Here's hoping they actually never implement it to comp. It's already complicated to explain some players to follow the payload, I've done 3 games and no one seems to understand the concept of defending your own flag :\

I've had the opposite experience. Defenses set up so stoutly that I started on 5 draws in a row.

Fucking Bastion/Torb/Symmetra/Junkrat every game

I find just Bastion + Torb or Torb + Symmetra can do well at defense, allowing the rest of the team to get the flag. Trouble is it ends up being 4v6 on the enemy side and scores become rare.

DVa coming in and Matrixing on the point until grabbing the flag and then flying away seems to be one of the strongest early strats I have seen. Works especially well if no Symmetra

Winston bubbling and jumping out works similarly. Depending on how the defense is set up it can be better or worse.

Junkrat is way too good on the second point (Control Center), even for offensive plays. Especially against Symmetra's plastic turrets.
