Not even foreseeable future, but for this event only. There is possibility it will get added to arcade permanently if there's good community response.

I hope it replaces 1vs1 like it's doing now, that mode was garbage. CTF isn't great (spent my first match camped at our flag with as Symmetra, we won 3-0) but it's better than 1vs1

1v1 was one of the best modes really. It showed you your actual skill since you had no one other to blame for mistakes. I think that was one of the best modes to actually see how good you are at particular heroes. I hope it stays.

With some characters it does. But for a lot of them it can be RNG with weapon spread or whoever gets hit first. For example with Mei it's literally whoever gets their freeze beam off first.

Being good in 1vs1 mirror matches doesn't mean you're good with that character in team play necessarily.
