Overwatch 2 should learn from Marvel Rivals that not every hero needs a gun

There are only a handful of heroes in Overwatch 2 that don’t use firearms or some kind of ranged weapon. Yeah, the “hero shooter” genre seems synonymous with shooting, but Marvel Rivals proves that differentiating your characters gives people more choice and playstyles for skill expression. Mister Fantastic and Captain America are two of my favorite heroes in Marvel Rivals and both are tanky melee heroes who get in close and brawl without a gun. I’d love to see more Overwatch heroes that don’t primarily point and shoot.
