As a slight buff for Torbjorn, I think his turret should auto shoot at shields when there is nothing else to shoot at. At the moment, if there is no enemy in sight, the turret won’t shoot at anything. I personally think this would be a bit of a quality of life change, and definitely won’t make Torbjorn broken. Obviously, the shields would take lowest priority, meaning that if another player or even a sym turret entered its sight, it would target those instead. Does anybody else agree that Blizzard should change this?
Two problems
-
some folks use the Turret to assist with detecting an enemy, ie going form not shooting to shooting, same as a Widow might use her spider in a doorway at her back to detect the arrival of an otherwise undetected opponent
-
would make it harder for turret to lock in on an opponent who jumps in and out of sight quickly.
Situation 1 seems legit, as some people do use the turret as a sort of alarm system. I’m not 100% sure how it would make locking onto targets harder though, as the barriers and shields would have lowest priority.
No need in slight changes. Wait for major rework.

I just feel like the rework was unecessary though. Like Torb has plenty of potential, it’s just that many people play him with a playstyle that doesn’t bring out his true potential.
