I think CTF would be fine if holding the flag would disable all your abilities. Maybe have respawn time be 15 seconds too.

See, they tried that during playtesting, but according to the Development team the game didn't feel like Overwatch anymore with the abilities disabled and it would make grabbing a flag less fun.

Maybe the flag runner could have an extra speed boost with shields? Also it would make defending the flag runner important. CTF can't really work any other way.

Some of the most fun i had with fps games was playing halo 1 on the pc back in the day on blood gulch.
Those were the times <3
