Who are the best Overwatch 2 Season 3 characters?
The best heroes in Overwatch 2 currently are Mercy, Sojourn, Reinhardt, Cassidy, and Sigma, with all of them currently being S-tier.
Mercy received a nerf for Season 3, but her incredible healing – especially for teammates below 50% health — means that she’s still a great pick in Overwatch 2, regardless of your skill level.
Season 3’s pick-based meta makes Sojourn an excellent pick for damage players, with her still being supremely powerful – especially when played alongside a damage-boosting Mercy. Cassidy has climbed up the ranks in season 3, with him able to handily take on tanks while possessing a devastating ultimate ability.
Reinhardt has excellent objective play in Season 3, with a skilled player able to completely control the ground game, forcing opponents to reposition and take the high ground in order to beat him. Sigma is another top-tier tank, with his kit allowing him to dish out damage behind his shield and stun enemies, giving him a lot of favorable match-ups while also being able to play defensively.
