Overview

Welcome to our Overwatch Stadium Tier List that covers the best heroes for each role in the current meta. This list will always be updated with the live meta and is currently based on the February 13th Hotfix Patch for Season 1.

Below the rankings, you’ll also find links for the best build for each hero and an explanation of the thought process behind the build and what makes it strong.

Two of the biggest factors influencing a hero’s viability in Stadium are how quickly they farm cash in the early rounds and how effectively their powers and items scale up as the match progresses. Also, the small size of maps and the short round timer favor strategies that rely on quick, decisive fights.

As with all of our tier lists, we recommend starting with the heroes you gravitate toward and that best suit your playstyle and preferences. Then, use these rankings when you want help optimizing your picks as you climb through the ranks.

Tank Commentary

Tanks

Top Tier: Hazard, Junker Queen
High Tier: Sigma, Reinhardt, Orisa, Doomfist
Mid Tier: D.Va, Zarya
Low Tier: Winston

The nice thing about Tanks in Stadium is that you can pick last after you've seen what DPS and Supports both teams have locked in. Since you can't counterpick and are instead limited to counterbuilding, the Tanks with the versatility to build around their natural counters are far more consistent than Tanks relying on a linear gameplan that the enemy team can easily build to counter.

Hazard and Junker Queen both start off strong and are able to gain the economy lead in the early rounds. Their late-game builds are incredibly strong as well. Currently, they are a cut above the rest of the Tanks in Stadium.

DPS Commentary

Top Tier: Ashe, Junkrat, Freja
High Tier: Soldier: 76, Sojourn, Vendetta
Mid Tier: Cassidy, Torbjörn, Tracer, Pharah, Mei
Low Tier: Genji, Reaper

DPS heroes have a lot of versatility in Stadium. Depending on preference and the matchup, they can all greatly alter their playstyles to fit the occasion.

Regardless of who you pick, the most important quality a DPS hero can possess in Stadium is burst damage. All the DPS ranked in the top and high tiers have builds with massive burst damage that enable them to delete Tanks or squishies.

Lower-ranked DPS heroes can still work, but they get outclassed by the rest of the roster and struggle to keep up in the later rounds.

Support Commentary

Top Tier: Zenyatta, Moira
High Tier: Brigitte, Juno, Kiriko, Mercy
Mid Tier: Wuyang, Ana
Low Tier: Lúcio

Supports are far more than healbots in Stadium. The best Supports bring utility to their team that exceeds simple sustain. Because most heroes already gain a decent amount of survivability in Stadium, the Supports with strong utility or debuffs bring much more impact.

Zenyatta's Discord is one of the best abilities in the whole game for burning through the extra health in Stadium. His damage is crazy, and once he has Soul Control, it's very hard to eliminate him. Moira's Damage Orbs are excellent at applying debuffs to the entire enemy team from items like Cyber Venom and Liquid Nitrogen. Thanks to her self-heal, lifesteal, and Fade, she's incredibly self-sufficient.
