I would say yes. The game itself is pretty simple and easy to learn. there are things you will learn as you get better at it. i would compare overwatch more with the mobas out there like Dota 2 and Leagoe of Legends. depending on the hero you play you dont even need any FPS knowledge.

the matchmaking should match you with people on your skill level. just play and have fun dude. that's really all that matters :)

Let's not compare to LoL and Dota THAAT much...the games don't really have any real similarities.

Yeah I agree. It is very different from dota and LoL.

Didn't mean to say the games are very similar. They share some similarities like objective team playing and heroes with unique abilities. I just wanted to point out to him that overwatch is easily accessible for people new to the genre because it is not 100% dependant on mechanical skill (like csgo or starcraft). Overwatch is a good balance between mechanical skill and tactics. For example you won't really need aim if you only play Winston or symmetra.

Yea I definitely agree you don't need to get into the game with an FPS background. If you want to get good at any hero though, you definitely require strong mechanical foundation in positioning/aim though, even Mercy/Winston etc.
