Sniper Damage heroes such as Widowmaker and Hanzo are a popular pick on the Ilios Ruins map.Lucio, Pharah, D.va, and even Zenyatta are all fantastic hero picks for this reason, as are Roadhog and Junker Queen, who both have abilities that can drag enemy players off the map with the perfect positioning. Heroes with knockback abilities are a great pick for Ilios as well, as each of the three maps has maximum potential to knock enemy players off the map.

Pharah and Echo would pair well with Support hero on Mercy to “pocket” or focusing all their healing and damage boosting onto them.

The same goes for both platforms above the objective on MEKA Base. If the enemy team has moved to take point, you now have height advantage as you press your attack. For example, on the Sanctuary map, move up to the drum by the coast first. Rather than rushing straight from your spawn room onto the objective point at the start of the round, consider leading your team along an alternate route.The following maps can be played in the Control game mode in either Quick Play, Competitive, and Arcade. Whichever team wins the most rounds secures their victory. The team who can maintain control of the objective point the longest, reaching 100% on objective time, wins that round of Control. In the Control game mode, both teams fight to seize control over a single objective point. The following maps have been newly introduced with the launch of Overwatch 2. For a more detailed look at each game mode and how to play them, including new game modes such as Push, visit our Overwatch 2 Game Modes page.Īll maps that were introduced in the original Overwatch have updated looks in Overwatch 2, most notably new lightning and new map assets.
