The '''Minimap''' is a simplified depiction of the [[map]] from above. It is used in a match to navigate the map, see the location of teammates, and to see any enemy players within the player's or players' teammates line of sight.

In spectator mode, the Minimap has {{PageRef|The Archmother}} side as North and {{PageRef|The Hidden King}} side as South by default.

== Overview ==

=== Things that reveal ~~you~~ to enemies on the minimap ===

=== Reveal Duration ===

When revealed on the minimap, the player remains visible for approximately '''2 seconds''' after the revealing action ends.

=== Things that reveal the player to enemies on the minimap ===

* Shooting enemy [[Troopers]].

* Being targeted or shot at by enemy Troopers.

* Shooting at enemy defensive structures ([[Guardian|Guardians]], [[Walker|Walkers]], [[Shrine|Shrines]], [[Patron]]).

** This includes shooting them from an angle where the structure cannot see or shoot back ~~at you~~. The act of shooting at the structure is what causes ~~you~~ to appear on the enemy minimap, regardless of ~~your~~ location.

** This includes shooting them from an angle where the structure cannot see or shoot back. The act of shooting at the structure is what causes the player to appear on the enemy minimap, regardless of location.

* Being targeted or shot at by enemy defensive structures.

* Being within ~~a certain radius~~ of ~~enemy defensive structures~~.

* Being within an enemy hero's line of sight, within approximately '''50–60 meters'''. Note that this is based on the heroes' line of sight specifically, not the enemy player's. A straight line between the centers of both heroes must be free of vision blockers.

** This can be thought of as the enemy ~~defensive structures having some vision in an area around them~~. ~~They can "see" you, and this causes you to show up on~~ the ~~enemy minimap~~.

** Leaning around a corner only exposes the hero's torso and does not count as line of sight, meaning neither hero will reveal the other on the minimap while one is leaning.

** ~~The radius of this "vision" differs between~~ the ~~types~~ of ~~structures~~, ~~but~~ is ~~shorter than each structure's respective targeting ranges~~.

[[File:~~Deadlock~~ Minimap ~~Max Vision~~ Range.png|thumb|A visual of the maximum range that ~~you~~ will reveal enemy heroes (that are in ~~your~~ line of sight) on the minimap]]

* Being very near an enemy hero (just under light melee range), even if they are facing away. The hero will be revealed even if they are not visible on screen, as long as there are no vision blockers.

* Being in an enemy ~~heroes' line of sight~~, ~~within a certain range~~.

* Activating {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}} on an enemy.

** ~~Important note: This is specific to~~ the heroes' line of sight~~, not~~ the ~~enemy~~ player'~~s line~~ of ~~sight~~.

=== Things that will not reveal the player to enemies on the minimap ===

*** A straight line drawn between the ~~center of both heroes needs to be free of vision blockers~~ in ~~order to reveal~~ the ~~heroes on~~ the ~~minimap~~.

* Standing near enemy Troopers while they are not shooting at or targeting the player.

**** Leaning around a corner exposes only your hero's ~~torso,~~ and ~~so will not reveal you~~ on the minimap ~~in the case that there are enemy heroes around that corner~~.

* Using abilities or items on enemy Troopers or heroes.

**** This means that while leaning around a corner, you will not reveal ~~any enemies that are around that corner~~.

* Being targeted or shot at by an enemy hero from beyond approximately '''50–60 meters''', even if they have line of sight on the player.

* ~~Being very near an enemy hero that is facing away from you~~.

* Enemy Troopers riding a [[Ziplines|zipline]] near or above the player.

** Even if your hero does not appear on the ~~enemy player~~'s ~~screen, you~~ will ~~be revealed~~ on the minimap ~~if you are too close to them (assuming no vision blockers)~~.

* Shooting at summons such as {{HeroIcon|Graves}}' {{AbilityIcon|Borrowed Decree|l1=Ghouls}} or {{AbilityIcon|Jar of Dead|l1=Deadheads}} or deployables such as {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}}' {{AbilityIcon|Mini Turret|l1=Mini Turrets}}.

** The range of ~~this is just less than~~ the ~~maximum range that a light melee will damage~~ them.

* Being hit by summons or deployable abilities (Though it will make the player's portrait appear in the HUD for the hero who summoned the unit).

== Invisibility ==

Invisibility (from {{ItemIcon|Veil Walker}}, {{ItemIcon|Shadow Weave}}, or {{HeroIcon|Haze}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Smoke Bomb}}) prevents revealing under the following rules:

* Breaking invisibility requires: using abilities, shooting, or being within proximity of an enemy hero with line of sight (walls block this).

* '''Exception:''' Haze's Smoke Bomb allows using items and abilities without breaking invisibility or revealing her on the minimap.

* Buildings and objectives do not break invisibility or reveal the player.

* {{HeroIcon|Graves}}' {{AbilityIcon|Borrowed Decree|l1=Ghouls}} will chase invisible players but will not explode on them.

== Hero Interactions ==

* {{HeroIcon|Calico}} cannot be revealed on the minimap while using {{AbilityIcon|Ava}}, even if shot by troopers, guardians, or walkers.

* {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}} will reveal invisible enemies on the minimap when activated.

== Item Interactions ==

* {{ItemIcon|Stalker}} provides wall-hack vision of the target but does not reveal them on the minimap for the team.
