Overwatch Season 2 "Summit" halfway meta snapshot: what's changed in 5 weeks

·Updated |Overwatch

Five weeks into Overwatch Season 2 Summit, the tier list has barely moved, which is unusual. The names leading each role at the four-week snapshot are still leading now, with a few fractional nudges and one flip at the top of Support. Here is the full picture from today's live community data.

Five weeks in

Season 2 Summit launched 2026-04-14 and runs through 2026-06-16, so we are at the halfway point. The first-month snapshot published 2026-05-12 flagged three things to watch: whether Torbjörn's 56% edge would survive a patch, whether the compressed Tank role would sort out, and where the Sierra, Venture, and Mei Damage cluster would land. This is where they stand.

The short version is that the top-five per role is almost identical to a week ago. The order shifted slightly in two roles, Mei dropped out of the Damage top five, and win rates drifted by fractions of a point. Nothing stormed in from outside the top five. Summit has been a stable season, which is either a sign of unusually good balance or a sign that no mid-season change has landed hard enough to reshape the leaderboard. All numbers below are shrunk win rates, 5V5, all game types, all ranks, aggregated across maps, from the current daily dataset.

Tank: Sigma climbs past Hazard, compression holds

The Tank top five at five weeks:

  • Reinhardt, 52.47% over ~94,700 matches
  • Sigma, 52.03% over ~91,700 matches
  • Hazard, 52.00% over ~39,100 matches
  • Domina, 51.85% over ~62,000 matches
  • Junker Queen, 51.81% over ~35,000 matches

The composition is unchanged from the first-month snapshot, but Hazard and Sigma swapped. A month ago Hazard was the surprise number two at 52.1%, level with Sigma and just behind Reinhardt. Now Sigma has pulled ahead at 52.03% on ~91,700 matches against Hazard's 52.00% on 39,100, and the larger sample makes that edge stickier than the decimals suggest. As for whether the compressed Tank role would sort out, not yet, since all five sit within 0.66pp of each other. Reinhardt holds at 52.47% on nearly 95,000 matches, the steadiest placement on the whole list, but his gap over Sigma is only 0.44pp, smaller than most seasons' top-two spread. Domina drifted from 51.9% to 51.85% while Junker Queen ticked up from 51.8% to 51.81%, both minor as the sample grew and shrinkage did less lifting. Junker Queen holding a top-five Tank spot across five weeks stays notable for a 5V5 season, since solo-tank pressure has historically punished her engage-and-recover playstyle.

Damage: Torbjörn holds, Mei drops out

The Damage top five at five weeks:

  • Torbjörn, 55.58% over ~39,900 matches
  • Symmetra, 53.29% over ~27,500 matches
  • Pharah, 52.79% over ~43,600 matches
  • Sierra, 52.04% over ~141,400 matches
  • Venture, 52.03% over ~25,700 matches

Torbjörn's 56% edge did not fully survive, slipping from 56.1% to 55.58%, about half a point. That is not a collapse. A shrunk win rate above 55% on ~40,000 matches is still the most dominant single-hero number in the game right now, and his gap over number two has barely narrowed. If mid-season balance touched him, it did not register in the aggregate. Symmetra slipped from 53.6% to 53.29%, still clearly second, with the passive chip-damage story that put her and Torbjörn on top early in the season unchanged. The most interesting move is Pharah, up from 52.7% to 52.79%, the only top-five Damage hero to gain ground, and on ~43,600 matches it is not noise, opening a real gap over the Sierra and Venture cluster below. As for the Sierra, Venture, and Mei question, Sierra and Venture held their fourth and fifth spots while Mei dropped out entirely. A month ago she was essentially tied with them at 52.1% on ~66,000 matches; now Venture holds fifth at 52.03% and Mei is out. The cluster did not consolidate, it thinned.

Support: Zenyatta takes the top spot

The Support top five at five weeks:

  • Zenyatta, 53.56% over ~101,900 matches
  • Illari, 53.55% over ~91,600 matches
  • Brigitte, 52.32% over ~43,700 matches
  • Lúcio, 51.66% over ~61,700 matches
  • Mizuki, 51.38% over ~123,500 matches

The headline is the swap at the top, Zenyatta now first and Illari second. A month ago it was reversed, Illari at 53.7% and Zenyatta at 53.6%. Now Zenyatta leads 53.56% to 53.55%, a single basis point. With over 100,000 matches behind Zenyatta and 91,600 behind Illari, this is not sample noise, but the gap is not meaningful in practice, so treat them as tied, since either is the right top Support pick for the season. Brigitte rose from 52.2% to 52.32% while the heroes below her drifted down, putting her about two-thirds of a point above Lúcio, which is a real tier boundary. Lúcio at 51.66% and Mizuki at 51.38% each dipped a fraction from the first-month numbers of 51.7% and 51.6%. Mizuki's 123,500-match sample makes his fifth-place placement very confident even though the absolute number is modest.

Who rose, who fell, who held

Risers: Pharah (52.7% to 52.79%), Sigma (third to second in Tank), Brigitte (52.2% to 52.32%), Zenyatta (up to first Support from second). Fallers: Torbjörn (56.1% to 55.58%, still dominant but off peak), Hazard (second to third Tank), Illari (first to second Support), Symmetra (53.6% to 53.29%), Mizuki (51.6% to 51.38%), Mei (out of the Damage top five). Held: Reinhardt (first Tank throughout), Domina (fourth Tank), Junker Queen (fifth Tank), Sierra (fourth Damage), Venture (fifth Damage), Lúcio (fourth Support). The biggest finding is that the top five is identical in Tank and Support, and in Damage only Mei changed. Summit has not had a mid-season swing.

What to watch before Season 3

Season 3 starts 2026-06-16, with four weeks of data still to come, and the final snapshot will publish in early June before the season closes. Torbjörn's lead is the thing to track, since the dip from 56.1% to 55.58% is mild but the trajectory is slightly down, and if a balance change catches him in the final stretch the closing snapshot will look different, while if his edge holds through June this is the strongest learn-this-hero-now signal Counterwatch has tracked for Damage in recent memory. The Zenyatta and Illari gap of one basis point is noise, and the final snapshot will settle which Support technically owned Summit, though both are the correct answer in practice. And the Tank compression, all five within 0.66pp, means one balance change to any of the top three could reshuffle the whole list before the season ends; if nothing changes, this may go down as the most balanced Tank pool of any 5V5 season in recent Overwatch history.
