Symmerta and Torbjorn's turret/sentry discussion

Anyone think that Blizzard should nerf Sym and Torb’s turret/sentry TO THE GROUND? I hate how much range torb’s turret gets, and Symmerta’s sentrys do Waaaaaaayy to much damage. I also hate that they slow you down.

I think they should be reworked in where they remove the turrets all together. Sym to a support and torb remains dps maybe. Or maybe only torb has a turret.

heck nah sym is a frickn tank. I will use dva’s ult and she’ll still live.

Bah.

I don’t mind them in my games. I play only Sym when doing DPS, but since I queue all roles I only get maybe one DPS game out of 5. So mostly I play healer or tanks.

Sym and Torb aren’t a problem for me. Hell none of them are. Once you learn to adapt, you then only have to really worry when you get a player that’s good on one of them. lol

What’s funny is watching how my team handles them. It makes me laugh how many times someone dies to the same thing over and over and don’t learn from their mistakes. Hopefully that’s not you.

The last game I played DPS, the other team went Sym (was a Widow) because we were holding them back from moving the payload. Their team finally went Winston to counter, but they still failed to move the cart to the second point.

It was a fun game, but we were a bit lopsided with balance I think.

I mean ig. But torbjorns turret is annoying with its insane range and aimbot. Its also annoying when im doing role queue, and get support, and i cant do anything about the turret and my teammates wont doing anything,

Figure out where its from right away and just get out of its line of sight. If you have no clear path, then you need to shoot it down as quickly as you can first. Providing your team is helping, its not hard. I often will use Sym’s right click and with a few charged shots from cover obliterate it quickly.

Well first of all you’re not allowed to critique turrets on the Forums. Here people think that any issue with turrets means your bad at the game and probably Bronze.

I personally think turrets are stronger than they should be, but I also play console. Which could be impacting it.

I’d be fine with Torb turret as an ult, or nerfing its health. Sym can get a whole rework if people want, but her turrets aren’t nearly as annoying to me and don’t mind her as much.

Syms turrets have so little hp that most heroes can one shot them without trying and have an insanely long cooldown. How about we buff the underperforming hero instead.

Or we can leave DPS heroes who are already mid-tier alone?

They are inanimate objects, how are you being outplayed by inanimate objects?
You can kill a stack of sym turrets with just melee.

From support lineup only brig, kiriko and moira will have a hard time dealing with torb turret, which is fine as other supports should have no issue with it.

idk it was just an idea i had. I got mad fighting one in game

Torb turret is stationary, you can get shot by it once or twice to figure out the position then take it out.

Sym turrets die to a gust of wind and have a much shorter range than torb’s.

In general turrets get weaker the more your game sense improves. Just keep playing and you’ll figure out how to deal with them more effectively.

Sym is handy to tilt bad Genji’s that over rely on deflect as well as punishing bad Orisa’s that rely on her currently over tuned state.

It’s also funny to teleport on top of a widow, slap down all your turrets and burn her.

If we nerf hyper mobility, do what ever you want to them.

With torb its got 250hp no crit spot and perfect aim while the owner has amazing kit without the turret

torb’s turrets are fine, sym as a character should be removed from the game

ez pz

Imagine being so awful at this, honestly really straightforward and accessible, game that you complain about Torb’s and Sym’s turrets.
A ‘lol’ and ‘lmao’ for you, good sir.

Is also stationary, cannot crit, cannot be redeployed for 10s after destroyed, has no cognitive thinking, prioritizes deployables, very predictable

debatable, has arcing projectile and E, that’s it. Even torb mains say his E is underwhelming.

I dunno man, I don’t have problems taking out Torb turrets as a support. Zen annihilates them at any range. If drop-off doesn’t mess things up then Bap shreds them. Ana and Lucio do a good enough job. Mercy does, too, as long as she can afford the time to swap weapons. Kiriko’s not ideal due to her having a penalty to her bodyshot damage, but since there’s gaps in the healing anyway, she can contribute. It’s only really Brig and Moira that plain suck against Torb turrets.
