This page will always show the latest Overwatch tier list for ranked, competitive play specifically on Nepal  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 Nepal. 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.

 

Tier List Descriptors

Tier 1 - These popular Heroes are used by the majority of teams, for the majority of any match. They're always a solid 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. 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)

Tier List Movement

  • Added Ana
  • Added Sombra

Tier 1

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Lucio [Guide] Support Medium  Providing mobility, passive healing, a knockback and an awesome ultimate.  Getting to the point first is crucial on Nepal and Lucio will get you there.  He'll also knock enemies off the map which is a nifty bonus. 
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 and an ultimate that can clear the point when required.  
McCree [Guide] Assault Medium A well rounded solid pick. High damage and an invaluable stun.
Mercy [Guide] Support Medium High single target healing while offering a damage boost, she also has an amazing Ultimate to revive her team.
Roadhog [Guide]  Tank Medium Great sustain and can hold the point well. Invaluable hook can win fights.
Zarya [Guide] Tank Medium Solid projectile damage, an incredible Ultimate and very useful shielding for her and her team. 

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. 
Genji [Guide] Assault Hard High single target damage, mobility and an invaluable deflect. Highly effective in the right hands.
Pharah [Guide] Assault Medium Her biggest asset on Nepal is her ability to disrupt the enemy.   Stay high and continually push opponents out of position. 
Reaper [Guide] Assault Medium High close quarter damage with a powerful Ultimate.  The close quarters combat of Nepal is in his wheelhouse. 
Soldier 76 [Guide] Assault Easy An very useful ultimate (aim-bot!) and consistent, high damage. Easy to play but doesn't excel anywhere.
Winston [Guide] Tank Easy Very weak currently. Hoping for some form of buff in the future.
Zenyatta [Guide] Support Medium

A very strong second healer currently.


Tier 4

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Junkrat [Guide] Defence Medium Great at forcing enemies off the point and suppressing them.   Not so great at holding the point himself. 
Mei [Guide] Defence Hard Good self sustain, high damage poke, amazing slows and annoying walls.   Nepal forces the enemy to group up and that's perfect for Mei. Too bad the dual healer meta makes her almost useless.
Sombra [Guide] Assault Hard Her skill ceiling is high, but she can contribute if played well. 
Tracer [Guide] Assault Hard A great Tracer can keep Overtime going indefinately, but there are better choices. 

Tier 5

Guide

Role

Difficulty

Description

Bastion [Guide] Defence Easy Hard to find good positions on these static maps.  A weak choice against good players. 
Hanzo [Guide] Defence Medium Nepal wasn't made to be heavenly for snipers and Hanzo feels it. 
Symmetra [Guide] Defence Easy Teleporter isn't of great use on these maps.  A weak choice. 
Torbjorn [Guide] Defence Easy Automated turrets are a nuisance, but there are few spots where they can be both protected and effective.
Widowmaker [Guide] Defence Medium See Hanzo:  These maps are not particularly sniper friendly.
