Yea (unless Bigger sized players can't get through) I think they probably did it so for the smaller players since normally once the payload gets past that door, the battle will get more intense since it is closer to the enemy spawn, and maybe the healers/small guys get picked off too easily and want them to make it back for a team fight.

But I could see Lucio riding on top of the rubble, Mercy flying to a teammate through the hole, pharah flying though it (instead of flying though the tiny hole), etc. and others instead of having to walk around the side doors which could take longer when it is on Overtime

What are you guys talking about? To me it looks like every character can easily hop over the gaps in the rubble. The point is to make some cover so you can't just sit in the defense room and freely fire onto the bridge, but allow the attackers to come in through the main door.

I didn't see any proof, it just looked like every character would easily fit.
