With the launch of Overwatch 2 veterans and players new to the series are experiencing the reworks of different characters. A week after its launch a tier list was made to find out who is Overwatch 2’s best assault hero to play as in Season 1.
It’s important to understand regardless of where heroes are placed in the tier list, any character can be utilized in Overwatch 2. This means you can play a character ranked first and still lose or play a character ranked last and still win.
Assault (DPS) – Known by the community as DPS they are going to be focused on dealing heavy damage to enemies. Damage dealers require support from their teammates if they expect to come out of the battle with a victory.
Sombra falls in line with one of the more technical characters to play in Overwatch 2. However, once players get the hang of her she can easily become an absolute menace in battle. In Overwatch 2 Sombra will rely more on her damage than her hacking abilities. With her rework Sombra’s hacking ability now attaches a massive damage amplifier to enemies. Once invisible she can easily hack enemies and go on the offensive taking everyone by surprise.
Like Sombra, Genji is another technical hero to get used to. With his excellent mobility, Genji can easily maneuver around the map and catch enemies by surprise. Genji is a hero that can dish out quick and easy damage but will take practice to make this possible. Once mastered he turns into an absolute nightmare to go against. It’s no surprise he’s a favorite in the competitive leagues.
While Reaper is a close-range hero he can easily plow through all sorts of characters whether they’re the support, assault, or even tank role. Reaper can easily teleport and go invisible like Sombra and dish out heavy damage, especially if he has his Ultimate.
While these are Overwatch 2’s best assault heroes there are others that can still get the job done. Here are the other heroes ranked amongst the tier list.
Ashe, Sojourn, Soldier 76
Widowmaker, Hanzo, Pharah
Symmetra, Cassidy, Tracer, Echo
Torbjörn, Mei , Bastion
