So I was kinda late with making this AoC Meeting video and there was only a week between the 24th and 25th meeting instead of the normal two weeks. So you guys are going to be getting back to back AoC Meeting video uploads. Expect #25 to go up tomorrow.

RAISE RANK REQUIREMENTS

"But that is part of the power fantasy that snipers revolve around. Theyre not going to say they look at the fire rate" As much as i love our devs, sometimes it feels like were talking against a wall. Yes ofc it feels great to hit someone for a lot of DMG and vice versa, it doesnt feel good on the other side, which is exactly why the firerate should be nerfed so both sides benefit from it. Oh well, another 3 months of Strix being boring, unfun to play and frustrating to play against.

Improving Makoa's fall off is a great idea. He is so bad right now imo. He is a walking head hit box

I've made it to the #15 spot in the global leaderboard as Lian by running Precision over Death and Taxes, so I do not agree with the "it wasn't worth running it over the other cards" statement. If anything, it's pretty damn op and it allows for a very high risk-high reward flanky gameplay I used to love. I haven't played Lian as much after the talent got removed since I find her way less interesting now.

While on the topic of Imani dragon and deployables, Grover's axe's damage doesn't scale on deployables. I was hitting imani's dragon the other day and it was doing shit damage. I confirmed that it doesn't scale even on inara wall. Can you please mention this in next AoC!

buying flare and style chests with gold would be a great use for gold. I think it will make more sense since no one likes to buy a chest that gives emotes and titles for crystals.

they need to lose this fear of strix plauer rioting and do something about him more people hate than like him

and ofc no one talk about the need of grohk heal a buff :(

3:45 i dont think many people talk about strix’s damage because he is a sniper, thats totally agreeable but the firerate is crazy if the strix quickscopes, if they dont want to reduce firerate then just make strix not able to shoot while scoping in / out. this way he can only hit when fully scoped and not mid animation

Honestly everything that revolves around buffing Makoa is good for me. He is a fun character, he does need skill and he is harder to play on console (which I play on). I was a good Makoa or at least decent but I simply can't really do much with him now. I feel a bit like Torv, I help my team but I can't do much on my own, and thats just a bad feeling. I think buffing his damage dropoff or buffing his damage to 600 is good. After all the increased his hook cd, they nerfed his ult and then also kind of nerfed his shield.

0:19 Maybe you should tell them that Eu servers are quite often completely unplayable

Yay AOC vid! OK now to suggestions: as a supp main i of course instantly booted up the game and tried out corvus in the training area. I think that corvus is good in theory but hard to get value out of in a real game. Let me explain. Corvus's escape, primary fire, and mark (for the most part) feel great an well balanced. Its the heal and the ultimate that I have problems with. The cooldown of the heal is the first issue. It feels eternal without chronos 2 at min (and even then). I know that healing your marked target reduces the cooldown by one second, but without using spreading influence you're almost never gonna get that consistently because you need to use the mark to heal people that are far away, which means that you have to put the mark on them and then heal someone next to you (hence the long cd). Second is the nature of the heal itself. I know that its supposed to be a reverse burst so that the heal feels different from furia's but it feels very unimpactful this way. The initial healing doesn't really save people, it just makes your total healing higher. It also counteracts the whole philosophy of healing vs caut because you want to use your heal when caut runs out to get max value, but by the time you get your 800 burst, caut could be reapplied (or your ally could be dead which is a really bad feeling to have as a supp). They could try reversing the order that the heal applies, but im not sure if they're willing to do that. The other option is to just make him heal more. For the cooldown issue, Im not sure how to balance the feel and the fact that you get a reduced cd whithout making him be able to just spam heals. Now for the ult. It doesn't feel impactful unless you combo it with some kind of cc or wall. Supports by design have the best ultimates in the game (which in my oppinion makes them feel great to play) to compensate for the facts that they usually aren't the primary playmakers. The other option is to have a powerful basekit and a good ult like damba. Corvus imo has a good basekit (not really TOO powerful) and an ok ult at best. I think that if they are willing to mess with the ult's effect like making it heal a % for teammates too it would feel really impactful, but i know that switching his design like that is a hard sell. Well thats my thoughts on corvus, im sorry that I didnt really give concrete answers to the problems, but i really wanted to express my thoughts. Overall i think its a great champ concept that just needs some tweaking to feel good to play. EXTRA NOT REALLY RELATED: is it possible for them to make it so that we can be in the training room with people in our party?I wanna introduce my friends, but every time i wanna show them a mechanic i have to go to either bot matches or customs where I can't freely switch champions or loadouts/talents. Also thanks for all you're doing for the game Jay.

Wait so Khan's vortex grip, which requires you to be in his space, is a problem. But they feel strix's insta delete capability due to his fire rate isn't? Ok Hi Rez

I would rather see Vortex Grip talent reworked, not nerfed, because I dont want to see one more tank even less fun to play. Maybe it just should silence caught enemy instead of stunning?

I left Paladins for Valorant but I cant resist watching these videos. Feels like a break up I just cant get over.

Justice for tank mains.

They won't nerf Strix, as long as they keep making Strix skins. Only char with 3BP skins!

I would like to see the idea of certain champs having 4 talents. Maybe not all but I don't see the harm in giving people more ways to play their favorite champions

Anybody ever tell you you have a good voice? You sound like the type of guy who's chill in every situation

Well at least raums crap talent is finally being looked at

I am literally binge watching your videos like a Netflix show :)

When I saw the Raum buff in the title, I was freaking out because he's so good at lower levels of play, and even higher levels he can still be a threat. Thankfully, it's only for Subservience which I hard agree with. After being forced to run the talent for the BP last patch, I kind of fell in love with it, so it being better and more QoL will make me happy. I also give a 10/10 on the idea of Grace giving ammo, it was my favorite talent back in the day to run. I wish it was tied into alacrity as you asked so it'll be picked more. Maybe make the card generate 1 ammo per person hit so it stacks wit hit, otherwise, it's gonna be ran with precision since it's easy ammo regen.

i agree smolder needs a bit of a buff. it feels so useless now

Bring back the old event gamemodes like the parkour and the soccer games I would Instantly play them, hope you don't mind me asking but what's the problem with that?

I think it would be cool if we could get character base avatars from mastery rewards.

oh damn hey they thought the luna and dragon with fernando bug was funny too lol

Well Grohk is the worst healer in the game (again). It took years to give him a buff and make him more similar to a support. Spirit's domain was the only viabile talent if you want to go healer (it is even now, but it's kinda "meh"). You are literally forced to put two totems at once just to keep someone alive (and it's still not enough), this just makes him harder to play. It's not fun or satisfying anymore. It's just hard and it's often a suicidal pick in certain situations. The saddest thing is the last "balance" with which they believed they had fixed him. (Spirit's Domain +100 hp/s). U jokin?

Has anyone suggested reducing Strix's damage on bodyshots so that he actually has to go for headshots? (You know, like a sniper). They could even increase his headshot damage if they need to. If they want to keep the "power fantasy" of snipers while also making him less frustrating to play against, this seems like a great solution. The power fantasy would still exist--in fact, it might be more satisfying since it would require more skill--but getting 2 tapped whenever you enter Strix's LoS would be a lot less common.

Hey Jay. Idk if you remember but we used to play Paladins together back about a year or two ago.

Please make them consider to increase the cost of illuminate by 50 or 100. Skye is shit because of a LOW cost item

Imo skin trading would be cool

Why Hi-Rez is the only company that says "we can't do this because it's too much coding"? This is the laziest answer i keep hearing every time...

What about reimplementing Top play and kill cams with their new code?

i am always agree with Z1's suggestions

On thing I would like to see is Ying's old talent replacing resonance, it was fun to play with and as long as they keep the healing nerf to the talent I feel like it would be balanced and give a talent to pick over life exchange.

You can still get the automatic deserter (ranked queue) because of the pop up appearing when you unlock something from the battle pass showing multiple times. This makes you miss the join button

Good ideas fellas

Devs: *Can't put new resources into adding new things* Also devs: "HERE'S A NEW SKIN"

Yay

remember when makoa was the best frontline ? i miss those days

It would be great If Raum would have cards that synergize with His healing Playstyle cauz He doesnt have any. If you Play subservience you dont have any loadout Options that make it viable. And i also guess that they will Nerf Grover in near Future. He isnt OP but He is better than balanced and Not just a Bit better than balanced. Deep Roots has such a great value ATM and shuts down so many champs

2 corvus mark bugs that you may or may not already know about 1. Not being able to mark imani (think it's for the rest of the game after she ults?) 2. When players disconnect with a mark, they retain when they reconnect it but the mark won't count towards you're mark count (eg. Being able to mark 2 players plus the disconnect player with spreading influence)

8:05 As for Raum, buffing "subserviance" sounds like a great idea. Raum is a good tank, but his has no real contributing factor to the team other than being a meat shield. Other tanks have shields and utility's that are used for helping teammates as well as yourself. Buffing his talent would definitely make him a better tank for a team-based game. Heck, if they can buff Skye's healing potential, why not Raum? At least as a tank, he spends more time on the objective.

3:54 NICE ONE LO REZ STUDIOS

I am really happy that they do at least have thoughts on giving lian a card that works or well gives the ammo back as old precision did bc it was actually a great talent to use even back when death and taxes was a thing so i hope something like it or even the rework alacrity(however you say it) idea! Also pls tell them to take a look at eminence and fix it bc it bugs a lot dealing flat 800 instead of any extra dmg and im sure everyone that plays lian has seen that at least once bc it happens pretty often and it is really annoying

Can u suggest to make mojis puke to not deal dmg?

Pichu! (This is a small thing, but with Corvus, I want to be able to know who has been marked by him, at least when he is on my team for example, since without chat, the only way of others knowing is when he heals or if he is using dark gifts and the passive heal.)

So out of everyone z1 seems to bring the most to these aoc meetings

Furia seems fine to me. I swapped out the shield card for wrath decaying slower and it makes her similar to how she was before. I only had to sacrifice 100 extra health to put it in at lvl 3. And obviously I sacrificed the shield card

One thing about Pip ummm... I feel like he's also kind of held back by the size of his head. Playing him against snipers makes me think of an Orissa meme from Overwatch (head the size of the moon). I wonder if it could be possible to shink that headshot area or change one of his weightless cards into an "increased air control during weightless"-card so your movement ability doesn't turn you into a moon-sized clay disk?

One Question Jay. How does your UI look so clean???

Once again I would like to ask you to look into adding disconnect notification. I believe it is a high priority need in the game to have ally/ enemy disconnect notification as it is not reliable to check on disconnection based on tab-stat UI bug, and might lead to false reporting. And if pause option is available in the future, it will become a necessity.

I think dividing your kills from your assissts while in game is the ebst thing they can do to help us. I just hate having elimination and not knowing if most of them are kills or assissts , it drives me crazy. This is sme really good feedback. They can keep eliminations for healers and tanks but change it to kills only for dmg and flanks, that would be nice.

corvus can uses some buffs aswell

1:20 any reason to not simply save 10-20 of your last matches on the CLIENT? Is it impossible to hold that kind of data on client side?

The ideas I agree the most are Making walls higher to avoid Jumping Snipers, Pip no self dmg while Combats medic... One of my Own is reworking completely one of Mojis Talents and Giving her RANGE maybe with the spit and a less powerful bonus dmg to marked enemies.

I want them to buff Makoa’s hook damage, it’s 100 dmg, so if they buffed the damage to let’s say 400 like they did with Fernando would help him secure hook kills, without making his overall damage busted.

3:20 Strix is incredibly annoying and broken to fight against. But the problem is not just his damage and fire-rate, but also the fact that virtually every champion hit-box in the game is broken af. And Strix players (Kinessa players too) take advantage of this in alot of situations.

Would it be possible for Seris to get the "Io Heal Treatment"? Increase CD by 0.5s, reduce Mortal Reach duration by 0.5s, but increase her healing by 200/s. I did some calculations and it is almost the same healing for both MR and SC/Agony as it is now, but she gains 1/0.5s to do something else than channel her heal. Agony could use having 1 stack less required to stun, we could even nerf the stun duration slightly to compenstate for that. So that stun happens more often, especially at higher tiers, but is less of a "noobstomper" let's say.

I liked the Atlas buffs but I feel the decrease charge time was probably too little a change to make a large difference. 1.3 instead of 1.4 may be a bit more pronounced. I'm still feel that a small decrease in spread might do him some good. That being said I am cranking out a few more full charge shots and I realllly like the reduced cooldown for his Setback 💜

What if you added a shakey-aim to strix, like in Call of Duty? Like, the scope would move up and down for a second before focusing and getting a fully accurate shot

I know that no one will see this suggestion but I'll try anyway. I started playing TROVE, and in their loading screens they put multiple fan arts to show the players some of the best arts people make for their game. So Paladins has a giant source of fan art so why dont they put some of the art in the "PRESS ANY BUTTON TO LOGIN" menu? This would help some artists to grow more and ofc it would take less time to the team to create a new background every patch so instead they could just put the fan art.

I would really love to see a change to "Lians shield" talent for Khan, compared to his other talents its just terrible his shield HP nerf.

The 2 things i want to see is better hitboxes in frog isle, its enfuriating to ult as Dredge and the ult stick where i am. And i when will i get my Golden Khan?

Is it possible to add an internal cd on the card that resets lians presence shot? So she cant get back to back resets with eminence. Almost every other champion has internal cd on cards with similar effects.

Ok, so about 8 months ago, we asked if we could have the old voicepack system back (You know, how we could customize them between skins). We got the answer: "I dont see why it couldnt be brought back, we'll look into it" or something like that. I really want to know if this is still a possibility. Maybe i missed when they had a response, but could you maybe ask them about this? I whould really like to have it back

Can they revert the dmg number changes ? There shouldn't be that animation it should be instant

Some questions/suggestons I have for Imani: - Mana Rift is invisible while pressing tab. I am constantly threathened to be reported because of it. Can it be fixed? - Mana Rift could use Grover's indicator for its AoE range before it collapses (for imani only) - Mana Rift could use being more transparent or shorter because it obstructs your vision if you stand in front of it. - This one is more complicated. Previously you could cancel Frost Bomb's startup into any of her abilities to do that ability and Frost Bomb at the same time. It seems you cannot do that anymore this patch. There's nothing in patch notes about it. Was that considered a bug and was fixed? If so, can we bring it back and maybe nerf the root duration itself to compenstate if it was deemed too powerful? It made her Ice stance extremely fun, fluid and cohesive without making it too broken.

what about grover fatalis which procs on shields?

Does the switch representative talk about how switch users can't talk at all in lobby or post lobby text chat? It's been like that for two patches now or something.

About the replays, don't save it on the servers. Save it on the computer of the player. World of tanks has a feature that does this. It makes sharing replays a lot easier too since the replays are saved as files that can be attached to emails.

I tried playing strix yesterday(on Xbox) and I wasn’t able to use my right analog to aim, all I could do was strafe so I literally had to try and quick scope. I tested strix and Kinessa in the shooting range and both had that problem. I’m assuming this is a bug?

Hi Jay, these are good balance changes. Please push the idea of getting boosters via gold, as the battle pass feels much longer now, with lesser rewards. That push will let us free to play people grind the game more as we would seem to get more results out of the grind. Thanks.

Maybe Smolder could make Zhin invisible during Billow.

It's posibile to fix the server and the mach making in rank ?!

Seris feels very bad. Yeah i know it's a newbie-friendly champion, but her healing is just, bad. I barely can mantain a team alive and with 2 tanks they always dies. Increasing her healing would be nice

Damage blocked with Atlas and his wall would be nice for the after game stats.

Any word on giving Fernando back his 3 second fireballs?

Andro can reverse raum ult to do 3k dmg..is it intended or not?

Can we make mojis puke just like grohks weapon? I mean the dragon cant puke forever. Or at least reduce the range on that thing

one thing that i want EM to improve is make fuira's pyre strike won't be stopped by a teammate with full hp when using SOLAR BLESSING talent , it's really annoying when sometime you try to heal the tank and a teammate just run in front of you , block your heal beam then the tank dies cause didn't get heal :(

It will be great if there was a chest upgrade system, where you can give 4 chest with some gold to get a better tier chest. For example you will give 4 red chest (battle pass chest) + 10,000k gold for a "Fair and Style " chest, 4 "Fair and Style " chests + 30,000k for a golden and finaly 4 golden chest + 50,000k for a Diamond chest. In this way you can use your gold and some chest ,where you have all the items from this type. Also the chests don't lose their value in crystals because 4 of low tier cost much more than a higher tier. For example 4 Fair and Style chests cost 50 each so 4 * 50 =200 > 75 where is the cost for a golden chest.

What happened to ash being able to cancel her kinetic burst?

How about Terminus, Atlas, and Raum have shield points in post game lobby screen. They are always 0 no matter how much dmg they soak up.

How do you change your font?

when i saw buck nerf in the title i got a lil triggered since tiberius q is better than his ult, but then found out its bulk up and i was relieved. bounce house ftw

You missed Z1's about Khan, pretty sure he wants a nerf on the Grab Stunt since is too long and easy to land

Why they removed the "Best play"??????

I think they should just nerf Strix's damage to 1000. Strix was designed to fire full shots more often than Kinessa.

Is it possible that they implement a way of cancelling Non-Wanted purchased items during a match. It's so annoying the kind of items the bots purchase for you when you're DC'd out of the game because of crash and the when you come back to the match you see the bot purchased you Veteran x3.

7:54 nice heal

"expensive" you dudes make 5x of other game companies by designing maeve skins how's that even an excuse

Why the royal subjects was good? From their description, it isnt basted. Can you accplane to me?

Why the hell the Switch representative is not talking about the problem with the chat, whenever you try to send something it never shows up (While choosing your character). I thought was going to be fixed after the latest patch but I still have the problem :/

i wanna give my idea for grohk if possible, maybe give him a quality of life changing. Specifically healing totem require you to aim down and you cant really heal people from a really far away without having to guess their range, wouldnt it be nice that grokh have a mark like support nowadays that let you spawn totem directly to them. Basicly like jenos but a totem pops out to ally

Hopefully they are looking for a way to reimpliment top play. After all the goal is to improve the game, paladins will never be the same if they keep stripping it.

About replays, can't they be just saved locally atleast? Like just add a game option that every match, regardless of casual or ranked gets its data stored in some form locally. As far as my knowledge goes, it shouldn't really affect servers.

Revery the damage nerf of willo’s blasflower talent like the duration nerf was already enough :/

For the saving replays thing, why not use the demo system? It already exists, it's the way they replay games for PPC broadcasts, and it would work here. It would save the server costs because all of the replays would be hosted on the player's computer. If you search chaosgame on your computer, it'll show some folders under paladinslive, and one of those is Demos. You can put filename.DEMO files in there, type /demoplay filename in the game's System chat, and it'll replay them. It solves the issue of server cost, but it would still take the time to develop the UI and backend stuff, and I'm not sure if it would work for non PC systems, but it could be something to bring up. Kresnik would know more about it than I do if you want to explore the idea more.
