Overwatch 2 Support Heroes
As is usually the case, the support role in Overwatch 2 is usually overlooked and underappreciated.
Buffs and debuff abilities are used to help strengthen allies and weaken enemies.
Mechanics such as healing, shielding, and increasing and reducing damage are all key to a support kit.
Here is a list of all Overwatch 2 support heroes included.
- Ana
- Baptiste
- Brigitte
- Lucio
- Mercy
- Moira
- Zenyatta
Overwatch 2 Tank Heroes
Tanks are the foundation of any Overwatch team.
With big hulking figures, strength and toughness for days, these teammates are hard to take down.
They have less of a focus on damage output but act as a sponge for the squishier heroes.
Here are all of the tank heroes included.
- D.Va
- Doomfist
- Junker Queen
- Orisa
- Reinhardt
- Roadhog
- Sigma
- Winston
- Wrecking Ball
- Zarya
DPS Heroes
This is probably the most popular of all the roles in Overwatch.
DPS stands for damage per second... I'm sure you can guess what their abilities entail.
With such high damage output, they can struggle with a glass cannon playstyle. This is where the tank heroes come and help out.
All the DPS heroes in the game are...
- Ashe
- Bastion
- Echo
- Genji
- Hanzo
- Junkrat
- McCree
- Mei
- Pharah
- Reaper
- Soldier: 76
- Sombra
- Symmetra
- Torbjorn
- Tracer
- Widowmaker
New Overwatch 2 Heroes
Alongside the older heroes from the first Overwatch, there have been some new heroes announced for the release.
Junker Queen
The 2022 Xbox and Bethesda showcase announced the arrival of the Mad Max-styled hero to Overwatch 2.
As a tank hero, she will be one of the few tanks who are female.
She has been long-awaited as she was teased in a poster in Junkertown. But the wait is over as she will be playable from release.
Sojourn
Sojourn has been known for three years now. Arguably the most awaited new hero, this soldier will be fun to play.
Despite her role not yet being announced, it seems that she will fit nicely into the DPS role.
This is due to her cybernetic body enhancements, her energy-based repeater gun, and her rocket-boosted legs.
However, nobody has official information on this yet, so specifics will have to wait.
