Wasn't Overwatch just a Smite clone

    No, Overwatch is a Team Fortress 2 clone. Games like Smite/DotA/LoL have lanes and minion waves, also items to buff your character as the game progresses.

    Apparently not, but I mean you could kind of say this about any game that has had an imitator. MOBAs usually have a large roster, each with a variety of viable builds and team combinations that helps keep it fresh. DotA 2 still has 800k~ players a month and is 11 years old.

    Yeah but this shit is so saturated now. There's tons of failed ones, too many to count, but publishers keep trying to push it for some reason

    shrug-outta-hecks Probably because if you get a solid player base you can sell dozens of skins to whales at $15-$20 a pop. I fortunately don't have the urge to consoom and maybe buy a couple after I've played something for several years.
