History Memes / Paladins

* WilloQuarterBot[[labelnote:Explanation]]This was the name of a now-defunct bot that trawled the /r/Paladins subreddit for mis-spellings of "Willo", and making a comment saying: ''"[[IfIHadANickel If I had a quarter]] for every time someone misspelled Willo, I would have [Insert total here]"''. The duties of collecting quarters for Willo mis-spellings are now given to PaladinsRobot.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/806217034941595729/905070816398553108/unknown.png Why?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Bounty Store Bot on the Paladins Discord listed Willo's "Bluebell" skin as having a Bounty Coin value of "why". This became a bit of a meme on that Discord, and other associated servers, with people joking the bot had become self-aware.[[/labelnote]]

* Tiberius is often compared to other feline characters such as [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Tai Lung, Tigress]], Tony the Tiger, or [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Tigger]].

!!Please add entries in the following format:
* The meme. [=[[=]labelnote:Explanation[=]]=]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[=[[/=]labelnote[=]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]
** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.

* "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona":[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players frequently mishear "Sun de Wekono!"; Mal'Damba's ultimate voice line, as "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona". Given how ''bizarre'' the pronunciation is for the line, as well as the fact that the last "o" in Wekono is silent, it was inevitable this would give way to MemeticMutation after folks kept mishearing it. Becoming an AscendedMeme with Patch 4.7, where an [=LTM=] was named "Sunday We Gonna"; and has you in a Team Deathmatch against other Mal'Damba players.[[/labelnote]]

** '''[[WhoDares "YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA!?"]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Makoa's ultimate quote, that has him bellow out a challenge to kill him. Often used (completely unaltered) on images showing pissed off turtles (not necessarily Makoa) like a turtle nipping a mans' hand in a gif, or if there's a new champion revealed, "Oh that's cool, but '''CAN THEY CHALLENGE MAKOA!?'''". Became an AscendedMeme in 2016 with the release of Terminus, the hulking zombie wielding an enormous battle-axe, where his kill taunt toward Makoa [[https://paladins.gamepedia.com/media/paladins.gamepedia.com/1/12/Lazarus_TR_Taunt_Directed_Makoa_1.ogg references this meme]].[[/labelnote]]

** "Piss! Then shred 'til nothing's left!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mishearing Caspian's ultimmate line due to the voiceline not putting much emphasis into "erce", but he's actually saying "Pierce." Due to the hilarity of this, the fandom had a field day with it, and comparisons with [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Sniper]] naturally came into existence.

** ''"Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Woo hoo!"''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players spamming the command "Woo hoo" with the default announcer voice pack active, which is literally the default announcer giving a stoic ''"Woo hoo"''. It was done usually to convey sarcasm at a poorly-thought out situation, and was an extremely common command to spam. The default VGS announcer pack was made redundant in Update 3.01 (when all voice packs became free), and was removed entirely in the 3.02 patch, severely crippling the meme, which is now limited to certain characters instead as a way to annoy players, like Grohk and his incredibly spammable "WHEEeeeEEeeeeEEE!".[[/labelnote]]

* Tiberius is often compared to other feline characters such as [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Tai Lung]], Tony the Tiger, or [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Tigger]].

** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Paladins variation of constantly calling for a healer, which used the VGS command of VHS (or VE in the new VGS, though this new variant never caught on in the same way, potentially due to nostalgia and / or being a bit less spammable). Like with any other game with a healing command, it became a meme [[BrokenRecord simply due to repetition]].[[/labelnote]]

** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Paladins variation of constantly calling for a healer, which used the VGS command of VHS (or VE in the new VGS, though that comes with deliberate enforced limits, so spamming this is less common). Like with any other game with a healing command, it became a meme [[BrokenRecord simply due to repetition]].[[/labelnote]]

** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]Paladins variation of constantly calling for a healer, which used the VGS command of VHS (or VE in the new VGS, but this variant never caught on in the same way). Like with any other game with this kind of command, it became a meme [[BrokenRecord simply due to repetition]].[[/labelnote]]

* Replacing "can" with "Khan"[[labelnote:Explanation]]This was used as a pun, usually in tandem with the Makoa challenge meme; ''"Yes, but ''Khan'' he challenge Makoa?"''. This got amplified with the release of Ameri-Khan, with horrible renamings of countries to fit the "Khan" naming scheme, such as '''Khan'''ada.[[/labelnote]]

** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]Paladins variation of constantly calling for a healer, which used the VGS command of VHS (or VE in the new VGS, but it cannot be spammed on new VGS due to having a 35%-or-below hp cutoff). Like with any other game that has this kind of command, it became a meme [[BrokenRecord simply due to repetition]].[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://i.redd.it/q08xb5zit5531.jpg Jenos looking at his hands]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An image of Jenos from Io's teaser immediately became a meme because of [[ContemplatingYourHands how silly it looked]]. It's either used to show frustration, or weighing two mutually exclusive choices. Became an AscendedMeme with the January 2020 Community Battle Pass, where it was one of the unlockable sprays.[[/labelnote]]

** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]Paladins variation of constantly calling for a healer, which used the VGS command of VHS.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://i.redd.it/q08xb5zit5531.jpg Jenos looking at his hands]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An image of Jenos from Io's teaser immediately became a meme because of [[ContemplatingYourHands how silly it looked.]] It's either used to show loss of direction, or weighing two mutually exclusive choices. Became an AscendedMeme with the January 2020 Community Battle Pass, where it was one of the unlockable sprays.[[/labelnote]]

** "Nerf Skye"[[labelnote:Explanation]]At the start of the open beta, this was a rallying cry. Skye's ultimate was seen as overpowered because its powerful damage lacked damage dropoff, meaning it would do full damage even if you were barely in its radius. This led to players chanting the phrase "Nerf Skye" nonstop in the forums and livestreams. The meme died when it was nerfed, but debates still rage about whether or not Skye's ultimate is STILL too overpowered.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/paladins_gamepedia/8/81/Flak_Skin05_TR_HealedByTeammate_2.ogg "Was That Herbal?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Ska'Drin Ash from Battle Pass 10 has this as one of her voice lines for when she's being healed by someone. [[BrokenRecord And it plays]] '''[[BrokenRecord very]]''' [[BrokenRecord frequently]] as it's an auto-callout than you cannot control. It's also a very unique line in that rather than Ash being thankful to the healer like she is in other skins, even like other characters, "Was that Herbal?" is said in a questioning manner that will get on the players nerves quite quickly (and everyone near you, as they hear the line too.)[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/3/36/Saati_Dead_Ringer_Decoy_2.ogg "You must be this tall to die!"]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line said by Saati's deployable, which is a cardboard cut-out of Saati that shoots at you if you get too close. However, it inspired complaining about how loud the line is, even if you're nowhere near it, as well as the line being too long considering the amount of times you have to hear it. Much like Ska'Drin Ash's "Was that Herbal?" line, this line also became a meme due to [[WelcomeToCorneria sheer repetition]].[[/labelnote]]
* "NO MAN CAN CONTROL RAUM!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Raum's BadassBoast from his teaser trailer has been joked about, since if you play as him, you're technically controlling him. And he specifically says "no ''[[NoManOfWomanBorn man]]'' can control Raum". As it turns out, as of his release, the characters with {{Percent Damage Attack}}s, his biggest weakness, are all female. So no man can control Raum, but women can.[[/labelnote]]
* "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona":[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players frequently mishear "Sun de Wekono!"; Mal'Damba's ultimate voice line, as "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona". Given how ''bizaare'' the pronunciation is for the line, as well as the fact that the last "o" in Wekono is silent, it was inevitable this would give way to MemeticMutation after folks kept mishearing it. Became an AscendedMeme with Patch 4.7, where an [=LTM=] was named "Sunday We Gonna"; and has you in a Team Deathmatch against other Mal'Damba players.[[/labelnote]]

** '''[[WhoDares "YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA!?"]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]This is Makoa's Ultimate quote, that has him bellow out a challenge to kill him. Often used (completely unaltered) on images showing pissed off turtles (not necessarily Makoa) like a turtle nipping a mans' hand in a gif, or if there's a new champion revealed, conversations often go like; "Oh that's cool, but '''CAN THEY CHALLENGE MAKOA!?'''". Became an AscendedMeme in 2016 with the release of Terminus, the hulking zombie wielding an enormous battle-axe, where his kill taunt toward Makoa [[https://paladins.gamepedia.com/media/paladins.gamepedia.com/1/12/Lazarus_TR_Taunt_Directed_Makoa_1.ogg references theis meme]].[[/labelnote]]

** "Gays into the Abyss!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Seris' ultimate casting line is "Gaze into the Abyss", but also sounds like "Gays into the Abyss" due to her elongated pronunciation of the phrase (made worse by other skin voice packs). This has the effect of jokingly saying that Seris is homophobic, even if she ultimately has no particular quirks against homosexuals.[[/labelnote]]
** "Step into the light... in Paris!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Jenos' ult line makes people think he sends them to Paris to be killed, instead of into the light.[[/labelnote]]
** "Can you escape the law....No one escapes the LAW."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Someone asks if somebody can escape the law, only for Lex to confirm that, in fact, "No one escapes the LAW." Talus' reveal trailer references the meme when Talus asks Barik if he's "ever escaped the law?"[[/labelnote]]
** "Bend over!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mishearing Buck saying "Up and over!" while leaping due to how softly he says "up" while shouting the rest. People take it to mean how screwed enemies are when he hops in. Became somehwat of an AscendedMeme when [[https://twitter.com/PaladinsGame/status/1435685740252389382/photo/1 the Paladins Twitter referenced the meme.]][[/labelnote]]

** '''''"SINNER!"'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mishearing Raum's ultimate line as this is pretty common. He's actually saying "Shatter!".[[/labelnote]]

** ''"Woo hoo!, Woo hoo!, Woo hoo!"''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players spamming the command "Woo Hoo" with the default announcer voice pack active, which is literally the default announcer giving a stoic ''"Woo hoo!"''. It was done usually to convey sarcasm at a poorly-thought out situation (when your team pushes to the point and everyone dies, for example), and was an extremely common command to spam. The default VGS announcer pack was made redundant in Update 3.01 (when all voice packs became free), and was removed entirely in the 3.02 patch, severely crippling the meme, which is now limited to certain characters instead as a way to annoy players, like Grohk and his incredibly spammable "WHEEeeeEEeeeeEEE!".[[/labelnote]]
** Good Luck, Have Fun![[labelnote:Explanation]]These are two seperate commands in Legacy VGS (VVGL and VVGF) that are constantly used by players at the start of each round. This meme is oddly enforced when using New VGS, as these two commands have merged into one context-sensitive command (VCQQ), with the latter voice line never playing until the former voice line has done so.[[/labelnote]]
** You Rock, Cancel That![[labelnote:Explanation]]A permutation from VideoGame/{{SMITE}}'s VGS, Two Commands in the VGS (VER and VVX in Legacy, VCER and VCRF in New VGS) that sarcastically calls out a particular players' incompetence, or failed team plan.[[/labelnote]]
** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]A permutation of Overwatch's "I NEED HEALING" meme, VHS is the legacy VGS keyboard command for...well... "I need healing!". The "I need healing!" meme in general spread from OW (which itself is a permutation of spamming "E" in [=TF2=]), wherein it's associated with shitty players who demand they have a pocket support or just generally spamming the command. The meme was intentionally removed to be less spammy on the New VGS (supports everywhere rejoice!), as the command for it; VE, is now context-sensitive with the "Help" command, with it not activating when you're dead (which is when lots of players spammed it), and the "Need Healing" command will not work if you're a healer champion, or unless you are at )or below) 40% health to further limit the spam.[[/labelnote]]
** Spamming "Cancel That!" in a match, most often during the now-removed Top Play[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another permutation from VideoGame/{{SMITE}}'s VGS system, in which players originally abused the "Cancel That" command to disapprove of something that they don't like (a plan, a person, it varies on context). It was often abused most during Top Play, to show disapproval of a person getting to be in it. When Patch 3.02 removed Top Play, it limited the meme to mid-match use (as intended).[[/labelnote]]
** "Did You Freeze.... or burn?" - Yes! [[labelnote:Explanation]] If Imani got Top Play, she will quote this to the rest of the players. In response, players tend to answer with a MathematiciansAnswer of Yes (which could refer to either freezing or burning). When Top Play was removed, the meme died with it.[[/labelnote]]

* Horse Spinning[[labelnote:Explanation]] Forcibly mounting up at the start of the round lets you ride around on your mount early and... not much else. A very easy way to annoy players/ show excitement for the upcoming match is to repeatedly press W,D,S and A in that order and make the horse spin about. You can't do it on the Vehicle Mounts due to the differing control schemes, but you can do a very similar thing with roaming emotes, like Pepper Step or Cutting Shapes.[[/labelnote]]

* Just like Overwatch, dying mid-ultimate and spamming death screams (in this case, death quotes) is a given.
* "Overwatch for poor people"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Since ''Paladins'' is free-to-play and has superficial similarities to ''Overwatch'' (which normally costs $20+), detractors of Paladins have used this quote as an insult towards the game and the fanbase. Some Paladins fans [[InsultBackfire take it as a compliment]].[[/labelnote]]
* "Chinese Overwatch"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Detractors disparagingly (or jokingly) referring to Paladins as this, in honor of China's reputation for making ShoddyKnockoffProduct video games.[[note]]Funny enough, an actual Chinese Overwatch clone popped up not too far after Paladins began open beta.[[/note]][[/labelnote]]
* Comparing Overwatch and Paladins[[labelnote:Explanation]]It was, at first, played completely straight and gave both fandoms undying amounts of grief, and most of the accusations flooded in at the start of open beta. As time went on, mocking the comparisons made as the furor died down became more popular as open beta went on, usually in the form of "OMG, PALADINS AND OVERWATCH BOTH HAVE [incredibly mundane thing, such as textures/animations/guns], WHAT A RIPOFF".[[/labelnote]]
* Applying Overwatch memes to characters with similar themes and/or roles, such as Zhin (sword-wielding fast-mobility damage flanker) getting mobility-focused-sword-wielding Genji's "I NEED HEALING" and MADA MADA jokes (This is later on transferred to Koga, who's also a speedy wall-climbing ninja and actually more similar to Genji than Zhin was).

* Booby and booty shooters[[labelnote:Explanation]]A comparison between Paladins and Overwatch, with ''Paladins'' having a number of busty female champions, and ''Overwatch'' having a number of female heroes with nice backsides, which lead to jokes about the former being a booby shooter and the latter being a booty shooter get passed around.[[/labelnote]]
* Maeve has no breasts[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players like to think that Maeve (and sometimes Willo and Evie) have ACupAngst and are jealous of their busty teammates, like Skye and Inara. The jokes relating this meme went into overdrive after Maeve's Demonette skin was released, which is [[https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/paladins_gamepedia/2/22/Maeve_Champion_Skin_Demonette.png?version=c1111837b5d8d36622e8134ab567f446 scantily-clad]], has an ImpossiblyLowNeckline, and far more prominent breasts than Maeve's basic appearance.[[/labelnote]]
* "LORE!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Back when the game [[NoPlotNoProblem lacked lore]], the fanbase was really hungry for any kind of lore and any piece of lore they could find was met with the "LORE!" rallying cry.[[/labelnote]]
* [=ThunderBrush=] and edgy spiky skins.[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Paladins got a new Art Director on April 2018, some people inevitably had misgivings on the differences this let to, such as the new splash arts intended to all have a a similar artstyle to replace previous placeholder art or art created from Paladins' Chinese version...and that proportionately too many of the skins released under him had a DarkIsEvil theme and/or [[SpikesOfVillainy lots of spikes]]. Became an AscendedMeme during [[https://youtu.be/ecUFPwr5cE0?t=45 a preview of the plans for Paladins in 2019]].[[/labelnote]]
* "Flank Pip"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A very popular joke is to call Pip a Flank champion instead of a Support champion because of his high agility and a power that's used to escape when used right (There's even [[https://i.redd.it/hb7d11vzes921.png a chart]] proving that Pip is objectively better than Buck, an actual Flank Champion, in nearly every way).People also like to portray Pip as actually believing he's a flanker, forgetting that he can heal, and being confused when his teammates ask him for healing. The Goddess Lian voice Pack makes reference to this as one of her jokes:

* Fans have noticed Viktor [[RussianGuySuffersMost tends to die]] when he shows up in a champion teaser. Even when he doesn't appear, fans assume that the featured champion is going to kill him offscreen. Strix's champion teaser threw people when Viktor appears... and doesn't die at all.
* The Prosperous Makoa skin is a goofy plush dog that looks very similar to the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Ugandan Knuckles]] meme. Cue Makoa players asking people if they "[[https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/26952238_2021968181150893_9176604917768556504_o.jpg?oh=4c76e9cf8e86093a087759fc9c533dc5&oe=5AF12AE8 know de wey]]".

* Replacing "can" with "Khan"[[labelnote:Explanation]]This was used as a pun, usually in tandem with the Makoa challenge meme; ''"Yes, but ''Khan'' he challenges Makoa?"''. This got amplified with the release of Ameri-Khan, with horrible renamings of countries to fit the "Khan" naming scheme, such as '''Khan'''ada.[[/labelnote]]
* '''”[[IncomingHam Behold, the Dragon’s FURY!]]”'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Drogoz’s ult is widely feared by frontliners, thanks to the fact that it deals [[OneHitKill 100% of the target’s health]] in damage. Because he’s killing you with a [[MegatonPunch single right hook]], comparisons to [[WebComic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] have also been made.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://i.redd.it/q08xb5zit5531.jpg Jenos looking at his hands]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An image of Jenos from Io's teaser, which was meant to show a MyGodWhatHaveIDone expression, but immediately became a meme format because of [[ContemplatingYourHands how silly it looked.]] It's either used to show frustration, or weighing two mutually exclusive choices. Became an AscendedMeme with the January 2020 Community Battle Pass, where it's one of the unlockable sprays.[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4bzee2 Io's splash art]] quickly became the subject of many jokes due to being OffModel compared to how she looks in-game. Fortunately, she got better-looking art in the Pirate's Treasure patch.

* Make Merman Jenos! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the skins added in the Pirate Battle Pass was Mermaid Ying, which many people found disappointing as Ying had already gotten a skin in the Street Style event, which was fairly recently at that time, and was also lambasted for being yet-another-{{Fanservice}}-heavy skin for a female character (Something Ying isn't exactly short on, in fact, she has zero noj-fanservice skins). Someone suggested that Jenos should have gotten a merfolk skin instead, and the idea immediately became extremely popular, to the point that even Evil Mojo staff acknowledged it, and [[https://twitter.com/ThunderBrush/status/1199457428527570948 Thunderbrush himself drew it]]. The skin finally became official with the Radiant Stars update adding Mernos Jenos[[/labelnote]]

* Inara Sandwich [[labelnote:Explanation]]Coined by a developer on the Patch Preview for Update 3.01, Inara's talent; "Tremors" was added to allow for two walls to be built instead of one, which lead to the inevitable nickname "Inara Sandwich" for when you place two walls directly on either side to ''sandwich'' in Inara.[[/labelnote]]
* Rei holding [[https://twitter.com/TiberiusWeapons/status/1407383876968796160 "The Book of Truth"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone of the meme of the same name. Rei's teaser trailer has finding a book while fighting of Yagorath, and when she finds it, they triumphantly hold it up in the air.[[/labelnote]]
* C[[JokeOfTheButt ***]]ie [[labelnote:Explanation]]The profanity filter in the game is notorious for [[ScunthorpeProblem over-blocking words]], even if they're not offensive. Included in the block list is "Cassie", as it has the word "ass" in there, and was therefore [[DidNotThinkThisThrough treated as an expletive]]. It became a bit of a meme in the community because of how funny it was the game was blocking '''a champion name!'''. Patch 4.6 fixed a bunch of words, and "Cassie" was one of those words, and so this specific meme died, but it continues on as the aforementioned filter still blocks reasonable words all the time.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/806217034941595729/905070816398553108/unknown.png Why?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Bounty Store Bot on the Paladins Discord listed Willo's "bluebell" skin as having a Bounty Coin value of "why". This became a bit of a meme on that discord, and other associated servers, with people joking the bot had become self-aware.[[/labelnote]]

* "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona":[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players mishear "Sun de Wekono!" as "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona". Given how ''bizaare'' the pronunciation is for the line; and the fact the last "o" in Wekono is silent, this is pretty justified on the players' end for mishearing it. Became an AscendedMeme with Patch 4.7, where an [=LTM=] was named "Sunday We Gonna"; and has you in a Team Deathmatch against other Mal'Damba players, where all abilities do damage over time.[[/labelnote]]

** ''"Woo hoo!, Woo hoo!, Woo hoo!"''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players spamming the command "Woo Hoo" with the default announcer voice pack active, which is literally the default announcer giving a stoic ''"Woo hoo!"''. It was done usually to convey sarcasm at a poorly-thought out situation (when your team pushes to the point and everyone dies, for example). The default VGS announcer pack was made redundant in Update 3.01 (when all voice packs became free), and was removed entirely in the 3.02 patch, severely crippling the meme. The meme is now limited to certain characters instead as a way to annoy players, like Grohk and his incredibly spammable "WHEEEE!".[[/labelnote]]
** Good Luck, Have Fun![[labelnote:Explanation]]Two commands in Old VGS (VVGL and VVGF) that were constantly used at the start of each round. Oddly enforced in New VGS, as these two commands have merged into one context-sensitive command (VCQQ), with the latter voice line never playing until the former voice line has done so.[[/labelnote]]

** VHS VHS VHS[[labelnote:Explanation]]A permutation of Overwatch's "I NEED HEALING" meme, VHS is the legacy VGS keyboard command for...well... "I need healing!". The "I need healing!" meme in general spread from OW (which itself is a permutation of spamming "E" in [=TF2=]), wherein it's associated with shitty players who demand they have a pocket support or just generally spamming the command. The meme was intentionally nerfed to be less spammy on the New VGS (supports everywhere rejoice!), as the command for it; VE, is now context-sensitive with the "Help" command, with it not activating when you're dead, and the "Need Healing" command will not work if you're a healer champion, or unless you are at or below 40% health.[[/labelnote]]
** Spamming "Cancel That!" in a match, most often during Top Play[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another permutation from VideoGame/{{SMITE}}'s VGS system, in which players originally abused the "Cancel That" command to disapprove of something that they don't like (a plan, a person, it varies on context). It was often abused most during Top Play, to show disapproval of a person getting to be in it. When Patch 3.02 removed Top Play, it limited the meme to mid-match use (as intended).[[/labelnote]]

* ''[[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/3/36/Saati_Dead_Ringer_Decoy_2.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20210824184910 "You must be this tall to die!"]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line said by Saati's deployable, which is a cardboard cut-out of Saati that shoots at you if you get too close. However, it inspired complaining about how loud the line is, even if you're nowhere near it, as well as the line being too long considering the amount of times you have to hear it. Much like Ska'Drin Ash's "Was that Herbal?" line, this line also became a meme due to [[WelcomeToCorneria sheer repetition]].[[/labelnote]]

* "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona":[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players mishear "Sun de Wekono!" as "Sunday We Gonna" or "Sunday Wekona". Given how bizaare the pronunciation is sounds; and the fact the last "o" in Wekono is silent, this is pretty justified. Became an AscendedMeme with Patch 4.7, where an [=LTM=] was named "Sunday We Gonna"; and has you in a Team Deathmatch against other Mal'Damba players, where all abilities do damage over time.[[/labelnote]]

** '''[[WhoDares "YOU CHALLENGE MAKOA!?"]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]This is Makoa's Ultimate quote, with the quote (completely unaltered) being put on images showing pissed off turtles (not necessarily Makoa). Or a turtle taking a bite out of some man. Or if there's a new guy coming, it's usually greeted with somewhere along the line of "Oh that's cute, but '''CAN THEY CHALLENGE MAKOA!?'''"[[/labelnote]]
*** "Oh wait, he ''can''!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Terminus, the hulking zombie wielding an enormous battle-axe, was an instant hit with the playerbase, to the point where people started asking if he could challenge Makoa... only to realize that he really can. Humorously, his kill taunt towards Makoa [[https://paladins.gamepedia.com/media/paladins.gamepedia.com/1/12/Lazarus_TR_Taunt_Directed_Makoa_1.ogg references the challenge meme]].[[/labelnote]]

** "Oonga!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mishearing Tiberius's ultimate line due to his heavy French accent. He's actually saying "En garde!"[[/labelnote]]

* "NO MAN CAN CONTROL RAUM!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Raum's BadassBoast from his teaser trailer has been joked about, since if you play as him, you're technically controlling him. And he specifically says "no ''[[NoManOfWomanBorn man]]'' can control Raum". As it turns out, as of his release, the characters with {{Percent Damage Attack}}s, his biggest weakness, are all female. So no man can control Raum, but women can.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/paladins_gamepedia/8/81/Flak_Skin05_TR_HealedByTeammate_2.ogg "Was That Herbal?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Ska'Drin[=/=] Scorned Ash from Battle Pass 10 has this as one of her voice lines for when she's being healed by someone. [[BrokenRecord And it plays]] '''[[BrokenRecord very]]''' [[BrokenRecord frequently]] as it's an auto-callout than you cannot control. It's also a very unique line in that rather than Ash being thankful to the healer like she is in other skins, even like other characters, "Was that Herbal?" is said in a questioning manner that will get on the players nerves quite quickly (and everyone near you, as they hear the line too.)[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/806217034941595729/905070816398553108/unknown.png Why?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Bounty Store Bot on the Paladins Discord listed willo's "bluebell" skin as having a Bounty Coin value of "why". This became a bit of a meme on that discord, and other associated servers, with people joking it had become self-aware.[[/labelnote]]

** "Gays into the Abyss!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Seris' ultimate casting line is "Gaze into the Abyss", but also sounds like "Gays into the Abyss" due to her elongated pronunciation of the phrase (made worse by other skin voice packs).[[/labelnote]]
