New idea for hack and torb

what if when you hack torb, his turret also gets hacked. because I think it makes sense and it would remove alot of annoying and unfair situations

How does that make sense? Torb and his turret are close, sure, but they’re separate entities.

How about then torb turret also detects heat signature and shoots invisible sombra given that she is going to be able to hack while invisible fair trade.

it’s a video game Potatoad.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean we should make random changes for no reason.

it’s not a random change tho

Then maybe you should explain your reasoning? Torb’s turret is meant to annoy Sombra, it’s a defense against her (assuming it gets placed somewhere it won’t focus its fire on some other random enemy).

it’s a defence against everyone. sombra can’t be 2 places at once especially when torb and the turret exist. and i dont want my teammates to complain that I’m not hacking the turret when I have a million other things to worry about

It’s meant to mess you up, it’s an anti-flanker tool. Your teammates will have to stop complaining and do something about it themselves.

Turret should be buffed. (But only against Sombra.)

ah well tell that to my teammates

if torb gets hacked, it should make it so the turret doesnt shoot what torb shoots at, while hacked

The only reason I’m inclined to disagree with this is because Torbjƶrn is supposed to be a Sombra counter via his turret but if it was as easy as hacking Torbjƶrn himself to remove the countering effect he’s supposed to have on her, it seems like a bit much.

They’d also probably have to do the same to Symmetra for consistency sake and she really doesn’t needs nerfs of any kind.

I thought hacked deployables should swap sides. If you hack a turret or Bob they should shoot at their own team for duration of hack.

Could work on teleporter, orisa’s shield, etc … also. Hacked health pack would cause damage to an enemy who rolled over it too.

im fine with it working on things that do not deal damage

maybe for new sombra since hacking that turret for 1 second means nothing, unless her hack works different on deployables in which case then no, the point of torb’s turret and torb himself is that he’s able to fire from 2 separate places, that’s one of his strenghts

What exactly are the situations that you feel are unfair? Annoying is just meaningless though. You are supposed to be annoyed at things that make winning more difficult.

I play Sombra, Sym and Torb all three among my regulars, and I love this idea…

Same with symmetra right?

I kinda want Torb’s turret to turn against his team when it’s hacked.
