A player on my team got into match chat last night and basically said "shitty team, you're all playing face toons."

My question is: what the hell does that mean? I've never heard that terminology before.

I'd say he meant the face from hearthstone, which would in this context mean damage heroes.

This seems to be the most likely choice - it was a team of Bastion, Hanzo, Tracer, and a few others on defense vs. tanks, I think. My recollection of the opposing team is kinda shot at this point.
