Everyone just aggregates towards the close quarters area inside. It makes it easy to win by mindlessly diving the area with a hero like junkrat or reaper. Its a nightmare for a ton of heroes in the game.

I never really see Reaper or Junkrat win that map though.
Lot of the deathmatch maps suck, mainly due to height differences. I.e. King’s Row, and it’s hallway. For the Chateau, it’s a bit of the same, though it also suffers from awkward hallway/corners that lead to weird fights.

Because the Wine Cellar Fight Club is the best area on the map.
You go outside, and you’re just skeet practice for the half a dozen McCree’s/Widowmakers in every FFA DM match.

i dont play it anymore but all my 1st places were on junkrat. chatau is basement party and junklrat is insane
I usually see Hanzos cheese their way to victory with Scatter Arrow.
Genjis just running around then dashing down into the basement to kill steal everyone fighting.
Or the worst, Moira sitting in the basement spamming orbs.
Junkrat and Reaper…not so much.
Lucio is by far the funniest character to go up against if the player is good.

Chateau is the only DM map I actually like to play DM on.

It’s mostly mcrees and geni’s that win, with the occasional tracer or roadhog.
Moira, Hog, and Reaper are annoying, but seem to never finish kills.
It used to be a great map. Lots of different areas for different play styles… but now 9 out of 10 games are just basement spamfests.

People making too much noise in the basement? Introduce them to some precision German engineering.
Yeh I can’t stand it. During the weeks where Chateau is the only map (please stop doing this) I just don’t bother playing DM. Other than that I really enjoy the game mode.
Obviously everyone has their preferences but I just feel like Chateau is killsteal city. While there is a certain element that makes that fun in other maps, it’s overkill here. Everyone is pushed extremely close together, meaning every other time you get 1 vs 1 with another hero there’s Genji to steal your kill, dash reset and then kill you too. If you go round one of Chateau’s numerous tight corners then here’s flashbang. Go into the basement and you may as well be playing the Junkrat/Moira orb lottery.
It just feels too chaotic to me. Obviously there is some luck in DM but Chateau feels like there’s so many random variables because of the limited space, and that doesn’t give me space to do the things I enjoy in DM - 1 vs 1ing people.
I enjoy all the other DM maps, even the ones where Widow is prominent.

Same its genji/hanzo or my rein that wins
Personally, I love the Chateau Guillard map. I started using it to practice Hanzo because I am a terrible person, and found that the aiming and quick reaction time required to succeed made me better with my other heroes (D.Va, Bastion, Orisa). Going to start practicing with Widow there soon; I really want to get good with her.
I’m thinking we’ll get three more DM maps for the anniversary like how we got the three arena ones last time. I hope so, at least.
Guillard prefers characters that do well in closed off areas. Moira is incredibly OP in that regard, since there is almost no way to avoid her damage. Junkrat the same but even to a lesser degree.
Some characters just plainly have no chance on Guillard. We need another DM map.
I only play DM with Mei now. I like freezing people, head shot them and then using the voice line “That Looked Like It Hurt!”
