Paladins

Not gonna lie, I've been playing this game a lot over the past week and I think I actually enjoy it more than Overwatch. The art style is pretty crappy, and it's kinda buggy right now (it's beta after all), but the core gameplay just feels... faster than Overwatch? and tighter? Not sure how to describe it, but I really like it.

I'm kinda conflicted over the whole accusation of Paladins literally ripping off Overwatch. Yes, Paladins has a character with a jetpack that shoots rockets; yes, they also have a character who can hook people with a chain; and yes, they have a soldier character with an assault rifle and a sprinting ability. But... come on, did Blizzard really invent those things?
 
It's really much too short a time frame for a real blatant rip-off. Game development takes time; you can't properly clone a game released 4 months ago. A quick search turned up some commentary by the Paladins developer, and there's one quote that rings true: "Overwatch was announced. We were shocked and not sure what direction to take. We were already so far along with Paladins, but we didn't want to compete directly against Blizzard."
