My issue with battlegrounds is more the fact that they are taking a hero shooter and trying to make something completely different, pulling a huge amount of resources from developing the actual game and following yet another fad. I would hate if blizzard did something like that with Overwatch.
tbf overwatch has done things like that a couple times already, like some of the event modes and deathmatch, albeit i guess they're not nearly as drastic as a battle royale mode would be
It might be easier with Overwatch than with Paladins, due to the latter being grounded in fantasy with champs stuck with their kits. I'd imagine OW, if it made one, would do something like this: people play generic pistol heroes and find weapons/abilities on the map.
rly? cus in overwatch the heroes are mostly "stuck with their kits" too, i highly doubt that they wouldn't have done nearly the same thing paladins did and just have the heroes with all their abilities and stuff already
altho tbh that would be pretty sick seeing all these weapons and abilities just mix and match onto someone like pilot d.va somehow lol
but uh anyways right this is the paladins thread not the overwatch one
never rly bothered to try it out yet since i already have overwatch but it looks pretty neat too :)
