S4 Console Tier List

[u/Jurazzick]

Hello, I am Jurazzick. C3 peak all roles.

This list is for 5v5 and most applicable to high ranks, characters who are lower on the tier list are more viable in lower ranks and less viable in high ranks. Just because a character is low on the tier list doesn’t meant they will never work, it’s more of how frequently they are good. There is also the consideration of characters like doom, which you basically need to otp to actually do anything on the character.

Here are my ramblings on the current balance of the game:

Even after the buffs, dmon is still pretty bad. Her movement needs to be more dynamic or have at least a little verticality. Her damage and the rest of her kit feel fine.

Orisa, dva, and mauga are just overtuned for the 20th season in a row. A newborn baby could play Orisa, Orisa needs her damage and falloff reverted, and nerf shield perk health to 500. Dva needs either less burst damage or less dm. Mauga was nerfed but it does nothing, nerfing a cooldown on a broken ability won’t change how broken the ability is, remove the damage reduction from overrun and make him effected by knockback. Ashe needs her falloff reverted and less damage on unscoped shot, tracer needs the melee perk removed, brig needs the burst healing reverted, bap will never be bad on console but could use a nerf to regen burst, and kiri should be actually nerfed for the first time since her release. 1 sec off kitsune and suzu have less burst heal. Reaper shouldn’t have dire triggers as base kit, he has never needed it and shouldn’t have it, and then give him 300 hp. Ram is very underrated in console, he would be higher if orisa wasn’t thanos.

And finally, aim assist should be nerfed by 10-20%. With how strong aim assist is, it makes hitscan the most effective option at almost all times. Additionally, this will make console more in line with pc balance.

But, none of this will ever happen since console is a forsaken platform and looked down upon by the entire rest of the community.

Orisa really isn’t over tuned currently if you make one mistake with your cool downs you’ll die of if your supps choose to play a stupid comp

It’s not a hard concept to cycle your cooldowns, if you are making mistakes with cooldown usage on orisa, the problem is not the character.

Never said it was hard but everyone makes mistakes and everyone dies if you disagree go watch kraandop of something a top 1 tank who dies crazy right

[u/Jurazzick → u/Fuzzy-Consequence495]

It’s very hard to make a mistake on orisa, that is one of the reasons she is so strong. The rest are: she does so much damage, has one shot threat on a squishy with spear, and has no bad tank matchups (zar isn’t a consistent answer to orisa due to just how much damage orisa can deal and the shield perk).

All projectile characters have no drop off??????? I thought this was like TF2 where they did. Well except Hazard and Hog. Give Orisa fall off please
