Wrecking Ball Tier Rating - A-tier

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

At the start of Season 10 of Overwatch 2, Wrecking Ball got buffs to his Grappling Claw, Adaptive Shield, and Minefield abilities. The most significant change is that he can now redistribute his overhealth from Adaptive Shield to nearby allies. We'll have to see how things go in the near future, but so far, we think this bumps him to at least an A-tier Tank.
