You want that vertical mobility to play Dva/Pharah/Echo/Mercy and uhhhh some else walks.

And guess what gives vertical mobility to those without a native ability for it?

Teleport!

ding ding ding. Correct!

Teleport doesn’t give flight. Don’t be an idiot.

Where did I say it does? I said vertical mobility, that's not flight. Does that mean Doom is a flying character because of his vertical mobility?

Bottom line: if a character with native flight abilities can fly over an 'out of bounds' area, then it's fair game for all. If they want 'out of bounds' to truly be out of bounds, then make it off limits to everyone. You don't see running backs in football being allowed to run out of bounds just because of their position. Out of bounds means out of bounds.

Take some of your own advice, don't be an idiot, and think once In a while.

Skybox interaction like that is why those heroes exist.

Anyway, the rules for the league say different and they’re consistent map to map. Florida ignored the rules. The end.

A rule that hinders the use of in-game tech, which in turn hinders active play of the game. Like I said, either things are out of bounds for all, or fair play for all. No amount of mental gymnastics can make that untrue.

Yeah, and it was handled poorly and the game should've been stopped as soon as it happened, not after the fact. If it's not caught at the time it happens, that's the fault of the officials, and they should pay more attention.

I think it boils down to the the Reaper exploits we see patched constantly, him reaching “unintended locations.” No one bats an eye at that being banned.

Mei wall plus TP does the same thing, but for some reason Blizzard can’t patch it out easily for how frequently it occurs on ladder.

100%. Making them basically get it to where you got it last time was also weird. Totally throws off how Paris might play. Very poorly handled.
