There so many many people giving Paladins a negative review because of OB44 when it was updated.
Just want to clear something up, people. PALADINS IS NOT PAY 2 WIN.
You do not pay Hi-rez studios 0.99$ to get an aimbot headshot on enemies and an instant victory.
It's a GRIND 2 WIN. And that's what people are complaining about now.
People don't understand the definition between a true Pay 2 win and a Grind 2 win.
Warframe is a Grind 2 win, And i enjoyed that game to death because it has a friendly community, good story that livens the spirits of players and keeps the commitment to the game despite its massive grind.

The grind in OB44 is low compared to that of Warframe or even minimum compared to most extreme grind games.
I'm used to grinding in a game so i'm almost immune to grinding in nearly any game i play.
But just because of the grind, most players take it as a reason to give up and not play a good game.

Some also think that the prices on the legendary cards and cards for new players are too high, which on that point, i can agree. It used to be 1200 gold on each card but now it has mixed prices due to rarity of each card, from common to rare.
Legendary cards are 18k Essence each which are obtained from radiant chests you buy using 2500 gold. Say, each chest gives you about 2k essence at best.In total, you would need about 22,500 gold for each Legendary card which is quite a big grind. But for new players, this is a challenge wall they wouldn't touch unless they're a grind gamer which takes the challenge on. The grind is hard but still possible, people who don't want to invest their time in the game would back up quickly but for those who are patient and can appreciate a game like this, will continue playing.

Another thing people complain about is about how this will affect competitive play or Esports Paladins games.
They say that everyone would have an unfair advantage over each other. True that they would but the game still relies on skill, that enemy team may have better legendary cards but it counts on your skill to counter that card. Every champion still gets at least 1 free legendary card per champion they use out of the 3 legendary cards they can choose from.
As for Esports games, what's to say Paladins won't give the legendary cards to the participants for free when they sign up for it, to even the odds when all participants enter the battle?

In the end, it's true that Hi-rez still needs to have a "New player" friendly system but OB44 is not a reason to stop playing. People said the same about other games when a specific update for theirs came and yet people are still playing.
I agree that Hi-rez studios should reduce the grind but i want to say it again, PALADINS IS NOT A PAY 2 WIN.
Please get your facts straight people and don't jump to misleading conclusions.
Like it or not, Hi-rez will still fix it in the end. A free to play game always has time to fix things.
