Torbjorn in Overwatch

The turret building hero has always been in an odd place in Overwatch as he is an incredibly powerful character, but his kit just doesn’t allow him to be as effective on the battlefield. Even though he is currently gaining the ability to generate scrap overtime, his armor output wasn’t the main problem when it comes to this hero. Torbjorn’s damage and utility just didn’t message up to say a Reaper or McCree, who can fit into multiplets. Given how frail his turret can be, especially if you aren’t standing right beside it, this device is nothing more than a nuisance to a well-coordinated team.

What he could use is a slight increase on health points for his turret, which would offset the damage reduction it suffered (especially on consoles) giving it more survivability. Then there is the problem with Molten Core which can be useful for wiping a team if you have a level two turret already up and running. However, if you don’t, it takes precious time to construct before it turns into the ultimate form. If Blizzard increased his hammer swing during his ultimate this would decrease the problem of needing to build a turret when using it and allow him to not go into fights at half power.
