Influences for Overwatch

Okay, so let's take a long shot here and say that Blizzards standard method of operation is to pattern after a couple influential games, rework the concept, streamline it, and package it in a highly polished form for public consumption.

 

How about you game gurus take a stab at what are the influences for Overwatch?

 

I'm genuinely curious.  For real.  I game very little outside MMOs and a few casual tablet games.  Don't even own a console.

    The biggest influence is definitely Team Fortress 2.  Although Overwatch seems to have less restrictive characters.  Cant wait til I get to play this gem! Will definitely be playing "Tracer"!

    it pulls heavily from TF2 and oddly enough...... counterstrike gameplay wise.
