Overwatch 2: The Best Heroes for Valorant Players

There are a few Overwatch 2 heroes that are best for Valorant players and they should find them easy to use. Many of Valorant’s agents draw inspiration from the original Overwatch. Be it their looks or their abilities. So in this guide, let’s take a look at the top 3 heroes you can use in Overwatch 2 if you play Valorant.

The 3 Best Overwatch 2 Heroes Valorant Players Should Use

These are heroes whose abilities are very similar to their counterparts from Valorant.

• Reaper for Omen players
• Junkrat for Raze Players
• Hanzo for Sova players

Below are all the abilities that are exactly or nearly the same for both heroes. So these characters should be more or less easy to use in the next game, no matter which one you played first.

Reaper

• Shadow Step: Omen’s Shadow Step is heavily inspired by this ability. Whether it’s in the name or how it works. The Reaper can use Shadow Step to mark a destination and teleport there.

Junkrat

• Concussion Mine: Works the same way Raze players use the Blast Pack. Junkrat can place his Stun Mines and use them to damage and knock back enemies or send them flying upwards. Or you can use a blast mine to launch yourself into the air.
• RIP-Tire: Junkrat’s Ultimate also has a lot in common with Showstopper. But instead of launching rockets, Junkrat uses a motorized tire bomb. This tire can even overcome walls and obstacles. Junkrat also has to decide whether to manually detonate it from a distance or let it explode on its own.

Hanzo is the best Overwatch 2 hero for Valorant players

• Sonic Arrow: Owl’s Recon Bolt is very similar to Hanzo’s Sonic Arrow. The only major difference is that Hanzo’s ability does not cause the arrow to bounce. In addition, both abilities detect any players that enter their detection area.
• Dragon Strike: Fury of the Owl Hunter also has a lot in common with Dragon Strike. This is a one-shot move, unlike the three shots of Hunter’s Fury. But although it can only be a single shot, it does a lot of damage to targets that are in its path. And while both abilities have the ability to pass through walls, Dragon Strike has an infinite travel distance.

That covers this guide to the best Overwatch 2 heroes for Valorant players.
