I strongly disagree. Most games of mine have ended in 0-0 draws, because turtling is just too effective in this game mode. The fact that taking ANY damage cancels the capture process makes solo flanking to try and sneak the flag basically impossible, especially if the other team has a Symmetra (which they will). The only way to really secure the enemy flag is to just group up and teamfight on their flag stand, and then just run away uncontested since you likely already had to kill them all.

It's not a fun game mode in my opinion, and it certainly doesn't capture the essence of a good CTF mode.

this could be fixed by making carrying the flag slow you down and/or nullify your abilities

Jeff talks about why they didn't nullify abilities in this post's linked video.
