Devs, would it be possible to make an arcade game mode that is just like quick play, but in addition, each side spawns small/weak AI controled mobs (aka minions) that walk toward the objective, fight each other, and deal minimal damage to heros? Similar to the minions from league of legends.
Overwatch is already very moba-esque, and though I would not want this added to the main game, I think it would be very fun and interesting as an event game or even a recurring arcade game.
You could even do a mini-competitive mode for this game. (Like what was done with Lucio ball, CTF, and now 6v6 elimination)
By the way, I love these mini-comps. Keep doing them!

Idk, why in a fps game like overwatch? Just think about it.
And besides that should be a different game entirely but with overwatch characters.
Please explain why it wouldn’t work. Not being sarcastic, I just want to know you’re reasoning.
There’s no reason why it wouldn’t work. People said the same things about deathmatch and CTF. The real question is how to make it fun enough to survive as a game mode.

that’s something Titanfall did. Objective for people who can’t deal with real players but still want to be useful

^titanfall even more fps than ow
I’m just saying that how would it work and how will they alter the genre to be a moba that’s like league of legends? I mean I’m not saying it’s a bad idea but idk how it could fit with Overwatch?
not really. when you think about it it’s just like junkenstein except on a bigger map
Yes, but how would it work that in a way not too confusing and still relatable to Overwatch?
As I said in my post, it would just be an arcade game. Nothing that effects the main game.
That being said, I believe it fits nicely. It gives another aspect to think about when playing. (Keeping the minions numbers down so they don’t stack up and overwhelm you.)
Well we already got the training bots. These could be nice minions.

arcade? i mean it’s still going to be an fps. think of it as capture the flag, except of flags you have two points. so it’s also like KOTH, except there’s two hills for each team. they’d have to protect their ‘hill’ while trying to invade the enemies. then just put in mobs.
And of course the heroes.
I love the training bot idea!
well yeah, i mean who are you going to control? the mobs? hahahaha but yeah it’s certainly an interesting concept for arcade. doesn’t even have to be that big of a map since KOTH maps are small-ish. just put the ‘hills’ at the spawn point of each team then boom you got what op is asking for
Ahem, the Overwatch heroes.
But I do not think that it won’t work just because it’s an FPS. Why would it not?
??? i’m literally explaining how it would work tho.
what about them? you play as them, then there are jsut mobs on the side. it’s not like they’re going to disappear
Whoops replied wrong person. :X
