This page will always show the latest Overwatch tier list for ranked, competitive play specifically on Temple of Anubis. 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 Temple of Anubis. 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 1 - These popular Heroes are used by the majority of teams, for the majority of any match. They're always a strong choice (100% pickrate)
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)
