We've been noticing a recent surge in content creators checking out Paladins, so we wanted to know from you all:
Please share some creators who have recently tried out the game, or tag one you'd like to see do so!
We want to make sure they have every resource we can provide 💚

As the CM of Paladins, it's been very funny watching us pop in this discourse 😆
Our gameplay loop is exactly this: Talents & Cards (minor buffs) to define a playstyle, plus an in-game item store!
You don't need to pick one, you should play Overwatch & also add us to mix 😉
I’d like to see what the current Overwatch PvP system would look like if we introduced the cancelled PvE talented trees to it. The idea of two tracer players locking her but playing different ‘builds’ is interesting.
It’d completely change the game but it’d be a fun experiment.

Watching replies to this (especially from CCs) is so disappointing. We have to moderate a community of nearly 2 million with the manpower of 20. We make nothing from our work, and the few times we get recognition for it: You treat us heinously. So, let's chat: 🧵⤵️
This week’s community spotlight focuses on r/ApexLegends — home to one of the largest Apex communities 🤝
With nearly two million members, this subreddit provides a place for players to get together and talk about gameplay, fan art, and more.

I know some players may be surprised by aspects of this teaser, so here's some context!
Omen is much larger than initially planned, and when we plan trailers it happens MONTHS before release. We had a limited budget and scope, so we revisited our older Lore Cinematic style. 🧵
When Jenos ascended a mountain looking for wisdom, he was embraced by cosmic gods. When Omen did the same...no one answered.
Where the cosmos are blind, the Abyss decides to give. Witness his rise.

In my opinion...
If you're 20+ and single, you should have one main focus in life:
Hit Grandmaster in Paladins.
Ahead of your career, health, social life, everything. Spend every waking moment in the Realm.
Hitting GM defines your value as a being, and you'll get egirls.

I've seen quite a few tributes tonight, so I wanted to share one too: Switch players, thank you.

I don't want to spoil what's coming, but I do feel a need to remind people that we've been focusing on a lot of non-Champion features and goals.

It's time for an expedition! After so long, my parents let me leave our den to explore the Realm.
First stop: Warder's Watch. I heard my people used to rule the world, then Warders learned our magic well enough to be equals. I hope Imani is as kind as mother says!

I've always argued that Paladins is more than a game, it's a world that players keep with them even if they take breaks/stop playing.
That being said, I think people should revisit when Year 7 kicks off later this month! I'm biased, but it's going to be a fun time to play again.
seeing the paladins fandom still alive even after everything that's happened to the game is so surprising but it makes me hjappy cuz i still love paladins despite not playing it anymore :)

I cannot emphasize how much this type of situation saddens me. If you want to know the best way you can help with my work on Paladins, it's being kind and compassionate to new players.
Instead of being upset one game may be lost, take that time to teach so they win the next one.
People really need to chill the fuck out about new players in paladins.
We on and my one teammate still got mad at a new player trying to play tank.
L behavior If you're first reaction is to go off on new players after a game.
As frustrating as it is, it's not a huge deal.

I know people are excited to see what's next, but please give us some time.
Emergence Community Patch was an experiment & broke the usual patch cycle, and we need time to breathe between things.
Feel free to blame me, my time as CM has been "Can we do this ✨️ different ✨️?"

Hey Champions!
For those experiencing crashes when attempting to play Payload, please drop me as much info as you can in the replies below (Platform, Map, when the crash occurred)
It'd be a huge help in our efforts to solve 💙

This is my statement as well. I've been working on things I hope to share very soon, wish it was on their own and not after all of this, however...I think people will appreciate our next direction.
Our relationship with the community is of upmost importance. We expect everyone on our team to approach the community with constructive empathy & in the past we haven't always done so.
We're actively working on new communication methods & programs to improve this moving forward

Rampart killing Valk with a gun named after her own ex is the most sapphic thing that could ever occur

It's an honor to be able to be the bridge between players and developer for one of my favorite games and feel so fortunate that the community I care for feels it and reciprocates so strongly.
Paladins has been and will always be defined by its community. Thank you all! 🥹
Apparently today is
#CommunityManagerAppreciationDay
and i just want to give a huge thanks to
@KryptekDev
. Your efforts and actions have changed this game for the better and I look forward to Paladins' future with you as its voice 🙏

I think it's absolutely wild how 2 hero shooters both had major updates today, focusing on sweeping balance and a new season of their Ranked systems.
Anyways, back to work on our next major update focusing on- wait a minute!

There are a lot of little things CMs do that many may not know or appreciate. For example, across HiRez we tend to handle some platform features like updating the News section on Steam.
It's the random side things that only some may notice that I really treasure handling!

Hey all! PTS Notes will be either late today or early tomorrow, to set expectations: It'll be all balance & mode based in the notes.
The cosmetics and other details will be featured in PTS & in the full Update Notes closer to release!

I've been working with the team behind the scenes to ensure 2024 can be a great year for Paladins' community.

I want to talk specifically about this change as it wasn't on Update Show.
Kasumi has had ups and downs on both sides of her Yokai Doll, and this change is designed to make her current function clearer. The team is still working on other adjustments for future updates!
@ashskullz
Quality of Life! Kasumi could always miss, but you didn't visually see that & how it punished her. Now, when she aims at a target who is no longer valid, she'll hesitate for a moment.

I've been waiting to share this for so long, I'm so excited he's finally in players' hands!
I had the pleasure of writing the VO script for Grovos & working with the lovely
@GhaspeyVO
to bring him to life!
I hope his themes of youthful whimsy and self-discovery shine through!

We're at our best when you give us feedback, trust, and time.
The team is super passionate about making sure we do what's best for both the health of the game as well as our community.
Basically, always let us cook.
Sometimes after big changes, it takes a while for the pep to get back in your steps...or in this case, hops. 🐇
Stay tuned for more info on adjustments to Moji's rework later this week!

For some, simply existing as they are comes under threat & days like today are meant to remind us how important it is we defend and support eachother.
No amount of hate will change us, and we're here to stay.

So, I'm working on remaking the Paladins Community Resource, slowly catching up to present (just finished Schism as I logged off today)
It'll be a new link with the same layout (at least at first, I may improve it), I'll share it hopefully a few days before Emergence

I know this may blow up in my face, but I wanted to say: Out of all the changes I hope to bring to the community now; be it Reddit/Discord/socials...
I want to promote positivity. Still critique us, but being a part of the community should also mean sharing the good, together
sometimes i hate how negative this community can get at times
something, anything positive happens to paladins, or someone says something positive about it, its a conspiracy theory

A more serious retweet of this: Man, it felt surreal after the most recent Paladins Chronicle to make this graphic and go: "Wow, this is canon Paladins, like...we are SO back"
With the Anniversary Update, there's never been a better time to get your friends to try out Paladins!
To celebrate, we've activated Party Up bonuses across the game! Play in a party this weekend & earn up to 3x EVERYTHING: Account, Champion, & Event Pass XP based on party size.

Wave Defense has been a passion project from several former and current team members, and I'm honored to be the designer of the launch version!

I made some cosmetic improvements to Emergence & its Community Patch's notes!
The goal was to add a bit more clarity & consistency between update notes, while also adding some QoL enhancements to make them more approachable. Let me know what you think!
