Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Shambali Monastery thing in Overwatch for a while now, and I figured I’d share my thoughts on the heroes, kind of a personal tier list, you know?
Getting Started
First off, I jumped into a bunch of games, trying out different heroes on this map. I mean, Shambali Monastery, it’s got those tight corridors, some open spaces, and that final point with the high ground advantage. It’s a cool map, but man, some heroes just feel way better than others here.
Testing Things Out
So, I started with the usual suspects. Tanks first, right? Reinhardt was a beast in those narrow pathways, his shield is a lifesaver. Tried Orisa too, she’s solid, especially with her Fortify ability when things get messy. But then I tried, like, Winston, and it felt a bit off. He’s great, just not on this map, I guess. He wants more open space to jump around, and there isn’t a lot of that here, you feel me?
Then I moved onto DPS. Hitscans like Soldier: 76 and Cassidy felt pretty good, especially on that last point defense. You can hold the high ground and just rain down fire. But then I tried some projectile heroes, like Pharah. It was okay, but the tight spaces sometimes made it tricky to use her rockets effectively. And forget about using her ult in some spots, I kept bumping into walls!
After that, I messed around with supports. Moira was awesome, her healing orbs just bounce around those corridors, it’s insane. And Ana, if you can find a good spot, she’s great for keeping your team alive. But Mercy? I don’t know, it felt like I was getting flanked all the time. Maybe I just suck with her, but it felt tough to stay alive.
Putting It All Together
After playing a bunch of games, here’s how I’d kinda rank the heroes for this map:
- Top Tier: Reinhardt, Moira, Soldier: 76, Cassidy, Orisa, Ana. These guys just felt strong in most situations on this map. Rein’s shield, Moira’s healing, the hitscan damage on the last point, it all just works.
- Mid Tier: Zarya, Roadhog, Junkrat, Hanzo, Brigitte, Zenyatta. They’re not bad, but they’re not always amazing. Like, Zarya needs someone to damage her barriers, and sometimes that’s hard to come by in the tight spaces.
- Bottom Tier: Winston, Pharah, Mercy, Doomfist. I just found these guys tough to play on Shambali. Winston needs space, Pharah’s rockets are a bit awkward here, Mercy felt too vulnerable, and Doomfist? I don’t know, I just couldn’t get him to work.
Wrapping Up
Anyway, that’s my take on the Shambali Monastery heroes. It’s just my opinion, of course. You might have different experiences, and that’s cool. The important thing is to have fun and try out different things. But if you’re struggling on this map, maybe give some of my top-tier picks a try, see if it helps!
And if you have another opinion, share it with me! I am happy to know different ideas.
