King's Row Map Guide For Overwatch

King's row in London is a hybrid map where you will first have to take the objective in order to unlock a payload you will have to escort through these narrow twisting streets. There are choke points and sniper positions galore on this map so keep that in mind when picking your defensive heroes if you are on defense, and keep an eye out for them if your are on the offensive.

Objective A)Capture the payload.
Just getting through to the first objective can be a challenge, this is a fairly small map so even if you kill off some of the enemy team they will be back pretty quick. Keep this in mind and press for every advantage you get when you are on the offensive. If you can push through and get on the objective, the enemy has to come through a choke point of their own to get back to you so you can effectively pick them off while you cap the objective. There are a lot of side doors and alleys you can use to sneak through this map and get behind a team though, keep an eye on all of them is hard but do your best to keep an eye out on your flanks and sides no matter what team you are. If you focus all of your efforts on one avenue of attack, it's not hard to go around it.Tracer and Reaper are both great flankers on this map, and if you are on the defensive than someone like Symmetra can be very deadly will some well placed turrets, look for the hotel lobby and set up shop there at the start.

Objective B)Escort the payload through the winding streets of London.
While moving the payload, there are numerous side streets and balconies overlooking the route, be aware of what's going on above you as well as in front of you, and try to get your own snipers to get control of these points to hold back the enemy and either get that payload moving, or pick off anyone standing on it. Reinhardt is great for standing on the payload to push it and protect anyone who helps out on the payload directly since he can defend from sniper fire while other people pick off the snipers from behind him.This is a great map for snipers, both teams should definitely have at least one.
