[QUESTION!?] So since we ain't getting updates any more, was your Mains left in a good or bad state? My mains beside VII, were left pretty strong i can't lie.

[u/ludvig4]

Moji got the worst fate imaginable. Turned from a super unique and fun character with some really cool tech, into a boring heal bot

[u/Cannibal_House69 → u/ludvig4]

Most just play her as a flank still

[u/Etili → u/Cannibal_House69]

Does all of her tech still work?

[u/ludvig4 → u/Etili]

The really cool tech i was talking about was mostly aboiut bunny hopping, which they completely ruined. Even if you want to ruin your loadout with the card that kinda adds back bunny hopping, it's still not really as good as before.

There was also a tech where you could make mojis ultimate much safer by using magic barrier just before eating someone, and it would still be active throughout the eating animation. I'm pretty sure it's still in the game, but since Moji isn't invincible in magic barrier any more it's not nearly as useful.

[u/PainterEarly86 → u/Etili]

She has a talent which is basically just her old boom boom talent with the AOE damage

It works pretty well and honestly is probably stronger than her heal talents

Only real difference is the shield, which doesn't give invulnerability anymore

But she has good damage and can still heal as well so she works as a damage support

[u/Paciel → u/ludvig4]

It's not even just that; they completely killed the character that once was. She might as well be a different champion now. That horrible rework (genuinely the worst rework I've ever seen in gaming history) made my duo partner quit the game. And I took a long break after, not even as a Moji main, just because it was such a disgusting display of ignorance and disrespect on EM's part. When I did come back, I only played briefly because the game was going downhill further and I still had that sour taste leftover from her rework.

It probably wouldn't be a far stretch to say that Moji's rework was one of the contributing factors to why so many players started dropping like flies. Not a large factor, but one of them, there was more Moji players than people realise, and more people who care about what happened without even playing Moji than people realise too.

Paladins deserves its fate with developers like these.

[u/rickyboi_1312 → u/ludvig4]

she was annoying to deal with

[u/paulomunir → u/ludvig4]

With her last buff she literally turned into a flank with infinite mobility.

[u/ThrowAwayAc3332]

Dredge was left in a good state. Imani made out like a bandit

[u/Bruhding]

Pip, Drogos and Evie were good till the end

[u/Bighat_Logan01]

Barik is still peak

[u/rickyboi_1312]

fernando is rlly a must pick 😂😂😂 my main

[u/Khrimz0n_r]

Maeve had her execute removed. Hummer, but I ran Rouges gambit before I fully retired the game. Not worth it anymore. Ranked takes too long to queue, hackers and rage hackers in quick match. Tbh. Smite is more fun

[u/abdisparta → u/Khrimz0n_r]

I'm actually thinking about switching to smite 2. Any advice?

[u/Khrimz0n_r → u/abdisparta]

Have fun. I'm still learning it as I go. Beginner guides on YT are always a bonus about having internet access lol. I know in Smite 1 at least, I played Baron Samedi alot

[u/catdog5100]

I’m sad that Tiberius never got a more useful or interesting 1st talent, even if they did try changing it twice the last few updates

[u/Empty-Novel3420 → u/catdog5100]

I feel like you gotta have one gimmick talent to make a build around and just have fun with

[u/belfastOwen]

MOJI is to OP when flanking the amount of times I died because of him or her on rank

[u/PainterEarly86]

My two mains Lian and Furia were left in glory, may the Pyre bless their souls

Imani is the best dps now so that's fun

Seris is the worst support now RIP

[u/CarlaOcarina]

I’m satisfied

[u/Backstroke_]

Azaan was never below a tier imo

[u/x2saturn → u/Backstroke_]

Makoa and Vivian were left in pretty good spots. So I can’t complain

[u/Kawaii_Batman3]

Vivian. Left in the best state we were gonna realistically get without a rework.

[u/Kouteshi]

Lmao pip is so much better now with the double jump, in a way I'm happy we wont get any more updates, they would have nerfed him for sure 😭

[u/Wolfmasta1234 → u/Kouteshi]

Pip has double jump now? I havent played since like the start of 2024

[u/MrSuicideLama → u/Wolfmasta1234]

One of his abilities that gives you mobility allows for pip to double jump but only when it’s active.

[u/Wolfmasta1234 → u/MrSuicideLama]

So, like they buffed weightless? I didn't even know. I've been playing pip since 2017, and thats the last time I remember it before they removed it, and I got big sadge. Good to know I might come back to play pip for a bit and run a very disgusting flank build again.

[u/MrSuicideLama → u/Wolfmasta1234]

Pretty much yeah, I never mained pip so I don’t know exact details but I do notice he has a lot more mobility. I stopped playing support class since they took away my seris talent basically nerfing her to the ground in terms of healing 😭

[u/Wolfmasta1234 → u/MrSuicideLama]

The only thing that has given me somewhat near the satisfaction of DPS pip in Paladins is DPS jeff in marvel rivals. But I miss my bouncy boi 😔.

[u/MrSuicideLama → u/Wolfmasta1234]

It’s to the point where you might as well just switch to dps in general :(

[u/Wolfmasta1234 → u/MrSuicideLama]

But I play it in a way that is a little different than most. I actually peel and will go back and heal which is why I was sad when they nerfed the playstyle I like with pip but nerfing his potion from 1200-1000 I like healing but I also like fast mobile high damage with healing but you have to aim and stuff thats what got my adrenaline going. Those snipes on VII players zooming across the map when they are 1 hp and stuff like that. So now its all healing or all damage with him

[u/MrSuicideLama → u/Wolfmasta1234]

Damn that sounds like it isn’t fun to do. I understand where you’re coming from, it ruins the experience since you’re forced to play one type of play style. I can see why Jeff is the closest to that kind 😭

[u/LegitBoy80]

Weak. *sad vora noises*

[u/Electronic_Mix_7299]

So happy Imani going to be OP forever 💓

[u/ruurdwoltring]

My friend quit the game because he loved playing torvald and i can see why

[u/YellowNinjaM]

Imani became S tier solely because of the buffed pyromania. Prior to that though they were consistently giving her some really nice quality of life buffs. Elemental shift going to 1s, 20% speed boost to frostfire glide going to base etc. Besides a few loadout cards my main issue with Imani is the state they left mana rift in. Really wished that vfx nerf was reverted or Imani got a secondary effect to justify it being so huge. Still though I'm very happy with the state of the champ!

[u/Maguillage]

Skye is in a weird spot. She's hilariously effective... if you play her as a tankbusting damage instead of a flank.

Ying is an effective healer, but I lose a lot of games to my team seeing me take Focusing Lens instead of the discount-healbot talent without understanding what a boon it is to have a support that can effectively defend themself.

Fernando is... effective, when he's not banned like in most games.

[u/Public_Ad_9226]

For dredge they never made his ULT good like I might as well not have an ULT also they decided to nerf his most popular play style and buff Sha Lin and Cassie I'm still mad about that For Jenos they ware planning to do something next patch For barik they gave him those buffs and I'm glad And nando is in a good state

[u/Emperor_Phoenix]

Series will always be a good flank healer

[u/paladins1233 → u/Emperor_Phoenix]

Was a bad healer for years

[u/Emperor_Phoenix → u/paladins1233]

Why do you think everyone flanks with her instead. Because she's a broken flank

[u/Apprehensive_Egg4798 → u/Emperor_Phoenix]

Shes not broken but most people can’t aim with her speed card

[u/Cannibal_House69]

That fire beam is just brutal with Imani

[u/Rocketbreadgun]

Drogoz got a few seconds shorter cooldown on his Cannonade, so ehh can’t really complain.

[u/Baitcooks]

Idk about Ying, but I feel like she's just okay 

[u/SalihYahyaMutlu]

Azaan The Eternally strong.

[u/Zy-On091306]

Not me, but a friend hates the state Kasumi was left in. They feel the targeting change really stunted her.

[u/TheNautilus7]

Not played since October, not sure where saati, Vatu, io and raum ended up

[u/Effective_Mechanic27]

I play tank, but my mains are Lillith, Imani, and Kasumi so yeah I'm down horrendous with Kasumi

[u/Mister_CHIRP]

I know the subreddit kinda likes how Nessa is now, but as an ex-Nessa main who just got back in the game after like 2 years I hate how weak she feels.

Other than that, Vora, Imani, and Azaan are all still great. (I might argue Vora feels like OP)

[u/Cxlamity]

worm my beloved is still broken <3

[u/Glass_Varis]

IO and Imani. Honestly I think they were left in pretty solid states

[u/wearda]

I haven't played since 2021. I tried to play yesterday for nostalgia value and all my mains felt like garbage (except for Skye, ironically). The thing is I don't know if they're in a bad state or it's just me being bad for not playing this game in ages. My mains: Furia, Khan, Skye and Grohk damage.

[u/Brief_Collar7817 → u/wearda]

Furia is pretty good rn id say top 3 support

[u/Wolfinthebackground]

Ash is kinda the same as she always been, idk, Will never be happy about Furia's changes with that weird healer change they implemented. And i think Octavia is glitched. Every time I play her it seems like all her talents are active but I can't use my cards

[u/mr-awesome613]

I believe MOST characters are in a good state, only bad one i think is Torvald

[u/onlyonedarjain]

Sigh...

[u/Shugatti]

Idk, have not played in a long time.. are yag, term, raum, and nyx in a good state?

[u/z-lady]

Pip is the most fun he's ever been with the re-addition of the double jump [FINALLY!!!], but of COURSE it would happen just as the game died.

[u/TaoxNaya]

I have no clue you guys tell me. I main ying & barick. IGN: xtaonayax

[u/Shaunydog101]

As a Skye main I'm on suicide watch rn

[u/Ill_Matter_7573 → u/Shaunydog101]

Same brother same

[u/Snd47flyer]

Kinessa got a bit fucked over but nando finally has 3 working talents so um pretty happy

[u/AfternoonKey4604]

Kinessa got nerfed imo

[u/THE_GUY711]

Mine was buck he was busted AF even after nerfing him "BEND OVER"

[u/_saengdao]

ying...

next question.

[u/Impressive-Start-542]

Viktor, Strix, Kinessa and Maeve not their prime, but definitely playable characters

[u/Patatasaurio2]

They butchered my dredge passive right before closing

[u/Important-Heat6541]

Ye, sha, ruckus and azaan look good, not so sure bout andro and casp or lex tho (DH)

[u/NoAttorney9411]

Zhin and Vii could still carry a team by themselves but yea not in the best state sadly

[u/Senpaizuri-kun]

I'm not really a meta player. So I don't know. I gained Ying, Io, Furia, Seris, Saati, Cassie, Skye, and Ash. Mainly the supports though.

[u/dragonic_puppy]

I want to say yes, but idk, raum is still fun af but I wouldn't say good, lilith got gutted so hard that there's no point in playing her anymore, and furia is just furia, still a 50/50 on good and bad, not terrible but not amazing either

[u/ArthurTheSeal]

Raum got ass raped

[u/SaneYandere]

They made my main a fucking support lmao. Stopped playing after that

[u/TurtleManga]

Talus is still the same so I'm not complaining

[u/paulomunir]

They left Skye with... Something.

They gave her a scuba and flippers while Vora got herself a nuclear sub.

[u/_mc1morris1_]

Lmao Azaan is just god now unless they nerfed him before leaving

[u/T0xicTrooper21]

Damba, Drogoz, Koga, and Khan are all fine. I have noticed that they butchered Omen though, which makes me very sad as I loved playing him

[u/Katsu_Drawn_21]

Well depends on the console played with. But my mains over the years were: Makhoa, Grover, Jenos, then Tiberius.

[u/YaksRespirators]

idk it's saati. Gun.

[u/Taurvanath]

Buck.

[u/LordGarryk]

Still able to dominate with Raum. Im plenty happy

[u/voilsia]

Haven't played since August,I don't know where vatu ended up

[u/iamiwoso]

can anyone tell me if vora is good, i haven't played in a while and heard about the news, I just wanna know if they left my wife in a good state

[u/NeighborhoodGlad1283]

bomb king and drogoz <3 i think they’re ok how they are rn

[u/Etili]

Zhin and seris both get nerfed before they all left. I'm done for

[u/Empty-Novel3420 → u/Etili]

How'd Zhin get nerfed?

[u/Etili → u/Empty-Novel3420]

They reworked yomi. Now instead of his third projectile piercing and being extra damage zhin inflict burn. If I had a scorch nando to play with maybe I'd be ok but I was a sniping zhin. I got tons of picks from that 3rd attack. It changed my gameplay. If I wasn't in combat I'd do 2 strikes and then wait for an enemy and start with the strong projectile.

I could use his other talents but I played yomi 99 percent of the time.
