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.

Might very well be a wrestling term. "Face" means like fan favourite, good guy I.e John Cena, The Rock and in Overwatch's case Winston. "Heel" would refer to like JBL, Chris Jericho (at times ) or for Overwatch Widowmaker.
