Capture the Flag was just introduced as an event mode within Overwatch today. I think it's a lot of fun, but there are some things that I have learned from the first few games of it.
1.Teamwork is Still Necessary
I think this goes without saying, but teamwork and communication is still necessary. Most teams are going to be smart enough to not allow Tracer in to just snag the flag and walk out. Plus, it is necessary to stay on the flag for a few seconds before you have it and that doesn't allow for a quick snag and escape. It is still necessary for you to go in with either all or part of your team.
2.Meta
There will definitely be a meta to this mode and I believe it will be mostly the mobile and movement boosted characters. For example, Ana just does not have the speed or mobility to perform well in this mode. Lucio and Mercy will probably be the favorite healers in this mode. Winston, Tracer, Genii, Pharah, Mei, Symmetra, Torbjorn, D. Va and Soldier will probably be the other strong picks. Symmetra and Torbjorn, in particular, because of their strong passive defense.
Those are my absolute first impressions of the mode. It's a lot of fun and adds a bunch of new ideas into an increasingly fascinating game.
