Overwatch 2 boasts a plethora of characters that players can pick from. Each character has a unique kit, and every character is viable under the right scenario. However, as is the case with every multiplayer game, some characters are more potent than others. Hence, we’ve put together a tier list, ranking every character in the game.
S Tier
- Genji
- Lucio
- Reaper
- Soldier: 76
- Tracer
A Tier
- Ana
- Brigitte
- Doomfist
- D. Va
- Mei
- Mercy
- Moira
- Orisa
- Sigma
- Sombra
B Tier
- Ash
- Baptiste
- Cassidy
- Hanzo
- Reinhardt
- Sojourn
- Torbjörn
- Widowmaker
- Winston
- Wrecking Ball
C Tier
- Bastion
- Echo
- Junkrat
- Pharah
- Zarya
- Zenyatta
D Tier
- Roadhog
- Symmetra
Since the game is yet to leave the alpha phase, we can expect many changes to the characters moving forward. As of now, the meta has been dominated by tanks or characters with high mobility. Hence, characters such as Orisa and Genji are high on the list. Furthermore, characters that do not rely heavily on teammates and can efficiently self peel are currently highly valuable.
Another thing to keep in mind: a character’s viability can change depending upon your play style and preference. Soldier: 76 is extremely easy to play and can be effective without much prior practice. However, a character like Sojourn, who has a steep learning curve, can be more rewarding than Soldier: 76 if you invest a lot of time practicing his kit.
