Why is there even a discussion about what genre OW belongs to?

MOBA? FPS?

Overwatch devs already classified this as a team-based FPS. There is NO argument.

Even just looking at what this game has, there’s barely anything that’s shared with MOBA.

Heroes with skills? Please, OW didn’t take that from ANY MOBA. It took it from Blizzard’s own game - Warcraft 3, where the hero units all have a few special abilities and one ultimate. Btw, this game also answers why transformation ults can’t be stun-canceled while channeling can.

The only reason people argue “it’s more like MOBA than your CoD FPS” is because those people don’t want aim skill to be a thing. Don’t want this SHOOTERS game to put more emphasis on aim skill. You’re not fooling anyone with your disingenuity.

A MOBA god whoi’s crap at FPS vs an FPS who’s crap at MOBA. Put them both in this game. Who’s gonna learn faster, play better?

Answer: not the moba god.

Nobody is calling it a Moba. Everyone knows that it’s a FPS, but it has Moba elements and isn’t a “pure” Shooter.

Because some people want to argue over petty little things.
