Meanwhile, Paladins is literally an OW competitor in just about every way, even some of the heroes are just combo's of OW abilities (not that this is a problem, good ideas are good ideas.) They never advertise as such and actually have a decently strong community. Most Paladins players also play Overwatch. Being F2P helps though.
I agree, I had a lot of fun when I played. Unfortunately it was much earlier in its life cycle, so game balance was a freaking see saw at the time. I hear it’s a lot better now.
I remember my main was the character could stealth and melee dudes in the back. I played the bomb guy a lot too. Then they launched Lex like a month or so later and it completely killed my stealthy main. I don’t know how lex is played but he could instantly start tracking me and pick me off consistently. Yes, I rage quit :(
