10 Best Overwatch Characters - Ranked

Backstory: Zenyatta’s backstory is wrapped in both flavour and lore, taking the trope of a Nepalese monk and flipping it upside down with the technological advancements of around 60(ish) years from now. He’s an Omnic, a humanoid robot often looked down upon by human society as result of the Omnic Crisis of the past, but as a monk, he wants nothing more than peace. 7/10

Abilities: Zenyatta has a great balance between both destructive and restorative abilities. He’s certainly more focused on healing, with an orb that you can attach to a teammate, fully healing them over a short period of time, and an ult that heals and protects all teammates within range.

It can literally win games, often being the difference between taking an objective or not in overtime. Orb of Discord can be attached to an enemy to highly increase all damage they receive, and his basic attacks are surprisingly powerful. 8/10

Design: Zenyatta fits the bill of a robot monk perfectly, and his model is littered with little details and wear that allow his visuals to speak for themselves. He’s also got some of the nicest skins in the game. His re-colours aren’t great, but his legendary and event skins are some of the best that Overwatch has to offer. 9/10

Score: 8/10
