Please, DO NOT remove the Forge Hammer

General Discussion

Stop deleting everything fun about a hero. You removed Symmetra’s ability to pick up items. You removed the ability to play Mercy Paintball. You ruined Hanzo fireworks. DONT GET RID OF TORBS HAMMER.

I don’t care if it doesn’t upgrade anything anymore. Please don’t get rid of it. It’s so fun to get hammer kills in games and there are thousands of custom games with hammer only Torbjorn. I’m begging you, Blizzard. Please keep the forge hammer as Torbjorn’s secondary weapon. Do whatever you want to him, but at least keep the hammer.

Fun police chu chu. Now everyone is flanker or reworked.

I’m so frustrated with these reworks.

Get used to it, Geoff Goodman is the lead balance designer, he likes reworking things even if just changing its stats is the better way to go about things.

I’m going to miss hammering people to death with molten core if they do get rid of it, but maybe it’s for the best

No it’s not for the best. They can at least keep it as a secondary weapon even if it’s useless.

I doubt they’d get rid of it. Even if he won’t need it to upgrade in the future, I’d imagine there will be times where it’s more efficient to repair the turret rather than replace it and the hammer should do that. Hopefully.

Even with self-building turret, he might keep it because the turret needs repairing.
On the other hand, Geoffs rework-mood is unpredictable…

I think it would be hilarious if he could hammer bastion to heal him, but at the same time I think that will be OP since he will be able to heal Bastion forever behind a corner or a shield as long as torb doesn’t die

Do you not realize how dumb that sounds?

It was NEVER stated that they would remove Forge Hammer.

It was stated that the Turret would auto-deploy at level 2 instead of starting at level 1.

The Turret still has a healthpool (I assume), so it still needs to be repaired.

They haven’t told us about any changes to his E ability, so I presume that the Turret still needs to be repaired SOMEHOW.

A link to my thread on what we know.

Uhm… ok i get the hammer is funny and all, i love hammering brigs to death, but i’d rather have torb as a more versatile character then the same one that only properly works on defense… really? you would rather have funny interactions with objects than actual game balance…?

I’d rather have both…

“Oh no I’m stonewalling all these great ideas! Time for a rework!”
