From some articles i understood how the OW team is thinking how to make Torbjorn kit better on offense.
i think we should look how TF2 gave the Engineer more offensive potential with a weapon: Gunslinger. What this wrench, his Sentry is changed with a Mini-Sentry;
His normal Sentry can be leveled up to level 3 (the sentry between levels are changed very very similar to how it’s changed in OW).
Pros and Cons of the Mini-Sentry:
Cons:
- Can be only level 1
- Has less HP
- Has less damage
- Has less range
Pros:
- Deploys much faster
- Bigger fire-rate
- Can trace people better
- Requires less metal to be build (you need 125 metal to build a level 1 Sentry, but only 100 for a Mini-Sentry)
Video comparison:
I would like to see a similar take on Torbjorn for his upcoming rework. Do you think that similar changes to the Torb’s turret can make him better on offense?
What do you think?
