If you have a few minutes, we'd greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond!</em></p> </section><section><p><em>Our essential Overwatch hero tier list for Season 21 (April 2020) breaks down the entire roster of characters into their most competitive brackets, with massive guides for each one as well!</em></p> <p><strong>We've tried our best to represent the meta, but don't take our tier list as definitive. Even if some heroes aren't topping our list, they're still capable of being extremely strong in the right situation.</strong></p> <p>We've all got our favourite characters in Overwatch, and although some of them can sometimes appear on paper to be a bit more powerful than others, we take a pretty clear position when it comes to appraising them. All in all we think Blizzard has done an impressive job of crafting a roster of characters which are not only wonderfully distinct from one another, but also pretty well balanced as a collection. The Overwatch team hasn't been shy to introduce buffs and nerfs as and when they've been required, and we only expect the game's tuning to get tighter over time</p> <p>With all this said and done though, it's fair to say that some heroes prove more consistently useful than others when it comes to contributing to a wide variety of team compositions. As a result, we like to provide a regularly updated snapshot of how the heroes stack up against one another, and do so in the form of the tier list you're reading now.</p> <p>How exactly have we gone about compiling our list though? For a start, we take our own experience with the current meta into consideration, before factoring in the generally accepted wisdom of the crowd via alternative hero ratings. We also lean somewhat in our rankings towards playing with other random players, rather than team builds favoured by tightly coordinated competitive teams.</p> <p>All things being equal this list will guide you towards making a solid choice within each category. Having said that, we encourage you to play the characters you enjoy and excel at above all else, and at the same time try to work around the hero picks of your teammates - even if you disagree.</p> </section><section><h2>Editor's Note: April Update</h2> <p><strong>Tier List Update</strong></p> <p>As we move into April, there’s the new ban system to take into account. Every week a number of heroes won’t be available to play in Competitive matches which should make the meta a little more fluid. It also means you’ll have to take the info from this tier list a little differently, as not all heroes are available to play all the time, so it’s not all about the top tiers!</p> <figure class="video " data-commentable="false"><div class="video-container"><iframe width="640" height="390" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" data-src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dRMIOsqYeIQ?wmode=opaque" alt="Please accept cookies to see this iframe."> </iframe></div></figure><p><em>Video by Your Overwatch</em></p> <p>Echo has arrived too and at the time of writing she’s very strong in the right hands. While we don’t think she’s totally broken, if you can master her, you can deal some serious damage thanks to the versatility of her ult coupled with her mobility.</p> <p>We’ve not popped her in this tier list just yet as we reckon it’s a little too early to make a total judgement, especially if Blizzard suddenly decides to nerf her into the ground - which is entirely possible.</p> <p>Elsewhere, McCree’s now back in business alongside Pharaha as they’ve both been buffed a little. Otherwise, this new ban system really does level the playing field somewhat. You can’t get away with just playing the top few heroes, but need to embrace plenty of others as well.</p> </section><section><h2>Overwatch hero ranking and ratings</h2> <p>Here's our Season 21 tier

until now. She's finally in the limelight and it's all thanks to her solid set of abilities which keeps her teammates out of harm's way.</p> <p>All in all, Orisa's a very strong pick as she's able to rally an entire team around her and make them very, very difficult to down.</p> <p><strong>Sigma [Tank]</strong></p> <p>Sigma's a formidable force on the battlefield and that's thanks to his diverse kit. He's able to convert enemy fire into shield juice and can fling shields into chokepoints without putting himself in danger. Oh, and his damage output isn't too shabby either.</p> <p><strong>Baptiste [Support]</strong></p> <p>Baptiste has a pretty high skill ceiling, but if you can get the hang of him, he's one of the strongest healers in the game right now. His invulnerability aura is also a brilliant way to cancel out strong AoE abilities, in particular, Sigma's ultimate.</p> <p><strong>Moira [Support]</strong></p> <p>Moira's orbs can pass through barriers, which makes her an ideal choice in the current meta. She's also able to fade away from aggressive flankers and largely take care of herself if things get a bit sketchy.</p> <p>Essentially, she's definitely a support you can rely on right now.</p> <p><strong>Reaper [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Reaper's a great pick in the barrier meta as he's got strong sustain and the ability to dish out some serious damage. Sure, he's a little one dimensional, but he gets the job done.</p> <p><strong>Doomfist [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Doomfist's mobility and power make him an exceptionally strong pick right now. It also helps his abilities aren't affected by barriers, so he's able to race into the backline and cause some serious damage.</p> </section><figure class=""><a href="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/metabomb/zaryaimgbreak.jpg" class="lightbox"> <img src="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/metabomb/zaryaimgbreak.jpg/EG11/resize/700x-1/quality/70" width="700" height="210" alt="" data-asset-id="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/metabomb/zaryaimgbreak.jpg" data-original-width="600" data-original-height="180" data-aspect-ratio="3.333333333333333"/></a> </figure><section><h2>Tier 2</h2> <p><strong>Zarya [Tank]</strong></p> <p>Zarya’s another tank who’s been a staple for a while and that’s down to the fact that she compliments the likes of Reinhardt and Genji nicely. Her bubble shield can soak up damage from bursty heroes like Zenyatta, Hanzo and Junkrat too, which feeds her energy bar really quickly and builds her strong Ultimate ability.</p> <p>Zarya’s Ultimate also combos well with Hanzo’s Dragonstrike, Reinhardt’s Earthshatter and many more besides. She’s a super flexible pick who’s able to wrench her allies out of danger while increasing her power at the same time.</p> <p><strong>D.Va [Tank]</strong></p> <p>D.Va's still a formidable force on the battlefield and that's down to her great all-rounder style. She's got insane mobility, negates ultimates and can harass the backline with ease. There's almost always a slot in the composition for D.Va to fit into and that says volumes about how much of an asset her kit can bring to a team.</p> <p><strong>Reinhardt [Tank]</strong></p> <p>Reinhardt’s seen a slight dip since the glory days of GOATs comp, but he's still a great pick in certain situations. It’s all thanks to his huge barrier that can protect an entire backline, as well as the devastating potential of a correctly timed Earthshatter. He can hold a team together and simultaneously crush an opposing one in a matter of seconds.</p> <p><strong>Winston [Tank]</strong></p> <p>Winston one occupied the very highest spot on our tier list during "The Age of the Dive Meta". He's definitely not what he once was, but he's certainly still a strong pick that'll head up a dive composition when you need one.</p> <p>Also, his electrifying Tesla Cannon damages enemies through barriers, which is a major plus at the moment.</p> <p><strong>Sombra [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Sombra's disruptive abilities are perfect for dismantling compositions who revolve around shields - one simple hack can bring down an entire defense.</p> <p><strong>Ana [Support]</strong></p> <p>While she's not totally meta, in our eyes, she's still a very strong pick. Her kit is flexible and she can shower allies with plentiful healing if things get rough. While the number of barriers flying around right now might hinder her ability to top up her team, she's still worth locking in if you need a strong support.</p> </section><figure class=""><a href="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://images.eurogamer.net/2016/metabomb/lucioimagebreak.jpg" class="lightbox"> <img src="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://images.eurogamer.net/2016/metabomb/lucioimagebreak.jpg/EG11/resize/700x-1/format/jpg/quality/70" width="700" height="393" alt="" data-asset-id="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://images.eurogamer.net/2016/metabomb/lucioimagebreak.jpg"/></a> </figure><section><h2>Tier 3</h2> <p><strong>Lucio [Support]</strong></p> <p>In solid hands Lucio can shine as brightly in a random team as he does in truly collaborative pre-made efforts, and although he doesn't have a huge amount of health to play with - and his weapon projectiles are rather wobbly to deliver - his exceptional versatility, flexibility and ability to sustain his teammates and rush them back into action makes him a strong pick for any team.</p> <p>We recognise that he's a solid pick, but we've placed him mid tier as there are some stronger options out there in terms of Support heroes right now.</p> <p><strong>Genji [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Genji’s skillset revolves around harassing enemies with Shurikens and closing down vulnerable targets. Shields and armour make his job much harder, especially as many enemies in the meta are now able to stun or burst him down in seconds. </p> <p>If you can skillfully blend his amazing mobility skills and precision aiming together though, consider placing him a tier higher than he currently is. More than most heroes, how Genji is ranked by anyone is determined largely by your own ability at playing him. Just be warned that it's now a really tough gig...</p> <p><strong>Pharah [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Now her AoE damage has been buffed, Pharah’s a pretty strong force on the battlefield again. Of course, she’s still a prime target for a skilled sniper but if you’re able to evade their crosshairs you can cause some serious headaches for the opposing team.</p> <p><strong>McCree [Damage]</strong></p> <p>We really enjoy McCree's point and click style. Plus, his burst damage is through the roof if you land his stun, fan the hammer combo.</p> <p>This hero comes with a caveat, however, in that you'll need quick reactions to succeed in just about any of the many duels you're likely to find yourself in. If you're clumsy with your shots, consider McCree a much lower pick. Having said that, his Flashbang grenade ability is amazing for locking down a squishy kill, and anyone who manages to master this hero can expect to make a serious difference to a team's performance on any given map or game mode. Put simply, if you expect lots of close-quarters combat, McCree is an exceptionally potent force on the battlefield.</p> <p><strong>Tracer [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Tracer's similar to Genji in nearly every respect. She's a phenomenal flanker who's capable of terrorising the enemy backline or gradually whittling down tank health bars - but only in the right hands. She's so mechanically intensive that this pick may not work in your favour.</p> <p>Unless you’re extremely good, you’re likely to do no more than be a nuisance.</p> <p><strong>Widowmaker [Damage]</strong></p> <p>She's a frightening force in the right hands and able to dink enemies and get picks across the map with ease. However, you need to know how to play her right, both positionally and mechanically.</p> <p>Against all the barriers it can be difficult to find the right targets right now too. Unless you're a hardened Widowmaker veteran, you'll likely struggle to make a big impact in this meta.</p> <p><strong>Roadhog [Tank]</strong></p> <p>Overwatch's largest fluctuator finds himself back in the lower end of our tier list again.</p> <p>Roadhog's hooks still deliver pick potential, but with the sheer number of shields out there on the battlefield right now, it's landing the hook successfully which is the real problem. What's more, he doesn't have any way of protecting himself, so he can often turn into a Ultimate generator for the other team if he isn't careful.</p> <p>All in all, there's value to be had in the right team composition. However, you're better off picking another tank at the moment.</p> <p><strong>Wrecking Ball [Tank]</strong></p> <p>We're not completely sold on Wrecking Ball. He's got some great utility, but he's only a decent pick if you're playing in a tightly coordinated team. Otherwise, we've found he's difficult to play with and around, especially as he zips around the map doing his own thing.</p> <p>All in all, D.Va's just a better all-round pick who can still fulfill the same role as Wrecking Ball without potentially throwing the team into disarray.</p> <p><strong>Junkrat [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Junkrat’s still holding pretty strong in the DPS role thanks to his immense burst damage that’s perfect for breaking shields and shutting down the frontline. Much like Hanzo, he’s remarkably agile and players can really struggle to deal with his constant barrage of bombs.</p> <p><strong>Torbjorn [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Torbjorn's also another hero who's seen a significant rise in ranking, and that really is saying something. He's not moved up a tier since the game first launched!</p> <p>Blizzard's rework has given Torbjorn a new lease of life and he's now not quite as linear as he used to be. He's surprisingly strong in the right hands and is more than capable of peeling for his teammates and holding down positions - don't underestimate everyone's favourite dwarven engineer.</p> <p><strong>Zenyatta [Support]</strong></p> <p>Zenyatta's a key pick for most compositions and is often a perfect counter and compliment to whatever's strong in the meta. His Transcendence is capable of negating damage, and his Discord and Healing Orbs are great for both removing vulnerable targets and ensuring allies are kept in the green.</p> </section><section><p><strong>More great Overwatch guides:</strong></p> <ul><li>1.

Her Coach Gun is brilliant at knocking away incoming threats like Winston and Genji, while her Dynamite can damage enemies through shields which is perfect for sieging chokepoints.</p> <p>Unfortunately, we're just not convinced she's a top tier pick yet. She's got all the tools to have a huge impact in a match, but it's all down to the skill of the player.</p> <p><strong>Soldier: 76 [Damage]</strong></p> <p>It's a little tempting at first glance to think that Soldier: 76 is just another boring run-and-gun hero - and it's no accident that he's the first character you encounter during the game's tutorial - and yet there's plenty of mastery to be had here despite this surface simplicity. His DPS is very strong, his Sprint ability allows him to get back into the thick of battle nice and quickly, and that group heal can often mean the difference between victory or a rather embarrassing group wipe. He's a solid all-rounder really, and one that shines in skilled hands.</p> <p><strong>Hanzo [Damage]</strong></p> <p>As always, it's extremely difficult to play against a Hanzo who's landing all their shots and scurrying across the map with ridiculous speed.</p> <p>If you can land your shots, Hanzo’s arrows are fantastic at breaking all the barriers currently floating around. He’s also highly mobile, and can pick off unsuspecting enemies with his huge damage numbers, meaning he’s an ideal pick when you’re on the offense.</p> <p><strong>Mei [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Not only does Mei have a whole truckload of annoying crowd-control abilities to frustrate the enemy team with, she can also summon down a massive wall of ice that provides a super-annoying barricade for your future victims to have to deal with. Her excellent, immobilising Ultimate ability does require you to have a team who are savvy enough to capitalise on the opportunity though, so if you're queuing up for a match with randoms make sure you let them know when you pull the trigger.</p> <p>In a well-organised team, she's a menace for the opposition to deal with. Expect your teammates to roll your eyes a bit when you choose her, though.</p> <p><strong>Brigitte [Support]</strong></p> <p>Brigitte's not really much of a healer, but she functions amazingly well as an off-tank who provides some additional frontline presence as well as the ability to armour up her allies.</p> <p>On top of all this, she synergises well with many shield-based heroes, and can switch from being defensive to stunning an enemy down in the blink of an eye. The utility she provides is exceptional but there's one big catch, and we've mentioned it already - she's not much of a healer. For a brawl setup, perfect. If you’re not going for an aggressive setup, you’ll likely struggle.</p> <p><strong>Mercy [Support]</strong></p> <p>Mercy provides strong, reliable single-target healing and an Ultimate ability that gives her serious survivability while giving her teammates an extra chance at life. Not as invaluable as she once was, but a solid pick in the right situation.</p> </section><figure class=""><a href="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://images.eurogamer.net/2016/metabomb/overwatchtierlistaugustbastion.jpg" class="lightbox"> <img src="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://images.eurogamer.net/2016/metabomb/overwatchtierlistaugustbastion.jpg/EG11/resize/700x-1/format/jpg/quality/70" width="700" height="393" alt="" data-asset-id="//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://images.eurogamer.net/2016/metabomb/overwatchtierlistaugustbastion.jpg"/></a> </figure><section><h2>Tier 5</h2> <p><strong>Bastion [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Bastion's sat at the bottom of our tier list for a while now, but Season 13 is the first time we've had to seriously consider bumping him up a notch. In a weird "meta-twist" (a term we've just coined), he's actually ridiculously strong and capable of turning enemies to pixellated dust.</p> <p>While many are losing their minds over this at high tiers of play, it's unlikely to effect your average competitive match. You need a coordinated team and a specific composition to pull off a Bastion play, something which doesn't come naturally when queueing up in solo queue.</p> <p>All in all, Bastion’s got some situational strengths, but he’s a linear hero who’s easily countered and only effective in niche scenarios.</p> <p><strong>Symmetra [Damage]</strong></p> <p>Symmetra's rework has been huge and when you look at her new kit on paper, it certainly gives off the impression that she'll now have a big impact on the competitive scene. Unfortunately this isn't the case.</p> <p>She's still a niche hero with damaging abilities that really don't match up to the likes of Genji, Tracer or even Doomfist. She lacks their mobility and "punch" when it comes to harassing opponents or pulling off an explosive combination of moves that'll eliminate enemies in a split second.</p> <p>She'll need a buff or two to see any sort play, but in the right hands she can at least have some impact.</p> </section></section> </div> </main> <footer> <div data-type="social-buttons" data-sites="facebook,twitter,google,reddit" data-title="Overwatch Tier List Season 21 (April 2020) - Best hero characters" data-hashtags="#overwatch" data-lang="Share this:" class="social-buttons"></div> </footer> </article> <div class="low-leaderboard collapsible"> <div class="lazyload" id="div-gpt-ad-META_LEADERBOARD" data-dfp-id="META_LEADERBOARD" data-dfp-sizes="728x90" data-dfp-collapse="true" data-dfp-targeting="site=metabomb.net"></div> </div> <div class="recommendations"> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-format="autorelaxed" data-matched-content-ui-type="image_stacked,image_stacked" data-matched-content-rows-num="5,2" data-matched-content-columns-num="1,4" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4560360103312331" data-ad-slot="3762897417"></ins> </div> <script> function runGMC() { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = '//web.archive.org/web/20200620214654/https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s); } </script> <div class="comments-section" id="comments"> <a name="comments"></a> <p class="section-title large"><span>Comment on this article</span></p> <p class="message-bar">Comments on this article are now closed.

Her ult is unbelievably good, blocking heals from Ana and Bastiste, who are favourites in this meta. <br/> <br/> TL;DR<br/> Hitscan is bad, Widow is unplayable, easily F tier, and just play Reaper, Doom and Symm, even if you never have before, because their skill floors are unbelievably high. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-4739" data-karma="0" data-date="1559179328" data-number="3" data-author="Ross-the-Chihuahua"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/Ross-the-Chihuahua" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/Ross-the-Chihuahua" class="username">Ross-the-Chihuahua</a> <a href="#comment-3" name="comment-3" class="count">#3</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/rsj1029" rel="nofollow">@rsj1029</a> "Zarya is tier one that shit is unbelievable"<br/> <br/> Actually, Zarya is arguably one of the best tanks in the game.

The coaches aren’t going to call for a swap after they’ve been practicing for so long. Actually the whole part talking about what’s meta and what the pros are doing is annoying and misleading to me simply because organized team play is vastly different from ladder play and shouldn’t even be counted when trying to make a “tier list” in the first place.<br/> <br/> So the reason I think a Tier List is a dumb idea for Overwatch is because every character is viable, and every character can be effective against characters they counter and comps they counter. Not only that but ladder play is different from team play and low elo is different from high elo. You could make a case to argue for every single hero that’s not in “Tier 1.” <br/> <br/> Wrecking ball? His recent shield buff is insane and he is so good at displacing and making space. Easily a higher tier. <br/> <br/> Sombra? Broken. You can have a game winning ult every other fight and contrary to this article, she is <i>not</i> highly situational. You can use her against any comp on any map (unless you get countered) because her ult literally just nullifies abilities. <br/> <br/> Orisa and Bastion are both extra prevalent in the current Bunker comps, Hanzo and Widow are both incredible picks as they are one shot characters... Baptiste is incredible.. they’re all pretty incredible picks. <br/> <br/> In fact the only ones I would really steer away from are:<br/> <br/> Moira: because when you have the option for Ana/Bap/Mercy why would you go Moira? She offers no utility compared to the other three. You can argue her healing but supports are <i>supports</i> not healers, utility is necessary.<br/> <br/> Tracer: because her pulse bomb is basically nullified with it’s weaker damage. (A Widowmaker headshot does the same amount of damage as her pulsebomb) And flankers have fallen off even more because of Baptiste.<br/> <br/> But even then these picks can still thrive with good gameplay and into the right comp.<br/> <br/> The reason tier lists work for games like League of Legends, is because in League of Legends there are no hero swaps and balance patches are pushed out every two weeks. In Overwatch, updates are scarce and actively switching to counter your opponent is encouraged. Therefore the ‘tier list’ means basically nothing. <br/> <br/> A “Tier 4” Soldier easily counters a “Tier 3” Pharah. <br/> A “Tier 5” Sombra easily counters a “Tier 2” Dva or a “Tier 1” Reinhardt.<br/> <br/> And if you were to argue that Soldiers can’t always hit Pharahs or something similar then I would agree, but that just proves that a tier list is even more silly because clearly personal skill weighs so heavily into a matchup. If you wanted to create a ‘proper tier list,’ you’d want to compare every hero at the same “ideal skill level.” (which by the way that would instantly bump Widow and Hanzo to ‘Tier 1’ because of their one shot attacks) Additionally, you’d also need to create separate lists for Low Elo and High Elo. (Hint, Reaper and Pharah are widely more picked in low elo than in high elo.) <br/> <br/> Additionally, throughout this article you keep writing about “the meta” when it <i>doesn’t matter</i> because the majority of Overwatch ladder players don’t even play meta anyway. Off meta picks are extremely viable. Everything is extremely viable. Because ladder play is scuffed and swapping heroes is encouraged. Not only that but some heroes are better on certain maps too. A lower tier Mei can easily dominate a highest tier Reinhardt on Hanamura. <br/> <br/> <br/> <b>In conclusion:</b> I think the whole idea of an Overwatch tier list is dumb and misleading. Because every hero is completely viable. You just need to know when to play them and how to play them. It’s less about who you play and more about HOW you play. And you keep going on about the meta and what the pros do but what the pros do doesn’t even matter because organized play is SUPER different from ladder play. And low elo is even more different from high elo. <br/> <br/> I suggest scrapping the whole tier list. This isn’t league or dota. Counterpicking your opponent is super encouraged. Instead of going on about “what heroes are best” (because it’s super situational and depends on the map, your team, and the opponents team) I would just keep the guides and instead make a post covering meta team comps and how to counter them. (Bunker, Dive, 3 forms of goats, triple tank dive, regular dive, orisa/hog, rein/zarya, etc.) Or, even better, make posts on good synergies and which heroes to pick for which situations since that’s far more helpful than trying to say “what’s good and what’s bad.” Or write posts on game sense, ult tracking, positioning, and healing priority. <br/> <br/> <br/> There’s so many better posts you could have made instead of this one. I get the effort, but it’s a silly thing to make about a game that relies so heavily around counters.<br/> <br/> Thanks if you read this far. I’m passionate about this so I made an account just to type this reply lol. Sorry for any spelling errors. I play in high elo and i just... don’t get this. I could write a lot more but this is too long already. :( This frustrates me and just makes me want to write my own guides. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-4028" data-karma="0" data-date="1546830477" data-number="6" data-author="ShadowWolf14"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/ShadowWolf14" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/ShadowWolf14" class="username">ShadowWolf14</a> <a href="#comment-6" name="comment-6" class="count">#6</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Sorry for the double comment but also move lucio upto tier 2, hes played so much in owl for a resona </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-4027" data-karma="0" data-date="1546830376" data-number="7" data-author="ShadowWolf14"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/ShadowWolf14" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/ShadowWolf14" class="username">ShadowWolf14</a> <a href="#comment-7" name="comment-7" class="count">#7</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Ok look moira is often laughed at by pro players and even gm players, her being tier 1 is far from it, shes got good healing and has dps but others not that much else and is closs range, id even put him at tier 3.

That's why we really appreciate comments like yours.<br/> We'll make some adjustments to our tier list with the feedback you've given us, and we'll do our utmost to keep this page updated when the rework fiesta + Ashe has happened. <br/> Thanks again! </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3792" data-karma="0" data-date="1541516641" data-number="10" data-author="DirtyJoe"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/DirtyJoe" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/DirtyJoe" class="username">DirtyJoe</a> <a href="#comment-10" name="comment-10" class="count">#10</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Hey, I just want to start by saying that I've been following this list for a VERY long time and it has always been the best out there without a doubt. I only just made an account in order to make this comment.<br/> <br/> There are four characters which I believe should be moved down just one tier. These being D.Va, Mercy, Moira, and Junkrat. I think as you go higher in rank and there is better team coordination Moira and Junkrat become less effective when compared with other picks. Mercy just isn't very good at all right now, and it's even arguable that Lucio is a stronger pick. Also The Zarya/Rein tank combo is the most used and strongest at the moment so I don't quite understand why D.Va would be higher than Zarya.<br/> <br/> It seems to me that D.Va and Moira have been put in tier 1 on this list in order to have the heroes more spread to keep the list looking "pretty". But I would argue that Ana and Rein really are that strong right now that they are THE god tier and you shouldn't worry about how the list looks. It makes sense that tier 3 would have the most characters in it anyway, as it is a (mostly) balanced game.<br/> <br/> I think that MAYBE Doomfist and Brigitte should be in tier 1. However with the Torb rework, the coming hero changes, and addition of Ashe to the game, who knows what will happen to the meta? I thank you for your fine work! </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3707" data-karma="0" data-date="1535718931" data-number="11" data-author="MetaEd"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/MetaEd" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2017/community/users/9/8/9/4/3/3/user-989433-originalxoriginal-9-41-18.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/MetaEd" class="username">MetaEd</a> <a href="#comment-11" name="comment-11" class="count">#11</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/iris12229" rel="nofollow">@iris12229</a> Thanks for this really detailed reply and analysis, honestly, it's been extremely helpful!<br/> We've been struggling to keep up with the meta lately due to various circumstances and comments like these are just what we need to get caught up with things.<br/> We've also dropped you a shout out in the tier list itself and done our best to rejig the standings so that all the heroes are now more accurately ranked. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3676" data-karma="0" data-date="1534170657" data-number="12" data-author="iris12229"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/iris12229" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/iris12229" class="username">iris12229</a> <a href="#comment-12" name="comment-12" class="count">#12</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Brigitte was tier 1 at release, but after the nerf and the meta change in general, she is still tier 2, but her lack of consistent healing means she only works in specific comps (or as a counterpick to dive). I would not place her above Zenyatta necessarily.<br/> <br/> Pharah is tier 3 at the highest (not tier 2). Very useful in niche situations, and as a counterpick, but gets weaker as the tiers get higher and Widowmakers can aim better.<br/> <br/> Soldier is not tier 2 (maybe tier 4). Maybe in Bronze/Silver/Gold he is high-tier. But the problem is that there is a better DPS for every situation (i.e. Hanzo for burst damage or Tracer/Genji for mobility/flanking). Soldier gets mauled in the frontline and dived in the backline. And he can't contest snipers.<br/> <br/> Reaper is low tier - not mid-tier. There is a better DPS for every situation. He has a big hitbox, moves slowly for a flanker and unlike other flankers, must be extremely close to deal any damage. He also has one of the easist to counter Ultimates in the game.<br/> <br/> DVa at tier 3 is underrated. While comps are more static and Brigitte exists, she still is often used as the the 3rd tank to round out the triple tank line-up with some mobility, burst damage and damage negation. She negates ultimates or at least limits where/when they can be positioned - even at the pro level.<br/> <br/> Doomfist is not low tier - in fact he's stronger than most of the DPS heroes ranked above him. He has a low pickrate due to his very high learning curve, but he is arguably the best flanker in the game due to his superb mobility, tankiness, ability to be used for anti-dive/backline protection and ability to be played in brawly comps with his team. The ammount of combos at his disposal is insane, alongside an Ultimate that saves his life, nets him a kill, restores a portion of his health, gives him great mobility, zones the enemy team out and prepares him for his next dive. <br/> <br/> Hammond is not as bad as people say, but ranking him higher than Orisa, Roadhog and Winston is a stretch when we haven't seen him perform much yet. The tanks are mostly in a balanced postion at the moment. Winston is arguably a superior dive-tank to Hammond due to much quicker mobility when diving and, of course, being a shield tank that disrupts the sightlines of DPS/snipers.<br/> <br/> I do agree with the majority of choices on this list. Sombra has been seen in high level play a lot recently, but she still requires teamwork that most people will never find to make her as good as other DPS. On certain maps, Bastion is very strong, but in general I would agree with the bottom tier.<br/> <br/> Widowmaker as mid-tier is a tough call because the variance between a casual, mid-level and pro Widow are vast. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3645" data-karma="0" data-date="1533126447" data-number="13" data-author="s2nature"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/s2nature" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/s2nature" class="username">s2nature</a> <a href="#comment-13" name="comment-13" class="count">#13</a> <span class="timestamp">A year ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Here is my analysis.<br/> 8/1 Hero Tier<br/> https://gyazo.com/61b9d3f5d9b7bc28b5b78184fd5477d0<br/> <br/> Original file [Google Sheets]<br/> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_FEfd39nrjaCkQ8atlnZbxzN15m3vZPdDF2Iw1CbUX8/edit?usp=sharing<br/> <br/> For your information.

Thanks for taking the time to sign up and give such detailed feedback. I think you've hit the nail on the head with some of this stuff in terms of timing. With regards to Brigitte / Hanzo we've made some notes just above the tier list which explains some of the current thinking. This should be fixed in the next update which will likely take place tomorrow.<br/> <br/> We have a very general, wide-reaching audience for Overwatch, sitting at many places in terms of ranking. For that reason we have to strike a tricky balance between what's useful advice for people of different capabilities and playstyles - solo queue, pre-made and so on.<br/> <br/> We do have an article on the best heroes for beginners, and so I agree the focus should probably be more on the hero's position in the meta independent of mechanical difficulty. We'll have a think about how best to handle that in time for the next update and having your feedback is very useful.<br/> <br/> I'm actually on holiday now until next week, so apologies for the delay in getting back to you on any replies to this. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3506" data-karma="0" data-date="1527759680" data-number="15" data-author="Phosphophyllite"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/Phosphophyllite" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/community/users/1/0/3/7/8/6/4/user-1037864-originalxoriginal-9-49-14.png/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/Phosphophyllite" class="username">Phosphophyllite</a> <a href="#comment-15" name="comment-15" class="count">#15</a> <span class="timestamp">2 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> So this comes up first when I search "Overwatch tier list" on google. Seems like you released it a day after it became outdated (Brigitte being released in competitive on April 30th and all). I guess if you're putting these out on a monthly basis it's a case of unfortunate timing.<br/> <br/> Some feedback, I think it would be helpful if - in your hero blurbs - you more consistently included some notes about what the characters match up well with/against and why that warrants their ranking. I'm not here to tell you which hero should be ranked where; I'm not your target audience. That being said, if you're giving Zenyatta a t2 rating because you feel he matches up well against Tracer and Genji it only makes sense to ask yourself why you consider countering Genji and Tracer so important. If other players at your reader's rank are playing those characters well enough that they need to be countered, why assume your reader is incapable of doing so?<br/> <br/> This begs the question; Is the goal of your piece to give your reader some ideas for characters that are easy to pick up? Is it a tier list at all? Or should it be titled "Top 26 Overwatch Heroes That Are Immediately Rewarding To Play?" Right now it seems like you're trying to do both and I think ultimately you could be getting two good articles out of this research instead of one misleading one. The purpose of a competitive tier list is not to put warning labels on Tracer and Widowmaker because they require aiming mechanics (if your readers never practice their aim, it will never improve). However, a list of suggestions for easy heroes to learn would be a great place for those words of caution.<br/> <br/> I see in your most recent edit that a revamp of this list is forthcoming and with the meta comp being more or less set-in-stone it should be relatively easy to rank. I hope you consider including explanations of why the Zarya/Hanzo ult combo is so valuable in a healing heavy meta, and how Mercy's damage boost interacts with spirit dragon vs a defensive transcendence. Congrats on being the top result on google search. Keep it up, the community is counting on you. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3410" data-karma="0" data-date="1525909632" data-number="16" data-author="gsekai"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/gsekai" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/gsekai" class="username">gsekai</a> <a href="#comment-16" name="comment-16" class="count">#16</a> <span class="timestamp">2 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> even it tier 3 i use hanzo </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3188" data-karma="0" data-date="1518608557" data-number="17" data-author="Jambonbadil"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/Jambonbadil" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/Jambonbadil" class="username">Jambonbadil</a> <a href="#comment-17" name="comment-17" class="count">#17</a> <span class="timestamp">2 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Hey which base do you use to build this meta game?

Lucio is a much worse pick then zenyatta right now. Look at pro pickrate and look at high elo streamers. Mercy + zenyatta is run in almost every game. Transcendence > sound barrier, discord is very strong, and you can harmony orb your mercy to keep her alive. You put lucio in tier 1 and zenyatta in tier 2. Another issue is reinhardt and zarya being above orisa. Many high elo streamers say picking reinhardt is throwing when you can pick Orisa. People like eviltoaster have said that right now orisa is better in every way compared to reinhardt. There are very few exceptions to this (like last point numbani). You can never win the shield war with reinhardt because reinhardt cant shoot and shield at the same time. Reinhardt also heavily relies on lucio being meta, which he isn't right now. Roadhog is better than zarya right now. This is because reinhardt is very bad and roadhog pairs much better with Orisa.<br/> <br/> Simply put. <br/> <br/> Characters that were overrated:<br/> Lucio <br/> Ana <br/> Moira (terrible with dive and bad defensive ult)<br/> Reinhardt <br/> Mei<br/> <br/> Characters that were underrated:<br/> Zenyatta <br/> Roadhog <br/> Orisa <br/> Widowmaker <br/> Tracer </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3116" data-karma="0" data-date="1515112419" data-number="21" data-author="CyberCelebi"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/CyberCelebi" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/CyberCelebi" class="username">CyberCelebi</a> <a href="#comment-21" name="comment-21" class="count">#21</a> <span class="timestamp">2 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> i'm sorry, but I don't agree with the majority of this.

This could be coming from a salty Symmetra/Ana main, but this list is very off. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-3041" data-karma="0" data-date="1511896665" data-number="22" data-author="Jonseredi"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/Jonseredi" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/Jonseredi" class="username">Jonseredi</a> <a href="#comment-22" name="comment-22" class="count">#22</a> <span class="timestamp">2 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> This tier list isn't accurate at all.

It takes 4 DIRECT hits to Mcree or Hanzo to kill. When Mcree can one shot or 6 rapid-fires Pharah AFTER he stuns. Pharah's rockets are low damage and slow moving. Her reloads are manageable. Against Mei, Pharah is almost unbearable in close quarters. So doing damage at a distance is ok. But don't forget about Widowmaker. I hunt Widowmakers and Mcrees specifically. One, to try and get them to aggro-quit and two, just to mess with them and have the satisfaction of killing them.

too I included them on my normal playtime, and I can safely say that Pharah needs to be in the air to use her rockets and concussive blast at her best, Pharah's rockets can't bounce either, unlike Junkrat's grenades, he has a trap that can hardly be seen and the mine is also a scarecrow for the enemy team (if they aren't that braindead to go against him in a corridor anyway xd).<br/> Good thing

T2, she's still good, but Zen has just insane dps, 50% discord is no joke, no way Mercy is better than Zen, not even with that rez of hers, and Mercy requires a team that can protect her, she has a gun but unlike Zen she has lower dps and no hitscan, Zen's orbs are easier to hit the target as well, also Zen is so ridicoulusly strong that he might even be better than Lucio as solo healer, after nerf (30% discord) he will still be viable, but I hope all the alternative healers will be picked in competitive, and thanks to the double healer meta even less Lucio and more of Zen / Ana, Zen / Mercy, Ana / Mercy and so on, right now Zen is T1 at the very least, his ult charges pretty fast as well.<br/> Mercy's ult isn't as good as Zen's FOR SOLOQ, because most of the time you will rez 1 or 2 ppl, at that point it's just better to put a discord on an enemy and ult right after that to prevent them from dying, after rez they will die again anyway (cuz rest of team is probably dead or your braindead Reinhardt / D.Va is trying to catch that Lucio), and last but not least after Zen buff Mercy was never picked, even Ana saw some play with Zen (Overwatch Open, still watching, I'm halfway through the playlist on YouTube).<br/> Genji in T3? If you can use him quite well you can do massacre on the enemy team, I can average 30 elims in most matches when I go him, it doesn't require team coordination that much, I don't understand why he's T3. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-953" data-karma="0" data-date="1471806966" data-number="45" data-author="aboali4u22"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/aboali4u22" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/aboali4u22" class="username">aboali4u22</a> <a href="#comment-45" name="comment-45" class="count">#45</a> <span class="timestamp">3 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> First of all i looked for Zenyatta, when i saw him on T4 I stoped, this list has no credibility...

He's the go to off support in every team. Lucio offers great aoe heals but he doesn't offer the single target heals the team needs. Zenyatta covers that role and he covers it better than Mercy does imo.<br/> <br/> Defense heroes are just bad period and they're bad in pubs too. The only reason some defense heroes have a high win rate is because the defense team usually wins in bottom to low level games, regardless of what they pick. Unorganized teams just have a hard time breaking a defense, even if the defense team has zero defense heroes.<br/> <br/> Torb, for example, just happens to only be picked on defense teams 99% of the time. His win rate gets skewered from the fact that defense was going to win regardless of who's on the team. That doesn't mean torb is good. It just means that he's only picked on team defense. <br/> <br/> The fact that bastion has a 52% win rate despite mainly only being picked on defense teams shows how effing bad that hero is. Big surprise that a sitting duck hero is easy to counter. You're actually better off with two Mccrees than one Mccree and one Bastion.<br/> <br/> Mei, Junkrat, widowmaker, and hanzo are all awful too. Offense heroes outclass defense heroes, even when you are playing on defense. Pharah offers more reliable damage and zoning control than junkrat, widowmaker was overnerfed, and hanzo is just a worse widowmaker who doesn't fill a role you need, and mei may very well be the worst hero in the game. All defense heroes deserve rank 5 with bastion and mei at the bottom. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-923" data-karma="0" data-date="1470416747" data-number="47" data-author="Anjay"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/Anjay" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/Anjay" class="username">Anjay</a> <a href="#comment-47" name="comment-47" class="count">#47</a> <span class="timestamp">3 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> This list is pretty bad...

About Zenyatta as example, you're talking about bad damage output when his lmb attack combined with e is one of the most heaviest dmg outputs there are in this game. You are able to kill reinhardt with full hp in 4 hits while he has E on him. Also zenyatta can be played pretty defensively because of his high range and the possibility to heal your teammates from a very far away range. Soon he will be at tier 1-2, when people start to get good at this game. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-791" data-karma="0" data-date="1465082358" data-number="65" data-author="WowBadGuide"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/WowBadGuide" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/WowBadGuide" class="username">WowBadGuide</a> <a href="#comment-65" name="comment-65" class="count">#65</a> <span class="timestamp">4 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> Worst guide out there Mei a tier 4 wow you have not played the game and junkrat at tier 3 they should both be tier 1 please play the game before posting this shit again. </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment" id="comment-773" data-karma="0" data-date="1464411431" data-number="66" data-author="TheDoc013"> <div class="user"> <span href="/people/TheDoc013" class="avatar" style="background-image:url(https://web.archive.org/web/20200620214654im_/https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2014/usgamer/avatar.jpg/EG11/thumbnail/52x52/format/jpg/avatar.jpg)"></span> <a href="/web/20200620214654/https://www.metabomb.net/people/TheDoc013" class="username">TheDoc013</a> <a href="#comment-66" name="comment-66" class="count">#66</a> <span class="timestamp">4 years ago</span> </div> <div class="text"> <div> I really like the guides and everything in this article.

This works perfectly for escapes, returning to combat, and giving access to 2nd floor vantage points (which makes him even more of a threat).<br/> <br/> "Pretty limited direct damage output:" Junkrat has some of the most insane damage output in the game. If you get someone trapped, even the heaviest of tanks, they won't survive three seconds. I'm guessing you're referring to his inability to direct this damage--sure, his weapon isn't the most accurate, but even if you miss, the splash damage is great at crowd control. If the enemy team bunches up, or if you're in close quarters, you can easily off 3-5 enemies with a few clips and a landmine. <br/> <br/> Like you said, you have to work harder for these moments. Aka, you have to know how to aim an bounce the grenades. I get that this list is for new players, but you shouldn't be ranking these characters based on user skill and error. Junkrat shouldn't be deemed "low tier" just because people can't aim and he has no heals. </div> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="below"> <div class="stack"> <p class="section-title
