Battleborn has a single player campaign; Overwatch doesn't. Battieborn Battleborn General Discussion Battleborn has hours of character dialog and interaction; Overwatch doesn't. epic 31m Battleborn has PvE and co-op; Overwatch doesn't. Battleborn has freaking MINIONS and MOBA maps; Overwatch doesn't. I keep hearing complaints that it takes upwards of 5- 30 minutes to find a match. So what? When I was a kid, I had to wait 30 minutes for my mom to get ready then another 15 minutes to drive to the arcade or a Battleborn has thirty (30) heroes: Overwatch doesn't. Battleborn is a fully fleshed out original IP; Overwatch is the scraps of another failed Blizzard game. friend's house if I wanted to play with someone else. Waiting a few minutes in the comfort of your own home is nothing! Go make some coffee, clean your room, read a book, etc while you wait for a match.
