Its a very bizarre game. Its basically a MOBA with Overwatch kinda slapped on top, but both of those things are dying breeds and their biggest fans are too deep to ever change games.
So I'm not sure what they are hoping to achieve here because its not that interesting to shake up the industry.
They're just following fucking trends, it's sad to see how far Valve has gone with that kind of thing, as people all over have pointed out they used to be the absolute pinnacle of game dev. Now what are they doing? They let shit like the banana game onto their platform and are more interested in selling their stupid loot crates than making real content.
I think like a lot of studios they're physically incapable these days because a lot of their original staff have moved on and they're getting infested with DEI hires. I've got higher hopes for Stormgate than I have for any of this crap mainly because that's a game from original Blizzard devs.
If you're trying to infer that TF2 is a hero shooter you're wrong, TF2 is a class based shooter and yes I will go into autistic levels of detail arguing about this as I'm somebody who played Team Fortress Classic. Even if you could argue that TF2 has hero shooter elements it only got that way due to going F2P and the patches Valve introduced with all the silly special items that ruined the class balance.

You say following trends, but Team Fortress 2 was well before Overwatch.

Blizzard just combined Warcraft hero units with TF2 style FPS (which was what Blizzard originally did best was combing ideas.)
Team Fortress was well before Valve.
