It’s not better per sè, as both games are too different from each other to be legitimately compared. But I do really enjoy Paladins, it’s a good game to play when you’ve had enough of the absolute horseshit Overwatch can be at times.
I do like paladins, as I personally find it alot easier I think the hit boxes are larger in there. So when I get extremely tilted on overwatch I can switch to paladins to chill myself the fuck out.
I also play it with friends that don't like overwatch. I do really like some of their championd like Jenos and Lian they wouldn't suit a game like overwatch but they are so fun to play.
Overall I'd say overwatch is the better game though. The community is as bad as each other with toxicity.
