Paladins is a game that I have played since the year 2018 in the nintendo switch, the format of the game of the game of a 5v5 hero shooter, I have always liked this kind of games.
Right now the state of the game is really deplorable, the game had an inmense loss of player online, it have has its peaks and its falls, the game is an amazing representation of its genre and it deserves more.
Paladins is a very good game, it beggining started in May 8, 2018, with Evil Mojo an internal studio of Hi-Rez studio, they launched Paladins to the Public, arriving first for Microsoft windows, PS4, and Xbox One, followed by Nintendo Switch version released on June 12, 2018. The game started with four different classes you could play as, which are Front Line

which is widely known as tanks. Damage, which were created to be the more damage dealers. Flanks, who are center in movement to get kills. And support, the helpers of the team. The first champion the new player gets is
At this moment Paladins player base has been very low, people still play it but not as before, right now according to Steam charts, the normal peak of players is about 6,000, and the all-time peak is 60,000 so the game has lost 90% of its player base. Something with a beggining has its end, and Paladins is in a downfall but the game won’t die for a long time. One factor in the downfall are new games, for example the new Marvels rivals which is a similar format as Paladins, and players might leave to try or stay in that new game.
In this chapter my friend Jason was asked to play the game for first time and here he is going to express his thoughts of the game.
His first thought when I showed him the game was that and I quote “Oh im playing Overwatch” Because Overwatch and Paladins are both a sub-genre of the shooter genre, hero shooters. Another thought he had is that the game was similar to League of Legends, but LOL is a MOBA, not very similar. This part I called it
Speaking from ignorance because always I bring up the theme of this type of games he always assosiates them to LOL because both games have abilities and powers.
Hero shooters are games based in multiple characters with distinct abilities, each one of them can do things their own way, each game based in heros has their unique character.

The origins of hero shooters can be traced back to early tactical shooters that featured class-based playable characters in multiplayer modes.
Games like Battlefield 1942 and Team Fortress Classic featured specific roles that a player could select that would come with their own unique abilities and sometimes specific weapons that were not available to the other classes. While the majority of tactical shooters were the main games that featured some form of class based mechanics, other shooters also featured the same gameplay style and had their own take on the system such as Star Wars: Battlefront & Conker: Live & Reloaded. The subgenre had a substantial rise in popularity with the announcement of Battleborn and Overwatch in 2014, with both games later releasing nearly at the same time in 2016. Battleborn, by Gearbox Software, was the first game to use “hero shooter” in their press material in September 2014.
