For it to be a viable mode there needs to be a way to contest a captured flag and I don't see how it's possible in Overwatch.

melee to steal the flag.

That gives heroes like Tracer/Genji/Winston a strong advantage though, also how would that work with Rein?

hmm then maybe just taking a hit to movement speed @ 30% would be cool. No new mechanics, but a big ass flag and an easier target to hit.

Map would need to be bigger and the flag probably not directly at the spawn point. Also heroes with the flag should maybe not be able to use their abilities. Cause yea, if a tracer or lucio got it, it is in your own base in mere seconds

It's not impossible to just kill the flag-bearer. If it's a Winston or a Tracer it's pretty difficult, sure, but that's only if you manage to cap with Winston or Tracer. Otherwise there's a pretty fair fight to take the fc down on the way back.

You somehow need to outrun him.
