> No; Overwatch 1 was unique in that a single player trying to do something "off-meta" meant all 5 other players had to play around that one player, and if you were losing it was very frustrating. The game's design and balance IMO was inherently toxic.

To put it another way, the game was unique in combining meaningful teamplay and meaningfully distinct characters. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong to say that's an inherently toxic point in the design space, but it's pretty tragic if that's true, because those both seem like good things that you want a game to have.
