Assassin tier list: the best Assassins

29 heroes ranked · · Patch 2.1.88
Ranking across all ranks. The by-rank lists, for their part, cover every lane and every role. All Assassins and their lanes →
How this ranking is calculated
The score is win rate + a quarter of the ban rate.
Win rate measures what a hero delivers once picked. Ban rate measures what players fear: it catches heroes too strong to be left open, whose win rate is misleadingly low because they're rarely available.
Pick rate isn't part of the calculation — it measures popularity, not power. It's only used to mark with an asterisk heroes played too rarely for their numbers to be stable.
The ↑ and ↓ arrows under the win rate show its change over seven days in this rank, when it reaches at least 0.2 points.
Tier S+4

A tier list measures how forgiving a hero is, not how far they can take you. A mastered C-tier hero beats an S+ hero picked up yesterday.
