Overwatch has so many different maps for players to explore that it may seem hard at first to try and play to the map’s strengths with varying heroes including Ashe.
However, with some practice and experience, players will be able to take their mains into any map that they happen to be thrown into. Be that as it may, there will still be maps that will better suit certain heroes than others.
For those who already main Ashe, these maps may be apparent. But for those who are less experienced with the hero, this article will go over the top 3 maps in Overwatch for Ashe mains.
Overwatch Ashe maps
Ashe is a bit of a tricky hero for players to pin down when looking to pick up as a new main. This is in part because of the range she has on her weapons.
She thrives best in maps with no wide-open areas but with no short corners or turns. This may seem odd that she doesn’t want these, but it all makes sense with a little more playtime.
Ashe’s Viper can act like a semi-automatic rifle as well as a weakened sniper with her Take Aim ability. However, the range of her Viper isn’t very far, and because of that, she will have trouble reaching the spots that a hero like Widowmaker could easily reach.
On the other hand, if Ashe tries to engage in short-distance combat, she will usually lose because she doesn’t always have the necessary damage output to kill an enemy at that distance, where a hero like Roadhog could do that easily.
Now knowing all of this, by adjusting the playstyle to give Ashe a healthy amount of range, she can make the most of her attacks so that she is just within range of opponents to deal a ton of damage while staying in a safe area.
By making the most of Ashe’s primary weapon, she can quickly become a threat to opponents that can be hard to deal with.
Eichenwalde
Eichenwald is an ideal map for Ashe because there is just enough space for her to make the most of her Viper while still not putting herself in danger.
She can easily pop out and take longer-range shots at her opponents to whittle down their health by staying with her team or hiding around a corner.
Even in the later stages of the map, there is still just the proper distance between Ashe and her opponents, which allows her to keep the status quo to stay alive and pick down opponents.
Hanamura
Hanamura can be a problematic map for Ashe at times because of all the walls there are to hide behind. This is a double-edged sword since it can give Ashe some protection and her opponents.
However, Ashe can easily wait patiently with Viper behind a shield for an opponent to show themselves to attack. She can chip in some damage or take an opponent out entirely with a headshot.
While Ashe may not be versed in close-quarters combat, with all of the corners on this map, her Coach Gun can save her hide more than once.
This isn’t used so much for damage but more for protection, so if an opponent tries something funny on a map like this, Ashe should be prepared to fight for her life or run back to her team.
Hollywood
Hollywood is an ideal map for a new or experienced player to take Ashe on. Throughout most of the map, the distance between Ashe and her opponents is the sweet spot that she wants to be in.
She can easily use her Viper to pick down opponents when her team tries to move or halt a payload.
Plus, there aren’t too many hiding places, which allows Ashe to much more easily pick down opponents, especially when she is behind an allied shield. Spaces like this are also perfect to use B.O.B. since he can quickly rush an enemy and force them to step back from an objective.
With few places to hide, Ashe and her team can easily clean up and call it a game.
