Overwatch 2 arrived on PC and consoles recently as the successor of the popular hero-shooter, though when we say it has arrived, we mean only partially because it is still in its beta phase with only PvP mode available. PvE content will arrive sometime in 2023. Still, that’s enough for us to do a quick analysis of all available heroes and figure out who’s best for beta players who want to know how the heroes rank in OW2, at least in its current state. Here’s our Overwatch 2 Tier List.
Best Heroes in Overwatch 2 – Tier List
Our Overwatch 2 best heroes list will be divided into tiers from S to D. In general, the characters in higher tiers have a better meta and are more likely to help you secure the win, but of course, that also depends on your skill and preferences.
