Zenyatta Tier Rating - C-tier

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

As my favorite Support character, it pains me to say that Zenyatta is a C-tier hero in the current meta.

He's rated so low for two reasons. First, other Supports are VERY strong because they can easily output so much healing and have arguably superior abilities (like Lúcio's speed and Kiriko's Suzu). Second, Tracer and Sombra are very popular meta picks that hard-counter Zen. And good luck if the enemy runs both of these in a full dive composition.

If the enemy team isn't playing meta heroes and you're a really skilled Zenyatta, you can probably make it work or even dominate with him.
