How to counter Mizuki in 6v6

Support · Overwatch

The best counters to Mizuki in 6v6 right now are Hanzo, Genji, and Pharah, led by Hanzo at a +6.1 counter rating, about a +6% swing to an even fight. Every hero below is ranked by how hard they beat Mizuki in real duels and teamfights, all ranks, updated Jul 29, 2026.

Ratings blend one-on-one duel wins (about two thirds) with teamfight impact (one third) for most heroes, shifting fully to teamfights for heroes who rarely land the final blow, like many supports. It all comes from the kill feeds of community matches. Each hero's general strength is stripped out, so a high rating means the matchup itself is lopsided, not that the hero is simply strong. Match win rate is excluded on purpose: it punishes counter picks made from behind. Counters that work by blocking damage rather than dealing it, like D.Va's Defense Matrix, are understated by kill data.

How are Mizuki's Overwatch 6v6 counters calculated?

From the kill feeds of community 6v6 matches: who wins the one-on-one kill trades against Mizuki, and whose side dies more while both heroes are on the field. Each hero's general strength is stripped out so the rating reflects the matchup itself, and match win rate is excluded entirely because counter-swappers are usually already losing when they swap. Matchups need 50 or more contributing players to appear.

Are Mizuki's 6v6 counters different from 5V5?

Often, yes. This page is built only from 6v6 matches, so the ranking reflects how the matchup actually plays there. Team sizes, the hero pool and the pace all shift between modes, which moves who beats Mizuki and by how much. The 5V5 list is a separate page with its own ranking.

Who is Mizuki good against in Overwatch 6v6?

Mizuki punishes Tracer, Hazard, and Mauga hardest right now. If the enemy runs one of them, staying on Mizuki is usually right.

Should I swap off my main to counter Mizuki in Overwatch 6v6?

Only when the matchup is genuinely lopsided. Playing your best hero into a slightly bad matchup usually beats swapping to an unfamiliar counter: the data shows counter-swappers lose more often partly because they are off their main. Use the ratings here to judge how lopsided the matchup really is before giving up your comfort pick.
