One of the issues I have with Paladins right now is how hollow these weapons and techniques feel in your hands. Across the board, weapons and abilities lack weight, inertia, and physicality. When I burn someone with Fernando's flamethrower, they don't ignite. Almost no projectiles bounce or ricochet. Buck's net attack, an alt-fire on his shrapnel shotgun, just vanishes when it collides with an enemy, like it's a spell rather than a web of rope. Some ultimate abilities lack a big, splashy particle effect or animation paired with them.

They’ve also revealed plans for the Assembly of Champions, an elected group of eight players who’ll collaborate with the devs from the start of next year. I’m at the Hi-Rez Expo in Atlanta, and had the chance to ask Paladins brand director Alex Cantatore about both dragons and democracy.

Besides the new Battlegrounds game mode, Paladins also announced its 35th Champion, Moji which is set to launch soon as well as a new Team Deathmatch game mode.

The first new content update of 2018 is set to launch on January 10th, 2018 on PC and January 17th, 2018 on consoles.

The new game mode is set on a huge map that's over 300x the size of a typical Siege map on Paladins and has players fighting it out with 100 others to be the last one standing. There's no doubt that this new game mode was inspired by Playerunknown's Battleground's success. You can't blame Hi-Rez for jumping on the bandwagon either. Epic Games struck gold with Fortnite's Battle Royale game after the original Fortnite never gained much traction.

Maybe the underlying problem is how incohesive the kitchen-sink cast of characters are. Buck, a self-healing shotgunner, is a armored monk who can leap far. Ruckus, a tiny goblin inside an enormous mech, inexplicably rides the same horse mount that other characters do. Bomb King, who sort of plays like Team Fortress 2's Demoman, seems more at home in Dragon Quest. There's of course a precedent for whimsical, weird heroes in League of Legends and other competitive games, but Paladins' assortment of sci-fi and fantasy doesn't feel united by a shared idea or theme.
