I'm gonna say: Torb needs a nerf

Too tanky, and has armour. And the turret has 250 hp, aimbot, no fall off, pretty long range. His primary is great spamfire, his shotgun is also good. His ult is extremely good, especially on 2cp maps.

Either the hero or the turret needs some smaller nerf.

shh…

He is General.

I think just reducing his turret health by 50 would be enough. It gets way too much value for a brainless button press.

Honestly, Torb play is hard.

So you think one second less of uptime on his turret is enough? That doesn’t exactly seem like a gamechanger.

Torb could perfectly be reworked into a Tank.

Turret zones areas and won’t feed ult charge.

I have never thought I would see someone say torb needs a nerf. I think I have seen everything possible on the forums. I am going to go on an pretend like this is a troll post for your sake.

Imo he is fine as he is, his turret is stationary, it gets destroyed easily

It does. Like, I hate Torb, obviously. But playing as him, I can’t keep a turret up long at all. Dies really quickly.

I do think his E makes him a bit too tanky sometimes, but eh, that’s situational. I only rarely think to myself, “He should’ve died there; that’s so BS.” (Or playing as him: “I shouldn’t have survived that, that’s so BS.”)

Like probably 10% of the time. The other 90% he seems fine.

And I personally suck with his gun, so… no comment there. :sweat_smile:

He’s definitely an annoying hero, though. Just not overpowered. At least not in my opinion.

Literally this, i can barely keep the thing alive, and it geniunely pisses me off lol

It doesn’t need to be a gamechanger, he’s not broken, just slightly too strong.

Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension

Torb has:
500 health with his ult
Rocket launchers strapped to his turret
500 health on his turret
Brig’s old Repair Packs without the heal

Hm… No, I think he’s fine now.

Torb is not a sniper, therefore he doesn’t need a nerf.

I got a better idea

Let’s NOT nerf Torbjorn, okay? Thanks

Agreed. Get rid of every damn turret in the game and then buff the sh*t out of Torb and Sym.

As long as automated turrets with instant lock-on and 100% accuracy are a thing I’m sorry but these two heroes belong in F tier. (Just my opinion, please put the gun down Symmetra mains).

I bet any good Torb or Sym mains would gladly trade their turrets for some other cool abilities they could actually use by themselves.

Or even better, keep Torb’s turret, increase the damage but let HIM be the one who controls it. Fair and fun. And If you kill me I know it was you, not a damn AI.

Pharah

love me some rocket dumping on bastions and torbs

I am guessing the people complaining are console players.

Otherwise, oof, how bad to you have to be to get stomped by torb.

You’d figure Pharah would double down there

I mean, I get it if the second DPS is Ashe or Widow but TBH it depends on the rank. Gold through plat I can handle, at times, both of them at once on Pharah and with the recent pharah changes it’s even better (for me but I’m not an up in the air easy target kind of pharah anyway). The speed changes make surface hopping to avoid being 1 shot between/around cover way easier).

I get if high diamond - GM it’s more problematic though

You guys must have fantastic teammates then. It feels like every time I play against a Torb, my teammates don’t know how to fight him, at all. Then complain because the turret keeps wailing on them.

Like… if you’re getting shot at by the damn turret, shoot it. If it’s far in the back, get a soldier, Ana, etc. Torb can be hella scary when the team doesn’t focus him, but if he’s focused by the team, he’s just making it 5v6 for his team.

You know what counter Torb?
Shields. Guess what tanks aren’t meta right now?
