i like feet

Honestly, i'm writing more from my heart here.

Paladins meant the world to me.

I'm writing from my alt account so this would be bumped, i'm formerly a pro player, achieved GM multiple seasons from beta - S3. Continued playing ranked with old legends like Saadhak and Fisheko. I poured thousands of hours into this game across four accounts, back when it stood strong—f2p, fun, and honestly full of potential—while Overwatch still had a price tag and Marvel Rivals hadn’t even entered the ring. A lot of the 5v5 shooters weren't as fleshed out as this mechanics-wise. And the card system - amazing.

It had soul. The mechanics were simple but clever, the community vibrant (even if NA was toxic as hell), and it felt like the game could go anywhere. Even after the PPL fell apart, I stuck around—because despite everything, I genuinely loved it.

But over time, the game lost what made it special. The characters got bloated with gimmicks. The devs got greedy. Player feedback was ignored again and again. And now, its being shut down.

I haven't touched the game in nearly five years, but hearing the servers are going offline still hit me hard. It's not just a game—it’s memories, friendships, and a chapter of my life.

Paladins won’t survive in today’s landscape—not with Marvel Rivals and everything else. But for those who knew it in its prime, you understand why this hurts.

To all the friends I made in this journey: I wish you well.
To the devs: thank you for what you built—and shame on you for how you let it die. I wish the best for you, and truly hope at least your next game would be more successful. I hope this is a learning experience for an even greater game in the future.

Paladins is going. And when it's gone, it’ll always be a part of me.

Nice While it lasted
I used to play this game on console, and returning to it today on PC, I see that not much has changed. Still, the creativity of the community—and the fun, quirky character designs—stand out. While this game may never match its competitors, it will always be the one and only Paladins . Rest in peace.
