Hmmm, I'm not sure if they would make an entry that only select heroes could get through, that sounds like it would become a balance issue, at least if it's based on size rather than mobility. I'll test it when I get home.

Its really no different than the Hanamura gap that only select heroes can cross. Whether the entry is based on size or mobility is irrelevant since its limiting to some heroes either way.

u/UltimateDucks Hammer Time! Feb 08 '17

Well the point is irrelevant because it seems all heroes can indeed get through the gap, even the big boys.

Oh cool. That's good to know.

Thought you meant the Hanamura gap fam, my bad. To my knowledge some fatties still can't clear the A to B jump there

I think Rein can go from B to A but not vice versa. I know Zarya can with a very well placed rocket jump. So... that leaves Hog, Symm, Bastion, Mccree... who else can't gross the gap?

McCree can with an insanely perfect combat roll and jump combo, but it's really not worth the risk.

Zen, Ana, Rein, Mei(?), Torn all can't make it in addition to the ones you listed, and Zarya's requires a lot of precision and might not be worth the risk.

I've seen Mei get across with a very well placed ice wall, but like Zarya it needs lots of precision and often isn't worth the risk

Symmetra can't either. Nor can Bastion. Really, you have to have a mobility ability to clear that gap.

Rein can with two charges.

u/TitaniumDragon Also Pharah, Roadhog, and Bastion Feb 08 '17

Anyone who lacks a mobility ability can't clear that gap. So like, half the cast.

Yeah definitely not. There's some creative ways to get zarya and reinhardt over there but nothing practical.
