Stuff like fences, railings and smaller destructible items littered throughout the maps add nothing positive to the gameplay experience and only serve to be troublesome when you need to clear them for optimal play.
Railings on 2nd levels have stopped my doomfist from slamming to safer high ground and blocked shots from my McCree ult from the higher levels to lower for 2 examples.
It’s one time use cover!
It adds another layer of strategy.
Which do you clear for your convenice and which do you not so you will be saved?
I get so annoyed when I pre-break railings on 76 and strategically leave some up for quick cover, only to turn around and see someone on my team smashing all the ones I left because they saw me breaking the railings and… I dunno, thought I was doing it for fun?
Then break those props before you use your abilities.
Destructables like the street signs on Mumbani can be used in strategic ways, and bottles are fun to smash. Railings can help or hurt you. I think it’s perfectly valid to leave in. It’s not random, it’s entirely skill/situation based.
