Introduction

The goal of this Tier List is to inform players regarding how strong Heroes are in the current metagame on Towers of Doom.

Towers of Doom is a 3-lane Map with 1 Boss Camp, and 3 Sapper Camps. You can double soak middle and top lanes because they are relatively close to each other and you can get value from global Heroes because the Map is big. Heroes who can poke to stall the Objective are quite good here. You can decide to give up part of the Objective to instead take down some Heroes and/or some Structures. Mercenary Camps are easy to capture as a team, so you will not really need dedicated Heroes.

Guidelines

A well-rounded team composition has: 1 Tank, 1 Offlaner, 1 Ranged Assassin, 1 Flex, and 1 Healer. The flex slot can be filled with: 1 Bruiser, 1 Melee Assassin, 1 Ranged Assassin, or 1 Healer. If a given Hero can be played in different Roles (for example Tank and Offlaner), we mention them multiple times because each of their Roles may belong to a different tier.

Heroes that are generally worth banning at the beginning of the draft have been marked with a red border and a BAN label, however, in some circumstances it may be better to ban other Heroes instead, either to target-ban a player and/or to remove a counter to Heroes your team will pick.

Heroes that do better on this Map compared to their overall ranking have an upward-pointing arrow and name in green whereas Heroes that do worse on this Map compared to their overall ranking have a downward-pointing arrow and name in red. You can see their overall ranking in our General Tier List.

Blaze is a solid Offlaner that can easily clear Minions and, with specific Talents, even Mercenary Camps. In team fights he can contribute with crowd control and powerful Heroic Abilities.

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).

Dehaka excels on big Maps, where you can get value from Brushstalker Icon 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.

Diablo has access to a solid combination of crowd control, self-sustain, and damage compared to other Tanks. If left unchecked, he becomes deadly for any squishy Hero within range, especially near impassable terrain.

Falstad is a well-rounded Hero with global presence, good damage ouput, mobility, and access to Mighty Gust Icon 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.

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.

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

Tier A

In this tier you can find strong Heroes that will perform well in a lot of games.

Deathwing can be played as Offlaner when he does not have to rotate a lot. If taking too much damage, he can heal himself with Dragonflight Icon Dragonflight and land in time for dealing with the next wave of Minions.

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.

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.

5.

Tier B

In this tier you can find good Heroes that will generally be fine but not that strong.

Click to expand

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

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.

6.

Tier C

In this tier you can find situational Heroes that will only do well in some circumstances.

Tank 1 Hero
Melee Assassin 3 Heroes
Ranged Assassin 2 Heroes
Support 1 Hero

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.

7.

Tier D

In this tier you can find weak Heroes that will do poorly in most games.

Tank 1 Hero
Ranged Assassin 2 Heroes
Support 2 Heroes
Healer 1 Hero
Click to expand

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

E.T.C. can be played as Offlaner by picking Stage Dive Icon 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.
