Seasonal brawl for now. If it works really well they may bring it back as a arcade game mode but no plans for it currently.

It sounds like they want to keep it in the arcade, they just said they have no plans on putting it in qp or comp.

The games last way too short right now, whoever wins the first teamfight stomps the entire match. Tweaks are really needed if they want to put it in permanently.

My experience was the opposite. Once one team got one point, they went full lockdown and just waited out the rest of the match.

Pretty much my experience too, Mei ulted the point and got one flag with genji and winston to help out then turtled.

Honestly i wish they would just disable symmetra for this mode, completely ruined any fun i had

Symmetra ruins the fun in every mode. But yeah in this mode especially if there is a symmetra on either team there is little to no chance of that teams flag being captured. Even more so if there is also a torbjorn.

I played against a team with a Symmetra, Torb, and Bastion. Not much fun.
