When Overwatch was released, I threw out the idea that whenever Blizzard takes on a established genre or idea they kind of make it their own. And in the process seem just-about 100% Blizzard Original. So it's no surprise that Hi-Rez Studios' hero shooter Paladins looks and feels a lot like Overwatch. Which itself looks and feels like a mixture of things. Paladins though is different enough. For one its free-to-play like the studios' other mega-hit SMITE, and it's available on Steam right now.

And in the latest Paladins update, a new champion Mal'Damba, has been introduced. A cool looking snake-wielding sorcerer thing. Check out Mal'Damba in action below.
