yeah. there are two gameplay types, a king-of-the-hill one where you're fighting over a fixed territory, and an objective one where you're trying to escort a payload that moves slowly along a path into the opponent's base. you're either offense or defense in that mode.
each character has unique abilities and play style, but generally there are three types: assault characters (some are better on offense, some on defense), tank characters, and support characters.

As usual, you're wrong. You can unlock the hero this season by playing the game enough to get to level 45 in the free battlepass. New heroes are embargoed from competitive for a week anyway, so you can easily have her by the time she's an option in the real game *or* you can just pay the measly ten bucks and have her without lifting a finger *or* you can just wait until next season when she'll be free for all by doing a simple hero challenge on the training range.
I don't really agree with the direction Blizzard is going, I would make all heroes instant unlocks and leave cosmetics to the battlepass. But your description of what's happening is wrong because you're an unreliable narrator.
grinding out casual/competitive until you can play her is lame as fuck. its a literal j00 tactic and fuck these guys for not making it available to everyone right off the bat

Oh no to play the game you have to play the game. Or pay ten bucks. Or just wait eight weeks until the next season when she'll be available for everybody by doing a two minute hero challenge.
I did prefer the overwatch 1 model but jfc this is a really trivial hill to die on. If it bothers you this much just play tank/dps for a season and wait until you can get her for free in October.
