Do you guys think OW2 will reduce the visual clutter? As someone who has very poor eyesight sometimes I’ll lose track of where enemies are due to so much stuff happening on my screen. I understand that this problem only probably effects a niche portion of the fanbase, but it is hard strain on my eyes to play my favorite game

2 less heroes on field means 2 less heroes making visual clutter.

One of the benefits of 5v5 is that you’re taking away two people and all of their visual effects. In addition maps will be bigger and teams are less likely to be grouped up due to lack of tank synergy/protection. So in a lot of ways, yes, it will be reduced.
That’s one of the main reasons they stated for going to 5v5
im sure surprise flanks will still be a thing. along with people being oblivious too whats going on around them, always loved the tanks sitting at the choke point waiting for the enemy team on the Volskaya Industries map while sym ports to the left side of the map behind them. i think some people either dont have their audio up or are listening to music and not listening for audio clues sometimes.
hopefully symm will still have this advantage on some of the new maps if she keeps her teleporter
Having too much clutter is no better than no visual feedback at all. The game relies on visual feedback.
I wouldn’t mind if they tone down Winston’s tesla though considering how blinding it is.
Sorry, I don’t have much time nowadays to get invested in every new piece of OW2 news. I still think it would be nice of the devs to add a “reduced visual feedback” option in the menu like the many different options they have for colorblind settings. I think even with 5v5 this could be a problem. As I noted before in my initial post, this is a niche problem for people like me who have terrible and photosensitive eyes. What may not be a problem for you may be for others. 
I know it’s a problem for some people, I’m just sad we are going to 5v5 that’s all lol. Gonna miss all the tank comboing and synergies
