10 Infuriating Multiplayer Video Game Levels That Totally Broke You

9. Lijiang Tower - Overwatch

Overwatch's multiplayer maps are mostly pretty well balanced, but there are a small smattering - especially in the base release - that you dreaded would be up next on the rotation.

Lijang Tower was by far the worst offender though. Although other maps could be frustrating because of the many different vantage points and areas you had to keep an eye on, this had the exact opposite problem, with there being few places to truly conquer for a tactical advantage.

The chokepoints around the objectives amounted to little more than small rooms, making explosives almost essential, and turning every battle into a juggling match as you attempted to not get knocked around but also keep an eye on other players.

Throw in the fact that there's plenty of pits you can be knocked into and Lijiang Tower just becomes a total mess, where the luckier team can often bluff their way to a victory.
