I've played both, and personally I prefer battleborn. In spoiler form for the sake of compacting this comment [spoiler] I found the characters to be more likeable/memorable, as well as the gameplay to be more enjoyable. With overwatch I played reaper because of my flanking/assassin/hitandrun playstyle, while he was enjoyable to use i absolutely hated his personality, he was extremely edgy for lack of better terms, constantly referencing death and yelling "DIE, DIE, DIE!" When you cast his ultimate. Closest character in battleborn I can refrence reaper too is phoebe, she plays similarity, sneak up on your target and do a lot of damage or cast your ultimate and break a group of targets. Reason I like her character more? She isn't an edge lord and has a backstory. I tried a few other characters in overwatch but They either A. Didn't fit my playstyle or B. I didn't enjoy using them, so I can't speak for the rest of the cast. Few other smaller issues I had was the pricing, I'd pay $20-$30 for overwatch not full price, I don't care about the skins, they don't justify the game being full price, yes it's receiving content over its lifespan but if I'm not enjoying it at first, I won't stick around for a few new maps and modes. Other issue? The community, while yes I understand not everyone in it blindly defends the game and has tracer body pillow (or roadhog....whatever, and yes I'm exaggerating a bit for the sake of adding a little humour, so preferably don't freak out) but the majority of the player base I've seen is extremely over the top, example 1, this one guy at my school, he blindly defends the game and acts as if it's a 10/10 game that every person [b]must[/b] play and if you don't like it, you're sub-human. Yes, again, I understand that one guy doesn't speak for the whole player base. Example 2, this ones a little more...local, anyway while back I said that I preferred battleborn over overwatch here in #gaming and very shortly after had about 5-10 people immidiatly ready to execute me. Example 3, the data recorded on what people where searching up on the Internet, most of us know this story, and let's be honest, that's unsettling. [/spoiler]
