The strongest overwatch hero

Overwatch is a quite balanced game, so it’s impossible to say that one of the heroes is much stronger than another one. The strengths of each hero are situational and of course, strongly depend on the player’s skill. The list below includes the heroes who show the best results.

Top overwatch heroes with highest win rate

Symmetra

The hero who is the most difficult to master at the same time has the highest win rate and the lowest pick rate. She is the most versatile support hero in the game. The sole reason why she isn’t nerfed to oblivion is that only several people can play the hero properly.

Torbjörn

In addition to having the second highest win rate, he also has the highest kills/deaths ratio, which is not surprising - his main weapon is the turret after all. The turret is always on the frontline, but Torbjörn is quite a strong fighter even without it.

Lucio

Lucio is the most popular hero on this list and undoubtedly an imbalanced one. Lucio becomes a good pick in almost every game thanks to the combination of healing, allies supporting and excellent performance in terms of speed, mobility, and damage. It’s hard to imagine any other hero making a similar supporting contribution and being strong in 1v1 scenarios against the others.

D.Va

The popularity of D.Va is largely based on the successful design and hero character. However, she still has 53,5$ win rate and takes the fourth place in our list of top Overwatch heroes.

Zenyatta

This hero, just as the leader of our top, is very difficult to master. Obviously, the time and effort spent on mastering such a hero bear fruits. If you have a player who can properly play the hero, your chances to win are increased significantly.

Own choice

If you are a new player, there is no need to master all the heroes from the list above, it just shows the overall situation in the game. Players should use this statistic data to decide which hero they want to master first, while the developers should consider it before making any changes to the game balance. Symmetra is the strongest hero of the game thanks to the professional and high-skilled players, while the others make her the least popular one.

Your own choice should be based not on statistics or win/loss ratio but on your personal experience. You can pick an unpopular, unusual hero and practice it from a to z, and it can be very useful for your team instead of picking Symmetra without knowing how to place the turrets and portals.

A correct option is to choose a hero based on the in-game situation. Overwatch as a competitive game allows you to change your hero during the match and adjust to your opponent’s game style.
