OFFICIAL OVERWATCH TIER LIST. CHARACTER ORDER IS NOT INDICATIVE OF ANY CHARACTER BEING OBJECTIVELY BETTER THAN ANOTHER, SIMPLY THAT THEY SHARE A TIER.

>GOOD: THESE CHARACTERS ARE USEFUL IN ALMOST EVERY SITUATION. PICKING THESE CHARACTERS WILL LIKELY INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING, SINCE THEY HAVE HIGH IMPACT. THESE CHARACTERS ARE NOT AS EASILY COUNTERED AS OTHERS. THESE CHARACTERS ARE VALUABLE ON BOTH OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. ARE GENERALLY VERSATILE.

Lucio
Soldier 76
Tracer
McCree
Pharrah
Reaper
Widowmaker
Mercy
Every tank but Reinhardt

>USABLE: THESE CHARACTERS HAVE THEIR NICHE SITUATIONS THAT MAY NECESSITATE THEIR USE. HAVING A TEAM MADE UP OF A MAJORITY OF THESE CHARACTERS DOES NOT BODE WELL IN A GENERAL CASE, BUT CAN BE GOOD DEPENDING ON THE OPPOSING TEAM COMPOSITION.

Junkrat
Reinhardt
Genji
Mei
Bastion
Zenyatta (probably the most debatable, I think he's situational because of his low health)

>BAD: JUST DON'T PICK THESE GUYS. ANY OF THE ABOVE HEROES ARE BETTER 90% OF THE TIME.

Symmetra
Torbjorn

BUMPING FOR ATTENTION

updooting

Shit list. So apparent that OP can't play builders whatsoever.

>d.va
>good
choose one

Why won't you guys fuck off and make a fucking general on /vg/

Medic >Demo > Soldier > Scout > Sniper > Heavy > The rest.
Prove me wrong.

>mei and reinhardt both not in GOOD

Are you retarded OP? Reinhardts shield is fantastic in 90% of situations and an absolute beast on both offense and defense sides.

And Meis freeze is too OP at the moment that as long as she can get in close shes going to win.

Lel, well placed turret got me several 5-6 ppl killstreaks.

post pharrah porn and qt

>Torbjorn
>Not in Usable

Some maps he sucks dick, while other ones he can be godlike.

>symmetra
>bad

when will this meme end?

Symmetra is a team player. The teleporter just needs to be a basic ability though and give her a true support healing ability

When the game dies.
So in no time.

Toblerone is fine, the problem is that people don't rebuild sentries quickly if they're destroyed and people don't shit out armor packs constantly

Also his gun is surprisingly strong sometimes, especially at long range sniping, kind of like Lucio's

Most of the time i see Reinhardt get ran circles around him, hence why I placed him in usable tier. He's good during pushes when you have the rest of the team to back you up, yeah.

Mei is a pubstomper but she's easily dispatched by a majority of the offensive heroes I placed in good tier as well as Bastion and Junkrat.

this

or just move her to defense so people dont think she is gonna heal them

>not 2 shotting people with Torbjorn from behind your turret

His long range shot is amazing once you get the hang of it, on close range you can almost one-shot squishy characters with the right-click ability

w-what about my boy hanzo

This game is fun as fuck.

>everyone sucking off mccree
>every time I've used him I've never been able to land a single shot of his right click

How are all these people somehow getting these instant kills meanwhile my bullets just disappear into the ether even while point blank?

>Game is completely unoptomized for PC, so much so that 80% of players can't play without reduced graphics or a shit framerate.
>The game is designed in such a way that you don't need the precision of KB&M for aiming.
>It plays better on PS4
>No little kids spamming chat
>PS4 was announced lead platform
PCucks, defend yourselves in this new era.

Peoples opinion of Sym it the litmus test for whether a player is good or not.

Here's a list of auto-aims in Overwatch.

Soldier 76 ultimate
Mccree ultimate
Reaper ultimate
Winston primary gun
Symmetra primary gun & turrets
Torbjorn turret
Roadhog chain (aim assist)


Here's a list of offensive effects or attacks which aren't auto-aim but you essentially cannot miss with them no matter how bad you are.

Bastion turret gun
Reaper primary guns
Tracer primary gun
Reinhardt primary melee
Zenyatta orb of discord
Winston ultimate swipes
Pharah ultimate rocketswarm
Roadhog primary weapon (both modes)
Roadhog ultimate
Zarya ultimate
Tracer ultimate

Additionally, almost every character has a skill that negates all positional mistakes. For example: caught on the ground as the rocketess Pharah? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly in the sky, where you're most effective.

Ran yourself into a bad spot as the fragile but swift Tracer? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly back where you were before.

Got caught in the open as the close-range slugger Reaper? Just press your invulnerability button and float over to a healthkit. You get this and many other movement tools completely free, there's nothing you give up for them, like sacrificing health with a rocket-jump.


The tools Overwatch gives you to solve problems are contained in a single, brainless button rather than a complex and difficult set of movements and/or offensive measures. The entire game revolves around identifying the correct rock-paper-scissors situation to press your button, then pressing it. There is no serious skill of any kind involved. You're going through the motions of what you think a video game entails.

The miniscule difference between a week-old Overwatch player and a year-old Overwatch player will be lost in the cloud of instakill ultimates, teleports and AOE abilities. This game is transcendentally shit, and there is no escape from it. This is the very profitable future of FPS. Hell. Population: you.

Just don't pick Symmetra on very open maps

On maps like Volskaya where there's a lot of tight hallways and corners where she can hide a few sentries or a teleporter she's pretty damn good. Shame that her weapon's secondary fire is hot garbage. Might be decent if you could hold the charge instead of auto-firing it once it's fully charged.

Found myself playing Pharah and Mercy most of the time, haven't tried to many other characters.
Most people are too stupid to target Mercy, so it makes it really easy to keep a team alive.

Also, how many people can I rez at once? Anyone who is close enough?

t. poorfag

I guess based Hog is in his own tier

Mercy best girl

Syms alt fire has a time and a place. You can peak Bastion with it and wreck Reinhedt.

The pink haired lesbian is pretty op.

You just spam your right click and keep hopping and you'll get kills.

>unoptimized
What are you taking about? At max settings with no AA I literally never dip below 60fps and average 70.

And I'm only running
2x GTX 670
i5 2500k @ 4.6Ghz
They're pretty old parts. The game is pretty light at 6GB too.

Nice potato, my man.

>getting meat hooked around corners

Nice "netcode" Blizzard

Pretty sure you can res the whole team, since that's like the only way Mercy gets POTG.

>shillwatch

I just fire it into chokepoints and try to piss people off into chasing me to my turrets

Yeah. All 5 of them potentially. There's an indicator telling you how many dead allies are close enough to be ressed

None of this true.

>Unoptimized

Nigger what? This game is REALLY well optimized. Runs like a dream on my toaster at medium settings.

>every tank but reinhardt
>better than reinhardt

Reinhardt is the only actual tank, though.
Winston's shield sucks, so he's not great for mitigating damage.
Dva's absorption field is good for snuffing out enemy ults, but other than that she's supposed to be flanking instead of protecting her team. Plus, she sucks in general.
Roadhog isn't really a tank. He's like reaper but he brings enemies to him instead of the other way around.

Okay, because I swear I was close enough to rez my whole team, but only two came back. Do you have to stand on top of them or have LOS?

>Roadhog chain (aim assist)

I will never understand people who say this. Maybe it's just my horrible propensity to get matched up with people who live in Brazil, but I've thrown chains inches from enemies and had them miss.

Here's your (you), it's the last one you're getting until you improve your material, young man.

there has been a general on /vg/ for months

>Reaper ults my entire team
>Dodge past a Tracer, fly into the middle of them
>Res them all and we push the point
>POTG is Bastion sitting in turret mode holding down LMB

Your list is retarded.

Mei is extremely strong and really good in every situation.

Symmetra is not useful as the sole support. However given time to set up she's incredibly strong. If she's good at hiding her teleporter close to the objective that's incredibly strong

Reinhardt is extremely good for every team push. The only situation where he sucks is when his opponents are above him.

Torbjorn is really good also. A well placed turret shits on a teams ability to push. In short everyone in this game is decent.

Why would you play a nigger ?

>Nice potato

I don't get it

>Soldier 76

try genji, try reaper etc etc suddenly choose the most boring guy = 10 killer streak-15 killer streak-play of the game-gold gold gold

Start seeing atleast 2-3 widowshits on every fucking team with some hanzos,diediedie, and some tracers

Guess i had my fun for 6hours, time to say goodbye.

Wait ... there are people playing on PC? kek

>reaper
How do I even get good with this guy?
How far is the damage drop-off with his stupid shotgun/pistol?
Favorite set-up for his ult?

not everyone is decent, d.va is shit.

Reinhardt>Winston>Zarya>garbage>D.Va=Roadhog in terms of tanking.
Reinhardt has way too much utility, a mobile shield is insanely good for pushing checkpoints or defending control points against decent teams. The only other tank that's useful in that front is Winston. Having a shield is a big deal in this game and three of the tanks don't have a proper one.
This is the character selection of the last tournament.

>390 1440p 144fps on 2500k
please make some other lies, game is boring but runs fine

Why does nobody like Hanzo

Medic is always useful so that's fine
but Demo is only really tops for clearing out sentry nests, otherwise any situation he's in someone else can do better

But she is hot as fuck...

Dva's ult is god tier

I swear Bastion in turret mode is POTG every game

>Game is completely unoptomized for PC, so much so that 80% of players can't play without reduced graphics or a shit framerate.
this game is very well optimized
>The game is designed in such a way that you don't need the precision of KB&M for aiming.
they drastically reduced the movement speed on consoles
>No little kids spamming chat
there are little kids on every system
>PS4 was announced lead platform
you got a source for that?

>thinking reaper is auto aim

it's an aoe, you goose

It's either that, or Hanzo getting a quad kill with his effortless ult.

>tfw I have only ever played Mercy or Lucio because if I didn't there would never be a support.

Not that I mind too much though, Lucio is a pretty fun offensive support.

As a former Cuntsman sniper a few years ago when TF2 was still fun, I kind of like playing Hanzo

>not knowing the value of a good Torby and Symmetra turret placement

>not knowing the destructive capabilities of a torby with molten core

git gud

Reinhardt is a team player. He loses every 1v1, but with people behind his shield to protect, he's an invaluable asset.

The reasons you see Reinhardt's getting bodied all the time is because either his teammates didn't group up with him, he charged into enemy lines like an idiot, or his/the enemy's team comp didn't really suit him and he was better off on Winston or something.

The fact that not everybody agrees with you should tell you that you're wrong. D.VA is good at being disruptive keeping people out of places you don't want them to be etc. She is not good at doing damage outside of her Q or when she's out of her mech

Going off of comp play: Move reaper, D.va, Roadhog and zenyatta down a tier and move Reinhardt up a tier. You now have a good tier list.

I've missed quite a few chains because of shitty prop hitboxes like cars or signs or fucking trees

use your teleport more

get as close as possible, the closer you are the more you shred

you basically can't go wrong with the ult

Reaper is seriously strong, probably one of the most useful damage dealers in the game and incredibly mobile once you get the hang of the teleport and can time the wraith/sprint

It's hard to find a situation where Mei isn't good
That shield is just too versatile and she rapes most melee heroes while also dealing rather well with ranged ones, and the ult is great for any teamfight

Thats real cool OP but we already have an actual tier list

Retarded Overwatch questions:

Are they gonna wipe the progress after Open Beta?

The Battlenet region is where the game will find for the queue?

Can you switch to any region and have the same account/progress on all regions? or do I have to start over?

It's really not. All you have to do to avoid it is break line of sight. No one who's played more than a few games against Dva will ever die to it unless they're forced to. It'll clear a point for a few seconds, but that's it.

There are too many fucking heroes/classes in this game. It's goddamn ridiculous.

It's like Blizz was making a MOBA but then decided "nah we already have HOTS lets just make it an FPS like TF2"

>MFW only healers get the most likes

FInally a game where we are appreciated.

Yes
Yes
No

>Symmetra's nerf knocked her down that far

>Zenyatta on nothing but a steep decline

Holy shit why

>Symmetra
>Bad

She's the most broken character for defending Hanamura, London and especially Hollywood.

I've never had an enemy attacking team ever reach the payload in Hollywood thanks to those choke points.
She's situational, not our fault you can't use her.

bullshit, i'm at 60-70fps 1440p 980ti 6500k

you must not have it fully maxed

>Have to scatter and get off the point to avoid the ult
>Enemy team can move in and take the point

Goal achieved

>tracer
>mccree
>pharrah
>reaper
>good

But the funniest fucking shit is this
>Every tank but Reinhardt

Reinhart is hands down the best tank in the entire game.

how the hell do you heal yourself as mercy?
enemies always go for you first and with dumb as fuck teammates you die immediately.

Widowmaker and McCree are popular. Both of them can oneshot Zenyatta

>Game is unoptimised.
Playing it on my laptop with shit graphics but the framerate doesn't drop below 30 except when Hanzo ults and there's at least 4 other people on screen

>Game is designed so you don't need KB/M
This is straight up false. I play on both my laptop and ps4 and what I've found is that snipers are godly on PC and shit on PS4. I wonder why that is

>No little kids spamming chat.
I am 28 and spam "Hello" and "I hope you learned your lesson"
In any case kids spam everywhere

>PS4 was lead platform
Calling bullshit on that one. It runs too well with far too many customisation options for that to be true on pc

Mcree is the best Offfensive character in the game

How soon can I find a Chinese key for this pile on ebay for less than $20

It's not listed, but the second part of her passive ability is that you automatically regenerate health after not taking damage for a few seconds.

>Bastion not OP

Fly away to other friend far away and you regain health when you don't hit in a while

You heal over time. Sometimes you die because your team sucks dick. Sometimes you die because their Genji/Tracer/McCree/Mei/Hanzo/Widowmaker were fucking godly.

>Zenyatta
>Only usable

I heard you like taking 50% extra damage from all sources faggot.

I played my first match as Mercy yesterday and didn't get a single like or whatever it was. I didn't think I did THAT bad, I healed everyone in my vicinity, kept the power boost on whenever everyone was topped off, and revived when it was available. Should I be doing anything else?

Are you sure? I KNOW for a fact that I was playing with Koreans once they got into the beta and i KNOW for a fact switching regions kept my stuff (contrary to every other Blizzard game so far). This could have just been an early beta thing though since the pool of players was smaller.

Yes. It can clear points.
You know what else can clear points? Every other offensive ult ever. Except those actually kill your enemies instead of making them run away.

Both her ult and her character are bad.

Popularity of Widow and Mcree.

His orbs now require LoS to keep on where before they only required LoS to apply.

Just popped in with an absolutely friendly reminder that Tracer is actually one of the best and most fun characters in the game.

People are mad as fuck about her because she's the game's official mascot and they clearly don't know how to use her properly so it's easier to just shitpost.

Thanks for reading.
