Paladins videos are paying so little that Andrew can't afford to use the green screen 😔
FrostFangs hasn’t uploaded anything for more than a month already so you might actually be the last torch holder
Yeah he's gone quiet lately. I'm still using his builds though! :)
you gotta take care of yourself fam. it's weird for me to say it but i think paladins is in a pretty good state in terms of meta and balance, it's just that rivals killed it.
there's no matchmaking anymore.
you're young, you got tons of time to figure it all out
happy new year
We need a P2
@@h2woah127 But Hirez won't do that, they are too busy with Smite 2 and don't care about Paladins
i wish i could say this was true but meta/balancing is what killed the playerbase to begin with. me, and a lot of other high elo players, have quit the game due to hirez negligence of our voices, and their game falling off is very deserving.
I don’t feel like MR did much to Paladins. I’ve played it and I didn’t like it, it’s way more close to OW2 and doesn’t have the depth of Paladins (strategy, cards, talents, etc). I think the players who like Paladins are going to stick to it. And you’ll always have those casual players that will move between the two.
@@antalito3047 honestly as a former competitive paladins player MR spoke to me very much. it may not have the mechanical depth of paladins, but it very much has a wide variety of playstyles with each hero regardless. it feels like supports can make up for dmg, tanks can be on or off point, inidividual dmg heroes have flexibility in playstyle. it feels like paladins in a mechanically simplier but equally as mentally fulfilling form.
Respects my man. Paladins was still active because of mad lads like you.
Dont think evil mojo can save Palis with the new season... But hey... Never say never.
Wish you all the best in your future.
I played and continued to have fun and invest, until they completely changed Moji (I was a Moji 666). I think that in addition to Hirez, EM are certainly to blame for not having made the right choices too.
@@miksumbi9076ye the Moji rework wasn’t necessary.
The Paladins content space is rapidly becoming nothing but sweet memories, and it's sad. I've been playing since around the time Atlas was released, I've seen the peak Paladins experience, and I've seen the bottom. This game had a lot of potential but it just couldn't keep up. Honestly I don't even know if it survives through 2025.
thats rlly sad but understandable.
I will still hope for Paladins 2, but it is just dreaming at this point, I guess.
Paladins can't be revived the devs wasted the opportunity
@@aland7234 The devs didn't kill the game, Hirez and a lack of funding + advertising ended It all last year
@aland7234 its never too late to program the game new. Its just too late to hope it will happen
Chat are we cooked?
What?
Ye we cooked
Yeah
He stops playing I’ll probably stop playing
Not looking great ngl
no, because Marvel Rivals is the new Overwatch and the new Paladins
I bought the crystals more to help Devs then that i really need them . I want this game to evolve ...
that money is going straight into smite 2
@@schokomensch5436Despite that probably being true...The CEO of paladins didn't ask about paladins 2 for no reason.
If you have half a brain you'd know that they need smite 2 to succeed before moving onto the next thing.
If they get where they need to get with Smite 2...Paladins 2 is very likely.
Unfortunately that's 3-5 years away.
The paladins 2 post as I predicted was HIREZ coming to their senses....months later layoffs happened & games are being shut down.
Smite 2 just cooked with the release of "Aladdin"....so we'll see.
I can guarentee you that Hirez DOES NOT CARE
It's ok I followed you awhile and tbh your vid needs some spice from previous ones
I shall continue to watch and follow and support I loved your vids since I found you I had maybe 2 other I watched but yours made more sense then others
I don't really play Paladins anymore. But I still watch your stuff from time to time. That "BOMB KING!" intro really brings a smile.
Paladins will forever be a special game to me. It's hard to put my finger on but no matter the state of the game I always came back and played every now and again over the years. Some of my favorite video game characters ever are here. Tons of issues of course but really a gem that just always took a step forward and then 2 steps back.
Wish you the best for whatever the hell happens
Which ever direction you go in, will support you ❤️
You're not the only one standing between big changes and stopping content creation, i understand that feelings.
Dam this is like the only guy I like to watch play paladins
You gotta look for what is best for you Andrew, good luck I hope you succeed in your new projects
It’s really sad to see this because I just got back into paladins like a month ago and started watching your channel again because you were my favorite channel from a few years ago. I really hope others do the same and get back into the game and revive it a little. Either way I love your content and always will, and there’s plenty of Paladins to rewatch!
Its time soilder, we 100% support u andrew and i hope u only have success in the future! Ive also left paladins behind and its time
Homie I know it isnt your normal style, but you could absolutely do some retrospective commentary on the history and decline of Paladins. There is still a wealth of content around the game you could make, just in different flavors. You are an excellent orator, you know the game up and down, and while it probably won't keep you from having to move on eventually, those types of videos not only perform well when done well, but they tend to perform very well over time as people discover them.
yes! he's the best person possible to give a comprehensible retrospective for paladins, too.
You could do a mix of paladins, rivals and deadlock
damn, i found your channel like 3 days ago when i randomly got back into paladins and then i get this in the notification feed
best of luck to you andrew, really great guy from what ive seen and ill definitely watch any content you decide to make
Your content was the only Paladins content I loved. I always look so forward to your uploads and watch all of your vods till completion. Although it seem inevitable it makes me quite sad. Your character brings so much value to your content it makes it so enjoyable to watch. I thoroughly enjoy watching someone play the game well and explain all of the little mechanics within the game which otherwise go under the radar. Wish you the best with whatever you choose to do, but your Paladins content is genuinely one of my favourite things to watch and if it leaves I will sorely miss it. If only the game was in a better state aye?
Do what you gotta do, my guy. You have a great community of people who are ready to support you. Also I'm locked in for some Deadlock.
I wouldn’t have stuck with Paladins for as long as I did if it weren’t for you. Whether it’s Deadlock or something else, I’ll be there!
My suggestion would be to play other games with paladins on the side every time something new happens.
Bro should 100% join the rivals hype among other games.
i remember watching your videos 4-5 years ago when i played paladins. this just popped up on the side when watching a diff vid. this is kinda nostalgic
This is a captain who doesn't want to go down with this ship
It’s also not his ship, so that seems fair. He’s like a deck scrubber
@Steph1 he's got to be the best pirate i've ever seen
Whenever I randomly match with you in a match, I get excited that one of my favorite Paladins UA-camrs was in it. But yeah, things won't stay the same forever, but I'm hoping for you the best.
It’s very understandable and I wish you much luck for your future❤
Happy new year 🎉
You have to do what you have to do o7 thanks for being here for us for as long as you have. Let's just hope season 8 is good
all good unc, ive made the transition to marvel rivals and having a ton of fun. I will however always hop into your stream every now and then for some chill vibes
Have always loved paladins, will always love paladins. I appreciate your videos and hope you the best in your future strides no matter what they are.
Wish you nothing but the best for wheverever life takes you Andrew. You're a gem of a person, may you stay blessed no matter what stage you transition to with this channel.
This is such a bittersweet thing. I love this game to death. I genuinely think, I mean KNOW, it's a great game. I really wish there were more players, but it is what it is. Imma be here until the bitter end 💜
I’m not a fan of deadlock but whatever you do, I’ll support. Even if it’s just clicking on the video, watching a few minutes, like it then move on. You got a good work ethic and a perfect ethic for the UA-cam algorithm. I’d hate to see your channel die. Do what you need to do Mr. Chicken.
I wish you all the best. You’ve got time to figure out what you want. Follow your heart and your gut and hope to hear from you again soon.
just tried deadlock thanks to you, and i really enjoy it! it really scratches the paladins customisation itch :) would fully support you going that path
We need a Paladins 2 😌
Hi Rez is going to mess that up too
Yes true but I dont wanna lose all my stuff 😢😢
They don't have the budget
Pure delusion, not just logically but it has been proo en multiple times this is the dumbest thing you can do for a dying game.
Been playing ever since OB64. Watching you, z1, Kami, FrostFangs, Raventric, Kreepers, Vex30 and lots more. Basically anything Paladins. I find myself returning to the game every year just having tons of fun. It's been great lately too. But I also understand people want to move on, if their career depends on it. Just hope to see some people still remain just for the funzies and we might actually stay alive. Change is tough, but this was (and, heck, still is) an amazing ride
I really respect the Rivals opinion and I think, you need to do what you want to. I still hope once in a while youll stream Paladins though if season 8 doesnt go well.
thank you andrewchicken for putting out paladins content, despite the popularity of it. im really grateful for you and i will fully SUPPORT you in whatever direction you go!
dude I'll support you in anything you do. Thank you for the content thus far. also the clean up looks amazing on you. you look so healthy man!
always thought abt the quality of the videos,and how well you would perfom in other areas if you switched to other types of content,like commentary or something,big problem with a colapsing game,it takes its community with it
Yea Andrew already has the voice and the skills in editing, all he really need to do is start expanding his area and eventually he will find something.
Comment for engagement, best of luck Andrew ❤.
Hey man, I'm usually a lurker here, I don't really interact much in your channel, but I watch and like most or your vids, even if I haven't played Paladins for at least a year. I think I will still watch your videos even if you change your content, because I find you likeable and entertaining. So, you pick your career man, I absolutely agree that Paladins is kinda crawling at this point, and unless a miracle happens in Season 8, the player population decay will continue until the death of the game, specially now with the new strong titles that are Marvel Rivals and Deadlock
Hello Andrew, I love your content and it is one of the reasons that made me to come back to paladins time after time. I wish you luck no matter what you are going to do 😊
Haven’t been recommended a video of yours in ages and have been subscribed for a few years now. Even YT doesn’t want people to know Paladins still exists (lol).
Paladins has always been outshined by Overwatch and now that Marvel rivals has released it’s just going to live in yet any competitor’s shadow. Definitely makes it hard for any channel that covers the game to grow or even survive.
A better game deserves to have you in their community, Andrew. What that game is obviously is only up to you and whichever you choose I wish you the best ❤️
I would be sad to see you stop making Paladins contents (daily uploads are a blessing), but it's clear how much you're not enjoying the A-Z challenge as well, and how much you've been struggling with Paladins. It'll be a rough transition to Deadlock but you'll also find a lot of new viewers from that community. I don't want to see you drop all Paladins content entirely (though I can see that being the case), but the move to Deadlock makes sense comparing how genuinely enthusiastic you were through the Deadlock videos compared to the recent Paladins ones. Do what's best for you and that's what's going to be best for the channel! I'll be here regardless.
I am Hispanic and I always liked and consumed your content because I love paladins, thanks for the content you gave us, feel free to go your own way.
Whats the point of mentioning that you're hispanic lol
I haven't played Paladins since 2023, but every now and again I drop by your channel because of you, actually. I'm enjoying Rivals way more than Deadlock right now, but, whatever path you take, take care of yourself!
Bro your content is so good and informational, I'm sure you'll succeed in any game you choose to cover, hoping for the best
when mr chicken uploads a video like this you know the game being on its last leg is gravely cemented
Whatever happens, bro, don't worry! It's always darkest before the dawn!
The holidays, Marvel Rivals releasing, the timing of the battlepass - it was inevitable the last few months were gonna be dark. Even Overwatch took a massive hit in views and no one cared for the new character or free skins minus dedicated fans. Watch Rivals take a dip once Deadlock releases. It really is going to come down to Season 8. If it was possible, I wish they could make the battlepasses permanently owned and if they could finish one of the incomplete maps - those would give such a boost to me
There are so many games that are open and would be fun to watch! I know you said that you enjoy PoE and personally that is one of my favourite games (I really suck at it though) though that would be a big switch in content since it’s nothing similar to the stuff you post on this channel. There is a mine full of hidden gems of games out there and you just have to hit the right one that will make you enough money while still being something you’re passionate about. I wish you the best of luck and am planning on sticking around for a while yet.
Paladins is so special. It truly does have some kind of special ingredient that makes it so fun. At first I didn’t like your content Andrew, but eventually you grew on me and became my favorite Paladins Content Creator. Thank you for doing so much good for the community. I wish you the best of your future career
wish you the best bro. we'll be here for u
I'm honestly impressed at the fact there are still dedicated paladins content creators out there, look after your self man don't stretch your self too thin with paladins and ask your self "to what end?"
I'll still support u whatever way u wanna go.❤
I love paladins but it is dying.
Happy New Year btw🎉
We'll keep following you in you're journey!
Ill always be here for u Mr Chicken. I stopped playing paladins. I havent stopped watching every video u upload
YES it made me so happy when you said Deadlock! I really enjoy watching that game 😎
It has been a good ride. Hats off King!
Just remember man, you come first and if you gotta do something else for your own sake you should do it, we'll always remember what you've done for us ♥♥♥
It was a gg man, I’ll see ya’ll on marvel rivals!
I just want to say bro... Its crazy you've even gotten this big with Paladins. You've done enough. Whatever you do next I'll be around. ✊
Tbh Andrew, I'd try playing anything you suggest. Your community honestly loves you and I know you'll find your channel's way ❤
Coming back to your channel after a long time and DAMN do you look good with that cut and beard, clean af
As someone who used to play Paladins daily.. in 2023 I was mostly in a relationship so I didn't play often and barely played at all in 2024.
I blame Hi-Rez for basically giving up in Paladins. Unless they make Paladins 2, the game is going to die. It's been in the making for years, and now that Rivals is out I feel like they missed their chance
Used to watch your videos a ton, but after I stopped playing Paladins a year ago I haven't been following. Hate to say it, but loving Marvel Rivals even though I didn't think I would. I'll always love Paladins and will revisit it in the near future
Andrew admitting to not being into Marvel Rivals really explains as to why the videos he made felt so... out of tune, forced, and unfun to watch.
Best do what ever you think is right, Andrew-!
I hope Andrew keeps making videos. If he switches games, I'm going to watch the crap outta them.
i really love paladins as a game and i hope they find a way to bring it back
Its so sad about Paladins. Personally i found this game when i would get so fed up of overwatch but still wanted to play a hero shooter. Unfortunately, I like rivals more but would never want to see this game go😢
I'm in a situation that's similar. I love Paladins, and I tried Overwatch and Marvel Rivals and realized why I loved Paladins. But Paladins doesn't have much going for it at the moment.
Would absolutely love to see you maybe do marvel rivals videos. Already have a good fan base and could see you getting big in it. Only if that's what you want tho. Best of luck, man!
Omg the shave and cut are so clean
I mainly play OW, but seeing paladins content is always something cool to see when taking breaks, take care of yourself chicken
I feel you about content creation. I used to play paladins but moved onto rivals.
Excited for whatever you choose.
Make paladins a weekly series, and mix whatever you feel like playing the rest of the time, I got that type of fed up from time to time to the point that I drop games for weeks and be back to them very happy enjoying whatever I dropped too much and back and forth.
I respect and wish you the best regardless Andrew🙌🏽📈❤️
Hoping for the best for you 🙏
Can’t wait for the deadlock content!
It's so sad to the state Paladins is in right now. This random free game, a game so many people dismissed as just another Overwatch clone, was something I found in mid-2018. This game led to me meeting some of my closest friends, it led to me finding some amazing content creators like you, Infernal, Kami and Kreepers, this was a game that legitimately played a part in turning around some of the lowest points in my life, and I know for a fact that many others can say the same, as stupid as it may or may not sound. Words alone simply cannot express how much this game has done for me, and it's so depressing to see so many of those same friends and content creators I grew to love over the years choosing to leave the game due to how this past year has gone on. But you've earned my respect, Andrew, and regardless of where this channel goes, I will follow.
I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but personally I would love to see more Deadlock content from you!
Also yeah, love Paladins but it is in such a rough state right now
I stopped playing in a while returning from time to time. But when I saw devs more and more not giving a f about Paladins there was nothing to return anymore really. I love MOBA games, playing every game like new, experimenting with stuff, playing off meta etc, but you don't see that in shooters, you can try different characters but in time everything will become boring, that's why I don't like them even tho I'd like to play some first-person games. Yet Paladins managed to do that, and playing shooter while also building your champion felt hella interesting. It's just sad many factors didn't played out and things ended up like that.
Thank you for your contributions mr chicken
MAKE THE MOVE TO DEADLOCK! 100 percent support!
as a pretty casual and occasional paladins player I still like watching your stuff even on characters I have very little knowledge of mainly because you have a nice vibe, def consider branching out man you'd do well branching out to other games
OLD skool paladins player I kept playing paladins from the time koga was not even released. And now iam in deadlock as well welcome brother!
I love Paladins. The characters and mechanics are unique in a way I love. However, the match making is frustrating and I don't have friends who will play the game with me. Marvel Rivals is cool but it is not the same. A revamped Paladins 2 could be amazing even though I know that isn't happening.
I respect this, I started streaming in June 2024 and I played Paladins since launch, but when I started streaming I changed to play Overwatch 2! Fully converted to OW now and I'm so happy I did, Paladins is super special to me, and you were always the guy I turned to for loadouts! But it was a sinking ship, and I felt I was constantly being let down by Hi-Rez, sadly now I think Paladins is truly gone and after playing OW then returning to Paladins it's obvious how Hi-Rez has disregarded the game over so many years which shows exactly why it's on a downward trend! The thing is I think your content is good and you have a base to work with, maybe even learn a new style of game who knows! Wishing you the best in the future 😁
I really feel like if they decided to create a Paladins 2 and release it in a year, Paladins would be the next big game. The characters are amazing and even after 2 years of not playing, I still love Furia as a character and I would love to see her yk succeed in a good game
I have been here since Torvold was released in February 2017, since I picked up Marvel rivals this winter I have gotten 40 hours in a week. No other game has made me not want to play anything else other than Rivals. When I got Overwatch to play with my friends in 019 I still primarily played Paladins but Rivals feels closer to Paladins than it does Overwatch. If they don't fix progression in Paladins I may finally dip out permanently, and I strongly recommend you sink more hours into Rivals. This is coming from one Paladins vet to another, I wish you the best of luck but it seems as if we may have to lay our child to rest.
Rest in Peace, Paladins, 2016 to 2025. I was getting bullied in middle school because I first picked you up, but you were there with me through college.
andrewchickens, this is palkk gaming. please do what is best for the channel, and consider how and why you feel about gaming. i say gaming is all about the game. we made it through the helvian era but that energy isn't present anymore. paladins is the best concept for a hero shooter with the worst results from the developers, its only hopes are upgrading engine or another studio buying the ip. happy new year.
You will always remain da goat of paladins o7
It’d be funny if Paladins creators mixing all three games together caused Paladins to grow a little bit. Unlikely, but not impossible
Yeah I think a mix is a good thing, like once in a while a paladins video. I remember in the clash royale community, youtubers moving away from clash royale to brawl stars and still make, once in a while a clash royale video, when they felt like it.
Ive been getting really in to Deadlock, and as such have fallen off watching your content a little bit (it just stopped getting recommended to me as i moved away from Paladins as a whole), so I would be VERY happy to see you move in to more Deadlock content. Whatever you do, I wish you all the luck in the world
I would personally love to see Warframe content as I'm a big fan of the game myself. But it's more important that you play something you enjoy and will work well for content creation.
Gotta do you my friend. Hopefully ill still run into in game on your free time. - From a pip main
As a paladins player over overwatch I can still say I’m extremely enjoying marvel rivals. I know the customization of kits and purchases in game are one of the things that makes paladins so great and better than games like overwatch but as someone who loved marvel movies and loves hero’s being able to play with characters I watched growing up is just surreal and exciting. One of the biggest reasons that made marvel rivals so good is simply because they have the word “marvel” in it. I know you said you aren’t enjoying it but you said it best it’s the best business move and you just have to find your evie or your bombking and you will slowly fall in love with it. I love playing spiderman mainly because of the fun I had with Vi before he got nerfed to shreds. I know there’s not as much customization but I’m still having more fun on rivals than I’ve had on paladins in a long time. Just post one video of rivals and see how it does. The game will only continue to grow especially with season 1 coming so now would be a perfect time.
