Overwatch feels like the better game IMO, since they're more focused on overall game balance and fine-tuning the experience to be enjoyable by everyone.
GW2, on the other hand, took two years and a sequel to fix a peashooter variant that was really not good. All the while buffing other characters that are hurting the game experience.
GW2's gamemodes don't really get that much attention, since all anyone ever plays is Turf Takeover anyways, and a more casual player, be them child or adult, would tire of that eventually. They would either start playing offline with bots, or quit altogether.
Point being, Quantity ≠ Quality. You could fill your game with enough classes and gamemodes to fill a football stadium, but that means nothing unless player retention and overall balance are kept in check.
EDIT: A bit of an afterthought, but I agree with the point @Jetset575 made about GW2 being too wacky. GW2 took all the legitimate, yet tounge-in-cheek elements of the first game and scrapped it for more goofy content. The selection of base game cosmetics reflect that heavily. Goofy hats and accessories aren't bad in moderation, but... That's ALL there is.

I agree that quality and quantity are not the same, but I also think that more content is better than less. Overwatch may be better balanced, but I got quickly tired of it. There's just not enough to do. I'm inclined to think PvZ GW2 is my GotY, but I certainly don't expect many to agree with me. Truth is, 2016 was a really great year for games.
