TIER 2
S TIER
(Best Overwatch Hero | Highest Tier | Overpowered)
S TIER AKA GOD TIER is full of the Best Overwatch Heroes within the Overwatch Tier List. These heroes were chosen, Mostly due to Damage and Flexibility with any Team Composition and or Map.
TIER 1
B TIER
(High Skill Cap | Strong Hero)
B TIER has Strong Overwatch Heroes and those with high skill caps. These Overwatch Heroes are not among the Best since they do not fulfill their OW Hero role as effectively as GOD TIER Heroes.
GOD TIER
F TIER
(Difficult To Play | Lowest Tier)
Heroes within F TIER of the Overwatch Tier List do not fulfill there role as effectively as other Overwatch Heroes. They are also more difficult to play and in some cases even easier to counter pick.
- Reinhardt: Hands down one of the Best Overwatch Heroes within the tank role and even this Overwatch Tier List for that matter.
- Zarya: No mobility, she does, however, make up for it with Shields that stop damage and Crowd Control CC. Along with a huge Game Changing Ult AOE CC ability perfect for Competitive Play.
- Reaper: Up Close Reaper will almost always win the 1v1, not to mention his ability to flank and catch the enemy of guard. While having an ability to escape and go unpunished.
- Soldier 76: One of the Best Overwatch Heroes for any players, simple play-style while being able to provide the team with AOE Healing.
- Lucio: One of the best heroes in this Overwatch Tier List. With an even higher value on certain maps that make use of his knockback ability (Sonic Amplifier-Secondary Fire).
- Mercy: The 3 words that can make your stomach turn “Heroes never die” Mercy’s AOE Ult (Resurrect). Easily the biggest game changer in Overwatch Competitive Play.
- Mei: One of the Best Overwatch Counter Picks to certain Heroes such as Junkrat, Tracer, Genji.
- Junkrat: Spraying and praying will only get you so far as Junkrat. This becomes, even more, less effective in Competitive play where your opponents are most skilled.
- Roadhog: Does lots of damage for a tank hero, he, however, does not fulfill the tank role as effective as other Overwatch Tank Heroes.
- D.Va: Mobility to take care of pesky Hanzo and Widowmakers while having a way to protect your team from damage(Defense Matrix). AOE Ult for clearing areas of enemy threats.
- Pharah: This OW Hero on the right map can be one of the Best Overwatch Heroes within this Overwatch Tier List. However, she can struggle against a skilled Torbjorn and his turret.
- Genji: If you had to choose one OW hero to main, this would be the character due his high skill cap. Skilled Genji players can not only win you 1v1; they can clear out your entire team as well with one good ult.
- Symmetra: For the most part she is only played during defensive rounds, this is mainly due to her Teleporter. Symmetra can do a lot of damage up close and even melt tank heroes.
- Tracer: Difficult to master and can easily be counter picked.
- Zenyatta: The one support in this Overwatch Tier List, who can both support while carrying with damage and eliminations. It would be best to use a god tier support in competitive play, since they are better at staying alive.
- Winston: Similar to D.Va in many ways, just less damage and shorter cooldowns on mobility.
- Hanzo: In the hands of a skilled hanzo players, this OW hero can be regarded as one of the Best Overwatch Heroes. Along with having a nasty hit box on his arrows shots.
- McCree: Effective counter against tracer, while having both strong long and close range damage.
- Windowmaker: High skill cap Overwatch hero that can provide the team with a lot of vision utility.
- Torbjorn: This OW hero is regarded as one of the easiest Overwatch Heroes due his auto aiming AI Turret. Making matters even worse when his Ult is activated, his turrets becomes even more powerful. While Torbjorn himself becomes tanky.
- Bastion: This OW hero can be really effective with the proper protection and lack of counter picks from the enemy team. (See Below For Bastion Team Comps)
Overwatch Team Comps
Overwatch Tier List Team Composition: Team Comps are a selection of the best Overwatch Heroes who are played at the same time, These OW heroes will often have an ability that helps makes their Teammate’s hero ability’s that much Stronger/Better.

Best Overwatch Hero
Best Overwatch Hero Based on the Map or Game-Mode, any particular OW character can be a strong Overwatch hero if certain condition are met. Hanzo, for example, is especially strong when escorting a payload thanks to his ultimate being able to clear out areas of enemy heroes. Pharah is even more effective, on Maps with spots that she can Jet pack to reach and then processed to lay waste with her AOE Damage. Winston in small enclosed areas like inside buildings, allows him to smash players when they have very little places to retreat. Bastion at Choke Point Areas that enemy players have to pass through, during the Payload Game Mode is extremely useful. Any OW hero in the right game type or map position can be the best overwatch hero.
