TF2 is a hero shooter
Wasn't TF2 the first hero shooter?
Well TF1 and probably a mess of random games but TF2 is seen as the one to invent the genre (vs just being an fps)
I'm sure there's some small game that technically invented it, but was rather obscure. TF2 was the first mass market hero game I can think of. I guess TF1, in some respects.
The "small" games that inspired, if not invented it were Doom and D&D. There was a Doom map called Fortress where you'd attack each other's base and the further you'd progress into your opponent's base, the better weapons it'd unlock for them to use.
