Team-based PVP is not my thing but my heavens that looks pretty.

The term is 'hero shooter.'
I enjoy them, but I haven't had an 'active' one in a while. The problem is that most of the companies have decided that a few trends are better money makers - battle royales, extraction shooters, and anything that can be leveraged as a service. Even Overwatch (one of the last of the genre that I played) fell prey to some aspects of this when they rebooted (and promptly watched their playerbase vanish.) I'm happy to pay for a game, but I don't want to be constantly farmed for cash by the publisher, constantly hounded to spend, and to keep running into yet another inconvenience that can be solved with just a little real-world cash. Oh, and be regularly annoyed by that one person in every match who doesn't think twice about spending a thousand bucks to gain an advantage.
And this is free-to-play, which strongly suggests that it'll be doing exactly that.
