The thing is, Blizzard isn't trying to revolutionize gaming mechanics. What Blizzard is really good at doing is taking already-existing mechanics and making a super polished version of them. That's basically what Overwatch is. They took TF2 combined it with elements from the MOBA genre and made a very smooth, polished successor to it.
They've been doing this forever. From Hearthstone to HoTS, WoW, etc. The only arguably unique game you could say they've mad has been the Diablo franchise. Other than that, they've never been in the business of making the next Minecraft.

this. It pays off really well for them most of the time.
I have about 500 hours in TF2 (mostly spent as scout and soldier) and have watched quite a bit of competitive play over the years. I prefer Overwatch 100x over. There is just SO much player freedom in how someone can approach playing every character.
Don't let the failures of the modern Diablo and WoW team dissuade you from giving this game a shot. Overwatch has that old Blizzard love ingrained in it.
Also, Lucio is basically a support scout and it's amazing.
