This tier list will help you learn more about what tank heroes are viable in the Mid Season 7 Patch of Overwatch 2 so you can figure out which heroes are strong currently and climb the ranked ladder much easier.
F Tier Tanks
Roadhog
He simply lacks the polish and damage other tanks have in the game, although he can be a nuisance, and is seeing play in higher ranks when paired with a support like Kiriko, he does offer enough value for your team.
D Tier Tanks
Wrecking Ball
Although he has disruptive abilities, it is rather difficult to fully utilize his kit as he needs to pair with combositions that have a good mix of spam and dive. D.Va and Zarya easily bully him away as you need to play aggressively in order to be more relevant in the game.

C Tier Tanks
Mauga
With CC immunity and mobility, this hero excels in skirmishes and getting easy picks with his ultimate onto mobile heroes. Despite the value that Cardiac Overdrive offers, not many players will be able to use the ability optimally once he goes live. Although he is a good matchup againgst Roadhog and Wrecking ball and Bastion, damage heroes can easily pick him off as his giant hitbox can be devastating in fights.
Zarya
The bubble nerfs hit Zarya hard, but her high damage output is not to be underestimated especially at maximum energy. Despite the recent support nerfs, they can easily survive Zarya's damage. Overall, Zarya needs a lot of setup in order to become a threat, and given how long it takes for her to become relevant in a fight, the time wasted might impact your game if you are unable to help out in crucial fights.
Winston
He is struggling with the amount of damage currently in the game as heroes like Bastion can easily negate any value Winston offers.

B Tier Tanks
Ramattra
He is unable to deal with Zenyatta, but the power he holds can be a game-changer. A solid tempo tank pick that can be a hard carry when paired with the right backline and kill key targets pretty successfully.
Reinhardt
This hero struggles on some maps, but Earth Shatter is an absolute beast of an ultimate when timed correctly as he can very easily tip the scales of a fight in seconds.
D.Va
A solo carry superdiver in solo queue, you can get great value from pushing her abilities to the limit and secure crucial picks onto enemies. Despite being a bit underrated, she still struggles to keep up with other more viable tanks in the game.

A Tier Tanks
Orisa
A very solid pick, despite not having any peel options, she does great in terms in survivability and damage. In order for her to shine, you will need to play more aggressive, but your composition will need to compliment this playstyle, otherwise you would be better off with playing a different tank hero.
Junker Queen
A small hitbox, survivability, and great close and mid-range damage, this tank hero is the whole package. She can easily bully out enemy tank players, but her ultimate is not as strong as the top tier tank heroes in this list.

S Tier Tanks
Sigma
His ultimate is one of the strongest in the game, and his ability to handle Bastion is what propels him to the top of the list. Overall, a perfect tank that has utility, damage and sustainability.
Doomfist
Doomfist benefits the most out of the support nerfs as he can easily isolate an enemy support and jump into the action very quickly. Great damage, and his smaller hitbox allows him to take the role of a DPS in certain situations, however, he outclases Sigma because of his inherit mobility.
