Quantity of bugs in this game makes me wonder why it wasn't named Bugadins. My decent amount of hours spent playing Bugadins, points to only one conclusion - I can't recommend it to anyone. Game crashes, bugged champions skills, matchmaking sucks (players from platinum/diamond can be queued in one team with silvers/unrankeds) and battle pass changed into event pass with much less content. Only positive thing about this game is that you can play it for free, but there is more and more optional content to pay for. As you can clearly see, the cons significantly outweight the pros of product from Hi-Rez. As a played I would love the studio to listen to community more and respond to their requests/reports.

Nevertheless I've had plenty joyful moments playing paladins (mostly thanks to community) and I am sure that the potential of this game is not fully utilized.

Edit after 300 more hours:
Matchmaking still makes plat players play with silvers in one lobby, which is an enormous difference, ruining the whole experience. Playing rankeds alone is a masochism and I would recommend it only to a person with suicidal thoughts. On the other hand, the game crashes less and amount of bugs was reduced. New game modes are interesting addition and surely gave some spice. There are still some loyal Paladins players, who are mostly responsible for creating pleasant atmosphere (if you manage to get them into lobby, instead of silvers :)

Overall I cannot fully endorse this game to a person without second thoughts. I will keep playing Paladins to ensure that people, who may want to get started into the game are properly warned. Although there is a lot of criticism in my review I cannot mention, that from time to time I was fond of playing Paladins with my duo mate.
