Since we have 17 Damage heroes, and only 7 Supports, I thought of turning a dps into a healer, so I chose Torbjorn.
- Primary and Secondary fire are the same
- Hitting an ally with the hammer will give them 25 temporary armor.
You can give an ally a maximum of 75 TA.
Every 25 TA will disappear after 10 seconds.
- Torbjorn’s Turrets now heal allies.
Two can be deployed at once.
Pressing the interact button will destroy the Turret deployed before the last one. (Think Symmetra’s turrets)
Deploying a Turret when 2 are present will destroy the one before the last deployed one.
- Instead of Overload, Torb’s Armor Packs are back, along with his Scrap passive. They function just like the old Armor Packs.
- Torb’s Molten Core magma will now heal allies, alongside damaging enemies.
The damage from the magma would be reduced to balance out the healing benefit.
So, what do you think? I don’t know if this concept is a good one, but I’m sharing it to receive feedback andn possibly use it to make other Damage heroes into Supports/Tanks.

Its an interesting Idea but his kit is very revolved in Damage. Thats why you see more”Sombra/Symmetra as support” threads because they do have a lot of support potential.
As for Torbjörn his only supporting ability was his Armor pack
So im a bit neutral on this haha

Why?
I dont really understand why are people so obsessed with reworking heroes into something that they’re def not.
He’s a dps. And that wont change. Same goes for other dps regardless of how much biased forum posters here liked to change them into role what they’re def not.
Also, the ONLY hero that is most likely to recive rework treatment will mayBE Bastion. No one else.

Well, it’s just for fun, not really serious. And anyways, we only have 7 Supports and 8 Tanks, so we could rework some DPS into those roles.
On a side note, a flaw I can see with my concept is:
Imagine a hero.
Now imagine Torbjorn giving them 150 Temporary Armor from his Hammer + Armor Pack.
Now imagine a Brigitte giving them 50 TA from her Repair Pack, and 100 TA from her ult.
So now we have a 450 HP Tracer, a 600 HP Bastion, or a 900 HP Roadhog. That would be OPAF, and one of the flaws in my concept, so I dun goof’d lol.
While once upon a time maybe and I wouldn’t mind seeing a builder support in the future, Torbjorn’s rework was actually pretty successful and he’s in a rather good spot nowadays.
I’m all for some Support and Tank reworks for certain problematic and permanently under-preforming DPS, but Torb ain’t one of them.
