Overwatch and Valorant IMO have a more tight focus on what each game is suppose to fulfil. Granted, I have not played OW in a serious capacity in a while so for all I know the Meta problems are perma-baked into the game now.
That being said, Overwatch is a hero shooter with a heavier focus on finding a synergy between characters, prioritizing objective control and rallying a coordinated push.
Valorant is more focused on mechanics similar to CS/CSGO with more "modern game design."
Both are "hero shooters" but the tactics and team play are vastly different. Both games also have good performance have being made just as enshittification was slowly taking hold.
In contrast Concord and High Guard seem to suffer from having an unwanted, unholy, and overall unfocused orgy of every cash cow trend over the past decade. The market has been oversaturated with these types of games for a while now. Unless a studio is going to have a genuinely fresh take on the concept(s) that can fight the genre fatigue I can only see them fizzling out.

Rian Johnson wrote and directed the Last Jedi before writing and directing his Knives Out trilogy.
David Ayer wrote and directed Fury before he went on to write and direct Suicide Squade (2016).
I can get it if a game dev makes one bad game out in their career, but two fuck-ups back to back is a bold strategy, Cotton.

I think the game has some potential, but the amount of changes that need to go in to make it appeal to a broader audience is a lot for a game that is considered "launched".
I think a 4 v 4 v 4 v4 mode would've been cool, but the maps taper down as the game progresses so you'd have to have teams eliminated completely during the match or it'd be an absolute shit show. Also performance allegedly sucks so you add in nearly 3x the characters running around it's going to be worse.
