How dead is this game?

[A7pheon]

It's been around a good year or maybe two since i last touched it and i've been wondering if there were any major changes and/or reasons on why so many people say how dead this game is. Do the Devs even still properly care about this game or has it been forsaken to the point where it's just boring/unfun to play even with friends?

I suggest asking this question also on paladins reddit to get more answers.
for me game is still the best multiplayer game to play even solo but I have two complains
- balance can be weird.
- trials of the realm are sometimes absurdly hard to complete

[SPY123]

plus
- lack of events like rise of furia or end times

Game isn't dead, but it is filled with bots and afks that seem to be in every match as soon as a new battlepass comes out.

deader than my sex life thats for sure.

Okay so we are gonna ignore how its basicly in the graveyard of free 2 play games right now? The company that owns it is actualy worse than blizzard entertainment (having as much sexual harassment and discriminaton dispite being a small company) and is losing money so bad they have to put ads in the game the game itself is getting cucked by the latest halo installment wich is being sunsetted for halo 7 already instead of fixing horrific game breaking bugs (sound bug being a major one) they rather pump out borderline pay 2 win champions and skins that are smutty or anime/pedophile/furry bait. Please overwatch 2 is free everyone basicly has phones just spare yourself the trouble.

people have been saying Paladins is a dead game since OW1 in 2016.

currently its in a stale state of having an average 9-11k players on steam data for the last monts, but not yet in maintenance mode/life support.

Surprisingly Paladins steam population only dropped by around 1k when OW2 and Gundam EVO launched recently.

Ranked is dead. But casual is still very much alive.

Idk. If this is bad then it could get worse with the new poorly planned character with ''legalized'' aimbot. lol

and people think the character is weak

well from my POV it's not as dead as you think, it's still receiving updates and matches are not hard to find

[Syncourt]

Not dead at all. Ranked maybe, but casuals are always there with decent queue times even up near midnight most nights on Australian servers.

If a game lasts that long on Aussie servers (or actually has Aussie servers for that matter), it certainly isn't dead on US/EU servers that almost always have a higher gaming population.

Unless your definition of dead means 'not one of the most populated games'.

Less then minute to find a match, not dead at all.

Don't do it, I just installed it back after 2 years and it's the exact same ♥♥♥♥ every time. Just forget it exists. They will never fix it.

The major changes of the last year or so would just be the new characters they added and them making cauterise a passive ability. But pretty much its the same game if you didn't like it before you probably wont like it now.

The game does have a decent player base. The que times aren't long but the match making can be pretty hit or miss at times. My major problem with the game is the amount of afkers and leavers.
