The 42nd set of beta patch notes for Hi-Rez’s free-to-play team shooter hit this week, offering players a close look at the latest Champion to join the game’s ranks. Torvald the “Runic Sage” is a team player, assisting allies with protective health shields. He also possesses the ability to heal himself using a siphon ability on his enemies.
In addition to the new champion — which you can get a full preview of in the patch notes — the new update also adds a variety of cool customizations — including a collection of items that will make you look like a little green army man.
And, as always, there are a variety of tweaks to maps, characters and more as well.

Join discussionPaladins is great game. Different enough tos eperate itself from OW. Both are arena games… Like every mmorpg is a “wow clone” like every moba is a LOL clone. Get over it. the only down side to paladins, like all these games: Derp players. I hit champion rank, and when in synchronized team, GOOD outcomes. Or even if I lose, you feel like the loss was worth it…. but that is rare, 99% of time you with pure idiots. Better off not playing it.
Every moba is an Aeon of strife clone, not LOL.
you must be fun at parties…
Wow people complaining about an average game over an average game….For the Blizz fanboys, no OW didn’t did this originally. And Paladins the same. This game element already existed before them. People butthurt about OW is not GOTY or Paladins is accused for copying. Try to enjoy the game instead….
Symmetra plus zarya with a debuff and pharah like ultimate with a knockback. Well…. bit more creative?
“so its basically symmetra but with some zarya aspects except it had the uniqueness of debuffing but its still a clone because the ultimate is kind of similar to pharah but also has a knockback”. So i’m assuming any champion Paladins releases you’re going to call an Overwatch clone by mixing it with every overwatch champion you can?
Of course! for overwatch fanboys the game invented everything
I find amazing how OW fanboys soo afraid of a f2p version that they need to say Paladins copies everything
Sad
Paladins did copy overwatch. Overwatch released before paladins did and paladins been copying almost everything that overwatch has and is free 2 play. It’s just free 2 play BS to undercut blizzard.
No it didn’t release before Paladins you idiot.
I am sorry to disappoint you but you are wrong. Paladins Closed beta started November 17, 2015. Overwatch closed beta started October 27, 2015. Open beta for Paladins started September 16, 2016 and for Overwatch it was May 5, 2015. Overwatch was fully released on May 24, 2016, while Paladins is still in beta.
All lies just what a paladin fanboy would say to help a company who doesn’t know how to build games to try to kill blizzard.
Also what I forgot to mention is they released it free 2 play and copied overwatch asspects just to draw up a huge crowd. Blizzard should sue Hi Rez for copyrighting and trying to steal profits from them.
Nice trolling kid xD
i love how ppl are pissed off at my comment and jumped to the conclusion that i am a OW fanboy. Silly kids with no money.
Actually have OW, and I do enjoy the game. But I personally think paladins is better. Mainly because I like the art style and the pace of the game better. People can like one or the other or even both. It’s just personal opinion after all.
Yeah people always wanna accuse you of of thinking your a blizzard entertainment fanboy just for stating an opinion in your comment similar to the comment you posted. I had people do that to me before.
