overwatch is worth the money. Paladins is a free game and it is amazing but you have to unlock some champions.
• I find Paladins confusing when I first played it but Overwatch has an easy layout for the menu it is just so easy.
• They’re features in Overwatch lately like the endorsement system and a find a group. People would find it very useful especially me.
I like both games but I prefer Overwatch. These are my opinions that’s why I prefer Overwatch.
Plz don’t hate me cuz my opinions. 😀
No, I agree with you. Overwatch has way better stuff than Paladins and TF2. But i just find TF2 more fun for me. Maybe because of the tauntkills and the endless amounts of market gardening
Flying Llama This like the first opinion that hasn’t been toxic. Good job
Mr. Swooce Thx 😀😀
Flying Llama I played overwatch for a long time and I just prefer paladins cause it has that Moba feeling and that you can make your own loadout to counter other characters that is based on how you play and on what Loadout you make
Paladin, I like Paladins but I don’t play moba games. Thanks for not taking my opinion seriously 😀😀.
Am I the only one who is glad that both games exist?
Gaming Spite there both good lol but overwatch is toxic af and im kinda enjoying paladins more.
ItsDash yea but sometimes paladins fandom can be toxic as well
Ps. I play paladins
Both are great, except overwatch suck.
Gaming Spite. Yes
I never played overwatch, and i play paladins all time, and i can tell you paladins has a lot of trollers and boosted on ranked, and ranked is toxic, but then the other modes are good and chill, without problems.
The Clone Wars
Franek Bera Hell yes
cough cough overwatch copied tf2 cough
right
xd
ok this was a nice one
Oohhh lets ignore the OTHER differences like say different skills on different characters, mechanics and overall gameplay...
Yea but he’s not comparing gameplay or skills tho
I mean, its a comparision video, everything that doesn’t appear on both game is obsiously not going to be in the video
The symetra and torvald thing... Haha! Both had a rework now
Yeah Torvald's beam now nullifies champion abilities making it more akin to sombra's hack than Symmetra's laser (sorry about the name butcher I don't play overwatch)
Profi Quack did you know sombra got a rework and now Skye is
@@cullenwendolek8799 she got visual rework only
@@cullenwendolek8799 and did you know skye was in alpha (late 2016) so blizzard actually copy paladins. what now
@@swolzer No one copied anyone. Can a developer not take inspiration without getting flamed? Both games are fine and I've had fun with.
How in the fuck do u compare sombra to seris but not skye?

HappyPokemonLitten the fire kitten, Can Seris hack? no...boom
Alpha Prix wtf is your point i cant hear u theres so many champions in that game ( *COPY* game)

I have not played both games but overwatch seems much better MY OPINION
No hate
iLaZer it is
Pasting a comprehensive list of reasons why I personally prefer Paladins to Overwatch here from another video, simply because most people on the Overwatch side of things don't know anything about Paladins except for misleading things like this video.
Paladins is better balanced in general (Health ratios, TTK, etc, although it's currently in an odd recovery spot from OB64)
Overwatch has worse balance but is prettier(when standing still), and was marketed bigger and better.
(2500 hours TF2, 1000 hours Paladins, ~300 hours Overwatch)
(Overwatch's ingame tracker is inaccurate, so it's probably more than that)
Paladins' highest HP character is 2.5x the HP of the lowest HP character.
Overwatch's highest HP character is 4x the HP of the lowest HP character. (Effectively 6x counting self heal, effectively 9x counting 50% damage reduction during said selfheal.)
Paladins healing on one of its best healers averages at 750/s single target (To compare to OW, just divide by 10)
Overwatch healing on its most similar character (Moira) is 80-110/s multi target.
Paladins, even with their weaker healing, has a built in means to opt to reduce the value of healing
Overwatch, outside of picking Ana, does not-- And Ana is not a valid excuse for not having such an option.
In the current dive state of the game, Ana simply doesn't have enough in her kit to defend herself effectively against more than a single target every 10s. Lack of Ana and overvalue of healing contribute to a massive problem of Frontline TTK being too high and "squishy" TTK being too low or even instant, because damage numbers are inflated in order to provide threat to the frontlines and the huge HP shields.
Paladins' supports have CC, utility, healing, and in general are intended to defend themselves by disabling enemies, buffing allies, or using movement abilities to flee bad situations.
Overwatch's supports overwhelmingly do not have CC outside of Ana's sleep, have a sole purpose of healing, are intended to defend themselves through damage alone, and overwhelmingly have very little utility or buffs, obvious exceptions being Discord orb, Speed, and the largely neglected Damage Boost on Mercy. The fact that the list of CC, utility, and buff abilities from Overwatch's supports is as low as 4 is quite possibly the most extreme failing of Overwatch. Don't even get me started on the fact that Symmetra is listed in the support category despite doing absolutely nothing that a support role should.
Paladins has fairly clear and concise visual design, and the movement never feels like a slough
Overwatch has horribly unoptimized visual design(Name one person who likes looking through Moira ult, or Winston's massive array of effects, or the fact that half the maps are the same shade of red as the enemy outlines, etc) as well as horribly gimped default movement to attempt (and fail) to account for the fact that its ground movement has no momentum startup (Movement in Overwatch is so quick, almost instant, that it starts before character animations can. This means that when simply mashing A+D, your character essentially moonwalks-- Their animations fully desync from their direction of motion. Awful design.)
So there you have it, if you really wanted reasons that someone would prefer Paladins over Overwatch, you can have them.
I think Overwatch has potential. I really do. But these are massive stumbling blocks for it and they ruin the ability to enjoy the game for me.
Not to mention that as a result of the movement issues as noted in the last point, fights are inconsistent, and in order to cater to lower skill players' experiences, Blizzard gave low skill requisite 1shots to a large portion of the cast, trivializing combat in order to ignore the significant problems with the feel of the gunplay.
As an aside as to why the video is misleading, comparing individual abilities cross game will *always* be a manipulative tactic. That'd be like me going to League of Legends, taking a bunch of ability footage from random characters, and pairing it to Overwatch characters. I'm sure Overwatch took inspiration from MOBA games and the like, practically certain. But I'm also certain that even though they share identical abilities, that they did not copy those games.
Rather, these things have been staple abilities and icons in ability/magic/etc centric games from the getgo.
Also on the side, people tend to forget that Paladins is not HiRez's only title-- The character designs and ability pools are largely reflected on in Smite, another title under HiRez, and one of the characters (Grover) even hails directly from Smite.
When the characters, game, and goals play entirely differently and then someone tries to sell it to you as the same thing, they're manipulating you. Do some research yourself and you might be surprised.
yes it is
iLaZer cuz it is
You see, theres this thing called a genre
You could end the war with that sentence, people don't realize that games are always gonna be a "ripoff" of each other cause they are in the same genre. Tf2, paladins and overwatch are the same genre, thats why they are so similar, even in characters, cause some abilities are just necessary for that genre. Just how it works. Paladins is the way to go for me, overwatch was good, they made it worse imo
Genre doesn't mean you make the exact game lol
@@froggo5690 half of these are basic mechanics like dashes and cloaks
@@beckettFPS not really with how they are presented tf2 was the genre pioneer whereas paladins is a paraphrased version of overwatch with almost exact presentation, you seriously can't look at the shield and hook mechanics without at least thinking that one ripped off the other
Exactly. Imagine thinking Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter are the same game because there's a guy that throws fireballs and a big wrestler guy in both
The music in the background just makes it better
The somra thing should go with skyes ability and not seris's
Who is there also,skye came out before Sombra
Blumenzwiebel HD this Video isn’t there to make paladins look bad it’s just to make a comparison
Who is there agree
Unie don't shit ur pants
Unie lol not defending paladins from the characters they did definitely copy, but you’re wrong here. Paladins releases characters far more frequently then OVW does, once a month like most others hero based games except ovw. Skye was out before sombra was even teased and it took almost a year for her to be released after her first tease. Besides neither game invented the stealth mechanic and the only other similarity between sky and sombra are a similar weapon so saying one copied the other is just being Vein. Now with the likes of Fernando, there’s no excusing that. He has the exact same move set as rein just with a different ult. Paladins did take a lot from overwatch with there early characters but as I said they are releasing characters a lot more often then overwatch and haven’t made a character anything like a over character in a long time, and some of the things in this video that paladins did have even been changed. Regardless paladins is better as the longer time to kill fits better for a team shooter the characters feel more diverse from one another, the maps make it more fair for both teams, and the developers actually make regular balance changes and content additions that keep the game going. Why do you think overwatchs fan base is just slowing falling off while paladins just keeps getting bigger, and the game isn’t even out of open beta yet.
I own both overwatch and paladins and i would recommend saving up for overwatch but paladins can be fun.
LRK007 I just bought overwatch like 2 weeks ago because a friend finally convinced me and man it's complete ass
that's your opinion and I respect dat
Daniel Perez I'm sorry you are not enjoying it, I gave it some time and found it to be a great game.
Daniel Perez ye its aids
Yeah I play overwatch on PS4 and paladins as well but it is true that overwatch did take som aspects from paladins
0:21
I didn't know Overwatch invented revolvers. Guess all the history books were wrong
Shane what the fuck are you on about
Who's saying that?
FreeStudios exactly. what is he on about
beatboxbrain I think Shane is saying that it’s not copying overwatch because revolvers are real guns. Which I mean is a valid argument, but still with all the other stuff that’s been copy pasted it’s safe to say that they added the revolver dude (forgot his name) as a mix between reaper and mccree
You just asume that the vid is saying paladins copied overwatch
It's crazy to come back and see this vid, and compare them to present day, and see how much they branched
Yeah its crazy how 98% in these comments are stupid af thinking paladins its just a copy
Ik like they both r hero shooter's but they got so much different things than the other, card system loadouts, mounts, skins that change appearance and voices, like there different
Paladins improved while Overwatch became Overwatch 2 and absolutely tanked lmao
but can Overwatch challenge Makoa???
Nope no one can challange Makao
Tekatar İnatör I feel road hog can stand a chance
xd
Roadhog can stand a chance vs Makoa? XD
Makoa The Ancient is the best
Don't get me wrong, I love BOTH games, but that Bomb King ultimate is so identical to Junkrat's
do not take me wrong but, one is a mobile bomb and the other, you're the same bomb, it's like you shoot fire and another, you're the same fire
they may look the same, but they are different
It looks like water, but it's alcohol and the other is just water.
both are transparent, both are fruidos, but in themselves they are different
Yeah, and even the poppy bomb/landmine leap. I wonder what they were thinking lol.
XelaRazalas bomb king came first
Black star Ford yea true but junkrat was perfected first (don't get me wrong I love paladins I have 12 days on it)
XelaRazalas it was most likely not identical
the last character that came out overwatch (ashe and bob) is the complete copy of lian and khan that came out 4 or 6 months earlier than in overwatch
except Lian plays absolutely nothing like Ashe and vice versa. plus Bob is closer to Argus for Hera on Smite than he is Khan on Paladins
@@JondarKorric you right
M8, there is fernando which is a copy of Reinhart, there’s the dragon that flies, that is a copy of Phara
When paladins came out i remember seeing a review saying “a poor mans overwatch”. I have now finally tried this game and its fun but yes, this is broke boy overwatch.
Try it now...the amount of immense update paladins giving is so huge... bug has also been reduced...so many different skins and so many balanced champion
TyetheRebel he has his own opinion so don't say a person is an idiot just because they have a different opinion than you
Overwatch,TF2,Paladins is a remake of Cool math game "WAKE UP PEOPLE"
I remember playing the shit out that 7 years ago lmao
Let me copy your homework.
Sure but change a bit so it's not obvious you copied it.
Nathan Dang paladins was devd earlier but released after. don hurt me i love overwatch too but just tellin
You literally did what your comment says lmfao was that intended?
Neo Rad nah ov beta 2013
Jeff from the Overwatch team paladins was first in 2009 idiot
Tbh paladins is alot better than ow
This frustrates me even though I don't play either of the games. Good video
"I love both games, please don't hurt me" is the part that actually killed me lmao
OW fans keep bashing Paladin fans, and paladin fans keep fighting back, it's like wash rinse repeat but instead, it's like a drama movie for all of the TF2 fans that are just like :/ ~meh
I play both overwatch and tf2, never really got into Paladins, but I'm planning on getting it in my schedule once I'm done binge watching anime and nonstop playing a few games that are still in my wait list. Seems pretty fun though.
(That moment when you like and reply to your own comment in hopes to get it started)
The Creative Angel I've played paladins and overwatch but never got into paladins, Tf2 looks fun tho might have to try it out sometime
The Creative Angel Ow fans: Ur game ripped of our game in every way! We have everything better!! Paladins fans: we have more characters, have a free to play game and has cool devs!
Tf2 fans: Uhm... What are we even watching at at this point...
Random Username Exactly
Woah paladins copied way more then I thought it did
Doggo Why are you whiteknighting Paladins on every comment? Chill
What I don't understand is why all this happens. Salt responded with more salt. Just because you like either Paladins or Overwatch doesn't mean that you think that it is the most original game! And if you see someone who IS like that, then DON'T respond with more of the same! Actually be decent human beings and try to get along!
Electro mite But you guys think y'alls ow is original lmaoo
Same here
What an un-educated statement
The music made this video even better.
One thing I think Paladins does better than Overwatch is their supports. After being a Mercy main for a while and being nerfed 13 times, I discoved Furia which is a support but she feels impactful. The supports in Paladins feels like you are impactful and not just a heal bot. Both are team based games but I feel like in OW the supports are too reliant on the team, while in Paladins I can do a ton of damage, keep my team up, and feel like I'm doing something which feels awesome and like a hero. Although I just recently downloading the game. Any advice for it ? :)
Furia is badass
If you play Zenyatta or Ana it is very easy to get impact. Watch JJonak or Jehong
Supports on Ow are great too, watch Moira, Nice damage and nice Healing, Zenyatas is very Power Full with his orb and Brigite is good too on short distances
At least for some cases, I can give you that. Have you tried Mal'Damba yet? He heals, but he also flings snakes at people.
Maldamba is probably the best if you know how to use him well. He can deal tons of damage and keep allies alive easily. Same goes for Grover.
I would love to see the look on everyone's face here in the comments section if they googled Global Agenda, kind of makes most of the "Paladins copied Overwatch" stuff here invalid.
Pretty much....Not suprised that most of the people that comment here about Paladins copying OW don't know shit about Global agenda. They were wearing diapers back in 2010....
although paladins was in beta before overwatch was, paladins changed it's game structure, mechanics and characters resembling a bit more like overwatch after it was released.
*a bit?*
Except it didn't. The mechanics didn't change. The rocket launcher guy was from Hirez's old game/IP tribes, which Pharah is apparently inspired by in the Wiki. None of the characters were "changed." The old game mode is coming back, it sucked back then.
Fahim Rahman thank you
Fahim Rahman but the newer characters paladins is releasing steal elements from existing overwatch characters. For example far after overwatch was released Hi Rez put out Maeve (Genji) and Torvald (Symmetra with Torbjorn's name)
So you are saying that maeve (throwing daggers and a dash) resembles genji... BECAUSE DASHES ARE RARE IN VIDEO GAMES. And except the beam there is 0 fucking simmilarities with torvald and symmetra like wtf.
And if X has to copy Z in this situation, OW definetely ripped off skye with the entire design, weapon and abilities... A purple assasin that can turn invisible and has a low damage/high firerate weapon....
And i just can't XD... Copied torbjorn's name XD. 3 first letters and it's a copy XD
“Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two games.”
*”They’re the same game.”*
that end "I love both games please don't hurt me" i love that xD
This is the toxic video internet needs
Orlogskapten PlebTheLongHair Some juicy as video that Will make people more salty about it
Hell yeah fantastic
Orlogskapten PlebTheLongHair but it isn't toxic xD
Orlogskapten PlebTheLongHair i like your picture
Orlogskapten PlebTheLongHair Oh yes I'm beyond certain they'll love it.
Pfffft only noobs play these games *plays minesweeper on 1990's computer*

Mr Habanero you copied someone’s comment and changed it a little
Its ya boi Andrew Jackson i saw that too
I like copying people to sometimes.
JOtaro??
Trevion Oles but isn't paladins free?
Paladins CEO said they took inspiration from tf2 and a game his studio HiRez created 10 years ago.
I don't know if this counts for anything in the debate but I found a file named Evie_Tomb in paladins game files and it's the ice block from OW.
Love both games too, but just a make sure, Lex and Reaper both have dual wielding guns, but Lex has long range, reaper needs short range shotguns
nope reaper have long range too but he dont deal that much deamage
true
Yeah this was the only comparison that didnt make sense to me. Dual wielding accurate pistols vs heavy spread shotguns arent exactly related
BUT! the animation is the same, so it must be a rip-off
it isnt the same, the animation play style is similar, and that could go for many games as well,BUT, the overall character and setting style is far different, Overwatch has a futuristic earth kind of style, but Paladins gives a fantasy style, also the move sets seem similar but paladins has art for every ability
Neither of these games have original concepts.
-engineers with shotguns
-hooks to grab enemies
-healing totems
They have all been done before.
Thank you for making this point
Wow three points. You do realize the OW is way more different than paladins
@@justfriccoff3363 exactly, so why compare dick sizes between the two? Let them co-exist. They're both good games, especially considering one is free, but they are different 'flavors' of games, for lack of a better term.
larz anthony Not really, the have their things, but not in they way that usually are done, that is copying directly.
What is new in this "Hero FPS" genre is that they mixed the weapons style from games like Unreal and Quake and mixed them with a class role CHARACTER based system with unique skills for every character.
Hooks to grah enemies?... Eeee no. LIGUE OF LEGENDS OS FIRST
Just to make it clear, the dash that the dva has originated in the paladins, but after upgrades they have changed
whare is kinessa's and widow's mines?
I like both games so I am just going to watch the incoming fight *gets the popcorn*
Now in 2018:
*Paladins looks at the melee mechanic and uses it for Androxus*
Overwatch: "Bro, stop copying my shit"
*peeks at Sha Lin and uses his ability for Hanzo*
Paladins: "I can't even call it ironic"
Actually, completely outside of Overwatch, people had been asking for a kind of quick melee for a long time (I'm sorry, but Overwatch didn't invent that. Not even close.)
Paladins devs decided against it as a whole, since it would break TTK balance for a lot of characters pretty hard, but it fit with Andro's playstyle, role, and was a better feeling replacement for what was largely considered a useless ability.
I get that you're joking, but a lot of the Overwatch side of things tend to not be able to differentiate between something that's a joke and something that's serious, so context is always helpful.
I was aware at the time of everything you just said and yet I've still made this joke.
Fair enough
*peeks at world of warcraft ability that did that before paladins*
Janfon01 so true
i love that the only comments im seeing are about how crazy the comments are , this one is kinda the same, its a comment about a comment's comment
Ok ok a lot were valid comparisons, but there were also a lot where it was stretching it to call it anything alike
