  1. 1.Hazard+5.7Mixed threat≈ +5%

  3. 3.Freja+4.7Wins the 1v1≈ +4%

Counter ratings are measured from duel and teamfight outcomes in tracked Overwatch Stadium 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 →

Beating Sojourn in Stadium FAQ

What is the best counter to Sojourn in Overwatch Stadium?
Hazard is the strongest pick against Sojourn right now, with a counter rating of +5.7 (an estimated +5% swing to an even fight), followed by Genji and Freja. The full list below ranks every eligible hero against Sojourn.
How are Sojourn's Overwatch Stadium counters calculated?
From the kill feeds of community Stadium matches: who wins the one-on-one kill trades against Sojourn, 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 Sojourn's Stadium counters different from 5V5?
Often, yes. This page is built only from Stadium 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 Sojourn and by how much. The 5V5 list is a separate page with its own ranking.
Who is Sojourn good against in Overwatch Stadium?
Sojourn punishes Torbjörn, Reaper, and Zenyatta hardest right now. If the enemy runs one of them, staying on Sojourn is usually right.
Should I swap off my main to counter Sojourn in Overwatch Stadium?
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.
