Can we talk about how stupid Similar Paladins is to Overwatch

[Candy Cough]

Now don't get me wrong, I wish Hi-rez the best of luck, and I really want the game to do good for their sake, it looks kinda fun, but there is a problem. It's a near blatant ripoff of Overwatch.

Let's talk Champions. They couldn't have called it something else, Like heroes or Characters, but No, champions from League of legends.
I don't know about you, but It's very hard to see the difference between Barik and Torbjorn, exact same color scheme, same abilities. It's like sniper from Dota and Torbjorn had a baby and the bastard child became Barik
Fernado which is Reinhardt. "Hey, let's copy Reinhardt, but add a gun! No one will notice!" Again, same abilities. The shield wall for example?
Woman that holds her bow sideways (Yeah, this is a stupid argument but whatever, to hanzo.) Generic nature loving hunter.
Most stupid combination of Two things. "Guys we need Ideas!" "Lets add a monk with a gun!". Might aswell add a Crocodile with a katana
Evie is a forst witch... Elsa?
Ruckus is Gazlowe
Skye is a blatant ripoff of Kinda from Dawngate
Ghrok... An orc shaman. Where have I seen this before? Hmm...
Then we have PiP which is just Ratcher with a Sonic voice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay wise, it's incredibly similar to the Other blizzards IPS.
Create a deck. Hearthstone
Mount up to travel around the Map faster. Heroes of the storm
Nearly all gameplay elements taken from Overwatch, like move the payload, and characters being similar overall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And story wise, well it doesent have much aside from the fact that they said; "A world set a thousand years into the future, EXACTLY like overwatch.

Seriously, what are these people even thinking? Did they seriously not think that anyone would notice the blatant ripoffs that they take left and right? A frost witch, TOTALLY NEVER HEARD OF THAT ONE BEFORE.
I don't know what they're trying to acomplish with this.

Almost none of these things originated where you claim they're being stolen/ripped-off from so why is it any different this time?.

Prehaps not, fact still stands, they're still ripping off other games

[Huntaer]

It's better to steal and improve rather than develop something bad

[Nirawen]

And the fact remains that all of the games you claim they're ripping off did the same thing.

It's as dumb as people claiming someone stole Sun Wukong from League of Legends.

So if I steal your cooking ingredients and make a better dish than you, it's fine?

[Lillpapps]

Eeh yes? That's how cooking evolves rofl.

worst possible analogy ever.

The unfortunate thing is most miss out on the "improve" part.

Well that was dumb. You do know how cooking works right?

[Candy Cough]

Dont fucking tell me these two dont look like eachother

[RoninaThorstone]

This is always hilarious.
Have you looked at warhammer and early warcraft?

Besides, Hi-rez has been making these sorts of games BEFORE BLIZZARD.
IE: Tribes and Global Agenda.

Good grief. If anything, Blizzard is ripping off R5 studios and High Rez studios.

Wow a steampunk dwarf, must be a ripoff.

[Captain Douchebag]

Dont fucking tell me these two dont look like eachother

All dwarven engineer heroes/champions/whatever in any game ever, look like eachother, nothing new here.

[RoninaThorstone]

Blizzard invented elves, orcs, and dwarves. Tolkien was clearly a time traveling copy cat.

I actually can't...

[Echo of Soul]

Given how long it takes to develop a game and that these two are coming out roughly the same time it's almost impossible for Paladins and Overwatch to have stolen anything from each other unless there were corporate espionage involved. But if so, who's to say Blizzard didn't steal from Hi-Rez? Or even more likely they both got their inspiration from the same source.

[RoninaThorstone]

Blizzard clearly invented the idea of "future".
I mean, they should obviously have a copy right to it. Who would have thought that there would be time after this current moment?

[azshanna]

im sure if they use heroes u would start whining that they took it from another game called hots why dont they make a new word in english vocabulary ?
with hundreds of spells from many different heroes in different games ofc lots of them looks similar !
what kind of design do u expect for a steampack dwarf?!

[Deleted]

WoW was the first MMO

[RoninaThorstone]

Who are these "hirez" guys and why are they making video games?
Don't they know that Blizzard makes video games?
Making games is clearly copying blizzard.
