Trying to find angles and generate value as a Widowmaker is extremely difficult in any normal ranked match. In a double shield meta, Widowmaker just struggles even worse than normal. Tier 4: Difficult to Have Success Within the Current Metaīastion is still bad. Brig is both a boon and a counter, and Bap is difficult to handle. However it’s the supporting cast around Genji that is making thigs difficult for the cyber-ninja. Flankers are usually fine in a double-shield environment, and with a recent shuriken buff Genji in particular should be fine. It’s a fine line between smurfing and feeding for Roadhog players, making him a less great option for ranked grinders.ĭoomfist and Genji sit in an interesting spot in the meta. The only problem remains to the main one - he donates ultimate charge to the enemy team. He can threaten the health of shields rather quickly, and serves as a brutal anti-flanker option if he can land his hook. Roadhog has been an offtank staple in ranked these past few weeks. Tier 3: Good Situational Picks but Less Strong Overall In other news, Torb just received a buff in the Experimental patch, so that’s pretty neat. Pair him with an Orisa, and now the team has a devastating combination of Halt! and Dragonstrike. His ability to break shields is incredibly helpful in busting through bunker compositions. Hanzo is the big name to sneak up into the second tier. It is certainly much harder that way, but it can be done. Yes, there will be some heroes that feel like “must-picks” but ultimately a team can succeed with out tier 1 picks. The fact of the matter is the game is in a state where each hero is viable given a variety of different scenarios. There are tons of viable options in the second tier of characters that it almost seems like a cop-out to put this many characters here. Tier 2: Good Alternatives to Tier 1 and Still Viable Overall For the most part, Orisa is always a solid option and players know that when Supercharger comes down, the team fight easily falls in their favor. The durability of Fortify and the displacement from Halt! continue to terrorize opponents in the competitive queue. Orisa is the go-to tank once again on even-terrain maps. Though many offtank players may still opt for Roadhog in solo-queue, if not just as an ego pick. D.Va provides insane amounts of utility that sometimes it feels like it’s throwing to not pick her. Tracer and Baptiste in particular are pivotal to the success of a team due to their high impact abilities. The consistent dominance of these characters simply boils down to a lethal combination of their flexibility, and their mechanical payoffs. Brig, Bap, D.Va, Echo and Tracer are back at it again as some of the top heroes in Overwatch. ![]() Tier 1: Optimal Heroes with High Win Rates and Synergy A Junkrat buff doesn’t appear to be the fix-all for Overwatch, but a small change is all players can ask for in this holding pattern until Overwatch 2. The Experimental patch notes from late October contain a couple of changes that could be exciting, albeit not game changing. Luckily for competitors, there are a few small adjustments on the horizon. Players on the ranked ladder are set in their ways as to how to play the game without much going on to force them to adapt. ![]() Characters are, for the most part, locked into their roles and their play rates. Without a meaningful patch since August, the game pretty much has stalled out in terms of shifting metas or redefining strategies. It’s been quite the drought for Overwatch players. ![]()
