Popular content creator Tom ‘Stylosa’ Stewart has unveiled his picks for the best Overwatch 2 heroes from his experience after playing in the closed beta.
Overwatch 2 was first announced during Blizzcon 2019 and experienced many delays since then. After almost two and a half years, players are finally getting a chance to experience the game in its closed beta.
Whether or not they will be lucky enough to get invited by Blizzard, they can still watch their favorite content creators play. One of those creators, Stylosa says he has put in around “30 to 40 hours, maybe even more” of high-level gameplay and has ranked every Overwatch 2 hero based on that.
Best Overwatch 2 Hero Tier List
Stylosa has had a long history in the Overwatch scene. Having over 4,500 uploads to his YouTube channel with a large portion of those being related to the game, as well as competitive experience – it’s fair to say he knows what he’s talking about.
During the 50-minute long YouTube video uploaded on the April 22, the creator made his own tier list, putting each hero into a category. These categories ranged from best (or “S TIER”) to worst (“NEED HELP”) with others for heroes that fell somewhere in between.

Other content creators have been sharing their own tier lists. Fans have pointed out that none of them seem to be remotely the same and are curious as to how these will change over the course of the beta and when the game officially releases.
The full closed beta for PC will begin on April 26 and Blizzard will be giving anyone who signs up a chance to play.
