Last week and in line with v36 we invited the Paragon Reddit community to vote on the balance of each Hero in Paragon. They were asked to mark Heroes out of the following:

This Hero is greatly underpowered.

This Hero is underpowered.

This Hero is slightly under-average.

This Hero is balanced.

This Hero is slightly above-average.

This Hero is overpowered.

This Hero is greatly overpowered

The result from the majority of votes would place each respective Hero into a Tier, ranging from S+ (the very best) to 5 (the worst). There was no requirement for those voting to state their experience or why they reached their decision. In addition, it’s also important to remember that those who voted makes up a minute fraction of the Paragon player base. Below are the results, based on 325 players casting their votes across each Hero. You can view all the data at the end of the post.
