There are only four support characters in Overwatch, but the support class just might be the most valuable class for any team setup. These guys are in charge of keeping the team alive, helping to increase their overall damage output, and occasionally keep the enemies away from control points. In fact, if played right, support characters can prove to be such a nuisance in Overwatch that a smart enemy team would know to take them out first.

Overwatch’s four support characters are Mercy, Symmetra, Lucio, and Zenyatta. These four will be ranked, based on their ability to assist their team while keeping the enemy at bay, and their overall usefulness in an all-out firefight and taking objectives.
