Heroes of the Storm Volskaya Foundry 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.

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 Mercenary Camps when contested.

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.

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, which is extremely useful for disabling enemy Structures while pushing or diving.

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.

Deathwing is not a great Offlaner because he has limited macro capabilities and deals 100% more damage to enemy Heroes, therefore 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.

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.

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.
