Heroes Tier List

As mentioned earlier, our tier list is consistent with the game’s latest competitive season. All buffs, nerfs and patches before the start of the season are taken into account.

Keep in mind that heroes placement inside a specific tier is NOT important. Heroes are positioned randomly within a specific tier thus their placement does not show that they are better or more popular than others in the same tier. So without further ado, let’s dive into our SMITE Tier List.
