Overwatch lost its identity

From Jeff’s post on a 3/2/1 experiment that evidently morphed into 5v5

I found this fascinating because in 2013/2014 every decision we made was to embrace/encourage/force teamplay at all costs. We put so much effort into putting the focus on team victory/defeat rather than individual performance. But in 2020, I feel like the over-emphasis on teamplay (while great for hyper competitive players and situations such as OWL), causes a lot of psychological pressure for your average player just looking to blow off steam in a video game. I guess what I am saying is, that in 2020, feeling like you can deviate from teamplay a little bit in OW and have some success feels like a good thing, not a bad thing to me.

The devs themselves admit to changing their base thinking on the game. Maybe not on the specific things you addressed, but definitely feeds into them
