Torbjörn need a rework

Watching old Overwatch 1 videos from the early days and see Torbjörn being a good hero make me sad that he havent be fix from the annoying old turret guy that he is now.

I realy would like see blizzerd giving him some of hes old kit back and be polish more

Remove turett from bass kit and give us back hes old upgrade turret ult into a full ult again, let us place that turret for 5-7 second.

And with that he have a 1-2 free slot to play around with

1 ability i would like to see is shield gen agin (one of sym old ult) let Torbjörn build a gen that give heros that have no shield in hp bar (50 shild), heros how have shield well get they shield back a bit fast, heros that have armor get (25 shield).

This a ability would some what replica his old armor pack ability, but well with shield insted. Just make it so it need to be place nere you team but also in a open area aka the gen need to have line of sight to give the shield buff. With that in mind ween his place the gen it stays ut for 3-5 sec before get de activated and go on a 12-14 sec cooldown, or the enamy can hack it or just destroy it. (Aka reuse the old voice line that exists in the game still ween a shield gen get destroy)

I would like see this or sometimes simler be adde give Torbjörn a more aktiv roll of being a craftsmanship that can buff his team a bit

2 ability i would like to see this is just for the fun sake it his hammer become a ability let Torbjörn hit his team and give them a short buff of armor health, and this ability can also be use on armord enamy if he hit them, they get a small debuff to the armor health and Torbjörn can use his hamer for a short duration after to well kill the enamy (this is just a fun ide to play into players that players hamer Torbjörn)

This is just ide i got from watching old Overwatch 1 videos and they is not the best ideas in the world XD

Agreed for a different thing. Torb is basically overtuned in S9, S8 Torb was really pushing it cuz of buffs but S9 takes the cake.

I wont mind Torb getting nerf-damage wise while making his turret buffed and be able to upgrade into a level 2. Just the turret will need to have clear downsides like how TF2 Sentry is.

What I mean? TF2 Sentry is strong, but relatively easy to take down because the aim speed is slowed where people can circle-strafe the turret and take it down. I think Torb’s turret needs that downside should it get that rework buff, but have Torb get an ability that can enable the turret to shoot faster and turn faster for a set time for a LONG cooldown.

They would need to change hit order cause what made his early kit broken was when they let sym have shield gen as ab alternative to portal, torb throwing down armor kits made gave shields armor as well cause shields drain before armor drains

they removed his T3 turret because people called it oppressive, so they made it so torb(the player) had to be more skilled and the turret was a side piece… which killed his entire identity as a character.

people would RAGEEEEE if his turret got buffed again or if even he got his old ultimate back (which btw is just BOB, but people don’t even realize it). they removed his ult, then brought it back on another hero (ashe) within a couple of seasons and then people just magically didn’t even noticed because it was on another hero.

He doesn’t need a rework. The projectile size screwed him up. They need to buff his sentry which does nothing now and his ult takes a long time to charge and can be easily avoided and also does nothing because of increase health.

Genji & Tracer can easily wipe him now.

I miss when the game was goofy like it was back then. I feel like it takes itself way too seriously now.

Yes true! But if feel like they can make a mix of his ult he have now and his old, remove his turret from bas kit, give him a ult that late him create a tr2 turret that pop out lava and if it hit a enamy they take 50 damage on impact and then a fire tick after, and also do so ween it hit a shild, enamy or floor/wall i leaves a smal pudel of lava. If they wanna they can let us use Torbjörn overload and hamer to create a tr3 turret , you need to hit his ult turret 5 times, if you do you gonna lower it range and hp but instead the turret start spini and just spit out lava in short zone around it for 2 sec before get destroy

I feel like this would be a fun ult to play with and aginst, becus it not the rapid small bob turret, it Torbjörn fun way to clear a zone or choke hold a zone and gonna well make him a bit unique agin

Torb’s fun. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!
