It’s like Overwatch, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 all baked into a pie.

On the one hand, not a big fan of moba or purely PVP games.

On the other, I deeply dislike overwatch specifically and would like to see it dead. Maybe this would make a dent.

I never understood this attitude of wanting soooo bad a game to be dead. If you don’t like it don’t play it. Let other ppl have their fun.

Sometimes you feel like the shittier game took players from the game you’d rather be playing.

Sometimes you feel like the shittier game is kind of a knockoff, and it feels bad when that succeeds.

Sometimes a game is made by a horrible company with a history of abuse from its high ranking staff.

Maybe Overwatch beat them up and stole their lunch money.

Overwatch basically killed Battleborn when it launched, it’d be kinda ironic if Overwatch was killed by another MOBA shooter.

It’s barely a hero shooter - it’s just a MOBA

I absolutely get where you’re coming from, but to be fair Team Fortress is basically a hero shooter as well, except that there can be multiples of the same “hero” on the battlefield at the same time. Or - and I’m genuinely asking because I haven’t played “hero shooters” in that long - am I missing a core distinction of hero shooters?

TF2 is a class based team deathmatch FPS. One class, one character.

In hero shooters you have multiple characters with different abilities that make them distinct from each other, yet all can conform to a certain class type and role.

I was thinking something more in line with a narrative story-based shooter like half life. TF2 and other competitive shooter arena games were never really my thing.

Valve do what they want, not what’s flavour-of-the-month

Well, sometimes they do flavour-of-the-month, but only when they want to, not because they exclusively chase trends.
