Okay yes they all have four abilities including an ultimate like a MOBA/Battleborn.

Thats a wave base game against AI. This is a better TF2
It's really hard to get excited about a Team Fortress 2 style game when TF2 stopped being cool like four years ago.
Like, the Engineer equivalent capping at 200 scrap in Overwatch was a profound moment of realization on just how creatively bankrupt Blizzard is.

Anyone else see Sarah Kerrigan in her design? I know it's by the same developers.
If I remember right, thats the same artist that worked on Firefall's concept art: http://kotaku.com/5629779/firefall-concept-art/
The issue with buying characters in a competitive multiplayer game is that it completely ruins the balance. LOL has had non stop issues with balancing heroes that perform a non standard role because if a non standard 'meta' role is viable, then every player who does not own a character who can perform that role has fewer options for playstyle. Leading to homogenization, leading to obvious tiers of power.
There are also the issues with discoverability that come from being unable to play heroes you don't own, which is the best way to figure out their weaknesses.

Monday Night Combat wasn't against AI.

Doesn't look very demanding to me.
It looks like it's using the same engine as Heroes of the Storm.
I wasn't serious either.

No it is not, Monday Night Combat was TF2 with MOBA elements.
It wasn't though.

Check out that heroes tab. Some great stuff there to get you familiar with the characters.

Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
I'm interested in trying it out. I don't think I'd actually spend money on it if they have a bunch of extra paid content. The F2P folks having such rabid competition have saturated the market to the point that I can just bounce from game to game without ever paying for anything. I haven't spent more than a dollar on anything on my iPad for a year, and if they're going to push this to the high-end gaming market, all they're going to accomplish is giving me ADD in that space as well. My wife loves it for budgetary reasons, but these people will eventually starve, because I can't be the only person who's figuring this out.
Uh, the Starcraft 2 engine?

Another TF2 is more than welcome, seeing as the current TF2 is probably way too fucking hard to get into at this point!
If that isn't true, then whatever, this has an ape with spectacles.

That happens in MOBAs as well, still neat though
Dang it. Why do I never get these memos?!
Kind of but but with MOBA style heroes in place of classes I think. On my phone right now so not too sure on all the info.
Watch them make a movie out of it.
Of course I have. This game is just a piece of something bigger and more ambitious that they salvaged. It's the equivalent of canning WoW and just letting the PVP.
If you want to play Team Fortress 3, that´s great. Not my case.
Hint: Be more respectful with other opinions.

holy crap, they based this game on the first version of titan.
There were play testers of Titan first Iterations that were saying the MMO was very similar to team fortress.
I remember reading the almost a half a decade ago. There were multiple people stating this but no one believed it.

Yep. Might as well play TF2 if Overwatch isn't bringing anything new to the genre.
I love them all. Seriously each character is totally unique.
"Where does it hurt?"
Is this going to be more like Team Fortress 2 in that there will be multiples of a class or more like a MOBA where you pick your teams and then go into the game? I'd be more interested if it was more like a MOBA in that everyone picks their champ back and forward and then the game starts.

Looks really cool. Will buy if it comes to consoles.
Christ almighty, that character comes off as a bad Deviant OC.

Uh, I didn't know that was the same, however HoTS' lighting looks like it's been improved over SC2's. This Overwatch game generally looks close to the engine HoTS uses.
If SC2 and HoTS use the same engine then sure but I'm not sure why you asked that question because if it's SC2's engine, then it's HoTS' too. lol
