Counter ratings are measured from duel and teamfight outcomes in tracked Overwatch 6v6 matches, not from match win rate. The rating is an index, not a percentage: 0 is a neutral matchup and a higher number means a harder counter. Source: Counterwatch community stats, all ranks, updated Sep 12, 2026.

Ratings come from the kill feeds of community matches: who wins the duels, and whose side dies more in teamfights. Match win rate is excluded on purpose, because 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 counter ratings are calculated →

How are Sierra's Overwatch 6v6 counters calculated?

From the kill feeds of community 6v6 matches: who wins the one-on-one kill trades against Sierra, 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 Sierra'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 Sierra and by how much. The 5V5 list is a separate page with its own ranking.

Who is Sierra good against in Overwatch 6v6?

Sierra punishes Mauga, Zarya, and Torbjörn hardest right now. If the enemy runs one of them, staying on Sierra is usually right.

Should I swap off my main to counter Sierra 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.
