KarQ ranks EASIEST to HARDEST Heroes in Overwatch 2 (TIER LIST)

I think one thing that's not being taken into accountability is survivability as well. Someone like Ana doesn't have a hard gameplan. But Landing sleep darts and having good positioning so you don't get dived can be difficult

To be honest, new heroes for people with fps experience and people without are very very different lists

This is a very good list. My only thought is that I've had trouble teaching long-time players Sigma, so I think he would probably be hard for most newbies. His shots move very slow, so aiming is tough. And while his shield is just a button, you have to adjust how far it goes and remember to pull it down or it doesn't offer much help. The rock is also slow and with an strange arc. And his ultimate is pretty easy to screw up, either by failing to anticipate player movement or failing to account for hacks/hooks/other stuns.

I'd say Zen should be in medium at least, he was the support that took me the most to make him work when I was a newbie. While his abilities are sort of throw and forget, they are also intuitive, specially now that discord can be LOS'd easier.

Would love a skill ceiling tier list too!

I’d personally put Sigma in hard, he’s actually very difficult for new players I’ve noticed. The thing is, new Sigma players often forget about his shield and don’t utilize it enough, so they end up dying and getting no value.

The heroes without much movement options tend to be harder for beginners like Anna or symmetra but overall it's pretty accurate

The ult for Echo is really what makes her difficult until you learn everyone. Her cooldowns are pretty impactful and you can easily assassinate tanks. Everything but ult is pretty easy to understand, but master, i wouldn't know yet.

I think a case can be made to put brig up a difficulty tier at least. Brig is pretty counter intuitive. She's a melee hero that really doesnt want to close, but wants to play against things that need to. Which is in no way apparent to new players, because her affordances give the impression that shes a frontline brawler and should be in the thick of things. And when their gameplay is already prone to various inconsistencies from lack of experience, they're not likely to understand why they die when they went too deep on the front when they get frequent reinforcement from other new players struggling to kill her there. I've seen a lot of new players gravitate to her because she looks simple, but just die repeatedly from inting and then swap because they see their healing numbers are really low.

Brig should go into medium or hard I think. I find that my beginner friends don't tend to have the patience or positioning and end up just playing her like Rein and dying.

Kiriko is considerably easier then ana and baptiste. One thing i think you forgot to take into account with healers is positioning and escapes. With kiriko you can always warp back to your team if your getting dived or out of position, and its much much easier to get farmed by enemy flankers if you are playing ana for example.

Something I've learned with Baptiste is, if you simply hold down both his primary and secondary fires simultaneously (left & right mouse buttons for me), by default he will automatically do his "shoot shoot heal" strat.

For me, both Baptist and Ana are harder to play and heal especially than Kiriko. With Ana it's all about aim, her healing darts and sleeping dart. I think it's the hardest heal to play.

As a new player id flip Pharah and Widow. It alot easier to hold space and spam into the general direction of the enemy than trying to actually get kills as widow and not get farmed by reaper or genji or any player that is better than you. Also I feel like down here at the bottom nobody really looks up.

I played post-rework torb a lot in overwatch 1 and with all the new players in 2 he's a dream. Throw the turret somewhere where the other team won't see it until the team fight starts, lob primary fires into their team before engaging, and just overload and rush them to get an easy pick or two. New players have no clue what to do, im effectively a second tank. I love it.

If you switch pharah and zenyatta places i think the list is pretty accurate. Pharah being called a "hard character" is actually the funniest thing to me.

Calling Widow point and click severely downplays how hard she is compared to a lot of other heros. Compare her to Ashe (who's in the same tier), who has Dynamite to help make up for the amount of shots that a "beginner" will miss which builds BOB. Widow is very feast or famine. If they're a brand new player they probably aren't going to be able to land thier shots and Widow doesn't have anything in her kit to make up for beginner aim. Her ult doesn't get any immediate value unlike something like BOB. I think her placement was the only one I really disagreed with specifically because you said "depends on how much fps experience they have" and the list is for beginner difficulty.

I think ana should be harder, just because her cooldowns are excruciatingly long, so if a new player misses a nade or a sleep dart you’re basically a weaker version of mercy, even worse if the new player in question has bad aim

I normally watch your main channel and didn’t know this one existed until today! I’m loving the casual vibe :) Great video - thank you!!

Generally like this list! Agree with others saying escapes are worth factoring in for supports - might even push Mercy to easy as it can be a little intimidating trying to defend yourself if your team aren't looking out for you (which, at an entry level, they often aren't). I'd also make a case for Pharah in easy - at a low level, you can play mostly ground Pharah the same way you might for low level Lucio, and get lots of value off her generous splash damage and bursty ult.
