Pharah Tier Rating - B-tier

We rate Pharah as a B-tier Damage hero in the current Overwatch 2 meta (among possible tiers of S, A, B, C, and D).

In professional and high-ranked Overwatch 2, Pharah has been mostly a niche pick. While her ability to fly makes her very difficult to kill at lower ranks, it can also make her a very vulnerable target against the best hitscan players.

One huge positive for Pharah is the high pick rates of the newest released Damage Hero Venture in Competitive matchmaking. Venture usually can't get close enough to Pharah when she's flying to be a true threat. The knockback effect of Pharah's Concussive Blast is also helpful in distancing Venture from yourself and your teammates.
