While VallaвЂ™s Hungering Arrow and Multishot builds got nerfed this patch, her auto-attack builds received some nice buffs which still make her a viable pick. These heroes make up most of the recent meta, so a lot of players will be decent in utilizing their skills. Heroes in the A-tier are good all-rounders that pair well with others in other tiers. His Weighted Pustule got nerfed but now he gains more damage and heals which still lets him comfortably stay in the highest tier. Stukov, even before the latest patch, was a great pick for a healer. She received an additional charge to Vault, more damage overall, and a silence which all makes her a very strong pick. Maiev got a huge buff on one of the latest patches which easily takes her to S tier. He has a bit lower health pool than other tanks but manages to compensate for that with great damage.

This aggressive Tank still manages to disrupt the enemy team with ease and stay in the top tier. Paired up with Assassins, Diablo becomes a great peel option and manages well with his self-sustain, damage, and enemy displacement which makes picking off very easy with almost no drawbacks. His only drawback has been the positioning factor since he is very vulnerable to crowd control. Tychus is good for chipping away at opponentsвЂ™ huge health pools and clearing waves of enemies. You have to be mindful of your positioning when playing Junkrat. Diving and crowd control are what stops him from demolishing everyone since he is so squishy. He is one of those heroes thatвЂ™s always a top tier if played right. Being able to deal damage to multiple heroes at once is a great bonus for this hero. Scaling into the late game, clearing waves, zoning, and long-range, Junkrat has it all. Overall a great pick for following up on your teammates and clearing the wave.Д«urst damage is what becomes a real problem for Mephisto, play around that and you have yourself a great meta pick.ДЄ great pick for a bruiser, able to sustain himself with Essence Collection and dominate enemies with huge single-target damage and crowd control. Mephisto excels at team play and securing kills. They have great stats, along with extremely useful skills that always give their team the advantage in fights. These heroes are almost certainly picked first thanks to their ability to dictate the flow of the game. They are also usually squishier (easier to kill) than their melee counterparts. Ranged Assassin вЂ“ The same as Melee Assassin, but they attack from long range.

Melee Assassin вЂ“ These are pure attackers that deal massive damage to opponents in close range.Healer вЂ“ Heroes that focus on healing allies and mitigating the damage dealt to the party.

Conversely, they can also impede opponentsвЂ™ advances through de-buffs and other status-changing abilities. Support вЂ“ Heroes that provide buffs and utility skills to other allies.In turn, they have good damage potential, which makes them a hybrid balance of offense and defense. Bruiser вЂ“ Not as defense-oriented as tanks.They usually last longer than others in clashes/team fights. Tank вЂ“ Heroes that protect their team from incoming attacks.Each hero in HOTS is assigned a role out of the six enumerated here: As such, each hero is ranked depending on these factors. Team synergy, positioning, and coordination are the building blocks to winning in the game.
