Best Overwatch 2 support tier list: Most popular characters for Season 11

In Overwatch 2 Season 11, a lot of things have changed for support, and knowing which ones are the meta is key, so here’s our tier list of who are the best.

Your squad relies on good support to keep the team healthy and help take those wins. With every new season, the meta changes, and the top-tier Heroes evolve. To keep you on the winning side, we’ve analyzed the latest data and updated our picks for Season 11.

Based on the data available via Overbuff and how we’ve felt the meta play out, here is how the different support heroes stack up to each other.

S Tier

Lucio

Lucio still remains a key support in piloting many compositions, with his capacity to speed up all allies massively, his kit places him as a welcome addition into any team comp regardless of the meta. Alongside that, Lucio has one of the best forms of mobility in wall riding. So if you have no idea what to play, just pick Lucio.

Kiriko

When it comes to flex supports, Kiriko is always a great choice no matter the composition. She has great mobility, great damage output (if you’re mechanically skilled enough to land kunai headshots), and enough healing to keep your team alive. Although, her Suzu was nerfed in the Season 11 patch, but it’s still a fantastic ability, and when paired with Lucio, they both make a rock-solid backline.

A Tier

Baptiste

Baptiste may not be as well-rounded as Kiriko in the flex support role, however, if your team is running a poke comp, there’s no better support to pick than Baptiste. With the right player behind him, Bap can almost function as a second hitscan DPS for the team, all the while healing the team. And with Immortality Field and Amp Matrix being helpful to save a teammate from death or shift the tempo, Bap is a great pick. Although, only under the right circumstances.

Ana

Ana may have taken a dip in recent seasons, however, after Season 10’s changes she’s back on upper echelon of Supports. With a great kit that provides steady healing, great damage, and anti-nades that could win games, she’s an overall great pick — but be wary of her lack of mobility.

Moira

Although not exactly meta in the top play, for most players, Moira is still quite powerful in Season 11 as she can dish out tons of healing and damage while having enough mobility to peel or escape dives, which is what makes up for Moira’s lack of utility. With brawl becoming the meta in Season 10, she’s definitely not a bad choice.

B Tier

Brigitte

Brigitte may not be a hero you pick in every lobby, but she’s incredibly effective at her job as an anti-dive peel support. Her Inspire passive gives a good amount of healing while her ultimate Rally makes her ridiculously tanky and provides a Stun to her Shield Bash.

Illari

Illari has gotten quite the buff in Season 11’s update, with her Healing Pylon and Outburst getting improvements, and with it, she moves up in the list. Illari’s healling output is now higher, and so is her ability to escape dives, however, she still remains a weak pick in comparison to other flex supports like Kiriko, Ana, and Moira.

C Tier

Zenyatta

In a meta that’s focused on brawl, it can be hard for Zenyatta to stay alive, especially now in Season 11. Although Discord orb still remains powerful, it can only be so powerful when the enemy Tank and DPS are targeting your backline and you’re the easiest target.

Lifeweaver

Lifeweaver remains an oddball in Overwatch 2. With a kit that primarily focuses on repositioning allies, his abilities can find usage in the hands of a good player. However, he requires far more skill than the other supports. Lifeweaver can still do good in Season 11, but you’re better off choosing other heroes on this list.

Mercy

Mercy has had it rough for a very long time, and in Season 11, it’s no different. With a measly 55 healing per second, it just isn’t enough to compete with the likes of Kiriko and Baptiste. Not only that, her Resurrect — although annoying to play against — can be easily countered, and her lack of damage dealing is the ultimate killer. She unfortunately just doesn’t provide enough utility to her team.
