I feel like torbs turret could use a buff and a quality of life change. I find it annoying how if the turret is getting damaged than I can’t redeploy it. The damage is lacking and can be destroyed instantly before even fully deploying when you throw it out.

You are supposed to toss it at an off angle or behind cover so that when someone pushes, typically a flanker, they are especially vulnerable or need to prioritize the turret.
Torbjorn is more or less niche once again on this update, but in a world where Tracer is dominant… He still has a place.

I say it needs to be brought up to standard due to the Global HP increases.
It probably only feels weaker for that reason.

Yeah that’s what it is. It’s concerning how they buffed everyone’s hp but left certain deployables damage the same as before. I mean the training bots still have 200hp.

Buff its health but under absolutely no circumstances should its damage be increased. The fact that Torb and Sym turret as well as Bob (Who got a damage buff kek) can apply the DPS passive is ludicrous.
His turret literally is meant to be distraction. Other than Tracer and Sombra play toy
Doesn’t torb’s turret apply DPS passive? I’d imagine for that reason alone, it got indirectly buffed from the S9 patch.
I’d argue that dps abilities shouldn’t apply the dps passive at all and it should only be applied by the dps shooting people directly from their guns.
Oh absolutely. Whoever thought Tracer doing 300 damage in an instant and crippling tanks with her ult and denying healing on top of that would be fine should’ve been included in those layoffs.
I agree that thing is freaking useless these days lol. At the very least, make it so Sombra can’t just hack the turret while invisible and has to shoot it to disable it like every other hero in the game
BOB’s damage was adjusted to match the new health pools but Sym & Torb’s weren’t which really doesn’t make sense.
Yeah the turret is awful. I also find that ult is awful now. It was a good area denial ult but now it’s feels like it does nothing.
Playing Torb itself feels awful with the projectile size with how big is hitbox is. Since i see so many Genji, Tracer & S76 now that can wipe him out instantly.
Sometimes i wonder what is going on with balance team and how long where they planning to do this big changes.

Yes, this.
Let us upgrade it again.
There’s no point to ever using his hammer now.
It is odd that they increased everyone’s HP and left Torbjorn’s turret untouched. And the fact they made projectile sizes even bigger, so it’s easier to take it out, too.
Before you can even repair it, it gets destroyed.
Torb’s turret is supposed to be a source of just enough damage to limit where flankers can unpunished.
Right now, its not even that, just like Sym’s sentries arent even distractions.
Yes but it does not affect flankers. And high uptime ‘‘frontline’’ turrets are unviable above silver.
It applying the DPS passive is as useless as Sym’s sentries applying it.
Oh yeah I’ve been thinking that as well. I had a kirko and Genji in my face so I ulted them and got wiped instantly and they both lost like 30hp. lol
Yay another Symmetra nerf.
How so? I believe both sym and torb need buffs. The devs left them both in a really fragile state.
If you make abilities not apply the dps passive, the one remaining use for her turrets will be gone.
