Skulz's Overwatch Competitive Hero Tier List April 2018
The Overwatch Competitive Hero Tier List for April 2018 is ready. All the heroes are split in groups based on their popularity in pro games.
All heroes are arranged in six tiers based on their time played in pro games. The usage rate in each map is helpful to understand in which battlefield a hero shines the most.
The requisites for each tier never change. The goal is offering a neutral comparison that shows how the meta evolves over time.
The win rate has no effect on the tiers. The tiers depend only on the hero usage time, and aren't affected either by the win rate of a hero or by their performance in pub matches.
No personal opinions. Every month, we will see which heroes raised or declined in rank solely through the statistics.
The tier list includes all matches played from April 1st to 26th.

The characters are ordered according to this month's tier list.
The tables are responsive. If you are using a phone, you may have to turn it sideways for a full view. Otherwise, zoom in or click the top grey area to swipe it.
