Jesus fucking christ, let me take it point by point then.
>Was smart enough to get shekels out of retards by popularizing loot crates to get kids addicted to virtual gambling in an already full priced game
Well, you got me there. It isn't like TF2 has a box price at any point and doesn't have any lootboxes and keys.
>Figured out how to market their games for free by getting twitch streamers and youtubers to shill for them for 0$
Oh yea, TF2 wasn't super meme friendly at all. It's not like it had a massive community shilling it for free well before twitch bullshit was everywhere.
>Dumbed down the FPS genre to levels never before seen by taking aiming out of the equation as a required skill
TF2 is a more casual friendly alternative to the Arena shooters that came before it. Overwatch is an even more casual TF2.
>figured out how to shove Moba mechanics into a an FPS combining the two favorite genres of normalfags into 1
You got me there, though I could argue that loadouts are a precursor to MOBA class bullshit, but I won't.
>Manage to make character designs that pleased the retarded SJWs on tumblr and make the beta numales "waifu" and fap to their unoriginal characters
Not this exactly, but TF2 was definately cartoony and meme friendly to the extreme.
>Managed to make it acceptable to sell a full price game with very little content on release with no server browser or any of the features you would expect from any online game
TF2 was never 'full priced' it started at 20 while Overwatch starts at 40. I'd argue that's semantics though. And TF2 was fairly feature weak early on, it just grew quickly, much faster then Overwatch. TF2 has also has consistent server browser issues, Overwatch just went so casual they said 'fuck server browsers' entirely.
>Lowered the bar of Esports by making their game so simple that anyone can be a pro, especially with a meta that is so stale and rigid no one has to think about what to do
Again, got me there.
>Made it acceptable to release a multiplayer game with no balance what so ever
TF2 STILL isn't a balanced game and each time Valve tries, they get the 6v6 autists screeching about how Heavy's making it to mid in any reasonable amount of time is ruining their meta.
Most of the OP can still be applied to TF2, it's just not a 1 for 1 comparison because TF2 is so much god damn older, but the idea is still the same. A casual friendly, character rich, meme friendly. In almost all ways, Overwatch is a redone TF2.
