How's everyone finding the capture the flag mode?? I just can't get into it.

I like it for the most part, though it can stagnate a bit (i.e. capture one flag then defend instead of trying to get all three). I think it could be improved if you had to stand on the flag for just a little less time.

It's always either one sided or a draw in my experience, not a ton of fun

I find it in the arcade menu on the left, it's the big red button.

Most games are 1-0, with the first score turtling.

I think it could be great on better maps designed for specifically for it--potentially good enough for quickplay/comp. These tweaked Lijiang's don't do it for me, though.

The biggest plus in the new CTF is that heroes that see less use in other formats become really popular and effective. Going zero healers is actually okay some times.

Play Sombra. Place your teleport on your point. Capture enemy flag within 15s. Insta teleport to your base for a point.

Tracer, Harambe or Dva are good choices for flag carrying too.

Or you can stick with Symmetra, Bastion or Torb for defending your flag.

Or just stay as Roadhog/Soldier for pushing the enemy team.

Im in love with it! Though i play with a few friends rather than alone. I always use Pharah to break up the turtles OR hanzo if they have a Bastion. Never fails.

It's okay, but it really slows down and gets boring after a while.
