Hello fellow hero stormers, this is PanDuhChuu coming to you with my third tier list for Heroes of the Storm! In my opinion, most tier lists for this game are either poor and do not take the right statistics into account, or they do those things right but just do not update enough. My goal with this tier list is to update it every time there are significant balance changes or when there is a significant change that causes a big meta shift. I think a tier list is critical to helping players draft well and also for knowing which heroes to practice and try to pull out in draft mode. This tier list takes into account win rates, statistics, and my own experiences in Heroes of the Storm as well. I also look at all the tier lists that I think are useful and important and compare them to make sure I am not too far-fetched on my ideas of the power levels of heroes.

Here is a link to the full tier list.

Normally this is where I would talk about who is on the incline or decline, but since I added a tier and made some changes to how it works I will not be doing that until the next tier list so that I have something to compare to. You can compare it to the last tier list if you want to see which heroes jumped a whole tier, but for the most part the meta is pretty similar with a few outliers because of new heroes and maps.

*Special Notes:

*I was debating on whether to move Morales down to a lower tier, but I kept her where she is because with a specific team composition she can be extremely difficult to play around and can make auto attackers insane.

*Medivh is not a support. He can not solo support, he also is not a dps, you must draft extra damage either in the support role or by getting two dps with extremely high damage potential.

*Leoric is not a solo tank. He is a bruiser that has high sustain potential, but also has very high damage potential for a warrior. You should draft another tank or bruiser to go with him.

*Tassadar is not a healer. He can solo support if it is necessary, but he is best when played in a duo support composition. Please, do not pick Tassadar if he is your only support. The only time this works is if the whole team picks accordingly and plays accordingly, which is rare in solo queue. He is probably tier two with specific compositions that include duo healers.

*Tyrande is a pseudo-healer. A good Tyrande can solo heal if it is necessary, but she is best played in a duo support composition. Please, do not pick Tyrande solo heal and not build her to maximize her healing and utility.She is probably tier two with specific compositions that include duo healers or pick/ganking compositions.

*Sonya is not a solo tank. She is a bruiser that has the potential to do the most damage on your team. You must draft another tank or bruiser to go along with her.

*Rexxar has a high win rate, I can check hotslogs, I know this. Rexxar is excellent at mercing and he is a good solo laner. If you have another tank he can be effective. If you have no one that can lane by themselves on maps where this is necessary, he can fill this role for you because he has good sustain and wave clear. In general though, he is a bad pick.

*I honestly think that Abathur, Chromie, and Zeratul are better than this, but they do not have a great place in the current meta and it would be hard to justify putting them higher because of their win percentages.

Let me know what you guys think. I am looking forward to your feedback.
