Yep. It doesn't help that Overwatch at the pro level looks nothing like ladder play, so even casual players won't see something they understand when watching an OWL match.
I think esports are best suited for games that are slower paced (LoL, DOTA, CS:GO) or easier to understand (CoD, Rocket League). Overwatch is a game that is very fast paced (Dive fights took like, 2 seconds from start to finish), and doesn't really have analogues in real life, so it's harder to connect with or intuit.
