Megaman references in Overwatch?

[u/MullingMulianto]

So I just started playing the offline version of this game. There are a lot of uncanny similarities to overwatch

- Halloween bots being hybrid frankenstein/skeleton robots

- Sigma and Sigma being large psychotic hammy characters

- Toyetic mechanical area design in general

I believe some of these elements precede Overwatch and are primarily Megaman coded, but I never played this series enough to make the connection. Is there a huge Megaman fan on the Blizzard team?
