You also had that time to adjust to a dozen of things that have been removed or neutered for sniper mains’ benefit. Barriers, defense overhealth, mass rez, etc.
Why do you think Widow and Hanzo are somehow excepted from this?

Low TTK works, if all the other options are Low TTK. (I.e. CounterStrike)
But Only 2 out of 43 heroes in Overwatch have Tactical Shooter killspeeds.
So the idea that Overwatch isn’t primary an “Arena Shooter” style of combat, is just wild.

It’s the opposite, as casuals die without even knowing, what hit them, with low TTK.

It goes both ways. Bad players can feel like they did something because even they can occasionally get a kill if TTK is extremely low. Early COD was pretty much this. The term n00b tube or camping was a thing. Cheese strats which could net you kills for being bad. The instant kill massive AoE explosion grenade attachment on ARs. You could completely suck at aiming, and still get kills with it. With camping, you coud kill someone before they knew you were there.
Camping doesnt’ exist in OW. If you suck, even with advantage from surprise, you generally will die in OW. There are very few easy kill combos remaining after s9. In valorant, the concept of an Ace exists.
The idea of a player ever winning a 1v5 in OW? Impossible. In OW, its like 1in100,000 games an Ace happens since say some GM paired with a silver in QP. In Valorant, it might be like 1in1000 games a person aces. It is significantly easier to make upsets when TTK is very fast.
OW appeals to players for easy effort in another way. You can possibly get wins by doing nothing more than say being a shield bot, heal bot, or possibly having torbjorn turret do all of the work for you. Almost every role there is some insanely easy to use hero that can dunk on people trying to play aim reliant heroes.
Sombra vs Widow. Pharah vs Sym. Things of that nature.
One shots can be easily played around. It’s called cover. Use it.
Pro hanzo is annoying but somehow I’m fine with it, widow on the other hand, have you played a game where widow kills your ENTIRE team from start to finish and no tanks/dps have the brains to expel them because they’re dumb? the game is literally dead the moment that happens
i switched to sombra and killed her one/twice but after that its hard as the enemy team keeps getting involved, one time I sprayed her full of bullets ALL 100% accurate as she’s not moving, got her to 5hp and INSTANTLY turns and one-shots me followed by a insult voice response, great, I totally love insta dying over and over and over again controlled by one character thats a cross between pro and hacker and I’m the only person trying to stop her
and don’t say you don’t care “duh get good bro”, because you’ve never been on the end of that stick, its like saying “duh stop whining about bullying it helps promote character” says the person whos never been bullied, enjoy the school shootings
p.s the OP sure loves defending one shot heroes, yet we wine about mccrees stun and fan the hammer, because i find that more tolerable then insta dying from ANY direction that you don’t see until its too late, nice priorities
Ok……you think someone is stupid just because picking your unlike character……
why hog is not fine then?
What are you even talking about? You said this
That is describing stupid play, and my point is that… not always. How you arrived at
Is one of the most bizarre conclusions I have seen reached.
That’s why you need to revert that garbage 
patch called s9.
When was overwatch fricking POPULAR
WHEN
Genji could dash combo
Tracer could one clip effectively (she still can but way harder )
When Cassidy could throw his half burnt cigarette in your face and when you stood there coughing tuh tuh tuh ezy
When hanzo could shoot your ankles and send you to spawn
When pharah withwrcy boost could kill tracer
When zarya could right click and beam you off
When hog could hook and send you to spawn
When junkrat could throw a coconut and cookie 
and delete you
When reaper meant winton mad
WHEN ZEN COULD DELETE TRASH WITH TWO TAPS
When cas could hs bodyshot.
Are you fricking KIDDING ME THAT THIS HIGH TTK GARBAGE IS MORE FUN
IT’S MORONIC what this game is now.
LOW TTK IS WHEN THE GAME IS FUN ALWAYS WILL BE.
TRYING TO MAKE BAD PLAYERS LIVE MORE WILL ONLY RUIN THE GAME AS YOUR UNMAKE GOOD PLAYERS NOT GET REWARDED.
No one wants to play a UNREWARDING garbage
You have ruined the fastest burst combo hero in the game GENJI to look like a 
with garbage high ttk , the coolest clip hero of the game
Honestly dude.
GOATs and DoubleBarrier were directly because of ranged oneshots.
And those kinda killed like half the player population. With their years of “eSports and GM Only” balancing.
Like throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into a bonfire for no particular reason. Heck, we might be talking Billions. Of lost opportunity cost.
But horrible management ideas like that was excusable by Bobby Kotick.
They don’t have that kind of excuse anymore.
Which is all directly because the devs haven’t been changing AntiNade, StormArrows, and Ranged Oneshots, in any meaningful way in almost the last 3 years.
Asside from FINALLY getting around to make it so Sojourn isn’t ridiculously powerful. After the community yelled at them enough, and they mumbled excuses about winrates. (Heck, just the fact that they treat Time-Weighted-Winrates like Winrates is a ridiculous management mistake)
The only other changes in that direction was giving Hanzo those “almost oneshot” arrows. Or Widow that falloff range. Both of which got removed.
There’s some sort of severe management problem or business strategy or KPI analysis problem going on with Team 4, that they’ve been pushing in this direction for so long.

Totally, 1 shots are totally the only way to counter healing. No hero in the game except hanzo and widow can kill through healing. Absolutely no one can get any kills outside 1 shots.

High sustain HIGH TTK 
DON’T BLAME ONE SHOTS, DIVE WAS ALREADY THERE BEFORE IT and handled one shots well
.
Why nerf dive ???
Make dive strong ,.make the supports decent to deal.with dive that is the answer everytime.
Please don’t sell high ttk diabetes
I won’t do that, because that would be lying.
It’s a near impenetrable redundant wall of defence that’s mostly impervious to ranged oneshots.
The idea that that ridiculously high amount of hypervigilant defence has nothing to do with ranged oneshots is a joke.
That’s like saying a historical suit of armor, had nothing to do with swords.
And yeah, it is impressive that Team 4 has not figured this out in the last 6 years.
In a hero shooter with tanks against dps
The only joke here is you thinking everything is about oneshots

Saying “Overwatch is a game like Overwatch” doesn’t mean anything
It’s a Class Based Shooter

That’s what Valorant is for.
Where even pistols can oneshot.
Has to put up with this ridiculous vocal minority that all thinks they are all better than them the actual creators
No that’s what good succesful games like overwatch 1 were and why 2 despite all the drawbacks still is going well.
