Overwatch tier list - the best heroes in Season 2

June 18, 2026: We added Shion to our Overwatch tier list. Expect further changes as we get to grips with Season 3. Who are the best Overwatch heroes? With 51 heroes to pick from as of Season 2, knowing where to start in Blizzard's hero shooter can be pretty daunting. 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. Of course, just because we say a hero is a must-pick doesn't mean you can't do a better job with your preferred Overwatch characters. That said, most players should be able to look at this Overwatch tier list for a quick snapshot of who to play and why. Join us as we rank every Overwatch hero in the free PC game, from the titanic tanks to squishy supports.
