I too prefer seeing my character.  That probably goes all the way back 
to 2d flat turn based RPGs for me.  But for real time games it gives a 
tiny bit more field of view, and I get to see all my gear and whatnot.

I know some FPP games have had mods to add it in, but really you have to 
have a model with movements.  Apparently OW only has an idle model which 
you can see when you don't touch the controls for a minute.

I understand it's a lot more work to make such a model with all the 
movements though.
