I think Junkrat is more of a hemlock guy. It tickles his tummy.
That is true. Any other characters drink that gas?
Wouldnāt be surprised if Baguette stole out of Dadās gasoline stash here and there. Like father like daughter, right? Sheās probably angry that he sent the turret to college while letting his own daughter become a car mechanic.

Yah Bridge is probably a gas guzzler. How do you send a turret to college?
You equip the right Highlight Intro, I guess.
Torb is a weird, weird Dwarf. Heās also the only hero in the game with an actual family thatās not completely and totally messed up.
Ana and Pharah are family, but I am not sure Pharah was aware of Ana being alive. And thereās some tension of Pharah being in the military.
But hey, Torb is a great family man, his wife makes him dress up as Santa, he has a daughter that loves fixing engines and has a cat and he sent his turret to college. That, and Mercy is a friend of the family.
Doomfist needs a family too. Maybe thatāll mellow him out a bit.
You are an interesting person.
Whoās family do you think Doomfist would belong in?
Any other weird lore stuff you know about?

Being interesting lets one escape existential dissatisfaction with life. 
Well, Doomfist murdered his mentor backstab-style to take control of Talon. I am not sure anybody would willingly be in his family, although brainwashed Widowmaker follows all of his commands and to him that probably is as close to family as heāll be comfortable with.
Torb didnāt actually send his turret to college, I think thatās just a joke in the highlight intro. But, if you go to the Hero Gallery and look at it, itās a pic of him and the turret, and the turrent has an academic cap and gown on.
I think that perma lvl 3 turret might be a bit op
What makes you think that?
Dunno,i mean its not permanent already for a reason right?

But if it is reworked it could work just fine. Like with the reduced health and only being able to build it to level 3 in Molten Core.
Torbās got a few core problems:
1: Fighting him is trivial. Unless he gets extremely lucky with his scatter fire or his primary fire, no one really fears him and no one has any reason to not close with him, which is normally a big, āno noā for anyone with projectile attacks. Even with bonus armor heās trivial to fight because heās got no defensive capabilities, no mobility based capabilities and his crit box is so huge that even scatter gun characters donāt fear him.
2: Once his turret is destroyed it is far too easy to pick Torb. Snipers and distance characters didnāt need the help. And neither did closer-range characters since itās nearly impossible to fight characters that simply bring better kit to the fight than you. A soldier 76 who knows how to keep pressure applied without over-extending to try and snag a kill is a complete nightmare for a Torb to deal with.
3: Torbās turret is stupid. No, I mean, itās hit priority is always whichever character entered itās range first so it will continue to fire fruitlessly on a Reinhardt with his shield up for no reason other than that he was there first while, say, a Tracer is humping Torbās leg two feet away from it.
4: Torb is the only character in the game where, if heās not set up, his ult is less than half as effective. Furthermore, Torb is one of the few characters in the game where his ult has real counterplay. Inflict 500 damage- or however much you need to kill Torb- and his ult shuts down. This is actually a fairly easy standing order since Torb was never hard to deal with in the first place.
Without diving into specifics, thereās four things Torb really needs.
1: He needs to not be so helpless without his turret. Sometimes Iām lucky and get a 1-shot kill on his scatter gun but that basically doesnāt happen, and when it does it usually revolves around the other dude playing like a nob.
2: Torbās turret isnāt good enough to justify the sunk cost of building it. Once itās destroyed it is way too easy for the enemy team to deny him building a new one, and they have no reason not to because that process is stupidly easy. A D.Va can hold down her auto-fire and Torbās turret will never build because itās stuck at repairing 1 damage a swing.
3: Torbās gun should actually back him up, with the most obvious solution being that any target within range of the turret that Torb hits with scatter fire, the turret will preferentially target when possible.
4: Torbs ult should automatically upgrade his turret to stage 3 regardless of what state itās in, even if he just dropped the turret, and the ultās effect should persist regardless of whether or not Torb is dead.
