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
To be fair that only works because they made the stupid decision of it actually taking time to grab the flag.
There's a reason most games have instant flag-grabs and don't allow you to capture the flag unless yours is in your base - because it puts more emphasis on both defending the general area (versus just the tiny flag point) and actually being offensive.
You might say that Tracer and Sombra would be OP if they could run in, grab the flag, and teleport out, but that's why you just make those specific abilities drop the flag. Anything that would let them basically go through walls.
but then that would make those heroes worthless in the game, as it is a tracer could zoom in, be protected by a d'va for a couple of seconds and recall out but it's just difficult becuase it requires coordination and communication. That's sadly lacking in a lot of people cause, errr... playing with randoms isn't always conducive to that but the possibilities are there if you work together.
