Don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked to see a gun that does additional damage specifically against armor, but don’t you guys feel like it would have fit better on another hero?
I suppose in the lore, Torb, as an expert engineer/armorer, would know the best way to fight against armor, but…
I wish Reaper or Sombra could bypass/weaken armor.
This is just another Brig snowball effect. Brig introduced a ton of armor to the game that no one wanted so now they have to compensate by removing Torbs armor packs and give him anti-armor tech. Thanks Brig.
From my understanding, Torb creates weapons, while Brig is more focused on armor and protection. In both of the comics that feature Torb, he’s using the turrets offensively, instead of how he plays in-game. I think Blizzard has made the new changes to fit more with this idea of a “weapon designer.”
It makes a lot of sense on Torbjorn, he’s now a double threat vs traditional Dive and GOATS since he has the turret to track flankers and position out of reach vs deathballs, Overload to survive the dive or break shields and Molten Core to roast armoured deathballs on point.
He works quite well at addressing the meta right now.
