Shambali Monastery sucks

Monastery is the worst map this game has ever had. By a lot.

Please send it to live in the graveyard with Paris and Lunar Colony. It belongs there

Yet, their point is valid.

What about it sucks so bad that you had to make such a witty and articulate post?

I find it actually refreshing, but then I have only gotten it to show up a few times when playing. Its a bit lengthy, but certainly not annoying as Paris or Horizon for me. But then its a pay load map which was better to start with. Again, in my opinion.

Game on.

It’s too large. Too much distance between checkpoints. Too many highgrounds. Too much open space. Snipers galore. Not fun at all.

I must have played 100 matches on Monastery by now and have not had a single “good match.” It’s left me with a bitter taste every single time, win or lose.

Your opinion is respectfully wrong

Nope. Yours is wrong.

I love the map, my 2nd new favorite next to Midtown

Enjoy queuing into it!

If you are defending, it’s a great map. If you are attacking, it is the worst map ever. It’s like rolling a boulder up a mountain while people snipe at you from above and there’s nothing you can do about it. Not fun.

I like it, it’s honestly my favorite payload map atm. Yeah, it’s got high ground and sniping lanes, but it’s also got multiple flanking routes for each segment and a lot of ways to play creatively.

Though, I imagine it really sucks if you’re the kind of player that just stands behind their tank in a chokepoint / open sightline 99% of the time and completely ignores the sniper repeatedly picking you off because you’d rather focus the enemy Roadhog that takes 5+ minutes to kill.

Those flank routes are easy as heck to shut down if you just keep an eye on them

the colliseum. WE COULDA GONE THRU THE COLLISEUM BUT NOOOOOOO

I like the part that causes the Widowmaker visual glitch.

Deeply disagree. Best new map after Midtown by far.

I literally just wrote this before I saw your post. Me too.

There are so many back entrances, secret tunnels and walls, if you’re using main you’re doing it wrong.

The Defence is too strong and the Attack is a slog over and over again.

It is a very poorly balanced map that speaks about how rushed the development for Overwatch 2 has been. None of the new maps are a Kings Row style map that when you get it you go, Letsss Go!! All the Push maps are total Garbo.

Just another issue with Overwatch
