Heroes of the Storm Master Tier List

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).

Chromie is one of the strongest poke Heroes in the game and can also deal a considerable amount of burst damage. After the recent buffs, Unravelling at Level 18 is extremely powerful, however, Temporal Loop can still be picked to punish team compositions without Cleanse.

If not countered, Deathwing is currently a powerful Hero that, while not excelling at macro, can deal a lot of damage, has good self-sustain, and is great for securing Boss Camps when contested.

Dehaka excels on big Maps, where you can get value from Brushstalker to quickly join your team. This tool can be used to outnumber the enemy team while the enemy Offlaner is busy somewhere else or still traveling due to not being global like Dehaka.

Falstad is a well-rounded Hero with global presence, good damage ouput, mobility, and access to Mighty Gust for saving allied Heroes from danger or securing Boss Camps when contested.

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.

Junkrat can use his kit to gain vision and safely poke from the distance, follow-up his team's engage with crowd control and/or burst damage (using Heroic Abilities).

Lucio, despite not being great when it comes to raw healing, provides mobility to his teammates and has access to a powerful Cleanse effect— High Five. A strong player, especially in a coordinated team, can get a lot of value from his kit.

Maiev is a scary Melee Assassin who has a powerful displacement tool and can deal an insanely high amount of damage to grouped (two or more) enemy Heroes. Avoid unnecessary team fights and spread when fighting against her.

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.

Sgt. Hammer is a powerful Ranged Assassin that, if not countered properly, can deal a huge amount of damage to enemy Heroes and Structures. Her main weakness is not having a Mount and thus being slow at rotating, which is a problem on bigger Maps.

Sylvanas is a versatile Ranged Assassin capable of specializing into sustain damage or burst damage. She also has access to Haunting Arrows, which is extremely useful for disabling enemy Structures while pushing or diving.

Thrall is a durable Bruiser that can crowd control and deal a lot of damage to enemy Heroes in melee range, however, he does not have good waveclear. He is best when played in the 4-man, as a Melee Assassin.

Tyrael can deal a lot of damage, has good survivability, can use Burning Halo at Level 7 for waveclear, and has access to powerful Heroic Abilities for enabling allied Heroes.

Garrosh is a threatening Tank who can punish enemy Heroes who get too close. This characteristic makes him particularly scary in the early game and around Objectives with narrow spaces where he can flank with ease.

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.

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.

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.

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