Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

Sounds more like SMITE than overwatch

Or Paragon even. That game was so fun back in the day before it got killed. If anyone can make something that fun again, it's probably Valve.

Before that there was Super Monday Night Combat.

God I miss Monday Night Combat. It was one of my favorite indie games on the 360.

Yeah, that really brings me back. I had like 4 tokens on Steam to give the game away when they were trying to get more people to play. There was some other hero shooter MOBA a little after that too, by Epic or something. Didn't last very long and wasn't all that great, but I still played the shit out of the falcon character that could "fly". Man, I need to jump into another one of these games.

There's a remake out right now called Predecessor that I've been enjoying, free on PC/PS/Xbox.

Oh shit, I hadn't heard of that. I'll definitely check it out; thanks for the recommendation.

Was it really that good? I heard it was overwatch from wish when it launched but then got better. I never tried it, because i didn't wanna learn something new.

It was a hero shooter MOBA but with some verticality, so that's about as far as the Overwatch comparison goes. I had a great time with it. I like traditional MOBAs but don't have the skill/patience/time for them, so hero shooter MOBAs are the perfect way for me to be able to play them more casually. In my opinion, of the few I've tried, Paragon was the best implementation of a hero shooter MOBA; the core gameplay just felt really tight to me.
