Compared with the 7-day tier list ending September 28, 2026, 30 heroes changed tier.
New in the tier list
Tier lists before October 10, 2026 averaged every rank instead of using Blizzard's own all-ranks figures, so part of these moves comes from that change rather than the meta.
How tiers are computed
Pick-rate-weighted win rate and average pick rate are z-scored within this slice. Composite score = 0.7 * z(win_rate) + 0.3 * z(pick_rate). Heroes are sorted by score and bucketed by score percentile.
- Pick-rate floor: heroes below 0.5% pick rate in the slice are excluded.
- Score weights: 0.7 x z(win rate) + 0.3 x z(pick rate).
- Tier cutoffs (by score percentile, of 54 eligible heroes): S = top 8% · A = top 17% · B = top 25% · C = top 25% · D = top 25%.
