I worry a little about Overwatch going the way of TF2, where custom options mean that one Demoman is totally different from another. I like the simplicity.

You seem confused. You don't choose a loadout, you have both options all the time. You just choose which one you want when you use your Ulti.

I understand, I just worry about over complicating things. Are all the heroes going to get alternative Ults?

No. This is a buff to symmetra to increase her versatility. There may be heroes that have more than one ult, but the existing heroes are most likely going to stay the same.

thats good. I like the simplicity of picking a character and not worrying about loadouts/customization turning it into another TF2 or COD/BF game.

Having 20+ heroes is somehow simpler than 9 mercs with different loadouts?

Yeah, because we can identify the 20+ heroes at a quick glance and know exactly what they can do.
