Map Overview
Colosseo is an Italian push map set in and around the ancient Roman Colosseum, where both teams fight to gain control of a robot and push it toward the enemy's delivery point.
The map features the Colosseum exterior and interior sections, with Roman forum architecture creating varied combat spaces.
The robot starts in the center and must be pushed toward the enemy spawn, with the map's geometry creating distinct push corridors through the forum and coliseum outer ring.
Push maps require teams to constantly maintain robot presence while preventing the enemy from capturing it back.
Attack Strategy
Reach the robot first using sprint abilities and immediately begin pushing it toward the enemy side.
While pushing, have your tank provide barrier cover and your supports stay connected — never let the robot stop moving.
If the enemy captures the robot, commit the entire team to recapturing immediately rather than waiting.
The forum section rewards Earthshatter setups that stall enemy recapture attempts.
Always have at least two players on the robot at all times to maintain push speed.
Defense Strategy
The same principles apply when defending — reach the robot quickly and push it back toward your delivery point.
The coliseum outer ring section gives defenders who hold the elevated arched walkway a significant angle advantage.
When the robot is stopped, commit to an all-in fight rather than passive contesting.
Bank a decisive ultimate to clear enemies from the robot during critical pushes.
Reinhardt's Earthshatter through the forum corridor is extremely effective at stopping enemy robot captures.
Key Positions & High Ground
Forum Elevated Walkway: An overhead passage through the Roman forum that provides dominant angles over the robot's push path.
Coliseum Outer Ring: The ancient stone walkway around the Colosseum exterior that gives high-ground positions over multiple robot push sections.
Forum Side Arches: Recessed stone archways along the forum section that provide cover while maintaining sightlines on the robot.
Central Roman Square: The open area near the robot's starting position where the first robot fight typically occurs.
Chokepoints to Control
The forum's narrow corridor is the primary chokepoint in push direction — teams pushing through this section face fire from both the elevated walkway and the arches.
Clear the elevated walkway before pushing the robot through.
The coliseum approach corridor on the far push side narrows before the delivery point, creating the map's most critical final chokepoint.
Ultimate Usage Tips
Earthshatter through the forum corridor stops enemy robot captures and instantly swings the push direction.
Graviton Surge at the coliseum outer ring catch enemies committed to the robot.
Kitsune Rush accelerates the robot push speed significantly — time it for maximum distance gain.
Tactical Visor clears the elevated forum walkway defenders who are firing down on the robot.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Teams abandon the robot to fight in the forum instead of maintaining presence on the robot — you lose distance every second the robot is uncontested.
Never leave the robot with fewer than two players.
Going 6-versus-6 in the middle of the map while the robot sits uncontested is the most common mistake on all push maps.
Not banking a decisive ultimate specifically for recapturing the robot at critical push moments.
