In OW2 (but to a degree in OW1 also) they're fun because they have powerful ults and do a lot of damage.
Since you can only have 1 or 2 of them (dunno if OW2 is still locked to 1 tank, I assume so) they're allowed to do way more damage than a DPS, they often have lots of mobility so that they can bounce between the frontline or the backline, they often have ults and skills that are game changers.
I mean they're still dull, and ones like Reinhardt are unfathomably dull, but you're at least getting bribed with stats.
But not in Rivals; all the Tanks are low complexity, low impact bricks that sit on the capture zone and maybe facilitate their DPS players.
The thing is you have really really fun DPS characters like Spiderman (very high skill ceiling), Psylocke, some others
