What the tiers mean
S tierThe strongest picks this patch – high win rates and rated top by every source we used.
A tierStrong, dependable picks you can play in almost any match.
B tierFine in the right team or map, but not meta-defining.
C and D tierBelow-average results right now. Still playable if you know them well.
Good to know
Win rates move a lot in the first week after a patch – Doomfist, Juno, Mercy, Ashe and Widowmaker sit close to the line between two tiers.
The Nov 3 patch buffed Junker Queen, Reaper, Brigitte and Illari and nerfed D.Mon, Doctrine, Jetpack Cat and Ana's Biotic Grenade; the Nov 5 hotfix buffed Wrecking Ball.
A low tier does not make a hero bad – it means it is winning less than average right now in Competitive.
