Paladins

Paladins is a team-based MOBA shooter that actually predates Overwatch, but shares many of its merits as a tactical murder simulator at a fraction of the cost. You’ll play as a mecha-goblin or gigantic rolling bomb and work in conjunction with your comrades to knock the numbers out of your opponents - before destroying their base. Bonus: everyone gets their own horse.
