Contents
S Tier
Lucio
Blizzard EntertainmentLucio still remains a key support in piloting many compositions, with his capacity to speed up all allies massively, his kit places him as a welcome addition into any team comp regardless of the meta. Alongside that, Lucio has one of the best forms of mobility in wall riding. So if you have no idea what to play, just pick Lucio.
Kiriko
BlizzardWhen it comes to flex supports, Kiriko is always a great choice no matter the composition. Her Suzu is fantastic for cleansing or countering game-winning ults, she has great mobility, great damage output (if you’re mechanically skilled enough to land kunai headshots), and enough healing to keep your team alive. And when paired with Lucio, the both make a rock solid back line.
A Tier
Moira
Blizzard EntertainmentBefore Season 9, Moira was considered to be the dark horse of the supports. Outside of providing high levels of healing and poke damage, she had no utility in her kit that helped her team. With the dive-heavy meta of Season 9, survivability has become key for support, making Moira one of the best support heroes around with her self-sustain, Fade, and Healing Orb.
Baptiste
Blizzard EntertainmentBaptiste may not be as well-rounded as Kiriko on the flex support role, however, if your team is running a poke comp, there’s no better support to pick than Baptiste. With the right player behind him, Bap can almost function as a second hitscan DPS for the team, all the while healing the team. And with Immortality Field and Amp Matrix being helpful to save a teammate from death or shift the tempo, Bap is a great pick. Although, only under the right circumstances.
B Tier
Zenyatta
BlizzardZenyatta mains had their time in the spotlight in Season 9, however, with S10 here, he’s seen himself take a notch down further. In a meta that’s focused on dive/brawl, it can be hard for Zenyatta to stay alive. Although Discord orb still remains powerful, it can only be so powerful when the enemy Tank and DPS is targeting your backline.
Brigitte
Blizzard EntertainmentBrigitte may not be a hero you pick in every lobby, but she’s incredibly effective at her job as an anti-dive peel support. Her Inspire passive gives a good amount of healing while her ultimate Rally makes her ridiculously tanky and provides a Stun to her Shield Bash.
Ana
Blizzard EntertainmentAna definitely took a heavy hit with the new Season 9 changes. And now in Season 10, it’s still the same. Ana struggles keeping alive, having to fend off Tracers or Sombras all while somehow keeping alive. And with such limited amount of self-peel and mobility, it just makes her a target in the backline. However, her Sleep Dart and Anti-Healing Grenade still remains powerful.
C Tier
Illari
Blizzard EntertainmentIllari is not at her best right now. Although she can output a lot of damage and healing, she’s just not as lethal as some other heroes. Her kit is fine, however, why would you want an Illari when you could have a Kiriko that can not only output as much damage and healing as her but also cleanse effects? In fact, a single well-placed Kiriko suzu completely negates Illari’s ult.
Lifeweaver
Blizzard EntertainmentLifeweaver remains an oddball in Overwatch 2. With a kit that primarily focuses on repositioning allies, his abilities can find usage in the hands of a good player. However, he requires far more skill than the other supports, meaning you’ll often get more value from the other selections on this list. Lifeweaver does do a bit better in Season 9, with good positioning and good healing, but he remains an out-of-place character among the support line up.
Mercy
Blizzard EntertainmentMercy has had a rough time in Season 9 of Overwatch 2. With the healing reduction from the DPS passive, Mercy can only heal a measly 44 HP per second, making her rather weak when compared to the other supports. Especially since she doesn’t provide any other utility outside of her resurrection, you’re better off picking other supports until Blizzard buffs her healing potential.
