There are two characters whose heights we have not been able to confirm. These are:
- Wrecking Ball (without mech)
- Sigma (Presumed to be the tallest Overwatch Hero at around 8 ft., but as Sigma floats, this is difficult to confirm)
Certain in-game modifications, such as characters using certain armored items like helmets, could increase the overall height of the character when dressed in that particular garb.

What is the Significance of Character Height?
The height of the characters in Overwatch 2 can significantly impact their abilities and role in the game and this is particularly useful to understand when betting on Overwatch esports.
- Characters with taller heights, like Reinhardt and Orisa, may have more health points, more attack range, and more visibility on the battlefield, making them ideal for tank roles. They may also have abilities that allow them to protect their allies, such as Reinhardt’s barrier field or Orisa’s protective shield.
- On the other hand, shorter characters like Tracer and Lucio may have fewer health points and attack ranges, but they may be more agile and have abilities that allow them to move quickly around the battlefield. They may also have abilities that allow them to evade enemy attacks, such as Tracer’s blink or Lucio’s speed boost.
The game designers use the height of the characters to make the game more interesting and fun by creating a diverse cast of characters with unique abilities and strengths:
- The game is balanced by giving each character a unique role and abilities that complement the other characters in the game.
- This allows for different play styles and strategies to be used depending on the team composition.
It’s also worth noting that the height of the characters also affects the POV first person height. The difference in eyeline between Orisa and Torbjörn is very noticeable, so this is definitely something to keep in mind whilst comparing Overwatch 2 character heights.
It isn’t the only factor that affects the gameplay however, other factors such as abilities, speed, and hitbox also play a significant role in the gameplay. The designers use all these factors to create a fair and balanced game.
The height of the characters in Overwatch 2 adds a unique dimension to the gameplay and helps to create a diverse cast of characters with unique abilities and strengths.

Character Ages
The age of a character can have a significant impact on their abilities and backstory.
- Older characters like Ana and Soldier: 76 may have more experience and wisdom, and their abilities may reflect this.
- Younger characters like D.Va and Tracer may be more agile and have abilities that allow them to move quickly around the battlefield.
Additionally, the ages of characters can also be used to create interesting story arcs and relationships between characters.
- For example, older characters like Ana may have a mentorship relationship with younger characters like Brigitte.
- In contrast, characters like D.Va and Tracer may have a friendly rivalry due to their similar ages and abilities.
It’s also worth noting that the characters’ ages are not always confirmed by the developers, allowing players and fans to speculate and create their backstories. This can also create more interest in the characters and the game’s lore.
