The goal of this Tier List is to inform Quick Match players regarding how strong Heroes are in the current metagame.
Introduction
The goal of this Tier List is to inform Quick Match players regarding how strong Heroes are in the current metagame.
Guidelines
Tanks and Healers are not that popular in Quick Match. Because of this, Heroes who are more independent (such as having engage tools when there is no Tank) and can do fine in an environment where team compositions may not follow any conventions (for example having self-sustain when there is no Healer) should be preferred as they have more chances to succeed.
Tier S
In this tier you can find overpowered Heroes that will do great in most games.
Notes
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).
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.
Thanks to
Shield Capacitor,
Fenix can easily out-trade enemy Heroes
who cannot crowd control and burst him
down before he manages to
Warp out.
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.
Kerrigan is a powerful Melee Assassin that can crowd control and burst down enemy Heroes who get caught. After completing her Baseline Quest, she becomes a force to be reckoned with. If you gank her, she will have a harder time farming stacks on Minions.
Nazeebo can keep stacking
Voodoo Ritual,
his Baseline Quest, on Minions during the game. This mechanic allows him
to become extremely powerful in the late game
against teams who let him farm uncontested.
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.
At the cost of being not that strong in team fights, Samuro has one of the best kits for playing macro (self-sustain, good waveclear, escape tools).
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.
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.
Zeratul is a formidable Melee Assassin that, thanks to his mobility and damage output, can easily threaten most Ranged Assassins. On bigger Maps, with the appropriate Build, he can even split-push.
Tier A
In this tier you can find strong Heroes that will perform well in a lot of games.
Tier B
In this tier you can find good Heroes that will generally be fine but not that strong.
Tier C
In this tier you can find situational Heroes that will only do well in some circumstances.
Tier D
In this tier you can find weak Heroes that will do poorly in most games.
