Contents
S Tier
Moira
Blizzard EntertainmentMoira’s win rate has dipped a bit over the course of the season, but it’s now back over the 50% threshold. She does also have a top-five pick rate among supports and the highest KDA (6.43) in the role.
Kiriko
BlizzardJust like Moira, Kiriko is thriving in this new season with a top-five pick rate and a top-three KDA among Supports, despite her slightly sub-50% win rate.
Zenyatta
Blizzard EntertainmentHe’s not picked as often as Moira and Kiriko, but her very high win rate and KDAs are both eye-catching for her role. Absolutely an under-the-radar pick at the moment.
Ana
Blizzard EntertainmentAna continues to be the most-picked Support, and character, in Overwatch 2, despite the fact that her win rate is just above 49% and her KDA is fairly middle-of-the-pack. Her pick rate and success guarantee her an S-tier spot – despite her win rate probably being deflated by all the below-average players piloting her.
Illari
Blizzard EntertainmentIlari is the newest Support Hero to debut in Overwatch 2, and she has made quite the impression. Ilari has one of the highest win rates at 55.53% but her pick rate sits at 0.69%.
A Tier
Mercy
Blizzard EntertainmentMercy is the second most-picked support with a 50.08% win rate and a KDA of just over 4. She’s good, but probably picked a hair too much because of her popularity in the fandom.
B Tier
Lucio
Blizzard EntertainmentLucio has become a bit middle of the ground in Season 6 with a dropping pick rate (2.43%) and standard KDA – although his win rate is worth considering at 51.30%.
Brigitte
Blizzard EntertainmentBrigitte still has one of the highest win rates of any support hero in Season 6 at 54.49%. But her worryingly low pick rate (1.75) and above-average KDA continue to prevent her from being a contested support hero.
C Tier
Baptiste
Blizzard EntertainmentDespite the buffs, Baptiste still has one of the lowest win rates of all Overwatch supports, and Heroes, with only Lifeweaver and Ana fairing worse. Hopefully, players will begin to pick him up a bit and potentially raise up his performance.
Lifeweaver
Blizzard EntertainmentBlizzard has made adjustments to Lifeweaver’s kit since the Support Hero launched. Still, he stands at one of the lowest win rates (45.70%) in addition to a pick rate of 2.39%.
