Which heroes are the strongest in Overwatch 2 competitive ranked mode, the best healers or the best tanks? We address this question for Season 2 of the hero shooter, which starts today, and present the current hero meta of Overwatch 2.
What's it about? In Overwatch 2, you have the choice between various game modes, with Unranked and Ranked modes being the most frequently played modes. In our Tier List, we've already clarified which heroes are the best for Casual/Normal Mode. Now we turn to you, a pro who always goes with the meta even in Competitive Ranked and chooses the best hero here.
The best heroes for Overwatch 2 competitive ranked mode (October 2022).
Before we go into detail, let's list the best heroes once for the overview:
- Best Support: Lucio, Kiriko
- Best Tank Heroes: Roadhog, Doomfist
- Best Damage Dealer: Tracer, Reaper
The best Support Hero meta for Competitive Ranked in Overwatch 2 Season 2.
Lucio was already the most popular support hero in the first season of Overwatch 2. The reason is his high mobility, high healing rate, and comparatively easy play style. For Kiriko, it was not enough for a podium in the S-tier last season. But now she's catching up:
- Lucio: Lucio can still take out many enemies on his own. His simple controls and simple damage and speed buff do the rest.
- Kiriko: Thanks to various buffs to her abilities and ammo pool, you can now play her a bit more offensively. The nerf to her Ultimate does not affect her rank in the S-Tier, though.

Here is the tier list of the best support heroes in the current meta of Overwatch 2 Season 2.
Best Tank Hero Meta for Competitive Ranked in Overwatch 2 Season 2.
D.VA has long been considered too strong by many players in Overwatch 2. The reason for this is their high health points and the destructive damage that the tank deals out at the same time. The developers at Blizzard have listened to the criticism of the fans and have strongly generated the heroine. In return, they have improved Doomfist, the least played tank so far. So Doomfist and Roadhog now share the S-tier and are the best tanks in the current meta of Overwatch 2:
- Roadhog: This hero continues to wreak havoc on enemies, has a gigantic pool of health at 700 HP, which he can also recharge regularly. He can also push back the entire enemy team with the help of his Ultimate. Roadhog is perhaps not only the best tank in Overwatch 2, but one of the strongest characters ever.
- Doomfist: This underdog has also received some buffs to his abilities. Among other things, he now deals significantly more damage with his missile strike, which now also reaches further. In addition, the cooldown of his block has been reduced.

Best DPS Hero Meta for Competitv Ranked in Overwatch 2 Season 2.
The former best DPS heroes Genji and Sojourn have to say goodbye at this point and make room for a new old squad of heroes. Reaper and Tracer now take over the hero meta in the current Overwatch 2 Season 2 in terms of dealing damage.
- Reaper: one of the few heroes that didn't receive any adjustments in the patches around Season 2. Neither buff nor nerf, this is exactly what makes him a hell of a badass that can jump into combat and quickly warp out of it. He slipped to the "Best DPS Hero" rank here because the nerfs around Sojourn are particularly strong.
- Tracer: The developers have also barely touched Tracer. She is one of the best DPS heroes as ever, but due to the nerfs mentioned above, she is now probably the best DPS hero in the current meta in Season 2.
