Can we please chill with asking to nerf every loadout card that is valuable? Soon enough there won’t be many cards that feel impactful. We need to start asking for more buffs to weak cards on other characters instead. The loadout system is being watered down through constant nerfs over the years.

That deadzone color change would be so helpful, as a support main it sucks to waste your cd on a deadzoned tank bc you can’t tell if you’re cauted or deadzoned 😔

The one trick title is a good idea

Basically, the devs don't want to do most of anything suggested on balance, and nothing that would require any work that they did not already plan.

As for the level 40 mastery Avatar I think the Chibi Sprays as Avatar would be great

Seris would become oppressive if she gets any offensive buffs. She's already hard to deal with when using soul collector. It makes her really tanky while her q gives tons of sustain.

They should really fix the clipping and getting stuck in rocks in maps like Frog Isle

One thing I would like to see for Mastery rewards: the Shatter weapons (Shattermaw and Shatterstar for Andro and Jenos). It would give the devs an excuse to bring them back, and adding them to other Champions as a Mastery level 100 reward.

9:10 that’s a sign that resilience was over-nerfed. How about buffing resilience to 25% per level to a max of 75% instead. Current resilience doesn’t feel all that great and that’s why people are asking fir nerfs to CC’s like khan’s 2s stun and Bomb King’s jolt. It was over-nerfed.

They say they can't stop IO's ult from clipping but at the same time Lian's ult clips on practically nothing, even hits people through walls the hitbox is so huge

Please tell them to remove the 6s cooldown from the card that increase movement speed when you use fireball nando is very weak right now and barely picked even in casual. Or remove it and make fire ball cooldown and the card that reduce its cooldown as it was before (fireball every 3sec) nando can only do poke damage with his fireball and its hard to do now cause on that long ass cooldown

Bomb King nerfs? Im in

What Grohk needs is... Totem Cooldown reduced to 6 from 10 seconds. Spirit's Domain increased to 750 healing per second minimum. Totemic Ward is directly affected the most by totem cooldown buff, so no changes. Maelstrom gains a negative increased cooldown to healing totems so that damage Grohk is not insane, at least adds +3 seconds if felt damage Grohk was slightly on the weak side, +4 seconds (so stays at 10 seconds) if felt balanced and in a good spot.

Paladins AOC in a nutshell: Reps: Could we do this thing? Devs: Well that sounds great but, maybe later.

5:56 *_"Was That Herbal?"_* _Intensifies_

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

I think they should consider reworking Dredge's Q, it's literally the exact same as Tib's right click but worse in every way

WE WANT THE OLD VGS ON CONSOLE FFS

Lex base weapons is too inaccurate without death hastens making retribution bad, they should fix lex inaccuracy but lower his damage

level 100 rewards... does this mean jayflare will not stop till he has every champ in the game at 100? including his favorite, torvald. :)

Bomb King's reload card to be reworked or removed seems completely fine, but please for the love of God, don't nerf or over-nerf his knockback. It's literally the most fun kit on BK to play. He is like Zone King with that card. He is harder champion to master and I would love him to stay as he is. I've heard literally no one in my 4 years of playing, that BK needs a knockback nerf. I still think nerfing Viktor's sustain card while being in Iron Sight is going to break the balance. He is damage role after all, let damagers being able to defend against a flanker, like cmon. Gurk Ideas: -Increase healing per totem -Give some % of CC on each totem -Make totems being able to be stuck on any surface (Under the roof, on the walls, choke points walls, trees etc etc) OR - Make totems not being able to get destroyed by enemy team (Like Atlas shield, but this would probably be a bit too much) Seris Ideas: -Stunseris is the most fun, good self reliable depending talent for you, if you play Casual most of your time. Where random team mates rarely backs you up but expect from you things, that are impossible to do. I'd love that talent to stay but if you decide to make it into her base kit, maybe it would be like, the more you stack orbs on enemy, the longer stun duration gets. Example: If you stack 4 orbs = you make 1,5 second stun (or Agony's original duration), 6 orbs = 2 seconds, 8 orbs = 2,5 seconds, 10/12 orbs = 3 seconds, 12 orbs = 3,5 sec max. Or something in a similar way, this is just an example. Zhin Idea: -The healing talent could be idea for his card and this slot could be used to be another, new talent be implemented for him. Khan's Vortex Grip is completely fine... How can be this too much for a tank, while flanks & dpses are so strong at the moment? I just don't get this. I respect this AoC that's trying to do best for the game and bring us news, but does Team Dev want everyone who mained support or tank role to switch into dps? Cause I've noticed a lot of people switched and recently, I did too, because it's not rewarding nor fun to play one of these two anymore when the other role ends up getting spawn afk or enemy feeder. Even in Pro League I see tanks aren't even played (not all matches, but tank role started drifting away). I've been playing this game since OB and these changes in the last 4 months are literally perfect for flank invasion. I really don't get it, from the moment where a certain support or a tank does a bit too good, example Jenos, who's all about the positioning, he gets nerfed the most important card by more than a half, Team decides to instantly nerf those. Please, this game always used to be a role advantage & luck based(toxic,feeders, intentional feeders) > skill based, but nowadays, it's even more:(. Also can 'Mute' option be implemented into the champion selection lobby? Cause some people are already toxic there and from there, people just want to get done with a match to avoid that player as fast as possible. It's frustrating to hear everyone complaining about others not picking tanks or supports, yet they never flex. People just want to play what they want. I'd be happy even if I could have an option to remove chat completely, from the champion's draft screen and until I leave the result match at the end (Only Casual mode based) Again, I appreciate your videos and all that you do for Paladins and players, Jay. But balance is not even being near. Since tank changes, the game's balance went completely off. No one even plays carefully or sneaky. No one is afraid of going into the back line or towards the objective.

Please ask for mark appearing on my screen when corvus mark me

Can someone please talk about making Veteran useful???

Hi-Rez, I take it back. If what I heard about Seris will happen then I'll marry your whole studio Ah, getting 3 useful talents for one champion is amazing...

Man, the more time passes, the more sense it becomes what some old AoC members have said. Aside from the little balance stuff, AoC is useless, and Paladins won't ever come to its true potential.

As a skye main, I feel sad about there response to the champion. Smoke screen and hidden are same abilities that makes you stealth but yet the other one has limited area and only heals. I just wish they'll rework her a little bit.

They should change Lex's and Andro's base weapons to the originals, they can have the new guns as talents if they desperately want to keep them. But the OG weapons feel better to use, require more skill to get value from and feel better to play against as they have to be consistently hitting shots to win a duel, instead of hitting 50% of their shots and still doing a lot of damage because they shot 20 times in 3 seconds

Lol of course Z1 doesn't mention Andro's power of the abyss card in the list of cards that proc off shields/deployables. 100% mobility cooldown reset from hitting a shield is broken. That should be the FIRST card looked at.

All these buffs and nerds sound so good!

What they said about console players not welcoming anything for Talus other than a nerf makes no sense if they have the audacity to say the game is in a good point in balance because Viktor is doing so good. We have Vik, Viv, Talus and Skye picks literally control matches since season 1. If they don't plan on balancing Viktor they might as well work on Talus since it won't change anything. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey Jay really appreciate you doing these AoC videos, i would like to inform you of the issue of Ash's right click toggle is not working as intended and that the change did not go through with this patch. thanks for your time if you read this and have a nice day.

As much as I'm not a Seris fan, I do like the idea for the new Mortal Reach, if you guys didn't know, Io currently out heals Seris since she got her buff this patch (Seris 933/s on a cooldown, Io 1000/sec on a meter that's easy to restore). That combined with Goddess' Blessing kind of makes Seris obsolete. The only thing Seris has going for her is the massive reach with MR, and the AoE on her heal. Really the only thing she has over Io that makes her worth running over is her Soul Collector set. Also, Grohk heal buffs are always appreciated.

Wow look at that, the devs pretending they care about the Switch version? I'm surprised they even uttered the word "Switch"!

Man please talk about resonance buff for ying please, next time.

Man I’m glad you used SlugShot Ash in that one ash match lol

At the end of your videos as i hear dreams start playing i get so happy💀, nice videos btw😌

I just heard “f u console players” with what they said about Viktor. Now I’m sad.

I know it is pointless to bring back Seris’s old design but I feel like they should buff her damage slightly and or give her a small amount of healing over time. Originally they made Seris’s weapon would be like a light but helpful area denial tool that would do above average damage since she gives up heal bottling to use it. After a few years of buffing and adding supports that have way better damage kind of made Seris’s weapon look useless. It worked back then since she was competing with supports who dealt consistent tickle damage or super short ranged hard to use burst, so just having a character that has simple spam weapon and heal botted was good back then. If they buff her weapon then they should bump up the soul orbs damage from 210 to 220 and rends souls damage from 100 to 110. It doesn’t seem big but it takes 1 less shot kill most champions overall and doesn’t make soul collector more oppressive since it only changes ttk vs tanks. For the heal overtime Seris should have it at base and buff it with mortal reach. It should give 200 health a second for 3s for anyone that got healed from restore soul after it ends (targeted or not) and with mortal reach healing gets changed to 300 health for 2s . It wouldn’t help too much in large scrappy fights but would help in topping people off and increase her heal up time so she can do other things like escaping or lending her damage on point. It would also help with agony since she will have time to stack people while not letting her teammates starve for healing.

YES YES.. YES!!!!!!!!

@Jayflare About the replays, they mentioned it will eat up their servers further if they implemented it. But why can't they implement a replay system similar to World of Tanks where the game automatically creates replay files on the computer of the user? They even have a feature where you can choose wether to save all replays, or just keep the latest replay. This type of implementation doesn't eat up the server, while also making replay sharing as simple as sharing a file. And since it's a file, replays will now be able to sent to emails or uploaded on various file sharing websites.

a few thoughts: Where did we end up on voicepack customization? Can we get CC Immunity for Crossfire, Barrage, Buck Wild, The Law and Headhunter? Most Ults have it already why not those? BP Challenges: Can we remove anything based on luck? This includes Kills by the way as you are basically having to hope that your kills don't get intentionally or unintentionally stolen. Elims are fine as those are less luck based. Also, some challenges based around the Champion released in the same patch would be nice. In this patch for example, Corvus was just released, but the Support Challenges are based around Grohk and Furia.

I wish they could make the hitboxes more accurate to the (default) character models, it would fix so many things in this game like snipers hitting you behind corners.

Can't wait for paladins 2.

Nice

Zhin ult hitbox is so big you can miss your target and fly the full distance of the ult while still hitting a target and killing them where the hitbox clipped them.

Regarding the Lex bounty, I think it would be more thematic if it selected the opposing player with the highest streak. Or in the case of changing bounty targets, to the next-highest streak. It's giving a bounty based on streak length so it makes sense.

You want to know what update/change would out-rule every single one of these updates? Fixing matchmaking.

Wow really disappointed in their response to making Skye a most versatile champion and not just a joke pick... She's not in a good spot since her healing talent is all that's propping her up and still not by alot...

any update on crash fixes for the switch or adding in the feature so we can talk in lobby text chat? why is it the only console that can't communicate with anyone else?

Viktor's life rip card in console is way too strong, it does needa nerf though...

Hey Jay! Any chance you could suggest adding champions to the free track of the pattlepass (suiting the theme and/or skins of the pass)? It would benefit new players for fairly little effort and since there'd only be a few champions per battlepass there's not much worry about giving too much for free. It would also remove the possibility of the embarrassing "buys battlepass but doesn't have all the champions involved". For example this battlepass would have benefited greatly from having Drogoz in the free track. ^_^

Can they remove the green glow at spawn? It kinda gets in the way when I’m looking at skins

if we going to need bk cards can we also give him some good cards? he has like only 1 loadout, reload, hp, heal and fillers

Heal Grohk... is that you??? Is it a mirage???

i hope thay bring more mastery rewards in the game

About the Mastery pose and emote, one thing that would be cool is for the coin to be golden if you're using the golden skin (if that's not too much trouble to do as well) :D

As much as I love Io's ult when it works; Would it really be that hard to add a smaller, seperate hitbox for terrain collision?

Yessss mah girl seriss😏👅😂(only saw the thumbnail so far😂)

im glad they are looking at seris because mortal reach feels good for range but the animation is horrendous. one thing i'd suggest if the increased healing per second but normal duration change is not implemented, is that you are able to use other abilities during the animation that will cancel the heal, especially shadow travel.

In the Darkness and Dragon's patch notes, the first change in the Champions Balance section was: Ash Kinetic Burst - *AOC 2020 Able to toggle Kinetic burst similar to Sha Lin’s Crippling Arrow Currently on console I can't toggle Ash's Kinetic Burst. I tried pressing the Kinetic Burst button again after activating it, as well as every other ability button but nothing works. I can cancel Sha Lin's Crippling Arrow by pressing the Crippling Arrow ability button again but I can't do the same for Ash's Kinetic Burst. Might be something worth bringing up in the next meeting if this is actually an issue affecting other players.

This wasn't covered in the video so like so Jay can see this. Not sure if it's a bug or intentional, but if you go blastflower with Willo, and shoot a Kogas character model while he's dashing (supposed to be untargetable) you don't do any damage but blastflower can stack it's damage. So when he's done dashing you can immediately hit max stack damage.

Can we get the option to pick champion to fight against in custom games for training

I think z1 forgot to mention that andros power of the abyss card also procs on deployable's. Also drogoz masterful card was already changed to not proc on deplorables. I think it's the same on spitfire but I could be wrong.

I know it might be a little too soon but could they possibly reduce Corvus's abyssal reconstruction by 1s because it feels awful at 4s

I wish we could have any voicepack for a champion across all their skins. For example, You could use merrymaker lian's voicepack on High elf's skin.

about seris, i feel like the main buff i would like for her would be a slight damage boost, mainly i would like rend souls damage to be incresed to 150 per orb. becouse i think her damage is the one thing she lacks the most. also i think it would be nice if dredge got some buff, one thing i think that could be good for him wold be reducing the fuze time of his main bombs, as i think that the long fuse time just causes a lot of his shots to do nothing becouse by the time they explode the enemy is already out of the area.

Give Iron Sight crosshair to all Viktor’s guns?

Talus is good on console because his hurtbox has little aim assist, especially when he's running the movement speed card while rune is active. It's part of the bigger issue on the console version because characters have different aim assist values for their weapon such as Cassie and Sha who have really low aim assist while Talus, Viv, Vik, Tyra, etc have significantly more. I personally think making it the same across the board will make the game feel better and more consistent for console and would allow other characters who aren't hitscan to thrive.

They think the balance is in a good spot? I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry...

Terms ult sometimes invisable so you cant see him or the ult effect only the sound which is rlly bad

I understand the zhin ult hitbox fix but dont you think his ult without guillotine is kinda bad

With how popular hitscan weapons are, it's really tough to play as Evie and survive. An idea I have would be to have Ice Block reduce damage as soon as you exit it to ensure you have some semblance of a chance to escape. as it stands when you use Ice Block, youre almost guaranteed to be dead once you exit out of it.

Grohk Buff Hype!

Can we fix fps drops on shalin or it will get fixed once the game dies?

Can you bring up the long time bug where Lian does a fixed 800 damage with Presence?

7:05 amen to that, i would even prefer reducing his ult dmg and giving that damage reduction since most of the time that dmg its useles cause enemies have all the time in the world to escape Terminus ults

this game is so much fun now but there is something that feels wrong idk what it is.

we need more gamemodes

Can they work on fixing Drogoz? Every time I play against a Drogoz they teleport from the ground to the skybox and back over and over. Its not lag on my part, and it seems to happen too consistently to be latency from the Drogoz. Fixing this would be great.

Could you ask next time if they will ever going to look on street justice? like it's so frustrating to play against a Maeve like that. plus the talent feels rly op by the means that you can reset it with "9 lives", lower both cd of the Q and the right clic.... idk where devs thought it was balanced since 2 years they added it (and never nerf it)

I can feel a Tiberius and Term nerf coming. Terms in such a good position in terms of tanks rn.

Maybe they could try and look at hitbox lag linked to certain skills and reworking underused or unworthwhile talents like Imani's pyromania/mana rift, Kinessa eagle eye, etc.

I have a problem. So i started using the Epic Launcher cause i wanted to change my ingame name and i changed it last patch. Now that the new patch is live, my name is back to the old one. How can i change it back?

do we even really need a luna stun indicator? its not like you can control whether she stuns or not, i really wish we can stun what we want instead of doing it automatically whenever we hit with basic attacks. i wish that if you press Q on a target it would activate the luna stun and if you hold down the Q button for one second then it will reposition luna

I was thinking about why Khan commander's grab feels bad to play against, and I think it comes down to players not having the ability to react against it. Damba stun feels fair because you hear the snake hissing anywhere between one half second to one second before the stun is live. BK's gumpy bomb has a big flashing bomb and angry indicator pop up on screen. Atlas's setback has the gun charging sound. With Khan, you aren't given a chance to dodge when he charges forward. I think it's similar to the reason some people complain about jenos' void grip. Both grab and grip create a sort of 'dead zone' around the respective character. I know developer's usually appreciate feedback on how something feels more than suggestions on how to fix something, but in this case I think I have an actionable suggestion. It would be helpful if Khan and jenos played a global (or at least local) sound que at the time commander's grab/void grip come off cooldown. It doesn't make the ability reactable but at least then their opponents can make an informed decision about the risks of being within range of those characters' powerful abilities.

I have an idea to balance strix Remove him

How are you watching the match you played in?

Can we not have to play with a bot if a player disconnects in ranked?

if they "fix" zhin's ult hitbox like they did with lian. the difference being that zhin has a whole talent built around his ult which would be wasted in that case...

Noo not my boy bomb king!

Seris buff hell yeah

I think making seris hold down the right click to heal(like io or mercy from ow) would make her feel better to play.

Jay can we get third person in casuals back?

For Seris: *Change the stun talent to apply per mark instead of all or nothing at full marks.* i.e. 0.25 second per mark, up to 1 second. The micro stun would make it a lot better at higher elo since you can always guarantee the stun and give her much needed utility. *Change the stacking talent on mark detonation.* Still increases health per stack and the cap increased slightly, but each stack gives the same amount of health. Damage amp removed and replaced with Seris gives bonus damage to targets' attacks she is currently healing based on Seris' stacks. It might be similar to Jenos' Luminary, but done in an unique way, and one where you need to earn bigger damage bonuses and maintain the health increase. (applies to those being healed by the AoE as well) i.e. 0% bonus damage at base and increases all the way to 20% at maximum stacks or something like that, on top of making Seris turned into a tanky support.

I Stan seris buffs

Yes a Seris buff not really what I want from her since soul collector is her best talent I'll take it though. The buff I want is to her ult on stairs or ramps it doesn't suck them into her convergence. I have a clip if you don't understand what I mean.

just wondering is there a change they can make it so formidable can only activate while you are alive?

I gotta say I'm glad the lex screen shake is finally being recognized..I remember telling you about it when it first appeared..better late than never I guess..I'm sad the one dps I feel actually is well balanced is getting hit..that being bk..and Victor's sustain doesnt bother me..its his free ult and burst fire card having no negatives that makes victor feel really brain dead..he already has infinite mobility..he should have more risk..and the fact hes being favored by the devs intentionally doesnt look good as a player as hes not at all fun to vs with the above mentioned issues I feel need addressed..Then theres tslus..if talus wasnt the safest character in paladins hed be more interesting..but the fact he can dive mindlessly and escape Scott free really sours my opinion of him and if he ever got buffed that would need to go..hes very lame to face rn

I SEE SERIS I CLICK.

giving seris stun in her base kit sounds good . top supports in the game have stun/grip/cripple in their base kit so why not seris . she can become more usefull
