Overwatch removes support for 21: 9 monitors

While there are ultra-wide 21: 9 ratio displays on the market (such as the Samsung SE790C or Acer Predator Z35) today it is not a standard and most monitors that are sold to the general public have a ratio 16: 9 or 16:10 aspect ratio in some cases. Ultra-wide 21: 9 screens usually have a screen resolution of 2560 x 1080 and not all games support it, as was the case with Overwatch.

Overwatch was released without support for this class of monitors and there were not a few users who asked Blizzard if this was going to be added through a patch in the future, Blizzard's response was not long and surely it was not the words they wanted to read.

In other words, Blizzard does not want players to have any kind of advantage over others by having a screen with a wider panorama of the stage, although there are other online titles that do support it. Many expect Blizzard to reconsider and 21: 9 support to be added in a later patch, which they haven't flatly ruled out.
