Overwatch 2 picks rates: Most popular characters in Season 11

Overwatch 2 has an expansive roster of characters but which of the game’s heroes are the most popular in the current meta? We’ve outlined the top pick rates for Season 11.

With 40 characters available to play in Overwatch 2, it can be difficult to know which heroes are the best in each role.

This is even more difficult to establish as OW2 is regularly updated with new content and balance patches, shifting the power level of different characters and adding new faces to the roster.

Despite this, certain heroes always stand out as meta choices and this is usually reflected in their picks rates.

While popularity isn’t always what you should base your character selection on in Overwatch 2, it is a good indication of a hero’s power.

Overwatch 2 pick rates: Most popular heroes in Season 11

According to Overbuff, as of July 1, 2024, the most popular hero in Overwatch 2 is Mercy with a 15.82% pick rate, Ana following in second at 10.13%, and Moira in third at 8.01%.

It is worth noting, however, that the main reason Mercy has such a high pick rate in Season 11 is thanks to the return of the Pink Mercy skin, not due to some major buffs.

Widowmaker is the most popular character in the damage role sitting in fifth at 3.44% and D.Va is the most picked tank at sixth with 3.19%.

Generally, as Seasons go along, you’ll find the likes of Ana, Moira, and Kiriko topping the list thanks to their great kits and intuitive design. It’s quite rare to see Mercy consistently at the top, but in the case of Season 11, she is for now.
