Dorado Tips and Strategies
Play Around the Market's Choke Point
The archway before the marketplace in Dorado is infamous for being difficult to push through due to its exceptionally narrow path and numerous vantage points on the defenders' side.
Defending teams should always play to the location's strengths and pick heroes like Ashe and Zarya to hold down the choke point. On the other hand, attacking teams should prioritize picking high-mobility Heroes like Genji and Winston to slip past the choke and reach enemy targets.
Utilize Dorado's High Ground
The section past Dorado's first checkpoint has numerous rooftops and archways that teams can use as vantage points on offense and defense. Heroes that can take full advantage of the section's long sightlines, like Widowmaker and Ana, are particularly strong on this section of the map.
Take Advantage of Map Verticality
Dorado's second and third sections also feature a high vertical skybox and a decent amount of natural cover. Due to this, Heroes with high aerial mobility, like Pharah and Echo, are great picks for attacking and defending the map's two last checkpoints.

Team Explanation
This team composition offers a balance of offense and defense, having high mobility DPS and Supports to deal with foes that make use of Dorado's high ground and a strong defensive Tank to provide cover and secure the payload.
Reinhardt provides excellent cover with his Barrier Field, letting his team safely push the payload and close the gap toward foes using Dorado's high ground. He is also a potent brawler when fighting along the map's tight choke points and narrow streets, dealing heavy damage with Rocket Hammer and Fire Strike and offering excellent crowd control with Charge and Earthshatter.
Genji swiftly maneuvers through flanking routes with Cyber-Agility and Swift Strike to dispatch snipers and other crucial enemy targets. Deflect also lets him safely close the gap in open sniper sightlines. When engaging in team fights around the payload and in Dorado's cramped streets, Genji can quickly tear through multiple enemies with Dragonblade and Swift Strike.
Sojourn is an efficient damage dealer, quickly dispatching foes up close and dealing with snipers with her versatile Railgun, especially when empowered by her Overclock ultimate. Her Power Slide is also a potent horizontal and vertical mobility tool, letting her quickly move from cover to cover and reach Dorado's vantage points. For controlling space and dealing with enemies in the map's choke points, Disruptor Shot provides her with heavy area-based damage that also snares foes.
Lúcio improves his team's mobility with Speed Boost and Amp It Up, letting them secure the payload and close the gap with crucial enemy targets faster. He can also quickly move around Dorado's streets with Wall Ride, allowing him to disrupt foes on the high ground and swiftly reach teammates in need. He also provides ample healing and survivability with Healing Boost and Sound Barrier and effective space control with Soundwave.
Kiriko can cut through Dorado's cramped areas and catch up with her mobile teammates with Swift Step, letting her consistently support them with Healing Ofuda and Kunai. Protection Suzu is also an excellent tool for cleansing debuffs and protecting her teammates from heavy firepower along the map's tight corridors. Kitsune Rush also enhances her team's offensive power, providing them with move speed, attack speed, and cooldown reductions.

Team Explanation
This team composition takes advantage of Dorado's vantage points and tight corridors, having Heroes that excel in close and medium-range firefights and in holding down narrow pathways and choke points.
Zarya efficiently protects herself and her team from aggressive diving heroes with Particle and Projected Barrier, before turning the absorbed damage around with her devastating Particle Cannon. Her Graviton Surge is also incredibly potent in Dorado's tight choke points, especially when combined with her allies' other ultimates.
Ashe provides high burst damage from the map's high ground and along tight choke points with her Viper headshots and Dynamite explosions. Coach Gun also acts as a versatile mobility tool, letting Ashe reach vantage points and safely disengage from fights with its heavy knockback. Ashe's ultimate, B.O.B., helps her team contest payloads while acting as an excellent source of additional damage and crowd control.
Reaper stealthily reaches the enemy team's backline using Dorado's numerous flanking routes and his long-range Shadow Step. From there, he can quickly burst down key enemy targets with his Hellfire Shotguns and eliminate whole teams up close with Death Blossom. His Wraith Form is also a potent survivability tool when combined with the map's ample amount of natural cover.
Ana provides excellent single-target healing and supportive fire with her Biotic Rifle, especially with Dorado's vantage points and ample natural cover. Ana also has strong supportive tools in Biotic Grenade and Sleep Dart, both significantly useful in team fights around the payload. Nano Boost also pairs well with Zarya and Ashe, providing them with increased damage output and survivability.
Mercy pairs well with Dorado's ample natural cover and respectable verticality, efficiently supporting her team with Caduceus Staff and Guardian Angel, especially when empowered by Valkyrie. She is incredibly potent when paired with Ashe and Reaper, providing them with continuous healing and damage boosts. Mercy also provides Resurrect, which has the potential to break stalemates in choke points and turn teamfights around.

D.Va and Winston: These two Tanks are excellent alternatives for aggressive attacking teams, capable of diving with their mobile Damage Heroes to take out crucial enemy targets. Each Hero also offers its own unique defensive utility, with D.Va's Defense Matrix capable of absorbing projectiles and ultimates and Winston's Barrier Projector excelling at controlling space.
Sigma: Sigma's Experimental Barrier and Kinetic Grasp excel at covering his team and smothering advancing enemies along Dorado's narrow pathways. Accretion and Gravitic Flux are also powerful disruptive abilities when used along the map's choke points and cramped spaces, making him a potent alternative tank for attacking and defending teams.
Wrecking Ball: Wrecking Ball is another potent alternative Tank for attacking and defending teams, having high mobility and specializing in disrupting enemy positioning with Roll, Grappling Hook, and Piledriver. Minefield is also an excellent area denial tool when used near the payload and along Dorado's narrow streets.
Alternative Damage
Hanzo: Hanzo is another strong marksman option for defending teams. Reaching vantage points with Wall Climb, he can pick off crucial targets with lethal Storm Bow headshots while providing vital enemy information with Sonic Arrow. Dragonstrike is also a devastating ultimate when used along Dorado's narrow pathways and choke points.
Pharah: If the opposing team lacks hitscan and crowd control, Pharah is a strong Damage pick for both attacking and defending teams. Coupled with her aerial mobility, Rocket Launcher and Barrage can quickly take down groups of foes in the map's choke points and tight corridors.
Soldier: 76: Soldier: 76 is a well-rounded alternative frontline Damage Hero for attacking and defending teams, sporting potent hitscan with Heavy Pulse Rifle and excellent burst damage with Helix Rockets. He can also quickly reposition and maneuver Dorado's flanking routes with Sprint, letting him efficiently attack from multiple angles and set up devastating Tactical Visor plays.
Sombra: Sombra is another potent flanker for both attacking and defending teams, capable of navigating flanking routes unseen with Stealth and disabling and dispatching key enemy targets with Hack. EMP is also a potent ultimate when used in team fights around the payload and along Dorado's narrow streets.
Alternative Supports
Baptiste: Baptiste offers defending teams potent area-based healing with Biotic Launcher and Regenerative Burst while fortifying their positioning with Immortality Field and Amplification Matrix. He can also access Dorado's vantage points with Exo Boost, providing him with better angles for healing allies and shooting foes.
Brigitte: Brigitte is a solid alternative Support for both teams. She reliably follows and assists Damage Heroes in the frontline with Rocket Flail and Inspire and can protect her allies and push away threats in tight choke points with Barrier Shield and Whip Shot. Rally is also useful for attacking and defending payloads, allowing Brigitte to move around faster while providing temporary health to her allies.
Moira: Moira offers potent burst healing and respectable damage output using Biotic Grasp and Biotic Orb, with the latter capable of bouncing around Dorado's narrow paths and choke points. Her Fade gives her excellent mobility and survivability, letting her safely retreat and quickly reach teammates in need.
