Similarities Between PvZ: BfN and Overwatch!
Hey everyone, Throughout my time on this forum, I have occasionally seen players stating that BfN is similar to the game Overwatch from Blizzard Entertainment. You know, such as PvZ: BfN = PvZ Overw...

@TheSprinter85 How many people actually like the changes to Cactus and Captain Deadbeard from GW2 to this game? Not saying I don't like them, in fact, there's a reason why I play Widowmaker, but I know people who would like to see legendary upgrades that revert sniper primaries to their previous form.
@Fork_x_Spoon I like the changes made to snipers a lot, but I would also love to see a legendary upgrade that makes them deal less damage and only let them zoom in a bit, but removes the black overlay and increases the close range damage a bit.
I uninstalled OW for many reasons and the game isn't exactly king of the world as it was either. It's been handled badly, Blizzard has changed Mercy and Symmetra so much that it reminds me of WoW and reinforces why I've never understood the love that company has, they couldn't balance a check book, much less a competitive online shooter. BfN DOES feel like OW in some ways, the snipers especially feel like Widowmaker. I don't mind Snipers being like they used to be in GW1 and GW2 or like in BfN with the charge shots, but if they brought variants back, I'd say they'd have to return to the GW style or that last Zen Cactus shot is REALLY going to hurt.
The Engineer definitely reminds me of Junkrat and both characters are just random spammers, which is likely why I don't like BfN engineer all that much. I pretty much agree with your list @TheSprinter85 as I was 235 or so in OW before I left that toxic cesspool for good.
@stukapookahit a lot of points I have to agree on. GW2 came out just before OW and I've always preferred it, I had I think 300 hours in OW (I can't check as I uninstalled all acti-zard products), and over 2400 in GW2. I prefer Paladins and TF2 over OW, and the GW games even more.
@Iron_Guard8thank you, when overwatch released I felt like I was taking crazy pills as everyone was praising that shallow * with its boring maps, lore, and unbalanced lazy characters and acted like it was some kind of revoultion for the industry when its literally a glorified reskin of another game (the devs even admit this) and every time I see bfn reference it I die a little inside.
Blizzard devs poured gasoline on the fire with all their crappy balancing changes and pandering to stay relevant (hey balancing is actual garbage but soldier is gay so play our game).
Say what you will about 2018 battle royale and the fortnite trend but I'm glad they finally deleted overwatch from relevance.@stukapookaI hear you. In both GW games and BfN, we have 'Capture the taco stand' and 'capture the secret cabin'. In OW, it's 'capture point A'. I can barely tell OW maps apart without seeing specific things like Cherry Trees on Hanamura, in GW 1, 2 and BfN, all the maps have their own flavor, even if some are similar to each other, no one is going to mix Tourist Trap Island with Peachy District!
All these games share some similarities for sure, and some of the OW/BfN parallels are more blatant than others (engineer and Junkrat is a big one). I do like BfN more than OW, that's for sure. But I liked it better when the GW games stood out further from the pack.
