Overwatch Difficulty Tier List

Sombra is a B at most, id put her at C, she has a get out of jail free card on a 4 second cooldown and permastealth to make positioning a joke

Mercy is low difficulty? I have to giggle.

Also how Reinahrdt is C? Since he only Melee, and has cooldown for Fire Strikeā€¦ Also he canā€™t control charge so wellā€¦

S: Genji
A: Sombra, D.va, Winston
B: Widowmaker
C: Hanzo

Get Genji out of A tier, heā€™s S tier. Heā€™s not even good and hard to play well right now.

Also get Sombra out of S tier, sheā€™s A tier.

Winston is 100% A tier.

Widow is harder than D.va? PFFT yeah right.

Also why is Hanzo in A tier? Get em outta here, heā€™s C tier.

I think itā€™s that the constant powercreep has lowered the amount of skill needed by dps players to the point where I think itā€™s fair to say bastion is B. He has to have decent tracking, doesnā€™t have any instant win dual buttons like other dps.

Agreed. Should be S tier. A tier at least.

I wish more people understood this. I hate yolo Monkey.

How D.Va is A? She is way too easy play for meā€¦

S: Tracer, Genji, Sym (just because sheā€™s so bad atm)
A: Hamster, Zen, Ana, Widow, Cree, Sombra, Rein, Winston, Zarya, Dva
B: Orisa, Torb, Mei, Lucio, Ashe, Spamzo, Bap, Pharah, Soldier, Hog, Doomguy (should maybe be A, but iā€™m being spiteful)
C: Reaper, Junkrat, Bastion
D: Moira, Brig, Mercy

Thereā€™s a few I wasnā€™t sure about, butā€¦ yeah, I made some kind of list with like 75% confidence. Also, feel like I forgot someone

I find this hard to answer, because where do you even define difficulty?

If itā€™s making the hero do what you want to do, then Doomfist and Hammond are probably my top two hardest.

If itā€™s understanding how to do the heroā€™s job well, then Reinhardt is the most difficult one for me.

If itā€™s being able to make your hero work in most situations (i.e. you donā€™t get shut down by the enemy team), then Bastion is pretty dang difficult, even though itā€™s very easy to mow people down with his gun.

IDK, I just think the layers that go into playing all the different heroes makes them pretty hard to rank with a simple measure of difficulty.

I think that Winston is very hard since, he need know when bubbles and when times to landā€¦ So he should A

This is all subjective anyway. Everyone rates on their own bias of what they consider difficult.

Most people who have amazing mechanics but crap game sense will find heroes like Hamster, Doomfist, Winston, and Zarya difficult to play because you need more than just good aim. People who have amazing game sense but have crap mechanics would find heroes like Hanzo, widow, Ashe, or even 76 difficult to play. People with both of these attributes are GM and above or pros.

Tracer is not hard imo. She has a very straight forward kit that lets her move freely. I find her pretty easy to get value out of compared to other heroes that are much more restricted in how they can play

If your aim is crap though. Then it may seem impossible to play her.

If your aim is crap then most heroes are equally as hard with others a lot harder

Literally impossible to kill a full team in 0.5s as Widow. 0.5s of charge is barely 220 damage, for an average healthpool of 1300-1600 HP on the enemy team, you need bare minimum 8-9 shots.

Potential isnā€™t reality by the way.

Exactly, but the game offers other avenues to be effective. Like if your aim is crap but you understand positioning and have great game sense, you can play Monkey or Doomfist.

People really underestimate how hard playing Mei actually is. Yes, she can freezeā€¦ but her wall is one of the most skill based abilities in the game. Itā€™s virtually the only skill that can truly make or break a game on itā€™s own. A bad hook is a wasted hook. a bad ice wall kills your team and loses the fight. Mei is NOT half as easy as people seem to think.

Mhmā€¦ Wall goal to make enemies teammates canā€™t go join togther so, example if Reinahrdt go through before Wall appear, then his teammates canā€™t save him.
