Best team compositions for Rooftop Runners
The strongest team composition for Rooftop Runners is Max (Support, 56.8% WR) + Leon (Assassin, 56.5% WR) + Mortis (Assassin, 56.3% WR). Max takes the front of the draft and dictates where the fight happens, while the other two cover the roles support cannot: mid-range trades and objective pressure in Brawl Ball. If one of them is banned, replace it with a brawler of the same class rather than a higher-tier pick of a different role — on Rooftop Runners the layout matters more than raw tier. Each pick links to its full build below so you can copy the exact Star Power, Gadget and gears before you queue.

Counters and picks to avoid on Rooftop Runners
If the enemy team first-picks Max on Rooftop Runners, the counters that hold up are Bolt, Sirius, Barley. They break the range or the engage pattern Max relies on, so the Brawl Ball objective stops being free. On the other side, Penny and Brock are the brawlers to avoid on this map: the cover and lane spacing here punish them before they reach a useful position.
Rooftop Runners Strategy & Positioning
Positioning is everything on Rooftop Runners. Early game, take map control of the central area and key chokes without overextending into enemy cover. Fight when you have a cover or numbers advantage, and retreat to reset when your Super or a teammate is down. Use the map's walls and bushes to bait enemy abilities, then punish the cooldown. In Brawl Ball, track the objective timer and rotate proactively rather than reacting. Avoid greedy pushes that leave your lane open — on Rooftop Runners, disciplined spacing wins more games than raw aggression.
