These heroes are less likely to be able to carry a game by themselves and are less popular to play. These HotS heroes are strong but not overpowered and can be countered.

These are the best/strongest characters in Heroes of the Storm right now. Avoid if you want to win, even if you are incredibly skilled. Even in niche situations, these Heroes of the Storm characters aren’t going to do well.

Don’t expect the game to be easy unless you have countered the enemy team. Tier C – These Heroes of the Storm heroes are going to require a skilled player and a team to build around them. Some of these heroes might be more utility and have a lower chance of carrying the game by themselves. Tier B – Good heroes but not as strong as A or S tier characters. Most heroes in this section are strong except in very rare scenarios. Tier A – Almost as strong as Tier S but have the potential to be outplayed or countered. Oftentimes considered broken, Tier S heroes can make the game feel impossible.

Tier S – These heroes are incredibly strong and even when they are countered have a high chance of winning. TL DR: If a hero is only strong in 1/10 games they rank lower. In other words, the viability of certain heroes like Murky or Gazlow in most scenarios is pretty low, therefore I rank them lower even though in the perfect game they might be unstoppable. Now, I know some people are going to say “hey, this hero is strong here and I do really well when x happens”, however, this tier list relies on what is likely to happen in most games and what is best in common scenarios.
