Novigradian but he can also allow for really aggressive plays with his q and still make sure no one peaks around that corner with all that fire rate... I really like him...
Ruckus's strenght is multiplied by the amount of teammates that cluster around him. As long as they don't wander of and play solo, he can turn his entire team into mini-tanks.
Inara needs a buff really bad. Her damage is trashy and why do she only have 6 rounds in her weapon. She needs more and i hate that its not automatic either. When someone runs up to you and shoot you can't do anything because when you shoot it have like a two second start up or something. It goes pow pow pow then stop 1. 2. pow pow pow then stop 1. 2. Pow pow pow and its really hard to shoot the champions... make her weapon automatic with no pausing if they do this she would be perfect
/watch?v=-usY_q-pVtg check out my gameplay with Nando, i think that's the way this champ should be played, they have to stop the nerfs to force him to be at the point.
armagedoc66 that would be cool... I tank main Ruckus and, even tho I usually do well, he needs to be slightly more tanky... better card on his repulsive shield (q) would be very sweet...
I prefer Barik over Fernando for his ability to heal (do you see our team's Ying somewhere, 'cause I sure don't), but I agree completely with the rest of the list. Ruckus is the least tanky tank in the game, and that's a bit troubling.
Fernando can somewhat heal with that certain card that allows him to heal up to half health when his shield is up. I couldnt keep track of how many times this has saved me, especially when my team is all Damage or Flank classes that run in to die.
I'd be so bummed out if they decide to rework Ruckus, he's so much fun to play as a bruiser/off-tank, he does an amazing job of providing cover fire for the tank and zoning the opponent off the point. Love these discussion-type videos by the way, keep'em coming :).
Makoa is def. first place for me using the card to reduce hook cooldown ,pulling enemy to your team, strong shield,amazing ult and nice escape. But thats just my opinion.
I agree that if you know how to play Barik he can have more sustain on the point than Makoa. And about Fernando, theres no discussion, hes by far the best tank in the game.
100% with you there. This was such a good video, because you actually discussed in depth the reason behind your choices and its hard to deny those reasons. Some may view Makoa higher, but i agree that Barik and Fernando are the best because of their versatility and ability to handle different situations (if played well of course) I do not think Fernando is much weaker than he was before, i do think he still fulfills his role well and can still be a huge threat to the backline, but little less so and in need of a more skilled player to pull it off. The thing i love about Barik is that he is the only champion (except maybe ruckus) that can shield and fight, though unlike ruckus, his shield aids his allies too. Fighting around that barrier is so much fun and often depicts whether you win a duel or not. Blocking that crucial ruckus or Androxus ult and still fighting back doing so just hits that SWEET SPOT for me ^^. Favourite Champion
Totaly agree. Btw when you speak about that broken buck, you can try him also as off-tank like ruckus. His sustain and 3k hp makes him a good companion for strong tanks and he is deadly with makoa.
there are loadouts that actually changes fernando playstyle from the walking fortress to a raging bull with 6k hp. And that raging bull "flank-y" style is actually getting much more popular among competitive players. but my advice is that u should only use that playstyle when u have 1 more tank to stay on the capture point.
Yes. Because Fernando can deal huge damage, he has cards like hot pursuit and running start to chase low damage enemies. Most pro players they use aggressive deck for Fernando.
Well, sometimes staying on the point is bad play on Fernando if there is at least one other person who can stay there. I'm at around 4200 MMR and from my experience the best way to play him is to play really aggro. You gotta read the situation tho, dont go around diving the backline if there are like 3 enemies pressuring point and you have no one else to play ooftank
I agree with this wholeheartedly. ruckus is by far my favorite front liner, but even I know his weaknesses at being an actual frontliner. He requires a whole lot of team assistance, but when he's got a strong team l, he becomes one of the best, his damage output, while relatively small, is forgiving, he can afford a few missed shots giving him great damage over time. Fernando is my most effective front liner. his dash, his fireball, and his flame Lance makes him really good at positioning for the perfect line up.
I absolutely agree with this list. Being a Fernando main i can say he is a beast. There have been so many times i have been able to contest a point with the whole enemy team alone for a few seconds. He is perfect being a tank and giving protection
I wish I could find a way to push Ruckus into the top 3, but he's literally unplayable due to the deafening attack helicopter sound bug going on at the moment.
My favorite is Inara due to here special card that reduces her wall cooldown by 70% and her ability card that allows the wall to launch her into the air. I use this to get behind grouped up enemies and lay down the slowing stone while also lowering the wall to create an opportunity for teammates to surround or ambush while enemies focus Inara with a slowed effect, the wall comes back in two seconds which I use to keep weakened enemies from retreating or block off long ranged damage or what I don't have a counter card for. It's a great escape as well when you have that jump, it confuses enemies because ya don't see Inara in the air very often, she's normally extremely grounded. Her abilities are situational though and it takes a lot of awareness and practice to get her down, the third person view I feel makes her much easier to use in that regard. Her true power comes out when you have a good healer on the team because her shield increases her healing amount. I understand why she isn't the most used or not in any top lists, but she is my absolute favorite. I also think Ashe is a beast. She has two knock backs and her dash is great for engaging and disrupting. Probably the most disruptive tank in the game with the ability to split up grouped enemies for sure or single out a person or close the gap between her and a sniper. I guess I like disruption lol xD
I agree with u on this. I've played Fernando before his buff and I couldn't do anything but keep my shield up. Now I have to watch out for his fire power. It goes further out from him and hurts. He used to be weaker than barik, but now he's top dog. I like barik even against Fernando. With my healing turrets I only need to boost away for a moment to heal. But Fernando still does damage to me than I can to him most times.
ReddCinema Yes Buck is not a tank but he has the same HP as Barik as a tank lol. Rucks is for me better than Barik as tank but Barik is good for dmg, Ying and Barik is my main..
well there's so much support can do you know. If the enemy team, got big damage dealer, drogoz, kinessa, and bomb king, you're screwed if they have cauterize 2. That means your support will be almost useless.
I use ruckus when we have a Fernando or makoa shielding so I can get right in the center of the enemies and mow them down, almost like a mix between a frontline and a flank, cuz of the pressure on damage characters
A Cassie burst combo can destroy him, makoa getting a hook on him or just getting the drop on him with most damage heroes. His biggest weakness is there's no quick way for him to get away so if you get the drop on him his only real chance to survive is try to kill you before you kill him. Also just be aware with his ironsight he can snipe pretty well so keep an eye on areas where he might want to go where he can shoot you, but you can't shoot back easily.
Raynday, what about ruckus's offensiveness?, you give a lot of (well deserved) praise to fernando's offensive capabilities, but i find that a well played ruckus can be a lot more destructive, the double charge on the dash allows him to reposition easely and pick of key targets with the monstrous damage he can deal in short time after the wind up when up close, and if played offensively (especially with the healing cards for his shields) he can easely zone out most offensive heroes, so wouldn't that give ruckus some extra points?
Way I see it, Rukus makes a good back-up tank for the times when your Bariks, Fernandos, and Makoas are in respawn mode. Rukus can at least buy time for the other tanks to get to the front again. Unfortunately, with how good he can be defensively, I'd put Makoa into the same boat as a "back-up" tank. Barik, on the other hand, has options to regain health while taking and giving damage. Get a Barik with a loadout that has him healing his turrets while his turrets heal himself and doing damage to you, and the occasional third turret from his Ult., and the shield, and you have a problem on your hands.
Honestly I really like ruckus. Even if he isn't good on competitive, I find him to be very fun to play and a great distraction. When I play ruckus, I draw attention away from everyone else, which can end up being really good for the team.
Ruckus is an offensive tank but that being said, he is good at one thing that a lot of other champions aren't. Suppression. He can just stand in a corridor, throw up his emitter shield and basically BRRRRRTTTTT his 200 rounds into the hallway, making sure that no one comes into it lest they be shredded. His right click's rocket's provide a somewhat decent poke against singular targets and his Ult, will basically shred everything in front of him short of an ulting Makoa. If played right, he can provide a lot of area denial. But yeah. He isn't a good primary frontline champ.
hey ray, test barik with + movement speed if passing through shield with healing station on 2 turrets. i can survive alone agains up to 3 enemy many times with that. just keep running around shield and survive. P.S. not effective agains drogoz and BK. the other, ok. best agains fernando, mal damba, and ruckus with slow movement speed. fernando flame sometimes hurt, but barik 3k health still can hold it
Hey dude! Awesome video! Still think Makoa is the best! Do you know if Paladins are going to release a replay button? Btw do you cooperate with high rez studios? I think I have seen you before on their twitch-channel/paladins channel :=)
He doesn't act very much like a tank in that he doesn't protect himself or others nearly as well as the other three tanks. He is more like a slow damage hero with extra health.
I've been playing with Ruckus the last several matches and can say he is not the best tank. He is just not sustainable enough, I need a Ying or Grover and/or another tank to be effective in the battlefield.
Makoa is what I play most of the time and he's my first Front Liner pick, but I agree. Fernando and Barik right now can do more than him. But Makoa is far more fun to play. I love hooking and letting go on an edge :D
My top 4 of best tanks in Paladins : 4 - Ruckus (Great damage, great HP but very slowly and generally need a support or another tanky character) 3 - Barik (Great damage, but only the right click give a shield) 2 - Fernando (Poor damages, if Fernando has no help, it's easy to kill him) 1 - Makoa (Big damages, great shield, very usefull to took an ennemy in our camp for rekt him)
5:15 ish - I can kill a barik with a sheild and 1 turret as maldamba. Just dash behind his sheild, turret, and himself, get him confused, throw a gourd at your feet and just spam your left click. Just requires good aim. As for 2 turrets, I honestly don't see too many barik with 2 turrets next to each other. (I use the reload card for attack so no extra damage, but I also use lifesteal and haven.)
I also attack mostly fernandos as maldamba for distraction and with my gourd I can actually negate quite a bit of damage so 6 times out of 10 I win. Maybe it's cuz I play casual.
TBH I am a ruckus main and I see why hes in 4th. He's not a front lines to much because he can't tank too much damage so only push the point or payload with him if you have your team
They should add more health to shield cause whenever I use Fernando the shield vaporate so quick force me to play as flank Fernando instead of front line
Brian D You shouldn't rely on your shield too much. Keep it up to protect your team by peeking the borders of your shield around corners to minimize the exposed surface area and the damage it takes, but at the same time allow your team to fire back. Your shield is meant to protect your team while advancing from choke point to choke point. When your shield goes down either fall back to the last choke you passed through and use the walls there, or charge into the enemy team to scatter them and prevent them from going into a deathball kind of formation, all the while going for the next chokepoint. Overall, his playstyle has a certain rhythm of alternating aggressive bursts and passively shielding. My sequence is Fireball-Charge at enemy team-firelance all around to scatter enemies -shield when hp gets low (all the while backing up to my team/on point) - then charge again to repeat the cycle after your shield goes down. TLDR: fern's shield is not as sturdy as you think. Use terrain for cover. Use shield to hold ground/be a mobile wall and advance. When shield goes down, play passively until shield cooldown or play aggressively by using firelance and flame ball.
The main problem with Fernando is that he is pretty much worthless if the rest of the team doesn't close up behind his shield and instead decides to stick back.
I would say that Makoa is the best if his team mates use his shield and charge the point with him. When you have a good Makoa on your team you are rewarded for team work and grouping up more so than with Fernando or Barik. Makoa has more range than them, and his shield covers a larger area. He is weak for the reasons you described but i would say that he has the highest potential for overall dominance of a game
You make Fernando sound so great I didnt know someone could say such positive things lol I suck at using him so I thought maybe hes not that good but I see now he can be and well his threat is a koga with master of arms his speed and never ending ammo to melt his shield and just outrun him ouch
Oliver Queen, maybe, i dunno how hard it gets as far as you get on rankeds, but with a good team to back up grover can let a makoa so big on life he won't ulti if not needed.
Ruckus is the best tank buster and best champ for cauterize since he can just spam his primary fire on someone resetting the cooldown indefinitely, highly underrated, Don't know how you have Barik so high when he's one of the most immobile champs with one of the weakest guns, weak ultimate, underwhelming turrets
and i also dont care that some of the characters are the sane as overwatch characters because every good game designer has a game maker or company that they look up to but this applies to everything in life
Ruckus is more like an 'Anti Tank'. He can literally chew through shields.
Novigradian but he can also allow for really aggressive plays with his q and still make sure no one peaks around that corner with all that fire rate... I really like him...
Ruckus's strenght is multiplied by the amount of teammates that cluster around him. As long as they don't wander of and play solo, he can turn his entire team into mini-tanks.
prospectus maybe if they buffed that q a little he would be more in the meta
No, he can't literally chew through shields.
Goldy get Wrecker on him and no shield survives long, trust me...
Lol top 4, bcuz there are only 4 lololololol
EXACTLY! That's what I was gonna say ahah but scrolled the comments and saw you !
was gona say that too
Ma name is Gem!!1! same here
"content"
grover is pretty much a tank he should be in the list
It still grinds my gears Grover has an axe..
i would like them to make grover an emo skin and a taunt of him cutting himself
Inara needs a buff really bad. Her damage is trashy and why do she only have 6 rounds in her weapon. She needs more and i hate that its not automatic either. When someone runs up to you and shoot you can't do anything because when you shoot it have like a two second start up or something. It goes pow pow pow then stop 1. 2. pow pow pow then stop 1. 2. Pow pow pow and its really hard to shoot the champions... make her weapon automatic with no pausing if they do this she would be perfect
totally agree, fernando is in a sweet spot right now, a good tank but not super good, please stop nerfing him
/watch?v=-usY_q-pVtg check out my gameplay with Nando, i think that's the way this champ should be played, they have to stop the nerfs to force him to be at the point.
Lorenzo Giancristofaro
Barik is my favorite frontlner ^^ he's so versatile when it comes to attacking and defending
Really nice video! One off the best ive seen this whole year, thats a lot..
I guess rukus need double legend health regen cards for both of his shields, so he can be a real front-line dude.
armagedoc66 that would be cool... I tank main Ruckus and, even tho I usually do well, he needs to be slightly more tanky... better card on his repulsive shield (q) would be very sweet...
Oh , you put Ruckus as last cuz he is the only goblin in the game?!
Racist!
JK.
Chavsberry Gaming ugh... and bolts
oh i thought it was bert
Sinsanatis ahhahhahahha BERT OMG THAT IS SO FUNNY BERT
Sinsanatis ahhahhahahha BERT OMG THAT IS SO FUNNY BERT
Wyatt Cusick what? is sounds like bert

Cybot2966 I know, I use the Last Stand card, too - however, it's lightyears behind what Healing Station and One Man's Scrap combo provides.
I'd be so bummed out if they decide to rework Ruckus, he's so much fun to play as a bruiser/off-tank, he does an amazing job of providing cover fire for the tank and zoning the opponent off the point.
Love these discussion-type videos by the way, keep'em coming :).
He does all that when you play with noobs... as you proggress trough the game he starts to get really bad
Yeah i learn that the hard way, reach a point as the enemy team see me all will target at me xD
He starts to get bad only when you're bad.
bobonlan its not about a single player its about a team even if your good getting bad support will destroy you
DANK HARAMBE Funny you say that because i happen to eat Grover for breakfast on my Ruckus!
4. Barik
3. Makoa
2. Ruckus
1. Fernando
Makoa is def. first place for me using the card to reduce hook cooldown ,pulling enemy to your team, strong shield,amazing ult and nice escape. But thats just my opinion.
1 torvald
2 terminus
3 ash
4 fernando
I agree that if you know how to play Barik he can have more sustain on the point than Makoa. And about Fernando, theres no discussion, hes by far the best tank in the game.

*My list would be:*
_4. Barik 👧_
_3. Ruckus 👽_
_2. Fernando 👱_
_1. Makoa 🐢_
agreed, barik is the worse by a mile, everything about him is terrible. This list should be a sin.
Personally, I don’t like Fernando and I think that Ruckus great when he is used against me but I can’t use him at all...
FinNote barik fernando mkoua roakas
FinNote me too
barik is the best
Agree with the list.
Ruckus is top tier in casual queue though.
Totaly agree. Btw when you speak about that broken buck, you can try him also as off-tank like ruckus. His sustain and 3k hp makes him a good companion for strong tanks and he is deadly with makoa.
So... Fernando is also a super strong flank?
Well. There is something wrong with that. I just don't know why.
If played right, I'd say yes. He (imo) does lack in sustained chasing ability though, most actual flanks are better in that regard.
there are loadouts that actually changes fernando playstyle from the walking fortress to a raging bull with 6k hp. And that raging bull "flank-y" style is actually getting much more popular among competitive players. but my advice is that u should only use that playstyle when u have 1 more tank to stay on the capture point.

I'm at around 4200 MMR and from my experience the best way to play him is to play really aggro. You gotta read the situation tho, dont go around diving the backline if there are like 3 enemies pressuring point and you have no one else to play ooftank
/watch?v=-usY_q-pVtg check out that gameplay, that playstyle sometimes is the only way to fight a match, no healer against strong point control team.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. ruckus is by far my favorite front liner, but even I know his weaknesses at being an actual frontliner. He requires a whole lot of team assistance, but when he's got a strong team l, he becomes one of the best, his damage output, while relatively small, is forgiving, he can afford a few missed shots giving him great damage over time. Fernando is my most effective front liner. his dash, his fireball, and his flame Lance makes him really good at positioning for the perfect line up.
Buck has the strongest shotgun? Perhaps, but does compare those reloads. Also compare the shield.
Make top 4-5 for ather roles too i realy enjoy this type of videos :)
I absolutely agree with this list. Being a Fernando main i can say he is a beast. There have been so many times i have been able to contest a point with the whole enemy team alone for a few seconds. He is perfect being a tank and giving protection
I wish I could find a way to push Ruckus into the top 3, but he's literally unplayable due to the deafening attack helicopter sound bug going on at the moment.
When the heck are they going to fix that?
My favorite is Inara due to here special card that reduces her wall cooldown by 70% and her ability card that allows the wall to launch her into the air. I use this to get behind grouped up enemies and lay down the slowing stone while also lowering the wall to create an opportunity for teammates to surround or ambush while enemies focus Inara with a slowed effect, the wall comes back in two seconds which I use to keep weakened enemies from retreating or block off long ranged damage or what I don't have a counter card for.

Probably the most disruptive tank in the game with the ability to split up grouped enemies for sure or single out a person or close the gap between her and a sniper. I guess I like disruption lol xD
Didn't use TF2 Engineer skin on Barik footage. Instant scrubbiness.
Nice interview on OB37 today!
I agree with u on this. I've played Fernando before his buff and I couldn't do anything but keep my shield up. Now I have to watch out for his fire power. It goes further out from him and hurts. He used to be weaker than barik, but now he's top dog. I like barik even against Fernando. With my healing turrets I only need to boost away for a moment to heal. But Fernando still does damage to me than I can to him most times.
I feel like Sha Lin could be a good counter to Fernando if distance is wide.
+Droop Hoop Videos yes absolutely, I think he's a very good tank counter
Raynday Gaming | I feel like Sha Lin are good against tanks in general, but are weak against flanks in general.
And now the top 5 are
1. Inara
2. Khan
3. Ash
4. Terminus
5. Makoa
I agree Fernando is such a powerful character when played right, he is my main haha
Yeah I agree, that's my exact list (I haven't made a video about it though. Hmm, come to think of it, maybe I should try making one of these).
What do u mean by the top 4 tanks? There is only 4 tanks in paladins? Everyone knows ruckus is the shittiest tank.
well not tanky, but his dps is fucking awesome
ReddCinema not really go and try Barik, he has just 3k HP as a tank lool even Buck has more HP...
TwoFace Dent barik is a way better tank than ruckus, and buck is not a tank...
ReddCinema Yes Buck is not a tank but he has the same HP as Barik as a tank lol.
Rucks is for me better than Barik as tank but Barik is good for dmg, Ying and Barik is my main..
Fern is the best tank if you have him in your group you win almost every time.
I main ruckus as frontline as long as the support is good enough
which happens once every 10 matches
well there's so much support can do you know. If the enemy team, got big damage dealer, drogoz, kinessa, and bomb king, you're screwed if they have cauterize 2. That means your support will be almost useless.
Oliver Queen which happens once every 10 matches...
pick.a.tank.they.grab.ruckus....
Ahh those times..
the way you rushed into two tanks with ruckus kinda shows you have no idea how to play it
I use ruckus when we have a Fernando or makoa shielding so I can get right in the center of the enemies and mow them down, almost like a mix between a frontline and a flank, cuz of the pressure on damage characters
Some kind of video explaining how to deal with Viktor? He sames way to OP right now.
*seems
Chubs McGrubbs flanks destroy him
A Cassie burst combo can destroy him, makoa getting a hook on him or just getting the drop on him with most damage heroes. His biggest weakness is there's no quick way for him to get away so if you get the drop on him his only real chance to survive is try to kill you before you kill him.
Also just be aware with his ironsight he can snipe pretty well so keep an eye on areas where he might want to go where he can shoot you, but you can't shoot back easily.
Raynday, what about ruckus's offensiveness?, you give a lot of (well deserved) praise to fernando's offensive capabilities, but i find that a well played ruckus can be a lot more destructive, the double charge on the dash allows him to reposition easely and pick of key targets with the monstrous damage he can deal in short time after the wind up when up close, and if played offensively (especially with the healing cards for his shields) he can easely zone out most offensive heroes, so wouldn't that give ruckus some extra points?
What's the background music? Great video btw! :)
How do I counter Ruckus as Fernando? Wrecker? Life Rip? Just stay away?
I love ruckus as front line, I use his cards to specially help with standing on points and survivability so my team can get to me.
Way I see it, Rukus makes a good back-up tank for the times when your Bariks, Fernandos, and Makoas are in respawn mode. Rukus can at least buy time for the other tanks to get to the front again. Unfortunately, with how good he can be defensively, I'd put Makoa into the same boat as a "back-up" tank.
Barik, on the other hand, has options to regain health while taking and giving damage. Get a Barik with a loadout that has him healing his turrets while his turrets heal himself and doing damage to you, and the occasional third turret from his Ult., and the shield, and you have a problem on your hands.
Honestly I really like ruckus. Even if he isn't good on competitive, I find him to be very fun to play and a great distraction. When I play ruckus, I draw attention away from everyone else, which can end up being really good for the team.
So always play Fernando! xD.
I use Ruckus just as you describe. Him with a better tank to shield him more absolutely ravages through teams
Ruckus is an offensive tank but that being said, he is good at one thing that a lot of other champions aren't. Suppression. He can just stand in a corridor, throw up his emitter shield and basically BRRRRRTTTTT his 200 rounds into the hallway, making sure that no one comes into it lest they be shredded. His right click's rocket's provide a somewhat decent poke against singular targets and his Ult, will basically shred everything in front of him short of an ulting Makoa. If played right, he can provide a lot of area denial.
But yeah. He isn't a good primary frontline champ.
hey ray, test barik with + movement speed if passing through shield with healing station on 2 turrets. i can survive alone agains up to 3 enemy many times with that. just keep running around shield and survive.
P.S. not effective agains drogoz and BK. the other, ok. best agains fernando, mal damba, and ruckus with slow movement speed. fernando flame sometimes hurt, but barik 3k health still can hold it
If your a torvald mail like me then you'd know how good he is and he can stay alive for along time
Did they nerf fernando's shield? To me its looking smaller
Hey dude! Awesome video! Still think Makoa is the best!
Do you know if Paladins are going to release a replay button?
Btw do you cooperate with high rez studios? I think I have seen you before on their twitch-channel/paladins channel :=)
TheSpearfishingDummies he does commentary for their games...
One of makoas load outs is to be able to drop shell shield it's just that most people don't use that
The Top 4 Best Tanks In Paladins! omg there are about 4 tank character in Paladins
Where would you rank other frintliners like Inara, Toorvald, and Terminus? I feel that Terminus is fairly weak but the other two can be really strong.
how can i get this interface??
Ensolo Update the game
way to make makoa better is make it so enemies can't enter his shield and make it shatters knocking enemies back when it runs out
I was going to say that half sheild allowed mokoa to move with his sheild up and attack
I think you should do top 5 characters in Paladins
whats funny is that makoa's shield is now the best, especially with a certain build, it makes shields have only 3 cooldown with chronos 2
now we have a torvald:P
In my opinion, ruckus is THE best tank/front liner.
If you're good at him you can wreck shit up
He doesn't act very much like a tank in that he doesn't protect himself or others nearly as well as the other three tanks. He is more like a slow damage hero with extra health.
lul he is ok with the right team comp but he is 100% not a good champ atm
ReddCinema he is great as a second tank
I've been playing with Ruckus the last several matches and can say he is not the best tank. He is just not sustainable enough, I need a Ying or Grover and/or another tank to be effective in the battlefield.
artistic terrestrials damba is better for healing
Makoa is what I play most of the time and he's my first Front Liner pick, but I agree. Fernando and Barik right now can do more than him.
But Makoa is far more fun to play. I love hooking and letting go on an edge :D
How does he have a different HUD in game? Like his scoreboard and such are different
Will you do top 4 flank champions?
Ruckus has by far the most damage out of them... I dare to say that he can deal more damage than most damage champs
I have a question. Why you push players instead of capturing point when playing on tank?
my top 4
4. Khan
3.Makoa
2. Fernando
1.Inara
And fernando I use him all the time love his phrases.
Are there any plans to add CC to the baseline kits of any Frontliners besides Makoa? It seems odd that he is the only one with CC.
4:40 Why Old Paladins?
My top 4 of best tanks in Paladins :
4 - Ruckus (Great damage, great HP but very slowly and generally need a support or another tanky character)
3 - Barik (Great damage, but only the right click give a shield)
2 - Fernando (Poor damages, if Fernando has no help, it's easy to kill him)
1 - Makoa (Big damages, great shield, very usefull to took an ennemy in our camp for rekt him)
5:15 ish - I can kill a barik with a sheild and 1 turret as maldamba. Just dash behind his sheild, turret, and himself, get him confused, throw a gourd at your feet and just spam your left click. Just requires good aim. As for 2 turrets, I honestly don't see too many barik with 2 turrets next to each other. (I use the reload card for attack so no extra damage, but I also use lifesteal and haven.)
I also attack mostly fernandos as maldamba for distraction and with my gourd I can actually negate quite a bit of damage so 6 times out of 10 I win. Maybe it's cuz I play casual.
Can't you use half shell for makoa to make the shield better
Holy shit did Hi-Rez buy you a 10,000$ mic? Your voice sounds amazing
TBH I am a ruckus main and I see why hes in 4th. He's not a front lines to much because he can't tank too much damage so only push the point or payload with him if you have your team
I think that the best support with barik is grover because he can heal the turrets passively
They should add more health to shield cause whenever I use Fernando the shield vaporate so quick force me to play as flank Fernando instead of front line
Fernando is bonkers good. try editing your loadout for a stronger shield
Brian D You shouldn't rely on your shield too much. Keep it up to protect your team by peeking the borders of your shield around corners to minimize the exposed surface area and the damage it takes, but at the same time allow your team to fire back. Your shield is meant to protect your team while advancing from choke point to choke point. When your shield goes down either fall back to the last choke you passed through and use the walls there, or charge into the enemy team to scatter them and prevent them from going into a deathball kind of formation, all the while going for the next chokepoint.
Overall, his playstyle has a certain rhythm of alternating aggressive bursts and passively shielding. My sequence is Fireball-Charge at enemy team-firelance all around to scatter enemies -shield when hp gets low (all the while backing up to my team/on point) - then charge again to repeat the cycle after your shield goes down.
TLDR: fern's shield is not as sturdy as you think. Use terrain for cover. Use shield to hold ground/be a mobile wall and advance. When shield goes down, play passively until shield cooldown or play aggressively by using firelance and flame ball.
they probably just got wrecker
The main problem with Fernando is that he is pretty much worthless if the rest of the team doesn't close up behind his shield and instead decides to stick back.
What loadout did you use in your fernando gameplay? And is it the one from your fireball one shots video?
I would say that Makoa is the best if his team mates use his shield and charge the point with him. When you have a good Makoa on your team you are rewarded for team work and grouping up more so than with Fernando or Barik. Makoa has more range than them, and his shield covers a larger area. He is weak for the reasons you described but i would say that he has the highest potential for overall dominance of a game
man makoa is my main and i think he's one of the better tanks with tier 3 haven it's really hard to take him down.
I did everything it said and I still didn't get the free skins for adding them on social media and getting it on steam
can anyone help?
pls make an updated list
You make Fernando sound so great I didnt know someone could say such positive things lol I suck at using him so I thought maybe hes not that good but I see now he can be and well his threat is a koga with master of arms his speed and never ending ammo to melt his shield and just outrun him ouch
Lol 4? There's only 4 tanks lmao ..?
oooh whos sha lin
Sha lin will most probably be a flank
Dhruv Yadav nah, hes more of a dmg to me. but who knows. he might be flank.
Sinsanatis he looks like a flanker based on its skillset, but i checked on wiki it said he is damage
Dhruv Yadav yeah at first i was thinking maybe his f is kinda like a flanker, but looking at everything hes like a hit and run
I wonder how the list would change now that Makoa has Half Shell
What about makoa's non-channelled shield?
When he said the office, what did you mean?
Can you Do a new vid on This cuz now there are a lot more frontline champs
How did you have the dual machine guns when it is a power up kinda thing for Ruckus
i believe makoa and grover better than ying, because grover can quickly go in, heal makoa and dash out to do range damage while makoa shields
I believe you're still low level? Because cauterize can easily counter grover.
Oliver Queen, maybe, i dunno how hard it gets as far as you get on rankeds, but with a good team to back up grover can let a makoa so big on life he won't ulti if not needed.
Sharingus -/l/- Grover is like the 3rd best healer at a higher rank
Shadow Noon i can see that
how good is mal' dambra? cause I love him he is my fav supp
Ruckus is the best tank buster and best champ for cauterize since he can just spam his primary fire on someone resetting the cooldown indefinitely, highly underrated, Don't know how you have Barik so high when he's one of the most immobile champs with one of the weakest guns, weak ultimate, underwhelming turrets
where i can watch the pro scene
and i also dont care that some of the characters are the sane as overwatch characters because every good game designer has a game maker or company that they look up to but this applies to everything in life
What for team line up do you recommend for a flank-nando?
Never seen someone play Fernando as a flanker
"He's your closer. You put him in in the 4th quarter."
What?!?!
As a baseball player that offended me lol
When I first play Paladins I was Fernando and got a lot of eliminations
Mumpyz My whole life was a lie '-' can anyone confirm?
Even the bots are little hard
Am i the only one who actually knew i was fighting with bots?
Ruckus the worst ????? Thats rubbish
Oh, how fast things change! Just a little bit ago he was in a horrible spot, and now, this list needs redoing!
Raynday Gaming Also can you do top flanks or top dmgs?
RUCKUS IS NOT TANK BUT HES NOT WORSE BUT LIKE I SAW UP HE S MORE ANTI SHIELD
Do you prefer Siege or Payload and why?
I think the best tank is that big guy with the big viewmodel, you know the one with high health
