Fair enough

Also, Overwatch is a moba, not a FPS.

Isn't MOBA an RTS sub-genre whereas FPS is clearly what Overwatch is?

Overwatch is undoubtedly a FPS. It's definitely mobaesque tho. You also have to remember most MOBA's have creeps, isometric viewpoint, etc.

MOBA just means multiplayer online battle arena.. RTS would be a sub-genre of MOBA if anything.. I dont see how a game that has a bunch of heroes who don't shoot can be labeled a first person SHOOTER.

Because it's in first person and the basic mechanic of the game is shooting. Some characters have takes on this but it's a game based around being a shooter. And since when have MOBA's evolved to be first person? ****ing autistic.

I don't think youre very aware of how the classification MOBA is commonly used... it's been breaking away from the DOTA/LOL mold for a while now.

I can concede it's a MOBA and also a FPS, but I'm not conceding that it's not a MOBA.

Honestly interested but what MOBAs aren't like LoL? Is it not yet really a "sub-genre" yet?

SMITE, Battlerite, MXM, Awesomenauts, HoTS? Also, the Overwatch clones that call themselves MOBAs.

Awesomenauts? Really? There's no way it's even considered problematic for me to call the developers faggots unless it really is just that awesome.
