How to unlock the The Path Is Closed achievement in Overwatch 2 - Definitive Guide
Note, this Achievement is slightly glitched. PlayStation Trophies has documented this (link below) and I can confirm from my own playing experience that the issue is the same on Xbox.

Update: Blizzard have fixed the bug that prevented D.Va mechs from unlocking this:

Glitch Warning: There are reports that this trophy is unobtainable if playing as D.va so pick another character when you go for it.
This trophy can be very luck dependant. You will first of all need to play in a game where the opposing team has a Symmetra and after that pay attention to the voices of the characters on your own team and they will inform you that there is an "enemy teleporter located or "enemy teleporter nearby". The teleporter is a device (Symmetra's ultimate) that can be placed anywhere on the map and will teleport players from their spawn to the teleporter location. Good players will place these in very hard to find spots, so keeep a look out if you hear the characters talk about it.
As mentioned, when I played as D.Va on Xbox against a Symmetra that set up 3 teleporters it wouldn't unlock. Can't make a comment on any other character but if you see an opportunity to unlock this in a Quick Match then I recommend switching away from D.Va.This trophy can be very luck dependant.

Thanks for the heads up on D.Va being glitched. I got 5 teleporter kills in on game with her. Finally got it as Tracer.

Since the 2018 Symmetra update this achievement can be unlocked easier then before. Symmetra now has teleporters as her ability instead of her ultimate, She is also now in the damage section instead of support.
Symmetra isn't on many teams, she is normally on the defending side. So it might be a few games before you find a Symmetra.
I used Tracer because she is fast and can destroy a teleporter quite quickly I also recommend Junkrat and anyone with high damage.
You don't exactly have to search for the teleporters because they are in sight. I got it on Hollywood, all of the Symmetra's teleporters were all near the point so its easy to get 3 just in a match.
But you have to be quick because they don't last very long (only for a few seconds)
I hope this helps

I agree the new update made this much less luck-based, but you definitely have to be quick. From my experience, you have to get the final blow in the kill feed for it to count towards the three for the achievement; it's not enough to get the pop-up text for destroying the teleporter pad without the kill feed cue. Took me a few attempts to get all three final blows in one game.

This achievement is very difficult and I recommend if you die a lot use bastion who can take teleporters out very quickly in turret form if you aren't trying to suicide destroy however, pick sombra who can easily flank and destroy TP in one clip.
I highly recommend you get to know the maps and places to hide teleporters before attempting this because it is crucial you take it down as fast as possible so symmetra can start getting ult charge again. A good game mode to try this in is payload maps on attack on comp as there is two separate round if you only get two TPs in the first, but you need to be careful as the symmetra may switch and you will have to try again later. I personally did this in quick play as bastion and sombra but the last teleported destroyed was after the game in slow motion so I highly recommend comp. Turn your sound up as listening for the teleporters sound can help pinpoint The location of the teleporter.

After trying this for so long I finally got into a match with a Symmetra that actually placed teleporters. That first part is completely luck, once you’ve found that I highly recommend going Sombra because she has the ability to go invisible. This is what I did- I ran into the area invisible where she placed it, went visible so I could shoot and then I quickly shot and destroyed the teleporters.
The reason why I recommend Sombra is because if you just go into the back where the enemies are with any character, you’re bound to get destroyed. You most likely won’t even be able to destroy the teleporter on time as well. Her invisibility allows you to sneak past undetected and destroy the teleporters.
Notes:
-Symmetras from my experience typically place the teleporters near the enemies spawn or near the point outside of it (although this one put hers on the point for some reason)
-Be cautious of widowmakers, her ultimate allows the team to see everyone, and even you when you are invisible
-Be careful to avoid hotspots for enemy fights/fire because getting in the middle of it will cause you to lose invisiblily
-The teleporters have quite a bit of health, using Sombra’s weapon will take a few seconds to destroy them so make sure you do so quickly!
-Do not expect to do it all in one go, Symmetras can only spawn 2 teleporters at once, so be patient and good luck!

This achievement may seem tough, but with good practice it can be earned. For a less circumstantial way by any means to get this, follow this strategy:
1.) Que up for a game (quick play) with a friend. 2.) Have either yourself or your buddy select the other person’s icon in the upper right hand corner, then hover over the leave group option for whoever may volunteer, but don’t leave. When you’re matchmaker has found a match, have someone leave right away. They may be on the other team. 3.) If so, charge up Symmetra’s ult. with turrets in a more private place. When Sym’s ult. is ready, place a teleporter and have the person going for the achievement destroy it. Then repeat. If you’re on the same team, then restart from the pervious step two.
The only luck that’s required is a long enough game. Therefore, I wish you good luck!

It is best to play as Tracer because of her speed or as Diva because of her endless ammo.

A trophy for good luck, we play and listen carefully when a character says that there is a teleport somewhere nearby, this can be said by both your character and an ally. As soon as we hear it, we immediately look for it and destroy it.
