So...just have the game only playable when their is an online connection.
The Switch is a home console too. It is possible to just play a game when you have a strong, reliable connection. We already have games that can't be played in either console, portable, and even table top modes. Overwatch will just need to be a game that's really only meant to be played at home. Heck, maybe even only in console mode, so the game can have the extra horsepower at all times.
I get it if the gam wouldn't run well on Switch hardware, but the system is fully capable of running an online-only game. Though, honestly, if they CAN get the game running in handheld mode, there's no reason they couldn't add an offline LAN option.

12 Switch and Voez.
There is a reason why both the back of Switch game boxes and the eShop have spots dedicated to supported play modes, because Switch has features that don't work well in certain modes. Any game that REQUIRES joycon motion control can't work in portable mode. Any game that REQUIRES the touchscreen can't work in console or table top mode.
So it'd make sense that there can be games that require console mode's increased horsepower or guaranteed online connection. (although, again, there's no reason why a game that can operate in handheld mode can't have the online requirement as well, given wifi and mobile hot spots, and the potential for off-tv home play)
