![]() The Shield Bash damage has been decreased from 50 to 5, so now the damage potential of her stun combo is weaker. ![]() I believe the popularity of the latter might drop once the changes of the PTR will reach the Live client. We are witnessing more variants of the original GOATS: for example, some teams are trying Mei in place of D.Va or Brigitte. A month later, the Deathball lineups are still dominating the game.Įven if from our data the hero distribution in pub games is still the same, pro players are constantly testing new compositions. In the October Meta Report, I have explained in detail the GOATS composition and gameplay, how to counter it, and the differences with Dive. The only exceptions are Brigitte - who surpassed Zenyatta - and Lucio, which pick rate increased from 6.2% to 8.2%. In particular, the most picked ones at GrandMaster are exactly the same, and with a very similar order. There are almost no differences between the top 10 most popular heroes by rank in October and November. Note: If you would like to know all the updates that affected a specific hero over time, I am maintaining an account of all the hero balance changes, and two lists on the PTR and Live client patch notes released in 2018. Mercy is still a predominant pick at lower ranks, but even if recently Blizzard slightly buffed her by reducing the ultimate cost and increasing the healing per second from 50 to 60, she isn’t tier 1 material anymore (or even tier 2), so most experienced players migrated onto other heroes. The adjustments that affected them in the past months brought to the rise of the healer with the highest skill requirements in the game: Ana. I have explained the situation of Mercy and Ana in the August Meta Report. ![]() You know how much I love our Swedish engineer, and even if I believe his usefulness and adaptability have been drastically improved, it is still very hard to justify his presence in most lineups. Unfortunately, the recent Torbjorn rework didn’t turn him into a popular meta hero. Even if the data isn’t perfect, we can trust it.Ī brief summary of the data The Torbjorn rework Not long ago, Jeff Kaplan shared the official data on season 9, and the figures were mostly similar to the ones available on Overbuff. 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. Unfortunately, Blizzard has not released an Overwatch API to access the data of all players in the game, so this list displays no official info. Only PC. This list includes no data from console. General and rank-based meta. The best picks at GrandMaster can differ a lot from the ones at Gold, so I produced both a general ranked tier list and many rank-based ones to point out the meta differences in each rank. No pro data. The performance of a hero when used by pro players and teams doesn’t influence the tiers. The win rate is considered only to determine the most outstanding heroes in a particular tier. But for the hardcore Overwatch community, these memes are well and truly dank.Based on popularity. The tier list is based exclusively on the popularity of a hero in ranked games. If you don't regularly play Overwatch, it's possible that these memes won't make a lick of sense. Whether you've grown to hate a character or grown to love a feeling specific to a character, the Overwatch community has you covered with a wealth of memes that perfectly convey your feelings. ![]() And what do you do when you notice the little quirks specific to your favorite game? Obviously, you make memes. After all, when you've logged 500 hours on D.Va and you've played every map in the game more times than you can count, you start to pick up on the little peculiarities in the game and in the community. But like any popular game, it's not without its quirks. With its fast, team-based gameplay, cast of colorful characters, and addictive gameplay, Overwatch is the kind of game that just keeps you coming back for more. Finding a game you want to sink hours upon hours into is a special kind of feeling, and it's exactly the kind of feeling you get when you pick up Overwatch. ![]()
