Overwatch 2 Beta started on April 26 and it’s already gaining an insane amount of attraction. While there have been multiple tier lists for Overwatch itself, in this article, we will highlight the Overwatch 2 Tier List and the best characters to pick in Ranked.
Now you might be wondering, how will anyone make a tier list of a game that started 2 days ago, and for that, we will say that yes, this tier list might not be perfect and might look completely different when the game is actually released. It is based on the first impression and is an early Overwatch 2 Tier List based on how the characters feel when you start playing the game at the moment.
Overwatch 2 Tier List
With that said, this tier list will be divided into different tiers. It’s basically the Overwatch 2 characters ranked from best to worst on a first-impression basis. With that said, let’s get into the Overwatch 2 Tier List.
S-Tier Characters

This will be the list of characters that are amazing while playing Ranked. You don’t have to think twice before using these characters, unless, of course, you’re messing up your team composition by using a similar role that someone else is already using. Here’s the list of the S-Tier Characters in Overwatch 2.
- Doomfist
- Lucio
- Soldier:76
- Genji
- D.Va
- Ana
- Mei
- Brigitte
A-Tier Characters

A-tier Characters will be the characters that aren’t the best and the most efficient option for Overwatch 2 Ranked, but they’re still a good pick and with a little bit of skill and game sense, you can definitely make all of these characters busted, and possibly even stronger than the S-Tier Characters. These are basically the characters with a lot of potential.
- Hanzo
- Sigma
- Tracer
- Moira
- Baptiste
- Zarya
- Sojourn
- Echo
- Widowmaker
B-Tier Characters

This tier in the Overwatch 2 Tier List will have the list of characters that aren’t exactly recommended when you’re playing Ranked. Generally, the characters that don’t have much in their kit or the ones that can be easily countered and don’t have a lot to make up for that easy counter exist in this tier. These have a high chance of being reworked and brought to the same level as the rest in the main release of the game though.
- Wrecking Ball
- Junkrat
- Cassidy
- Ashe
- Reinhardt
- Bastion
- Zenyatta
- Sombra
D-Tier Characters

This tier will contain the characters that are, and pardon my language, downright trash currently in the Overwatch 2 Meta. These characters don’t feel that good to play and are usually not doing that good in the game either because they lack a lot in their kit. This will be the final tier in this Overwatch 2 Tier List.
- Orisa
- Reaper
- Mercy
- Symmetra
- Winston
- Pharah
- Tornjorn
- Roadhog
That will be all for this Overwatch 2 Tier List, hope it was helpful and you all have a lot of fun with the new game!
