I always thought the same thing since the demos. They are both hero shooters. But, Overwatch is more like Team Fortress 2 in execution. Whereas, Battleborn is more like SMITE or even Paragon. (first person versions of more traditional MOBA like LoL and DOTA) Overwatch feels more like traditional PvP that we have been used to. Battleborn is more like the newer PvP in MOBA that requires a different approach. (taking out towers, minions, inhibitors, etc.) I think that's part of the reason that people didn't get Battleborn. First, they expected something like Borderlands. Then, they expected something more traditional. When they got a MOBA (kind of like SMITE), they didn't understand it or like it.

In the end, what sticks out is what you said. "Hero shooters" to the one that has more polish and easy pick up and play go the spoils. I'm in the top 500 on overwatch, but battleborn is a different beast when it comes to team comps.

I Miss the Original Overwatch

Blizzard's blending of the FPS and MOBA was a masterpiece of design that met its end too soon.

I miss 6v6, lootboxes and an actual player level. I used to look forward to Junkenstein's Revenge at Halloween and the Christmas event cause of all the cool cosmetics you could earn. I'd play it every day. Now you play it for an hour, earn some stupid charm, and you're done. No reason to play anymore.

RIP OW2 is trash. My friends stopped playing it like we used to the first one every Friday night.

smoothdude487d ago

this. loved overwatch 1. 2 is no fun. there is lots to play… find something you like.

I'd never thought I would say this but the loot boxes in Overwatch wasn't so bad compared to what it is now.

GoodGuy09487d ago

I remember those epic dreamworks-like CGIs. I wasn't a fan at all but man, I knew it was a rediculously huge game. OW2 I've seen...nothing, died maybe after a week.

OW2 is a disaster. All these years to make the game 5v5….? And they scrapped PvE? The game just sucks man zero fun.
