Who are the best Heroes at launch?

Stumped as for which Hero is best?

Overwatch 2 is still finding its legs, even two seasons in.

It feels like the meta could shift still as new strategies emerge.

That being said, we’ve pooled several resources to make up this list.

We’ve also spoken to some top players about their experiences.

Well honestly, its kind of weird.

He isactually one of the weaker options right now, though he does have a place.

However, they can struggle against both Doomfist and Roadhog, who are very good right now.

Interestingly, Supports havent changed too much from their previous standing with Lucio and Kiriko remaining the best picks.

Luckily then, most have been souped up significantly to handle that.

And there are a lot of great options at this time.

Right now,Roadhogof all tanks has emerged as the winner of the most recent balance patches.

His ability to get a one-shot kill with his hook combo means players have to play around him.

With his healing and damage mitigation too, he is an utter pain to kill.

Hes dangerous, hes survivable and right now, hes probably the best tank in the game.

Elsewhere,D.VAis also strong.

She is a great all-around pick that is feeling very viable and versatile.

Sigmais a great choice too if you are looking for a more traditional, stationary tanking experience.

He can absorb a lot of damage and has the potential to be the highest-damage tank.

If you’re not one for diving in, Sigma should be your go-to.

Rising into that top-tier flanker role,Tracerhas seen a quick rise.

Asheis also a great option at DPS.

Reaperis also a little bit of a sleeper pick as he is so dangerous at close range.

Best Support Heroes in Overwatch 2

Despite movement elsewhere, the best Supports havent changed too much.

Currently,Kirikois the best healer in the game.

She’s just excellent.

On top of that, her ultimate is very strong and has some wild interactions with other heroes.

Add on top of that, his Sound Barrier is still an excellent ultimate to counter powerful enemy ultimates.

Add on top of that Ashe being strong, and Mercy has a lot of boosting potential right now.

AnaandZenyattaare excellent as well, and in a void, could well be S-Tier themselves.

Ana’s Biotic Grenade and Zenyatta’s Discord Orbs are powerful utility tools.

However, with some care from the teammates to look out for them, they are very powerful options.
