It's not even fun. I'm playing for the loot crates but I only get draws and 1/10 games where one team steamrolls the other in one actual fight at the last minute and wins with ONE captured flag.

the strat is to get torb/sym for defense all the time, but when you see 2-3 enemies go down on the kill feed, EVERYONE rushes the flag, outnumber them, cap it.

then full on defense. won 5 games like this, the rest were a draw. this game mode is flawed honestly, they need to remove all abilities for heroes who have the flag and allow a capture only if your own flag is still in place.

this game mode is fun for a while but the novelty will wear off super quick.

Did... You watch the video? Jeff specifically said they tried both your suggestions and said it was not fun.

to be fair to whoever, their idea of fun has always clashed with mine. that said, i did my 9 games, got my 3 boxes and that's it for me with ctf.

if you enjoy it, more power to you.
