Just use the MOBA section, that's what it's there for.

 

MOBA Discussion

 

 

Also

 

Overwatch > TF2

Well it's not a moba, although you are correct in saying it's better then tf2.

 

+1 for forum section, replace some dead div like tf2.

Who cares? It's a section that's rarely used and could use some more posting, or you could make a general thread in the general. There's no reason to add another.

Yea, but adding Overwatch to the moba section would make as much sense as adding it to the nuclear dawn div.

it has a lot of moba elements, but imo it would be better to make a separate section for it

You can use the MOBA board.

 

MOBA = Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.

 

aka a game where 2 teams battle it out for objectives to determine a winner

 

the MOBA forum section used to be MMO, then re-purposed for League, now re-purposed for any game that doesn't quite deserve it's own whole sub-forum (not a game we have servers in) but definitely doesn't need to be flooding general.

 

 

 

TL;DR use MOBA and stop saying it doesn't belong in MOBA it deserves it's own thing.

 

If you wanted to argue that it doesn't belong in MOBA then it would only make sense to put it in TF2 because it literally has the exact same objectives as TF2, exact same character select structure (you choose a character and he has a set "load-out" obviously with inventories slightly different now), and TF2 was stated in many interviews as a huge game that a lot of the OW developers played and used as a drawing point.

Multiplayer online battle arena - Wikipedia

 

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (ARTS), is a genre of strategy video games that originated as a subgenre of real-time strategy, in which a player controls a single character in one of two teams. The objective is to destroy the opposing team's main structure with the assistance of periodically spawned computer-controlled units that march forward along set paths. Player characters typically have various abilities and advantages that improve over the course of a game and that contribute to a team's overall strategy. MOBA games are a fusion of action games, role-playing games and real-time strategy games, in which players usually do not construct either buildings or units.

 

The genre largely began with Aeon of Strife (AoS), a custom map for StarCraft[1][2] where four players each controlling a single powerful unit and aided by weak computer-controlled units were put against a stronger computer.[3] Defense of the Ancients (DotA), a map based on Aeon of Strife for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne, was one of the first major titles of its genre and the first MOBA for which sponsored tournaments have been held.[3] It was followed by the two spiritual successors League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth, and eventually a sequel, Dota 2, as well as numerous other games in the genre.

No it wouldn't make sense. They're completely different games. Yes they have similar gamemodes and have unique and colorful characters, but its literally like putting Black Ops 3 posts in the TF2 section. Black Ops 3 mp has "classes" (aka character selection with ultimates) that have unique personalities, and it has similar gamemodes to tf2 like payload and ctf. But it would sound pretty stupid to post it in tf2.

You don't have to agree with me, but I don't think it would be much of a hassle to make a section. If ow isn't popular enough in the community, then I understand why. I just like the game a lot and ive seen people on here talk about it a lot and thought there should be a section for it to make things easier.

You could always just make a post in the "Games and Consoles" part of the forums.
