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.

Lol is the most played online game so no

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

You didn't even know what genre it was at first. Sounds like you just want to complain.
