Thoughts on Circuit Royal?

I rarely ever post, but I have gotten this map 3 times in a row for defense and I have to ask. Am i the only one who absolutely hates this map? I feel like it isn’t worth defending until the third point where there is actually ample amounts of cover. The first to parts are an absolute joke without and cover to really make it hard for the attacking team. Defense always gets steam rolled. Would love to hear others opinions.

I hate it, it’s Widowmaker heaven especially on Defense.

Long straightaways, free high ground for all of the 2nd point, and just a visceral nightmare because of the lack of proper corners/cover.

Also “suck it” Royale. >:(

Its a longer sightline kings row. I am happy with it.

I guess that is fair.

overwatch 2 has been widowmaker friendly compared to ow1. payload maps which have long site lines, push maps have good site-lines. its just the control maps that suck for her. if they put 2cp back into the rotation you would see people play her less also

oh yea and one less tank heh (shields)

Yeah. And they buffed her health.

I…am not a fan. And I have a lot of hours on her lol. She’s gonna get chopped soon.

I’d do anything to have 2 cp back…honestly some of my favorite maps…except paris…screw that map

they might nerf her. wonder how they will do it. probably 175 health. im just hoping its not a rework but if they do i hope they make her an awesome melee hero so people can complain about that also :wink:

The spawn door feels like a choke.

And the entire map is a widowmaker paradise.

Easily the worst map in the current map pool. Should be reworked we just dont need sniper paradise maps.

I hate it. It’s one thing being a snipefest, but point A’s layout is so boring. It’s pretty much Corridor: The Movie: The Game. Definitely my least favourite of the OW2 maps.

I have some bad games on circuit but also good ones. I love pinning people off the map on a, even on defense. B is good lots of cover and bad teams get rolled on third.

I think it’s a map that stimulates the use of different types of heroes, especially in the difference between the open and closed area. I think it’s optimal.

I notice there are responses from people whining because widowmaker does its job in a map. But with a little strategy she actually forces you to be more cooperative with your teammates to get closer to her, mr. “OW2 with its 5v5 makes people more independent”.

The map simply has the strengths and weaknesses of Havana: you have to spend time mainly on the Payload by collaborating all together to have good cover or distraction on the enemy who is in the hills, because then it will be the enemy who will be at a disadvantage in the hills who can use the attackers inside the hotel.

in any case, I think that compared to other maps it invites you better to do the switch hero right.
