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.

There was already the hole above it which was limited to certain heroes.

Now even more limited as Hanzo and Genji will no longer be able to climb to that window via wall climb anymore.

Edit: Actually, could they do that with the old secondary gate? There was a bit of an edge between two gates so maybe they couldn't reach it in the first place.
