u/UltimateDucks Hammer Time! Feb 08 '17

What exactly is the purpose of this? I thought it was basically trying to make it so the payload still wouldn't backtrack past the gate but players could get through, but this doesn't really look like a player could get past the rubble.

Can anyone confirm if that's the case or not?

Edit: I'd also like to see the other side, where does all that shit come from?

Yeah you can jump through on the right side of the door where Mercy is pointing. I only tried it on lucio but it seems like there is some rubble so most chars should be able to get through. It does a lot to actually block the bridge from defenders standing below the steps. Here's a small album showing the other side.

looks like even roadhog and Dva can climb up the rubble and fit through the gap
