Highlights:
- Ana, Mercy and Moira make up some of the most picked heroes in Overwatch 2
- Mauga, Symmetra and Wrecking Ball are some of the least picked, with Venture too new to rank just yet
Given the size of the roster in Overwatch 2, some characters are bound to be picked more than others - so we're breaking down the current pick rates for Season 10 including the most and least picked heroes.
Pick rates determined by season give a great idea as to which heroes are potentially over or underperforming in the game. With rankings changing every season, alongside a wide array of buffs, nerfs and tweaks, some heroes may get a chance to shine when they previously have not.
Who are the current most chosen heroes in Overwatch 2?
For this breakdown, I'll cover the top five most-picked heroes as of Overwatch 2 Season 10. These placements have been sourced from Overbuff, which collates the amount a hero has been chosen according to several factors.
We're sticking with PC platforms with all Game Modes, Roles and Skill Tiers over the last three months to take heroes that have recently been added into consideration:
| Hero | Role | Pick Rate |
| Ana | Support | 6.88% |
| Mercy | Support | 6.29% |
| Moira | Support | 5.14% |
| Kiriko | Support | 4.50% |
| Genji | Damage | 4.40% |
Who are the least chosen heroes?
These are the heroes that don't see as much play time in Overwatch 2. This doesn't mean they are necessarily bad, so maybe it's time that you showed them some love this season:
| Hero | Role | Pick Rate |
| Mauga | Tank | 0.78% |
| Symmetra | Damage | 1.06% |
| Wrecking Ball | Tank | 1.08% |
| Ramattra | Tank | 1.13% |
| Torbjorn | Damage | 1.18% |
Why are these heroes where they are?
When it comes to heroes that are picked the most, Ana's healing abilities require a great deal of accuracy but also heal a great deal more and faster than a lot of other Supports.
Her Sleep Dart and Nano Boost Ultimate make for great utilities that can affect enemies, boost allies and keep them at top health. With this in mind, it's no surprise she's the highest-picked character in the game.
Unsurprisingly, Mauga is currently the least chosen hero in Overwatch 2, having only been added to the game in the previous season.
While Venture was added in Season 10 and is now the newest hero, they're too new to get any real data on pick rates for them, but I'll update this guide again to see if they are included soon.
