5 best tank heroes to pick in Overwatch 2 Season 13
1) Mauga
Mauga is among the strongest heroes and has been since his release; he will remain one of the top picks for tank heroes in Overwatch 2 Season 13.
With the recent Overwatch 2 update, the developers have buffed the burn effect that he can apply with his primary weapon as it will last up to four seconds now. This has made him a powerhouse of an offensive tank who can mow down enemies quickly.
2) Zarya
Zarya has been one of the go-to picks for many players since the days of Overwatch and she has retained her position as one of the top tank picks in the game. While she may not be as effective as protecting the team, her damage output is one of the highest given you retain her charge, making her one of the best tanks if you want to play aggressively.
If you're comfortable micromanaging her abilities, you should definitely pick Zarya as one of your go-to Tank heroes in Overwatch 2 Season 13.
3) Sigma
While Zarya or Mauga comes with some of the best offensive kits in Overwatch 2 Season 13, Sigma comes with some of the best defensive abilities that not only allow his team to survive but also give him a lot of sustenance. Sigma has one of the best shields in the game, can absorb incoming projectiles, and has an ultimate that can provide crowd control.
If you're a team player who wants to bring the most out of your defensive capabilities to ensure your team survives, Sigma should be your go-to pick for one of the best tank heroes in Overwatch 2 Season 13.
4) Winston
The community's beloved monkey aka Winston is another great pick for a tank hero in Overwatch 2 Season 13. A good Winston player has the potential to disrupt the enemy backline by disturbing the healers or dethroning a sniper like Widowmaker from their position.
One key thing you should keep in mind is that while Winston is exceptional in the dive meta, he can feel a bit tough to play if your team isn't diving alongside you. You should switch to something else if your team is not coordinating a dive, or if the enemy has switched to a Reaper or D.Va.
5) Orisa
Orisa is definitely one of the strongest heroes in Overwatch 2 and a great pick in any rank. She has strong offensive abilities, a good ultimate that can crowd-control enemies, and an ability that lets you cancel enemy stuns.
The only downside Orisa has is that she's quite slow compared to the other tanks; nonetheless, she is one of the best for anyone looking forward to push rank in the ongoing Season 13 of Overwatch 2.
