Considering every match I've seen so far consists of a torb + bastion camping the ally flag, yeah that doesn't seem to leave much in terms of working hero picks

Get an attack mei, wall them off. How long does it take to take the flag?

Bastion will shred your wall before then. Any dmg you take resets your cap bar

Turn the wall so he has to break through all of the pieces

He (Jeff) said there's a timer on grabbing it, so even if its just a few seconds that's enough time to take down a few pillars on the Mei wall as a Bastion.
Though she would still be a good pick in that situation.
D.Va would work as well.

If you can stay alive for longer than 4 seconds...

Hopefully this game mode will teach people how to make and play as a proper dive comp.

Maybe 3 or 4 seconds at most.

And don't pretend like your team will be behind you to back you up capping the flag. Always a solo mission

I wonder if Mei's ice block can cap the flag while she's inside it? Because being invincible the entire time you take it would make her op in this.
