I only played like 1 or 2 games of overwatch but it seemed like they were all just characters with guns
only differing from the likes of CoD in that which gun you get is locked to the character
maybe they have roles, like tank characters, ones with movement, dmg dealers, obligatory healer etc. just like a moba. importantly, some characters roles overlap
but tf2 classes are like playing different games. heavy is considered the most boring precisely because he's just a guy with a gun
I was grouping tf2 in with the rest because it's so old (I think I started playing it when I was like 10 and it had already been out for years at that point) and because it's more of a hat trading simulator/aimbot hacker playground than a fps at this point

The only thing noteworthy about its competitors is porn. In a just world where g*mers aren't complete coombrains Concord would have saved gaming,![:marseysigh: :marseysigh:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseysigh.webp)

ALL hero shooters are trash. The only worthwhile property about them then is the porn.

Actually I'm wrong, about TF2 and only TF2, which is exquisite![:marseytf2scout: :marseytf2scout:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseytf2scout.webp)
I guess that's a "class shooter" though. Is there a meaningful difference !g*mers? Between a hero shooter and a class shooter.![:marseyhmm: :marseyhmm:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyhmm.webp)

tf2s gameplay is much more varied ig
they're not all just guy with gun and maybe an ability on the side
the characters are iconic
the visual design is clear and convys everything perfectly
the genre peaked in 2007 that's why everything coming after feels so ... boring and uninspired
im sure concort is an ok game in a vacuum

All these are true but that's more to do with TF2 specifically and not the genre
Basically do you consider TF2 a "hero shooter" or is it different (more than just that duplicates are allowed)

i think classes feeling different is more a hero thing rather than a class thing like BF3

Literally the only difference is that hero shooters have moba abilities and TF2 doesn't
TF2 is balanced around having one of each and hero shooters are rock-paper-scissors

Hero shooters are more marketable, think that's mostly it.
