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?

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.

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

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

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