Sym/Junkertown lag exploit/memory leak

Sym can cause massive leak and an effective memory leak by going to the middle room and holding her beam on something on the shelf.

The person lagging is defend sym: Dinkleberg heres the replay code if anyone else wishes to see NYQZM8

Itll keep building on memory, after the match itself i was at like 7 gb of mem being used by OW alone i left a time-lapse of it to see when id crash it was around 8gb. It was not my recording software causing any frame dips as it was not even open during game itself.

Here is the video:

Edit after more testing:
After more testing can also do the same on Zar and lesser extent echo with her E, i feel if you got all 3 in a game to do this it could crash console players maybe or just make the game unplayable.
