Heroes of the Storm Alterac Pass Tier List

Anub'arak is among the best Tanks, especially when facing Heroes who mostly deal Spell Damage. On Alterac Pass he can solo-capture the Prison Camp by spawning Beetles with Scarab Host.

Blaze is mainly being drafted as Offlaner because his self-sustain allows him to stay in lane for long periods of time and his high waveclear allows him to have priority on the enemy Offlaner.

Brightwing is a well-rounded Healer with crowd control, global presence, a powerful Cleanse effect, and a solid healing output. She is particularly good at dealing with high-mobility Heroes (for example Genji).

Hogger is a well-rounded Bruiser who can clear Minions and Mercenaries efficiently and dish out a solid amount of damage against Heroes during team fights, especially in the late game.

Johanna is not only the most durable Tank in the whole game but she can also provide a good amount of crowd control to disrupt enemy plans and help her teammates in team fights.

Rehgar is currently a solid Healer who can provide a balanced mix of sustain and burst healing, with the ability to quickly clear Minions and Mercenaries.

Valla is a formidable Ranged Assassin who can deal an insane amount of damage to anyone, including Tanks. Due to her low durability, she loves to be paired with Supports or to have a second Healer.

Imperius can get enough waveclear from Talents to become a good Offlaner, however, he performs better when picked as Melee Assassin in the 4-man.

Even though she does not have self-sustain, Johanna has enough waveclear to be played as Offlaner on bigger Maps, where the offlane matchup is not that important.

Thrall is only being drafted as a durable Melee Assassin in the 4-man. Due to his lack of waveclear, he would never have priority when playing against a good Offlaner. His high survivability, however, makes him a great choice against aggressive team compositions.

Arthas can be played as Offlaner against melee Heroes who rely on Basic Attacks and cannot deal with Frozen Tempest because they lack mobility tools to disengage whenever they want.

E.T.C. can be played as Offlaner by picking Stage Dive and using it to join allied Heroes after taking care of a side lane. This strategy is particularly good on big Maps, where global Heroes are valuable.

Blaze is rarely being drafted as a Tank because his engage can easily be countered with a well-timed crowd control effects, including Knockbacks.

Uther can also be drafted as secondary Healer to enable a powerful Melee Assassin (for example Kerrigan) or Ranged Assassin (notably Valla) so that they can deal more damage.
