Doomfist and Genji arnt S tier

Based… on what? The current meta?

Ana should definitely be S tier then, and Brigitte should be mid A-tier.

I don’t really agree with… like… any of this list. I don’t even think it’s reflective of pro-play. I don’t really get your basis for this

not after the nerfs…

not with DOATS (dive goats) being a thing now

Doomfist is less viable than Symmetra? Even after the DF nerfs, this isn’t right in any sense.

Which is why I said it’s not even reflective of pro-play, because if it were (and thus measuring DOATS), Lucio should definitely be mid-to-high A tier, and Reinhardt should arguably be A+ or A rather than S.

Also Pharah being B tier is… no. She’s solid C tier at best. Tracer is also definitely not A tier in DOATS, she’s maybe B tier.

Like I said, I’m not sure what the basis for this ranking is. It doesn’t really line up with GOATS or DOATS.

There are some changes I would make to the list:

  • Orisa is C tier or B tier at best considering how situational she is.
  • Ashe is B or C considering that her ADS shots are inconsistent/ bugged.
  • Hanzo should be A or A+ (maybe S) tier since he is versatile at multiple ranges and has great damage.
  • Ana should be A+ considering the amount of utility and healing she offers if she is used well.
  • Doomfist should also be A+ or S with his skill ceiling and combos.

Otherwise I mostly agree with this list.

Oh Christ, I’m not even sure where to begin with this list . . . .

Mind explaining your rationale for those placements?

Yeah, IMO the only “S tier” heroes are Ana and maybe Reinhardt, if you go based on ladder, or DVa, if you go based on pro play.

It kinda seems like a weird mish-mosh of ladder and pro-play… with just some very random rankings. Doomfist in D tier? Maybe after his nerfs, but Symmetra should be right down there with him, or in F tier. Mei and Pharah are overrated in B tier, Lucio is underrated in B tier no matter what you base it on, Orisa and Hog are definitely not A tier, Tracer shouldn’t be A+ (and Sombra shouldn’t unless you’re going based only on pro play). Ashe is too early still to tell, etc etc etc

Current dommfist is more A Tier, after nerfs he’ll be mid-low tier. Also Sombra isn’t A-Tier, more like B-Tier

12

When is the PTR going live? Haven’t played in a while, but I see the meta in pro league at least is solely tanks/healers. Like rein/zarya and either winston/brigette then lucio/zen. Don’t even see dps being played? I see ash is in now, hopefully she’s at least used.

Rein broken

lmao

Based on “I said so”. So you know it’s completely legit.

zen is way too low on that list

17

What is it based on? Ladder (if so, what rank?), or pro play?

18

Wait… let me try

Whoosh! Bastion is S tier.

… did it work?

19

All tanks and supports should be a tier above any DPS.
This is a flawed list.

I mean, there’s a lot wrong and arguable with this list (Like at minimum, you should be switching all of A and A+), but if you’re going to preemptively drop Doom so low, you should probably Sombra down at least one tier too.

Most of the (still limited) success she’s had has been due to Doomfist as she both pairs incredibly well with him and is one of his hardest counters. His nerfs are going to end up hurting her a bit as well.
