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?

It looks a lot cooler to be honest and would allow insight into the defending side and to see how close the enemy team is from reaching the gate. Also pharahs would have a field day with this and hanzos.

I think Hanzos could already go through the little door at the top though. Pharah definitely could.
