If only Valve already had a wildly popular hero shooter with loveable characters.
I guess the Overwatch market is wide open ever since Overwatch self destructed
- The PvP experience itself has actually never been in a better spot imo in terms of content delivery and balance cadence
- I thought Valorant took that spot?
  
  That's more of a Counter Strike clone. The "abilities" are more akin to CS utilities like smokes and flashes than they are to Overwatch characters. The rest of the game is pretty much a direct copy of CS.
Oh shit, are we getting Team Fortress 3?
- No. See it has the forbidden number in the title
  
  It's actually a technical problem - Valve is running 1 bit computers that, due to binary origins, can only represent 2 states. They'd love to release hl3, but that would require coming up with the whole new architecture - at least doubling up to 2 bit cpu. Imagine the headache of adapting all the toolchain to build the game!
what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I'd think tf2 would be one.
- You'd be correct about tf2.
  
  I would define a hero shooter as having Moba style characters in a Counter Strike style environment.
  
  Would Siege be considered a hero shooter?
I wonder how my man Gordon is doing...
- Still bleeding in a warehouse wondering WTF just happened.
- He passed.
Seems derivative.
