Heroes having an additional ability slot opens up massive design space for the game.
In Overwatch 2, heroes having massive glaring weaknesses makes for an unfun experience. Heroes need to have an answer to the faster pace, more flank heavy Overwatch. Basically all heroes need to be more generalist and the strongest heroes have an answer to basically everything, look at Sojourn.
This is especially needed for supports, while I would argue supports are performing fine, a lot of their playstyles are not suited for Overwatch 2 which makes for a less fun experience.
Removing crouch seems like the obvious choice. It is currently used mainly for flanks to get cheap kills. OW2 has an abundance of flank routes, so this seems like an appropriate nerf to flanking. It is also used to crouch-spam, which is also not fun to deal with.
This could be made to be a double-win, making the game more dynamic while also making it feel more fair and consistent for both sides.
