This page will always show the latest Overwatch tier list for competitive play specifically on Hollywood for attacking and defending. If you want to view our "overall" Tier List, you can do so here.

This Overwatch tier list is designed to rank Heroes in terms of their strength in the current meta on Hollywood. Although some Heroes are considered balanced or niche, those that aren't Tier 1 or 2 shouldn't be considered poor. While any match can be won with any Hero, this list is designed to present you with the strongest or Heroes that are most often picked on this map.

Please also note that this list is built for Competitive Play.  The pros will and do pick different heroes as they play in an organized team-oriented environment.  


Tier List Descriptors

Tier 1 - These popular Heroes are used for the majority of any match. They're always a strong choice. 

Tier 2 - Very strong Heroes that are seen in every match, but they are also regularly swapped in and out (80%-100% pickrate)

Tier 3 - Strong situational Heroes or Heroes that are played regularly, but not in every match due to team composition or map choice. Considered 'balanced' (40%-80% pickrate).  

Tier 4 - These Heroes are sometimes picked and often considered good, but they require teams to form around them or they’re Heroes that rely heavily on personal ability over composition (20-40% pickrate).

Tier 5 - Considered niche, these Heroes are situational or rarely see competitive play (Less than 5% pickrate)

Attacking

Tier 1

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Lucio [Guide] Support Medium  Providing mobility, passive healing, a knockback and an ultimate ability that's far too strong, Lucio is the first pick.
Reinhardt [Guide] Tank Easy His Barrier Field combined with a powerful Ultimate allows for coordinated pushes against any team. A strong pick.

Tier 2

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

D.Va [Guide] Tank Medium  Good damage in close quarters, reasonable armor and two lives (human form). She's predictable but tough.
Genji [Guide] Assault Hard High single target damage, mobility and an invaluable deflect. Highly effective in the right hands.
McCree [Guide] Assault Medium Solid damage from medium range, high burst from his alternative fire and a very valuable stun. 
Roadhog [Guide]  Tank Medium His Hook is amazing at quickly bursting down single targets but he's an easy target with no means of mitigation.

Tier 3

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Ana [Guide] Support Hard Her skill ceiling is high and her kit isn't as impressive as some other Heroes. 
Junkrat [Guide] Defence Medium Good defensive capabilities but a slow kit and static traps in a mobile game make him a niche pick.
Mercy [Guide] Support Medium High single target healing while offering a damage boost, she also has an amazing Ultimate to revive her team.
Pharah [Guide] Assault Medium An amazing Ultimate ability, brilliant poke potential and incredibly annoying to fight against.
Reaper [Guide] Assault Medium High close quarter damage with a powerful Ultimate, just overshadowed by McCree.
Soldier 76 [Guide] Assault Easy An very useful ultimate (aim-bot!) and consistent, high damage. Easy to play but doesn't excel anywhere.
Zarya [Guide] Tank Medium Solid projectile damage, an incredible Ultimate and very useful shielding for her and her team. 
Zenyatta [Guide] Support Medium The current meta is a God-send to Zenyatta. 

Tier 4

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Mei [Guide] Defence Hard Good self sustain, high damage poke, amazing slows and annoying walls. There's very little Mei can't do to annoy other teams. 
Tracer [Guide] Assault Hard Great mobility, a reset in "Recall" and an Ultimate ability that can easily clear a room (Pulse Bomb).  Hard to be effective on this map due to it's vertical and narrow "tracks".
Winston [Guide] Tank Easy A highly mobile tank with poor damage. Does not fit well in the current meta. 

Tier 5

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Bastion [Guide] Defence Easy Powerful if the enemy doesn't know his position, he can be easily countered with a well placed Barrier or rocket. Not great on attack.
Hanzo [Guide] Defence Medium Slow damage output but useful vision and a strong Ultimate on some maps. 
Symmetra [Guide] Defence Easy Her kit is super passive, meaning she is terrible on attack.
Torbjorn [Guide] Defence Easy Automated turrets are a nuisance but against a coordinated team, easily killed. Can be ignored when attacking
Widowmaker [Guide] Defence Medium In the right hands, she is a menance. Unfortunately there are very few good sight lines on this map.
