Angelo's strongest measured map is Bridge Too Far (Heist): 55% over 161 matches (fairly reliable). Its weakest is Kaboom Canyon (Heist): 39% over 66 matches (early signal). 6 maps have at least 30 Angelo matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Angelo loses more often than it wins. The match count tells you how much weight to give each one.

A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:

• reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
• fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
• early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
• too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.

A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Maps and modes with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Angelo is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Angelo scores 5/10.

Gadget: Sweet Dreams — Poisons your next hit: extra damage over time on a sniper shot.

Star Power: Snap Shot — Faster charging means more full shots at maximum range.

Gears: Damage + Speed — You need to charge up and then get away.

Stay at the back, charge fully, and punish every rotation.

As a marksman, Angelo is favoured into tank, fighter, support.

• With your fully charged toxic shot at maximum range you focus Gene: Gene has low HP and a slow attack, and Angelo is considered a direct counter to Gene.
• With your fully charged toxic shot at maximum range you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage, and Angelo is considered a direct counter to Barley.
• With your fully charged toxic shot at maximum range you focus Poco: Poco can barely defend himself.
• With your fully charged toxic shot at maximum range you focus Pam: Pam lacks mobility and her damage falls off at range.

Angelo struggles against assassin, thrower, artillery and on maps that do not support the marksman role.

This is the coaches' view of which modes suit the marksman role of Angelo; the measured win rates per mode are higher up on this page.

• Bounty — fit 8/10
• Knockout — fit 7/10
• Gem Grab — fit 6/10

Map fit from the coaching model, next to the measured best maps above. When the two disagree, trust the one with more matches behind it.

Angelo is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.

Works well alongside Otis.

Skip Angelo when the map layout works against the marksman role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
