I only started playing this year, if someone could elaborate on the details of this, that would be great! It sounds really cool!Well, CTF (capture the flag) has changed dramatically since. o: Before it was heavily defensive and unbalanced if you will. Most teams consisted of Junkrat, Symmetra, Torbjorn and Bastion. This resulted in heavy defenses with more draws often than not. Though some got creative and went attack Torb, Sym, etc. But that was not often. Abilities before did not drop the flag (such as Winstons jump pack does now considering the dev update). Flag capture was not instant, and you had to have your team go with you to break down the enemy defenses to help you get the flag. Solo captures only happened when the complete enemy team was distracted and if no one was there to defend (attack Torb/Sym strat left you open to attack, it was a double edged sword). A strat that was used often was Rein holding his shield up while someone was getting the flag, with some type of an ult push. Mei was used quite often as well, her ult was really powerful since she could freeze everyone's movements and allow you to take the flag with your team. After you get the flag, you run and don't look back! There may be new achievements, but if I recall, there were only two last year. Those were win CTF with a score of 3-0 and recover a flag. p:
Now that everything has changed gameplay wise, I'm curious to see if these strats will still work and how it plays out in general!
Alright! That sounds pretty understandable! Thanks <3 <3 I'm excited!
