I actually managed to get an automated approach to this using Lutris. 

Create two text files, one for changing the control buttons and one for
reverting the buttons to the default. In the "changing" text file put in
xmodmap -e "keycode 37 = Control_R" and make the file executable. Open the
"revert" text file and put in xmodmap -e "keycode 37 = Control_L" and make it
executable.

If you have Overwatch in your Lutris library then right click Overwatch and go
to Configure. Navigate to the System Options tab and scroll down to the
Pre-launch and Post-exit command fields. For the pre-launch command, navigate
to the "changing" text file/script and enable the Wait for pre-launch command
completion setting. Then for the post-exit field, navigate to the "revert" text
file/script.

Now when you launch Overwatch it should switch the layout and when you exit it
should revert it to the original. It seems like I get an error about the
lutris-wrapper crashing when I use this but the game launches properly and the
control button works without a problem.
