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

Isn't an overwatch style hero shooter just team fortress 2? Now get off my lawn, I have clouds to tell at.

Nah. TF2 is a shooter with 9 classes. People can double up on "soldier" for instance. A hero shooter has for one, a lot more classes / heroes (which comes from MOBAs), for two activated abilities on each hero which change the games significantly, and usually disables doubling up in competetive modes. You wouldn't call Enemy Territory a hero shooter for instance.

Overwatch disabled doubling up well after launch, and only because they couldn't or wouldn't balance the game such that a 4 tank no DPS comp didn't utterly cheese the game.
