Torbjorn Rework

General Discussion
1

I went and watch a video by overwatch central discussing this and one of the top comments (cred to Dylan Melvic) talk about him having the ability to create more things (since he’s a builder and all).

A few of the things he listed for him being able to build included trip mines, trophy systems, barriers, ect, but furthermore (cred to Rasmus Juul Svendsen) a few general things they could change about him would include shot priority from turret (turret targets enemies shot by torb but once LOS is lost shoots a random target until he damage someone again for priority) and being able to reposition his turret or deploy it (level 1) at a distance .

I’m curious to hear what you guys think and what should be done to him.

I would be totally down for Rescue Ranger Torb.

I think he should be able to create 2 level 1 turrets, and level 1 will be the only level for turrets (molten core gives both level 2, or 1 of them level 3).
the shield packs should be removed, and the scrap system with it, he should be able to build stairs or something similar instaed (only teamates can use stairs, shots and enemies can walk through it.)

Hopefully replace his Repair Pack with something else, since it’s too similar to Brigitte’s Repair Injection.

I was disappointed with how little creativity was involved in developing Brigitte which was basically Lucio, Reinhardt, and Tobjorn stitched together.

1 level 2 turret is already over powered in an unorganized 2 imagine 2

the turrets would obviously have to tuned down a bit

Torb needs that armor pack to do his job effectively which is to support his back line and protect the healers. like zen and mercy. Armor pack is 75 armor hp that does’t decay. it’s litterally 25% less then a Rally to me. you just can only make 5 armor packs with 200 scrap so it’s not quite as team protecting as Rally. but people highly underrated this part of torb even before brigitte came out. If they replace this pack they need to

  1. give torb more natural hp because with his big hitbox he needs that 200 hp +75 armor to even live most things like a tracer flank. or a moira orb (since it reduces the dmg every tick moira barely does anything to armor)

Good torbs will always at a bare minimal be at 250-275 hp and keep 50 scrap in their bank for emergencies only after those conditions are met should you give armor to non supports. (always priortize your healers over yourself)

I did make a post on things can do to torb to make him more consistent with out changing his kit entirely. if you want to read that.

I’ll be making a simular post on how they would make him work while drasticly changing his kit at a later date. i just don’t have the time to type it all up and stuff.

Don’t you mean Brigitte ability is to similar to his ? He had it first just without the healing

Creating a wall that has to be destroyed… or creating stationary health packed! The imagination is endless

TORBJORN needs an ON/OFF button for his turret…And then he can be more practical and useful hero in the game…For example if you off your turret nobody see it when they pass near it and Torbjorn doesnt lose turret always…This is the best option for Tobjorn attack and defense…

I’d rather he be just more of a versatile hero.

Two turrets could be good

1 lvl 1
1 lvl 2

On ult you get

1 lvl 2
1 lvl 3

Also a hammer alt fire, that works like discord orb but makes the turret fire at that target
