Overwatch 2 Tier List and Most Played Heroes in January 2025
The Overwatch 2 Tier List splits the heroes in four tiers based on their popularity at Grandmaster. Find out the top 20 most played heroes by rank in January 2025.
Based on popularity. The tier list is based exclusively on the popularity of a hero at Grandmaster. The win rate has no effect on the tiers, but is included to determine the most outstanding heroes in a particular tier.
No pro data. The performance of a hero when used by pro players and teams doesn’t influence the tiers as I wanted to create something useful for us ranked players.
The requisites for each tier never change. The tiers are viewed as clusters of data, and each hero is placed in the one they are closer the most. The goal is offering a neutral comparison that shows how the meta evolves over time.
No personal opinions. I hope that my statistical-based approach is a good attempt to provide a reliable list for all the casual and ranked players.
Only PC. This list includes no data from consoles.
Source of the data
Blizzard has not released an Overwatch API to access the data of all players in the game. However, there are several websites that gather data from their users, and I decided to utilize the statistics provided by Overbuff as it is the most popular one.
This tier list contains all matches played at Grandmaster in January 2025. I will update it monthly with fresh data.
