This tier list will help you learn more about what tank heroes are viable in Season 7 of Overwatch 2 as you can find out what impact the ultimates have on your gameplay so you can better punish any mistakes your enemies might make and climb the ranked ladder much easier.
C Tier Tank Ultimates
Roadhog
Whole Hog
- Good knockback, but incompatible with tanks
The utility can be useful, but its relevance and synergy with other abilities does not allow him to excel in comparison to other tank hero ultimates.
Wrecking Ball
Minefield
- Very situational
Only works into compositions that are not fit to counter it as cleave damage can easily destroy his mines.

D.Va
Self-Destruct
- Great damage and zoning
If used correctly, this ultimate can influence important teamfights as the constant threat of D.Va jumping out of her mech whilst still being able to deal damage can shake up the positioning of the enemy team.
B Tier Tank Ultimates
Orisa
Terra Surge
- Inconsistent, but still potent
A great tool in combination with other ultimates as a good team composition can look into executing a combo that can wipe out the entire enemy team.

Junker Queen
Rampage
- Antiheal, damage, but very easily denied from gaining much value if targeted
Very situational as it gets blocked by a lot of hero abilities, although at its best it can surely win any tough fight.
Doomfist
Meteor Strike
- Reliable engage tool with good enough damage
Nothing too flashy as landing the center of the ultimate on a target can be quite challenging but it can be a good gap closer if timed right with your teammates.

Ramattra
Annihilation
- Hard to counter as it boosts your engage
A very high chance of success, but optimal in specific situations as the enemy team can easily peel you so that you don't gain much value from using it.
A Tier Tank Ultimates
Zarya
Graviton Surge
- Great success against all kinds of compositions
Although the enemy team might be able to counter it, if utilized effectively, this ultimate can synergize with your teammates' abilities to completely wipe out your opponents as it can be the difference in a do or die situation.

Reinhardt
Earthshatter
- Similar to Graviton Surge
You can exploit weak spots as this ultimate barely has any substantial counters with its utility offering either targeting the entire enemy team or just getting a crucial pick onto a carry.
Winston
Primal Rage
- Great mobility and enemy disruption
High skill ceiling as you can disrupt the enemy backline, but you are susceptible to being focused by damage heroes as your big hitbox might put you in a difficult situation.

S Tier Tank Ultimates
Sigma
Gravitic Flux
- Flexible with great impact
It has many counters, but can help teammates to oneshot enemies mid-air and can be utilized for solo picks or teamfights.
Summary
While not as impactful as support or damage hero ultimates, tank heroes can provide synergy with other great ultimates to help tip the scales in your favor. As tanks have the primary role of defending their teammates, some heroes can open up optimal avenues of attack. You can learn mroe about our tier list, here:
