Overwatch 2 Map High Ground Habits

Overwatch 2 high ground is only useful if your supports can still reach you. An island with no peel is a spawn room with extra steps.

Height that sees the objective

If you cannot shoot the point, you are farming. Drop on the next cooldown window.

Tanks who never take high ground gift free sightlines to hitscans.

Off-angles need an exit

One rotation path back to the team. Dead-end perches are snack bars for dive.

When the enemy takes your height, you do not have to retake it heroically. Take a new angle.

Ultimates change the floor

A well-placed ult can make high ground useless. Do not die on a perch for pride.
