I have changed my review from would not recommend to would recommend because Hi Rez did the right thing and removed the Unbound Cards, this is great that they listened to the community.

Paladins is a great game i highly recommend that you give a shot and play it.
Its more than a rip-off Overwatch, the Perks and Bound cards really give the games an extra level of depth.

Play it even just give to see what its like.

look to games like warframe for doing Monetization right and i think Hi Rez will find a good balance

First Review

What to say about paladins in early 2018...

It is one update away from being 100% pay to win.
the unbound cards has removed the skill and added the wallet in a sense, while you can get the cards for 2500 gold per chest then adds a key level the first being free then paid for the next four key levels.

Unbound the cards Hi ReZ you have done battlefront 2 to this once great game

i cannot reecommend this game in its current state.
