I'm getting low fps (10-30) on Overwatch with high settings on a HP Pavillion All-in-one, the 2016 edition. I'm confused because it can run League of Legends on high settings well with a smooth 90-100, but Overwatch struggles. It's a higher end pc that costed more than $1000 so it shouldn't be having so much trouble running. So is it the pc or the game?

That would be the culprit. If you want to play Overwatch, you're going to need to tune down your settings to play it. You don't have a discrete graphics card in the machine.
LoL is easy enough for practically any machine to run as it doesn't need anything that's graphically intensive, and on the CPU side of things it's also very lenient. Overwatch--while still not nearly as graphically intensive as the newer AAA titles--is far and away more graphically intensive than LoL is. You have a first person perspective in Overwatch that needs to be allowed to have higher detail--in LoL you have a top down view which affords less attention spent to detail due to the proximity of the player to what they're seeing.

It cost that much because it's an all in one, not because it's nice. All in ones are crippled by laptop hardware in what is largely used as a "desktop" solution. Without knowing the exact model of what AIO you have, I can't tell you exactly why you're getting terrible FPS in your games; but I can tell you it is likely due either to your lack of a discrete GPU or lack of a quality discrete GPU. The ones that I can see from a quick scan that are over $1000 have mostly Geforce 930A GPUs in them... They're older, they're gimped by DDR3 memory, and they do not have strong cores. The others around the price that you stated have a GTX 950m or just Intel HD graphics.

Run DXDiag--Win+r then type in dxdiag and press enter. There will be a tab once it finishes called Display, and there will be a subset Device. If you could tell us the Name: of that device, that would narrow it down likely.
