This page shows Overwatch Tier List for season 23, (Updated: 17 August, 2020). Our list classifies each characters into the most competitive category.

We tried our best to present the meta, but we do not accept our list of levels as final. Even if some heroes do not top our list, they can still be extremely powerful in the right situation.

Our tier list ranks heroes in terms of their current balance, and how they fit into the current meta. Also find current Overwatch meta on this page. The tier list can also be used in the team picker.

Note that even though a hero might be in tiers 4 or 5, if used correctly that hero can perform well comparing to the heroes in a tier 1-2. So, even if some heroes aren’t topping our list, they’re still capable of being extremely strong in the right situation.

Overwatch Tier List Overview

S-Tier: These heroes have a very high win rate on the professional level and the best choices on different maps and multiple game types.

A-Tier: These heroes have a high pick rate and are good alternatives to Tier 1 heroes.

B-Tier: These heroes are often considered less strong and are situational picks based on different game types.

C-Tier: These heroes have a less win rate but can be good if used correctly.

D-Tier: These heroes have low pick rate at professional level or have a low success rate and are often considered weak in terms of balance.

However, it is fair to say that some heroes turn out to be more consistently useful than others when it comes to promoting a wide range of commanding personnel. As a result, we would like to provide a regularly updated list of how the characters play against each other and do so in the form of the list that you are currently reading.

How exactly do we make Overwatch Tier List?

To begin with, we take our own experience, taking into account the current meta, before taking into account the generally accepted wisdom of the crowd with the help of alternative ratings of heroes.

We also improve our ranking a bit to play with other random players, rather than with teams that prefer tightly coordinated competitive teams. For more information you can refer to the official patch notes.
