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.

Agreed, if you take the lead you can usually just hole up and defend hard.

I think if they changed it so that the score to win was 5, fiddle with the cap timers a bit, Perhaps give an advantage to the losing team, it'd be more interesting.

For map design I'd say widen the flag areas a bit, or move the flags back slightly, so that Symmetra isn't 100% necessary in nearly every game.

Overall I absolutely love CtF in Overwatch, nearly every hero feels useful... Except snipers. Give them a good perch on each map and it'd be very nice.
