Overwatch vs Battleborn. Which will be better?
I feel Battleborn should be better because it has more variety and a campaign. Overwatch could be good because on the ground of the massive amount of blizzard geeks keeping the amount of people in the game alive.
These two game's won't last two years.
>>334855912
Do they need to? I don't know about you, but I don't need 2 years to enjoy a game.
Overwatch will be better because it isnt an assfaggot
Overwatch has mother fucking robots. That's all I've wanted in a fps since the glory days. No faggy armor suits, just 100% ass kicking robot
>>334855780
Tf2
>>334856171
Battleborn has robots too though.
One is made by a household name and one is a literally who, what do you think.
>>334855780
wut aboot paladins anun ?
Its Blizzard (WOW creators) vs Gearbox (borderland creators.) Basically its all down to marketing which Blizzard is doing well.
Does anyone know if Overwatch has a talent tree like battleborn?
>>334856634
no talent trees anon
>>334856385
F2P and all the gameplay I've seen looks real fucking bad. I wanted to like it but jesus
Having played both(but only for a couple of days)
Overwatch is better, by far. Battleborn is trying way to hard to be a moba, in a game format that sucks as a "moba".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PVYZGOJrH4
>>334856634
Overwatch doesn't have any RPG elements. The only things you can unlock and carry over are skins and cosmetic stuff.
Is Battleborn F2P?
If so, Overwatch will be better, but deader. While Battleborn will be worse, but actually has a decent player base.
battle born is a first person MOBA by Gearbox with a shitty co-op mode tacked on.
overwatch is a gimmicky TF2 clone by Blizzard with dlc skins and waifu spam

Sixty dollars with an obligatory season pass. Though new characters are free. I think the pass only gives you PvE content.

Good goyim
>>334855780
If I absolutely have to choose between the two, I'd say Overwatch since I find their characters more appealing than Battleborn.
Probably won't play either though unless Overwatch is really a smash hit in the first month.

Surprisingly, I liked Battleborn better. The dialog is what won it.
Also I'm not a huge fan of the Pixar artstyle in Overwatch.

>>334855780
The two games are incomparable. The only people doing so are retards who've only played or watched one.
Overwatch is closer to TF2. A class-based FPS.
Battleborn is closer to Monday Night Combat (not the shitty sequel). An FPS with MOBA elements (creeps, towers, in-match leveling, etc.)
Why Battleborn is $60 I'll never know. It doesn't have enough content to warrant that (the single player is basically borderlands without the random gun generation to keep things at least a little interesting).
Nonetheless I've got it pre-ordered on a keyseller for 45% cheaper than retail because I played 20 hours over the weekend and loved every minute of it.
>>334857312
Season pass gives you:
>Immediate access to new characters (otherwise you have to level up or complete a challenge to unlock them like every other character
>Campaign missions
>Skins
>>334858034
>liking gearbox dialogue
Oh my god
>>334857918
Yes the fact that it's from the Diablo 3 people makes me slightly nervous.
>>334858146
The dialog is pretty great, especially when playing as ISIC.
>"Last words recorded as: 'I DIED LIKE A LITTLE BITCH'"
Played both during the beta weekend. Overwatch has more lasting appeal, Battleborn got tedious after the first couple of games. Battleborn is just too busy visually. So much shit takes up the screen.
I was surprised by the shit I could pull off in Overwatch. Pharah can actually rocket jump.
Battleborn does seems to have a lot more game modes.
Battleborn is going to bomb.
I don't care about Overwatch (battle.net lol).
completely different
battleborn is borderlands in a new title
overwatch is tf2 pixar'd
>>334858425
Watching the videos of Battleborn irritates the fuck out of me. Every video I've seen is tunnel consolefag FOV, huge ass toy guns taking up half your screen, and then the rest is covered with the fucking UI. It looks horrible.
>>334857106
tf2?
It's smart that Overwatch is $40. Until Activision-Blizzard goes full Activision-Blizzard (likely with paid expansions), that's a pretty good deal.
>Playing 2016 "hero shooters"
Nah man nah
>>334858717
They've already stated that future characters and maps will be free. The only microtransactions are loot boxes, but you get those from leveling up.
>>334858717
I hope they just stick with the skin shit for the tf2 and csgo autists
Hopefully it's enough
Stop comparing the two games for fucks sake
They are nothing alike
>>334857241
Overwatch is $40 on PC, if you don't want the overpriced "Origins Edition". That $40 version MIGHT be on digital platforms on consoles, they haven't said.
>Gearbox
>>334857582
Oh yes, the spunky teenage girl who links like a small adult because it designed by the same people who designed Tiny Tina.
>>334858923
I'm hugely sceptical. It's fucking Blizzard, plus Activision push everything they can to get more revenue. I bet you there's a paid expansion, if not an outright sequel, sooner rather than later.

>>334859282

>>334859257
They've been doing different business models with all of their games. Who knows.
>>334855780
Overwatch is much more attractive to me, it's much closer to being a "pure" MP competitive shooter, I've played enough DotA years ago to never want to touch anything inspired by it again. The leveling up and creeps and shit aren't for me anymore.
>>334859257
Uh no. They're still making hundreds of millions from wow, and hearthstone is still a success, and on top of it they're launching their compete esportz scene soon and making money that way
they're laughing all the way to the bank even though they're being "nice" with overwtch
>>334855780
I feel these are two different games, and it's unfair to compare them as opposites.
Overwatch is more of a TF2.5, while Battleborn is more Monday Night Combat. You should get whatever game interests you more.
Does Overwatch need a decent PC to run? If this shit runs on a potato then I can see it doing well on PC. If it doesn't then it's probably going to be shortlived.

Blizzard hasn't made one good game in 10 years. The only genuinely good game Blizzard ever made was the Lost Vikings. Condor AKA Blizzard North made the good shit like Diablo.
>>334859754
So should I start posting words of wisdom by Anthony Burch to counter this?
Or what Gearbox did to Duke Nukem?
Or what Gearbox did to Aliens Colonial Marines?
>>334859873

>>334859925
Gearbox is shit, but saying Blizzard is a "lesser of two evils" is flatout untrue. They are equally bad.
>>334859586
It's still on the obnoxious side but at least it's not nearly as bad as Borderlands since Burch isn't writing it this time.
>>334859735
It does feel like Gearbox doesn't understand what was good about Borderlands 1, as they pushed a bunch of the game's worst elements to the forefront in the sequel. It feels a bit strange how a developer can miss the point of its own game.

Blizzard doesn't even need to pay shill to do the work.

Which going make them load of cash, even without paying shit ton on advertisement like Doom.
>>334860482
Battleborn is supposed to sustain Gearbox long enough to fully develope Borderlands 3.
You don't want another Pre-Sequel, do you?
Havent played overwatch, but battleborn was really fun. Each character felt unique and the balance between melee and ranged characters was cool.
If you like mobas and shooters i would buy it. The only negatives i can give it is having to unlock characters and unlock talents for characters.
>>334857090
>"Don't ignore it"
>"I hate when games like this get ignored because people mistake it for something else"
Maybe that has something to do with poor marketing and not the consumer.
>>334858425
>Battleborn got tedious after the first couple of games
That's subjective, though. Personally, I find OW god-awful to play, but I understand the appeal of each game. OW just isn't a game for me, and that's fine.
>>334858581
Vertical FOV is garbage, but having horizontal FOV would ruin characters like Phoebe. I'd like to think that they put some thought into it, and chose character balance over a proper FOV. In a perfect world you could have both, sure, but it's better to decide early on than have constant bickering among the developers about character design vs better features.
>>334860457
The game is still in an actual mid-beta state, and they're giving out keys like candy. Once they're closer to hitting OB and the actual release, you'll probably see a marketing push.
>>334860421
BL2 put the emphasis on story, increased the linearity, added OTT wacky humor, weapon levelling, crazy useless weapon variations and loot grinding. All things that sucked in Borderlands 1. Plus it recycled EVERY FUCKING JOKE.
I just want to choose a mission and shoot some shit with some tinges of dark humor, y'know? That's what was fun about Borderlands.
>>334855780
Team Fortress 2.
>>334859257
I think it's right to be. They're putting feelers out to see what they can get away with and eventually they'll start probing brand new territory to find ways to make more money. Look how it went early on:
>paid characters?
>NO
>what about paid skins?
>no
>what if we had crates, would you buy those?
>maybe...
Tada, now overwatch has crates including eventually crates you can buy. They'll probably try crate season passes, real money for game money and maybe exclusive cosmetic packs before they come up with something new and uniquely jewy.
>>334860485
In TF2 it's to show how rich you are.
In OW it's to show how rich and/or lucky you are.
>>334861354
Non adjustable fov would be fine if it was a little bigger and weapons and UI weren't Xbox heug
>>334860457
Is this game even a thing anymore? I thought most of the devs got fired
>>334860457
Gigantic actually has some of the most interesting characters I've ever seen in a moba.
I just wish the combat was more tactile
>>334855780
I'm getting both of them, they play quite differently from eachother besides how much people compare them.
>>334857702
There's a ton of overly positive Battleborn threads too. And Gearbox are known shills, remember the Borderlands 2 bullshit?
>>334859680
She doesn't sound British, she sounds like an american trying to sound British and doing a really bad job at it.
>>334862048
There's UI scale and vertical FOV (goes up to 110) options in the PC version's menu, but yeah I agree some weapons are too hueg. Some of the character's also have oboxious first-person cameras, like Kelvin who has the camera inside his fucking mouth so you see his teeth bouncing up and down all the goddamn time.
>>334855780
They're not even close to similar in gameplay.
Overwatch feels like a shooter.
Battleborn feels like a Moba.
>>334860457
>I want this game to do well
Why, because you work for them and were a part of creating such a fucking disaster that the CORE GAME MODE IS FUCKING TORTURE?
Great job.
>>334861819
Overwatch has zero room to do that shit though. Shooters are risky nowadays, people tend to drop them fast and never look back.
The last thing they need is traditional map DLC to divide the player base. They might try paid characters, but usually they try to sell a season pass if they have a plan like that in mind from the start. After all its always better to try to get the money up front since there's no guarantee they'll still be playing when the DLC hits.
>>334855780
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbysrESU1x4
Overwatch is an extremely shallow but fun hero shooter
Battleborn is a fun MOBA and PvE infused hero shooter
>>334855780
Greymane or Battleborn?
>>334861151
But Battleborn's marketing has made it very clear that it's a FPS-MOBA and not just some team deathmatch game.
>>334863617
Right, I don't think they'll do any of that because it just wont work. But there's other ways to make money off games.
>>334860834
This
I enjoy the game a lot but this is the biggest factor for me buying it
I want to support the game so they can survive long enough to make a Burchless Borderlands 3
>>334863298
It's an American game, what else would you expect? They can't even tell the difference.
>>334858581
FOV in Battleborn can be changed up to 105. You can also scale and move the HUD.
>>334855780
Apples and Oranges.
>>334860759
>Blizzard doesn't even need to pay shill to do the work.
But it's objectively true that they have. See the "tournament" they paid dota and lol streamers to participate in.
>>334860457
I feel so bad for the people who put their heart and soul into Gigantic, but they had it coming. This thing will tank harder than a KV-2
>>334855780
Why are people so insistent on comparing these two games? They are COMPLETELY different genres, you're basically comparing something like Smite to TF2.
One is a FPS while the other is a first person "moba".
>>334864406
>heart and soul
No they fucking didn't, the game was complete trash in and out EXCEPT for the art style. They should be forgiven, but everyone else on that team needs to be slaughtered ASAP
They're different enough to thrive on their own.
I love both games actually.
>>334864621
NO YOU DON'T YOU IDORT
>>334864470
They can both be classified as hero shooters but otherwise yes they are completely different games
As to it is blizzard shills who bring this debate up every time because they dont like seeing any game but theirs discussed
The one thing that Overwatch has going for it is that the gameplay is stolen from TF2 and not DotA. Fuck multiplayer shooters where you have to kill minions and upgrade your character, seriously.
>>334864864
Word. The "moba" gameplay ruins the alternatives.
>>334864828
Try making a Battleborn thread that doesn't try to piggyback off Overwatch. No one wants to talk about it for a reason.
>>334864864
The abilities are ripped from mobas, but yeah, really fuckin glad you don't have to farm minions.
That shit is why its really fucking hard to kill people in battleborn. People need to be able to stay alive and farm unless a few people catch someone out of position which is moba gameplay.
>>334864828
lmao you gotta be some lame ass nigga who already bought battleborn because there's a reason those threads never reach post limit, no one gives a single fuck
more people have jerked it to mei than they have preordered battleborn
>>334864470
Because the new trendy thing to do is make shooters with that use moba skills tied into their gameplay.
Overwatch, Battleborne, Palladins, Gigantic, Unreals new shooter moba thingy with moba skills.
Of course they'll get compared being in the same trend even if one veers more towards a traditional moba and one veers more towards tf2.

>Lmao you gotta be some lame ass nigga
Pic very related. Learn to type in english or you will never succeed in life
And I would rather judge a game on whether or not it is good not whether or not I can jerk off to it. And the reason they dont reach post limit is because /v/ doesnt really care about the game. Its by gearbox for fucks sake. But when has /v/ ever been an indication of whether a game will succeed or not?
>>334866632
I'm sorry, but r/european/ is that way.

>>334866579
It's not really an arena shooter tho
>>334867457
This is what /v/ wanted. This is what /v/ has become.
>>334867457
Which is which at this point?
I was playing battleborn and I was wondering, were some fuckers joining matches then disconnecting at the start doing that shit just to piss me off or what. There is no way to win 4v5 and I don't think you could join a match in progress.
>>334867457
Basically
>>334868247
I won a 3 v 5 incursion match with blood sweat and tears
Came down to the wire though and we almost lost.
There does need to be more done to prevent rage quitting like lockouts and such. The fact that they cant join another game until the one they left is over is both good and bad because it deters some people from quiting and encourages them to come back but at the same time it means no one new will join the game if they dont come back
Having played both, I personally vastly preferred Battleborn. The characterization is much better (Oscar Mike being a jab at the average dudebro gamer who plays only shooters, Caldarius being a clear Decepticon homage etc. etc.) and the gamemodes are more interesting than what is available in Overwatch. Mechanically, Battleborn is simply a deeper game, and that appealed to me.
I had more fun with Overwatch. I haven't played Battleborn since the tech beta 6 months ago, but at that time the only mode was a shitty pretend-Dota. If I wanted to play MNC, I would. Now if they are adding more modes like CTF, KotH, CP, payload, ect, then I'll probably end up buying it.
>>334868621
Looks interesting but I can't stand the art style, too cartoony like Wildstar.
>>334860064
>trifling mortals
>not keeping "trifling gnomes", regardless of the player's race
Step it up Blizzard.
>>334868760
Latest beta had Incusion, basically you gotta push into enemy territory and take down a big robot sentry that has a shield and heavy damaging weapons, once you take down one you have to take another which is like, directly outside their spawn point.
>>334860064
>That player health
What was the point of the number crunch they did in WoD if they are just power creeping back to ridiculous numbers again?
>>334868760
They are adding a King of the Hill type game on launch
They """"say"""" they are planning adding more modes but I will believe it when I see it honestly. They said they had about 20 different modes in the idea phase. If they have just 10 it would pretty fucking awesome. If they do add more it will be in free updates just like their character and map updates
But yeah I can totally see not liking the art style. Everyone is entitled to their opinion
>>334869571
>>334869198
Sounds promising. Is the beta still open? I might see what has changed in 6 months. I'm sure they unlocked more heroes since they had a few that were done but unpurchasable when I last played.
>>334869748
Sorry, m8.
Beta closed yesterday.
>>334869571
10 modes is way to many, what would they even be?
>>334869748
Nope it ended
ALL characters could be unlocked this beta, some of them were still a little hard to get, but only because the easy way to get them(story mission) were locked, we only got 2 story missions in the beta, but you could unlock everyone just from leveling up.
By the end of the beta I had everyone besides 1 guy unlocked.
>>334870097
That one guy was probably Toby, since he was exclusive to PS4 during the beta due to Sony paying for it.
>>334869571
Any more than 5 modes would be a waste. You have to remember that you need people to actually play on all these different modes, and Battleborn seems like it will have a niche fanbase already.
>>334861354
It isn't like I didn't like Battleborn when I played it, but playing it for the first time was really overwhelming and the combat felt kind of mindless and unsatisfying. Mostly because everybody was kind of a bullet sponge the feedback for hitting someone didn't go past the big numbers on the screen.
Not a bad game by any means but the polish Overwatch has really puts it above Battleborn in my opinion. Overwatch is just a lot more simple and does those simple things really well as opposed to Battleborn that tries to be really complex but misses a lot of QoL things as an FPS game.
>>334870339
Nope, I was on ps4, so I did unlock him but never bother to play him, the person I missed was the big black guy.
Ghalt I think? Because I only got to rank 38 instead of 40 or whatever rank it was to unlock him.
Battleborn made me feel like I couldn't actually contribute in any meaning way to a match. Where as in Overwatch I feel like I can actually accomplish things.Plus I know for a fact none of my friends are going to be buying battleborn, but some will be getting overwatch.
>>334870589
iirc his damage is shit and needs a buff anyway, you weren't missing much
>>334870801
They buffed it during the beta, he uses shotguns so you gotta be a bit closer though.
>>334870801
>his damage is shit
You clearly werent using the forcefield increases damage upgrade then
>>334870741
Every play of the game ever is always some guy jumping into the enemy team and hitting an I Win button.
>>334870801
Are you talking about Ghalt? Because if you take slugs and the both barrels upgrade, he dealt about 450 damage on a bodyshot and upwards to 900 damage on a headshot. He was among the most broken motherfuckers in the beta, alongside Ambra and Marquis.
>>334871018
Or a Torbjorn dying and his turret getting kills.
I'll get Battlelborn just so I can play as this Link and Samus fusion character
>>334871018
>>334871215
Or a bastion just sitting in turret mode shooting. Once in awhile you get good ones.

>>334870741
I don't see how you feel that at all.
In overwatch you contribute by killing people in battleborn you contribute by killing people, hiring mercenaries, building turrets/healingsstations, summoning super minions, guiding minions to objectives.
I'm not saying Overwatch is bad or anything, its a different game and I really enjoy both games for what they are, I'm just saying your point is shit.

>>334868247
Crashing at the character select screen was very, very common. Some people just couldn't be assed to re-open the game, I guess.

Playing Kleese is the most influential I have ever felt in a shooter. You can just build yourself and your team a forward base with the shield generators and by taking the heal chair upgrade.

Battleborn beta was okay, but it feels flat. Overwatch gameplay shows players jumping around, boosting up walls and shit; looks way more frantic and twitch shooter-like which is more of my style.
Battleborn is a shittier version of Super Monday Night Combat. It's a much better comparison to SMNC rather than Overwatch.
You'd think a character labeled as assassin could do enough burst damage to kill someone they get the drop on but when I was playing Rath people had enough health to run away and even if I'm faster than them the map was so small they'd get to their teammates or turrets or whatever. I could never stop myself from pushing too far and getting double-teamed to death. I would have thought being a character with a lot of attack and vampire shit would let me win damage races but I always died first and by the time I try to run away I have so little health any ranged attacks will kill me before I can escape. The point is how am I supposed to play this character?

I guess what I meant is the FPS portion of the game feels weak, sure getting mercs and building turrets are obviously helping out the team, but when I shoot someone I'd like to actually see more than 1/20 of their HP go down.
It's not like I hated what I played of Battleborn, but I think I'm just completely worn down on moba style games.

I really hate Gearbox humor. The first Borderlands game had shit I liked like the Isle of Dr Ned and General Knoxx. But not much else after that. Mr. Torgue was okay in 2.

If you can help it, do not open with the knock-up ability, save that to stop your victim from fleeing. And when you do use it, be sure to maneuver to their front while they are airborne and do your best to bodyblock them as you keep on wailing on them.

Bitch please. Overwatch was made by Blizzard... name the last time you saw a Blizzard game die. You can say that WoW is dead, but it lasted longer than any other MMO on the market by YEARS. With OW being the only game in a long time that I've been genuinely excited to play again I doubt it will die out any sooner than TF2. We'll just have to see how Blizzard updates it.

The writing style between the single player and multiplayer is quite different, it's pretty apparent that they had different writers entirely.
The humor in the multiplayer isn't always spot-on, but some of it is great, like Oscar Mike's entire character.
battleborn has the most unlikeable characters ive ever seen. It also isnt fun.
Why do people keep comparing these two?
They're VERY different games.
Battleborn
>first person MOBA. Minions, towers, levelling up per match, all that jazz
Overwatch
>Team Fortress 2, but with way more classes, and the classes each have a chargeable ability now, instead of just the Medic having one. No towers, no minions, no levels.
Although I'm not at all surprised that, as always, /v/ is having a """"discussion"""" about games that they have never played, and/or know nothing about.

I'm from Manchester and her accent is spot-on. You Canadafags need to quit acting like you're authorities.

Watching the trailers, it sounds like Wildstar too.
>"are you BADASS enough to kick some ASS and make your MAMA PROUD"
Cringey as fuck.
>>334855780
These games aren't similar and I'm not sure why they're being compared. That being said, I didn't get to play OW and BB was pretty fun.
>>334872307
I think its the better choice for the game as thats what helps make it different from Overwatch, it makes it more then a twitch shooter it actually feel more something along the lines of, I guess Power Stone or something?
Its a first person game yes, but don't compare it with other fps standards, because thats not how its suppose to be
It would be much more boring if people had the same Time to Kill as something like Overwatch and would make melee characters all but useless, and yes I'm aware Overwatch has Reinhardt, but for that game there is a reason there is only 1 melee character so far and why he's a tank.
>>334873450
They're both first person shooters getting released around the same time, and will be pulling players from roughly the same source, most of which will only have the time/money to play one.
Of course they're comparable.

3.5 million copies sold on day one is dead on arrival? And before you tell me that it went on to become a dead game, it sold 30 million units overall and the expansion sold 20 million two years later. Just because it turned out to be shit at its core doesn't mean it wasn't wildly successful and long-lived.
I hope they both last longer than two years, especially Battleborn. Overwatch feels like it's going to fill that gap TF2 left, while Battleborn provides an alternative gamestyle without removing the elements I enjoy.
I don't see why we can't play both, honestly. They're shooters and pretty light on commitment.
Battleborn less so, since one round in incursion takes 30 minutes. Hopefully they add a 10 minute mode soon.
>>334872307
Fair enough, but I think that maybe you just didn't play the champion that clicked with you best. I NEVER play support in games, yet Reyna was the most fun, most influential character I've played in a multiplayer game in a looooong time. Clutch shields can turn the tide of an entire battle, and also boosts your team's confidence when they know they can go balls in, and still get out with some protection.Makes me excited for Overwatch too, since Zenyatta's basically the same character.
At the end of the day, since they're both totally different games, I'm comfortable buying them both.
>>334875875
Zenyatta doesn't do shields, though, tha'ts Symmetra.
>>334876035
Really? I thought Zenyatta had shield orbs and damage marks? Well damn, guess Reyna will remain my favorite.
>>334876158
That's a healing orb.
>>334860663
Borderlands is fucking good, fag.
That's 1.
2 isn't bad either if you can ignore Burch.
>>334877205
What was Burch's role at 2k, lead writer? I'm never really reminded of him until I run into Tina, who I avoid as much as possible.
>>334877205
>>334877527
Was ISIC directly referring to Burch in that story mission dialogue?

if the majority of fans can only look back at d3 with a sour taste in their mouth i would say it isn't even remotely successful

It's profitable and shitty, like McDonald's.

2/3s still thought Reaper of Souls improved it enough to be worth buying. Even if another third drops it, that's still 10 million people lining up to buy the next one. Which is a ridiculous figure. Most games aren't lucky enough to sell even half that. It was successful at getting money and keeping people's interest. That's all we're talking about here.
>>334860457
game is fun, too bad for the whole w10 thing
it really dissuade people from trying it

d3: the mighty ducks?
It's hard to have these discussions because /v/ hates Blizzard, especially now because of Nostrius, but there is no comparing Battleborn with Overwatch. Battleborn doesn't stand a chance. Hate them or like them, Blizzard games are always polished and just have a feeling a lot of other games can't match. Battleborn is severely lacking that polish. Plus, the over saturation and clusterfuck of effects on screen in Overwatch is overwhelming. And the campaign means shit, it's completely unbalanced and some classes can't even play it. I wanted to like Battleborn, I thought it could work, but they fucked it up. It would be an OK pick up as a bargain title.
Battleborn seems to have more variety but it has a way longer TTK. Pretty much all the characters have to plink away at an enemy's health, quick deaths really only happen when you have three or four people bursting down a single enemy.
I find Overwatch more fun because it's faster paced. However, the difference in TTK makes them feel different enough that I'll be playing both. I still enjoyed Battleborn.
> Plus, the over saturation and clusterfuck of effects on screen in Overwatch is overwhelming.
It's the same shit in Battleborn. They really need to tone this down.
>>334881245
My bad, I actually meant Battleborn. I went retarded and mixed them up. I think Overwatch is much easier to follow, especially because you don't have to worry about focusing on creeps.
