The thing is, Blizzard isn't trying to revolutionize gaming mechanics. What Blizzard is really good at doing is taking already-existing mechanics and making a super polished version of them. That's basically what Overwatch is. They took TF2 combined it with elements from the MOBA genre and made a very smooth, polished successor to it.

They've been doing this forever. From Hearthstone to HoTS, WoW, etc. The only arguably unique game you could say they've mad has been the Diablo franchise. Other than that, they've never been in the business of making the next Minecraft.

EQ Next was going to be based on Overwatch MOBA design pretty much a straight direct copy and paste.

Overwatch is EQ Next in many ways. So if you were going to check out EQ Next combat, this is the combat system it had being used in Overwatch.

MOBA style is the future of MMO combat. City of Heroes style. etc.

Team Fortress 2 kicks shit out of Overwatch though. Not even close. Most of the people replying here have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Blizzard games. They buy the latest piece of shit.

<--- 0 Dollars spent on D3. If you can't say that you have no credibility.

Lol i have played TF2 for years and overwatch is by far better. You're either a blizzard hater or a tf2 fanboy but i can assure you, there are more people playing overwatch then there are playing tf2.

Face it, Blizz has always been overrated at best and now is nothing more than a marketable name that has been integrated into a larger, more Jewish organism.

my *****.

Played i think a month of WoW back in vanilla. Never played D3(played D2 and enjoyed it very much for a few years). Never played SC2. Tried HotS when it came out and basically its just a waterdown version of LoL so wasnt really impressed. Ive probably played maybe 100 or so matches in Hearthstone and bought the first expansion pack or whatever it was for 20 bucks for something to do. Was ok and i still play it occasionally(probably not as much now as it was my 10-15 min timekiller and now overwatch has that slot). Overwatch is just a very fun game that combines things i like(FPS and MOBA). So no probably not most of the people here have given blizzard thousands of dollars but i will give a game credit when its due and not just dismiss it because of the company it has come from.

this. It pays off really well for them most of the time.

I have about 500 hours in TF2 (mostly spent as scout and soldier) and have watched quite a bit of competitive play over the years. I prefer Overwatch 100x over. There is just SO much player freedom in how someone can approach playing every character.

Don't let the failures of the modern Diablo and WoW team dissuade you from giving this game a shot. Overwatch has that old Blizzard love ingrained in it.

Also, Lucio is basically a support scout and it's amazing.

So shiny and new? The 21 classes being mentioned as the only selling point, yet again.

To put it more bluntly, it could have the same amount of classes that TF2 has and as long as the characters and maps still had that level of freedom, it would blow TF2 the fuck out.

21 classes? wtf are you talking about, you're just hating for the sake of hating. Overwatch doesn't have any classes, its not wow.

He's trying his hardest to dumb down Overwatch so that he can attack it.
