If you’re looking for an Overwatch 2 tier list to help you gain a competitive edge in the FPS game, then we’ve got you covered. With 35 heroes to pick from across three Overwatch 2 roles, starting out in Blizzard’s hero shooter can be pretty daunting, and it’s not always easy to tell how strong your chosen character is when you’re constantly coming up against different counters and team comps.

First off, some housekeeping. Our Overwatch 2 tier list isn’t divided up into specific roles, but we will have a hero from each role represented in every bracket. S tier is the highest category, it represents heroes who are at the pinnacle of Overwatch 2’s meta and don’t require specific team comps or strategies to dominate with. A tier picks aren’t necessarily worse than their S tier counterparts, but they’re generally harder to use and get the best out of. B, C, and D tier follow suit, representing the lower echelons of Overwatch’s roster.

Of course, just because we say a hero is a must-pick, it doesn’t mean you can’t do a better job with your preferred main character, but most players should be able to look at this tier list for a quick snapshot of who to play and why. Join us we rank every hero in the game, from the titanic tanks to squishy supports.
