Kings row is the worst map in the game

First of all the defender spawns are absolute trash, if you lose first point your guaranteed to lose second as well. basically defense always loses no matter what.

Second, the map is just one long narrow hallway, increasing the advantage of the attacking team and allowing them to snowball through all 3 points.

Third, heroes like Zarya are just flat out broken on this map, the defending team is forced to huddle together = EZ grav-dragon combo.

Blizzard please remove this trash map from competitive and rework it like horizon and paris.

Kings rows is great with snipers and has many tank advantages and if u know a few tricks can be fun like the holes around the map at the last point u play hog there easy kill kings row is full of opportunity for almost all characters also zarya is just flat out broken in general

I 100 percent agree. There are way too many choke points throughout the map, as a result making impossible to play dive comp on the attacking side

Sometimes you c9 sometimes you don’t. LOL personally i think bastion is super overpowered. He does 10000 dps and cannot be booped. As a rein main, i never have a shield whenever i play against bastion. Maybe thats because i unbinded my shield but i dont this thats it. Bastion needs a nerf asap and if jeff keeps ignoring my dms i might have to do something drastic. Not threatening anyone but i might have to pop off. GG noobs see you in bronze.

As a player at the Grand master level I can fully agree with the post above me. I’ve played over 100 games on this map and I have lost almost all of them. My biggest complaint about the map is the overuse of bastion on first point defense. After the Iron Clad passive added to bastions kit it has made it almost impossible for me and my teammates to kill him. With this passive he is able to withstand a full duration of whole-hog, he is immune to earth shatter and he can tank Dva bombs with no issues whatsoever

I agree with you. Rein Zarya is super overpowered on that map. Im just trying to have a good time on ballhammond and then a rein come and smashes my teeth with his hammer. Then zarya t-bags me and calls me vulgar names i cannot repeat.

Yeah I don’t understand why people like Kings Row so much. I used to not mind it at first but nowadays I just hate it. Same goes with Numbani.

Hell, from a Blizzard pill awhile ago, the community in larger voted Kings Row as the best map with it having about I think ~80% of the votes.
It seems we found the rare few who disagree.

Phone please stop autocorrecting Hell to He’ll
