Paladins is a free-to-play team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game released in open beta on 16 September 2016 as an early access product by Hi-Rez Studios.
It's a first person shooter with an arena feel to it. There are several characters, and they all fit into 4 specific roles.

Pros
Pro You can customize characters to fit your particular play style
Paladins has a system in place called "Card Mastery." Essentially, a player can spend their gold (or gems, if you choose to put money into it) on cards which will buff your character in specific ways in-game. These cards can radically change how characters are played, even allowing them to fit other roles in some situations.
There are also "Burn Cards," which allow the player to make themselves stronger or even counteract opponents' strategies. These are limited in used, but very powerful.
Cons
Con Occasionally toxic team members
The community can be super chill at times, but just like any team-based game, there will always be someone on your team (usually a dmg) that thinks they are better than everyone in the game and wants to tell you what to do and where to go as if they are the team leader just for more kills.
Con The most recent patch makes it feel a little bit pay-to-win
With the recent patch, gold prices shot up on characters and cards, but the rewards you get for playing did not. Because of that, the gems you can buy with real money are simply the easiest option, even for people with a lot of play time.

Con Very toxic community
I have been playing this for 1k hours and I love the characters and their abilities but the community makes it unplayable, you sure as hell can't play it on your own. It's one of many games where you'd need friends to play with for it to be enjoyable.
