Well now, if you’re askin’ about the Shambali Monastery tier list, let me tell ya, it ain’t like the old maps we used to know. This one here is a bit tricky, I gotta say. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve spent some time playin’ around in this place, and here’s what I’ve gathered so far, you hear?
First off, the defenders have the upper hand. Yep, you heard me right. A lot of folks been talkin’ about how hard it is for attackers to get anywhere on this map. It’s like the moment you step foot inside, you’re meetin’ a wall. The chokepoints are tight, and there ain’t many places for attackers to hide or get a good angle on the enemy. Seems like it’s always easier for the defenders to hold their ground. That’s somethin’ we see in a lotta these new maps, if you ask me.
Now, if you’re the kind of player who likes to be on the offense, you might find it a little bit frustrating, ‘cause it’s real hard to break through. You gotta be real clever about how you attack and make sure you have a good team coordination. One mistake, and the defenders will take ya down quick. I’ve seen it happen a bunch of times.
But let’s talk about the layout of the place. Shambali Monastery ain’t your average map, no sir. It’s full of all sorts of nooks and crannies, and there’s high ground all over the place. Now, that’s both a blessing and a curse. The defenders love them high spots—they can sit up there and rain down shots, especially with them snipers. But for the attackers, well, you gotta find ways to counter that, or you’ll be stuck tryin’ to push uphill the whole time. It’s all about timing and positioning.
When it comes to hero choices, most heroes can find a way to fit in on Shambali Monastery, but you gotta choose wisely. Some heroes are better for defense, some for offense, and others can work well if you know how to use ’em right. For example, if you’re a healer, you’re gonna wanna pick someone who can keep folks alive through all the chaos. Supports like Baptiste or Zenyatta can be real useful, especially with all that open space for them to maneuver. But if you’re on offense, you might wanna bring out someone like Reaper or Tracer, who can slip around the back and catch the defenders off guard.
Don’t forget about the tanks either. Reinhardt can be a real beast on defense, especially when you’re holdin’ up at them choke points. But on attack? Well, you better be careful, ‘cause it’s easy for the other team to knock ya down. I’d say for attackers, someone like Wrecking Ball or Winston might be a bit more useful, since they can hop around and create chaos. But you gotta be fast, or you’ll end up stuck in a corner, watchin’ the whole team fall apart.
Now, here’s the thing, Shambali Monastery is real close to what I’d call the “Kings Row” tier. That means, it’s balanced well enough where no hero feels completely useless, and the attackers don’t just get free points. You can still win if you play smart and work together as a team, but you gotta know what you’re doin’. No free lunch here, let me tell ya.
Some folks on the forums say it’s one of the best new maps for Overwatch 2, and I kinda agree with that. The layout’s decent, and even though it’s tough on attackers, it’s a map that makes you think. It ain’t just about shootin’—you gotta plan, position, and work with your team to get anywhere.
So, if you ask me, Shambali Monastery is a real mixed bag. It’s got its challenges, sure, but if you know what you’re doin’, it can be a lot of fun. Just don’t go in expectin’ it to be easy, ‘cause it ain’t! It’s all about gettin’ the right heroes, pickin’ the right spots, and workin’ together as a team. But if you get it right, you’ll see that it’s a map where skill really matters.
And that’s about all I can tell ya for now. Good luck, and don’t get too frustrated, alright? The key to this map is patience, and sometimes that’s all you need.
