Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

I had a lot of good times and even more bad times with DotA over the years, until I finally freed myself from it years ago.
IceFrog being behind this backed by Valve bodes well, and I think the premise of an FPS/MOBA hybrid has promise, despite the market being insanely oversaturated already.
I'm not really interested in competitive games these days, but I hope it'll be good to watch at least. Following The International was fun even after I quit DotA.
Trust me the market could use some competition. The only thing that really comes close to OW is Paladins.
Was gonna say. How is the hero shooter market over-saturated? There's like 3 games that people actually know about, and like 2 of those are good/decent.
I could be mistaken, as I don't really play competitive games anymore. I thought between Overwatch, Valorant, Apex, The Finals and what have you there was lots of stiff competition.
My first thought was that Valve was basically making a Paladins clone.
