YOUR BENCH, ON TRIAL
Pick 2–4 heroes from one role. We compare their listed Counters, show where a swap covers another pick's weakness, and find your next heroes to learn.
THE VERDICT · DAMAGE
A workable bench. A few matchups can still box you in.
Your score balances listed matchup coverage with the benchmark across 2–4 heroes in your role. It measures your options, not your skill.
Your picks against enemies that threaten this pool. A hero can help even when another pick is the stronger counter.
17.7% weighted coverage. 1.38 / 7.75 threat points answered. Strong counters cover more than conditional ones.

Your pool's same-size percentile is 90.3. Ties share a rank. This is a comparison with other pools, not a win rate or coverage percentage.
01 · THE READOUT
High close-range pressure punishes Winston for committing into the team and makes extended dives expensive.
Tier is the hero’s current place in our Tier List. Buff means a recent strengthening, Nerf a weakening, Mixed both, and Rework a changed kit. Tap a badge to see what changed.

02 · KNOW THE OPPOSITION
See who forces a difficult fight, why they do it, and which pick can help.
D.VaPressures BastionExposedDefense Matrix denies key ranged pressure while Boosters let D.Va force Bastion out of position.
Don't transform into Defense Matrix. Bait D.Va's Matrix first, then commit, and stay near your team so her dive can be punished.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against D.Va. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

HanzoPressures BastionExposedLong-range burst and sightline pressure punish Bastion whenever they expose predictable movement.
Avoid long sightlines where Hanzo can pre-aim you. Transform behind cover and change positions between fights.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Hanzo. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

Junker QueenPressures BastionExposedClose-range pressure and sustain punish Bastion when they commit into Queen's effective space.
Don't let Junker Queen close to short range. Transform from further back, and reposition before she reaches you with her team.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Junker Queen. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guide
JunkratPressures AnranExposedHigh burst and area denial punish Anran for entering predictable paths or fighting in confined space.
Avoid predictable chokes and narrow paths where Junkrat's spam lands. Take wider routes and engage from angles he isn't already covering.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Junkrat. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guide
MoiraPressures AnranExposedReliable close-range pressure and strong self-survival make Anran's isolated dives much less rewarding.
Isolated dives into Moira rarely pay off. Engage alongside your team, and back out if she outlasts your first burst instead of chasing.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Moira. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guide
PharahPressures AnranExposedVertical pressure keeps Pharah outside Anran's preferred range and forces them to fight on unfavorable angles.
You can't contest Pharah from the ground. Play under cover and roofs, and let your hitscan teammates deal with her before you push.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Pharah. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guide
SigmaPressures BastionExposedBarrier control, absorption and Accretion reduce Bastion's pressure while creating punish windows at range.
Don't fire into Sigma's barrier. Take an off-angle around it and time your burst for when his shield is down or on cooldown.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Sigma. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guide
TracerPressures BastionExposedMobility and constant close-range pressure let Tracer exploit Bastion's vulnerable angles and force cooldowns.
Play near teammates so Tracer can't pester you alone. Keep an escape route and don't transform with your back to open flanks.
Our counter guide does not recommend Anran / Bastion against Tracer. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

HOW THE COURT SCORES IT
Hero Pool Score: practical matchup coverage, balanced against every 2-, 3- and 4-hero pool in your role. Each size gets equal weight. The score combines that standing with your actual coverage, so being a great pair does not hide big gaps. It is a matchup guide, not a promise of wins. Season 5 includes conditional kit inferences for new and reworked heroes; this percentile compares the listed graph, not observed match results.
Coverage: Strong threats count for 1 point, Good for ½ and Situational for ¼. Your best listed answer covers all, half or a quarter of a threat respectively. Conditional answers help, but do not erase a weakness. Shared threats count for each hero they pressure.
Among pools your size: the secondary percentile shows how efficiently you use your slots. Top 10% means your coverage beats roughly nine out of ten pools with the same role and number of heroes. Ties share a rank.
Next heroes: the first option brings the largest useful gain against your current threats. The second offers different coverage. Each must also improve the coverage rate of the resulting pool, including its new weaknesses. With four picks, we test replacements and name the hero to swap out. Options are alternatives, not a promise that both belong in the same pool.
Map, execution and team composition still matter. Missing matchups are unknown, not proof of safety.
