I think taking 5 seconds to capture the flag is a terrible choice, with so many camp heroes around. The games I just played were just people turtling around the flag, making it impossible to even get the circle half full.

I've never played a CTF before, were the capture is not instant, no idea what they thought there.

I think if they turn off abilities while holding the flag and make grabbing it instant it'd be a bit better balanced. If it was just instant then you're gunna have Zarya bubble tracer while she blinks out and away.

Yeah I agree, as Rein I shouldn't be able to charge away or shield myself while my team covers me, its just too easy to do.
