This Game is Far Better Than Predecessor
I don't understand how this game has mixed reviews and pred has positive reviews.

It is an absolute night and day difference, this game is significantly better. The UI is a very very clear example of Paragon dominating.

What an absolute travesty in user reviews, at least the player counts tell a bit of a story.

Probably due to performance.

I notice frequent "teleporting" from using abilities, to enemies pulling you back due to them hitting you with their abilities on their screen, but you not being near them on yours.

Just net code isssues.

Predecessor fan boys can play the game and review bomb it since its F2P. We can't review Predecessor without purchasing a Founders Pack so kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because Overprime got review bombed by angry children who are playing a dead game.

Numbers tell the difference.
Predecessor Peak: 4000 players.
Overprime Peak: 22000 players.

i play both and each one feels different, the combat on overprime intense, predecessor is more like the original, folks have the right to choose what is more fun

Mixed reviews cause its f2p and people leave Troll Reviews. I cant Review predecessor for being bad without spending 10 dollar.

I just dont buy it

I bought pred and was immensly dissapointed. Unreal the dude got 20 million and it plays like Fault. It's slow, boring, no counters to stuns or dashes, dynamic abilities gone. I love everything about overprime and it is seriously almost better than paragon. I personally prefer the card system in Paragon. Plus I called a dude gay and they banned me from the forum.

So whatever, it plays very different and if some like it that's great. I hope it succeeds but it is not for me.

I played OP for 20 hours but I keep playing Predecessor more

1- Yes, UI is better on OP, but once you get used to it, it doesnt really matter and doesnt affect the gameplay
2- OP has negative reviews, because we all tried it, it's a mobile game run by Mobile game cash grab company
3- Yes, playerbase is higher, but that doesnt tell anything, its f2p and the other is p2p (only EA)

If you look at charts yourself, OP keep losing players day by day
Day 1 peak 33k, day 2 peak 26k, day 3 peak 24k, day 4 peak 22k
on the other hand, Pred was peaking at max 2k when OP came out, now reaches 4.2k

Now some would call me Pred fanboy, but you have to objective when talking
Predecessor runs smoothly and thats a fact, whoever says otherwise is just lying or just didn't give Pred a try, somebody told me he was playing on a 4k res and OP was cool, yet he didnt try Pred
UI is better on OP yes, but it will be improved, it's not one primary thing to improve tho for OS, not really necessary imo, as I played League since its first days, the shop changed so much, and at the start of each one i couldnt understand ♥♥♥♥, but just playing you get used and then its whatever, you dont really look at items all the time, it goes by default over time

OP has far more content, yes again, but does it matter?
Skins, super expensive, Rankeds absolute no mm thrown at players just because they want something to grind (i can see why Pred has not many players on that since you win only exp and nothing else, but if you look at roadmap, now exp actually gives you something),
Heroes takes month to unlock, and even more for people that casually play it, on Pred you have 20 + 5 incoming already unlocked

After all this, OP is a fast paced brawler, people sarcastically compare it to COD, since every ADC build is meta even on supports, shoot n run
Pred is a classic moba, some say it doesnt have to be like all other mobas, yet all other moba are and will be the best
Its still to your preferences on which one to play
competition is good for both

So many like you, disliking a game for absolute no reason, you don't buy it but you would review it for being bad, like what

You have many many counters to cc and dashes, let's just say you like OP more for being fast paced, and yes Pred is slow, but matches on both last pretty much the same (unless one team surrenders) thats on your preference, cant say which one is better

I want to add something, people think OP is the original Paragon just because it has the name in it, and Pred is copy of it, that's one more thing that people hate it aswell

Agree , i think it is becouse Predecessor supporters just talk ♥♥♥♥ about this game in reviews becouse they are upset that Overprime has bigger player base

+ if you notice the negative reviews write people who have half hour in the game and people who have atleast 20 hours played have mostly positive reviews

Can you all stop this pointless childish braindead war tho ? Jeez.

Ionyl agree on the fact that this game got too much unjustified hate FOR THE MOMENT but who know in the futur if it would be.

All things said i think it's kinda lame and low blow to have renamed the game into "paragon" tho like fi they werent even conscious in the first place of the product they were making and now try to suck up the players :/ .

But apaert fro mthat ti's a decent game people just need to learn the basis a little bit mroe and stop the random bots in game too.
Cause you wont make me believe someone picking something than going off the the lane he choose to do literally nothing all the game along and not even respondig or communicating is an human.

OP is based on a ♥♥♥♥ verison of paragon that the devs got rid of for a reason has a bigger dev team yet is more unpolished gameplay wise, Has a tutorial while pred doesnt yet pred players seem to understand what lanes and how to play alot easier then OP.
Has a huge amount of desync and has zena the most broken character in paragon to date.
not to mention that zena is unplayable due to desync if you have LITREALLY ANY PING
But because these game has a huge asian following its some how better.

There's almost no counters to stun mechanics, barely any escape mechanics in pred. Yeah you have your little dash I guess, but other than that there's not much.

Yeah I do like OP better but not really trying to talk smack on Pred, if someone prefers that style then great. I just find the mechanics of Overprime much better, fights you can actually duel, pushing isn't instant death, character abilities are more dynamic, map - to me - has more avenues to escape or push the obj. I think the characters they chose are better.

Counters: Positioning, map awareness, warding, overall game sense. Characters who don't have as many escape possibilities in their kit have to rely more on those things. Otherwise they might be too powerful.
