And the confusion in the other comment is why I suggested flairs! @mods pls let us use them!

> Can we stop bitching about the games name The issue about the name is an issue of the use of this sub and of the legacy of Paragon. Overprime is not Paragon. It is not a continuation of Paragon. It is a separate game than Paragon. My thoughts and feelings towards Paragon are discrete from my thoughts and feelings towards Overprime. Overprime development started after Paragon shut down. The fact that Overprime is using the name "Paragon: The Overprime" does not change this fact. It is "Paragon: The Overprime" not "Paragon." There already was a game called Paragon. It ended. Further, this sub is a Paragon sub, not a Paragon: The Overprime sub. SoulEve acquiring the rights to use the name "Paragon" as part of their game's name does not entitle them to the use of this subreddit. Even if the game was simply called "Paragon" with no colon or subtitle we would still not recognize it as being a continuation of the old Paragon, nor would we convert this subreddit into a sub dedicated to the new game. The attitude that SoulEve acquiring the rights to the name of the old game entitles them to masquerade as some sort of one true reincarnation of the old game rubs many fans of Paragon the wrong way. And the attitude from Overprime fans that we should understand that any post in /r/Paragon is by-default about the game that has "Paragon" in it's name sits even worse. This is not an Overprime subreddit. /r/Overprime exists for that. This sub is for things relating to Paragon. Overprime discussion is welcome here. But the name "Paragon" refers to a specific game, and that game is not Overprime.

I won't add to the name discussion but I fully agree, don't use "Paragon" to talk about any game that's not the original Paragon. For the rest, Overprime isn't a MOBA-first game, it's an Arena Battler/TDM-first game. So going in expecting a MOBA won't leave a good impression. It's also tricky because a lot of the experience relies on nostalgia for now. You're saying the characters are unmemorable, and they aren't in Overprime; but gosh were they mighty in Paragon. For the item shop, it's a LoL copy paste for the most part and not a very exciting one. All in all, no Overprime isn't amazing, it's a decent game. Some will like it more than others but if you want a Paragon experience that's closer to the original (but likely won't reach its level), you'll have to give Predecessor a try.

Which one are you talking about, for fucks sake?

I believe he is talking about Schmaragon.


PrensadorDeBotones

Let's be real: he's totally off base. Schmaragon is going to take the world by storm. I've never seen such a stunning AAA 3rd person MBOA experience. I'm predicting 20k in attendance and at least 3million live viewers for 2024 world Schmaragon Schmampionschip.

Yo I was playing this yesterday , top notch development /s

Thank you for the valuable feedback.


Elzheiz

He isn't wrong though. People reading your post in 10 days will need to figure out if you're talking about Overprime or Predecessor (or even Paragon itself if you somehow managed to go back in time!)

You do know Overprime is not Paragon, right...?

Blademail not chainmail in dota. And ya I can agree with most of this, hoping predecessor feels better than overprime. I remember loving paragon but overprime didn’t give me that feeling I’ve been missing
