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.

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.

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.

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.

Mephisto is the most powerful Ranged Assassin in the game when it comes to damage done to enemy Heroes in team fights, however, he does not excel at macro, especially at capturing Mercenaries. Avoid unnecessary team fights and spread when fighting against him.

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 has access to one of the most powerful Traits in the entire game: Black Arrows. The ability to disable enemy Structures can be used to easily enable her team to push without winning an Objective or to multiply the power of a won Objective.

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.

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.

Garrosh is a threatening Tank who can punish enemy Heroes who get too close. This characteristics 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.
