Overwatch: Classic was unveiled yesterday, and it's so much more than a return to 6v6. As well as giving everyone an extra teammate, it's bringing the game back to its 2016 state entirely, which includes reverting all the hero reworks that have happened since then.

Mercy will be able to rez five teammates at once, Symmetra will be setting up six turrets around chokepoints, and Bastion will be camped out on the payload, tearing through anyone who gets close.
