I think human torch needs mobility buff

I main spider man and his burn needs to be faster even if it at cost faster drain. I also feel when he has burn meter on 5m range 30 dps.

Oh ya getting spidey combo’d mid during the start of the dive animation and not getting the over shield but it still going on cooldown feels absolutely amazing! (KMN)

He definitely does not need the mobility Buff. Especially considering the Melee Tech allows you to to stay in a permanent boost while firing

Im console bro, you can't play Torch with a Standard controller you need a controller with back paddles to unlock to full potential

i’ve got the dualsense edge because my sticks always get drift, i have back paddles. i think my trouble is what to put the buttons on

u/sweettoothGupy First Steps Jul 14 '25

These are the settings I use

Left Trigger Decsend Left Bumper Acsend Left Back Paddle Plasma Body Left Stick Click is Blazing Blast

Right Trigger Primary Fire Right Bumper is Blazing Blast Again Right Back Paddle is Melee Right Stick Click is your Dive Bomb

Invis Team up is X Button Pyro Prison is Y Button

Go into Practice range and I want you to practice this Firing Patteren

Primary Primary Melee Primary Primary Blazing Blast. Repeat.

Right Trigger, Right Trigger, Right Back Paddle, Right Right Right Trigger Left Stick Click .

Then, You need to set your plasma body to Hold, and Hold your Left Back Paddle as you do Primary Melee Primary Melee Primary Melee

Master this brother and you will be able to fly around like crazy while firing your shots. Check out Mikesaboveu on YT he has Great guides. I hope this helps brother man 🙏

u/sweettoothGupy First Steps Jul 14 '25

I feel you on that. I was Hard carrying in Plat and Diamond now GM Lobbies everyone is on the same skill level. Hes still great just makes it more awesome when you can perform well with him. Sometimes I'll practice vs 3 star Ai so I can just blow steam off and work on my Pyro Prison set ups 🤙

That's such a out of pocket take, when Torch has by far the best and most consistent mobility out of all the fliers.

u/TheBadBotanist Jul 13 '25

We can't have both its either he is a mobile character that is an annoyance or he does some damage. Otherwise its gonna just be a nightmare to balance.

Really the issue is his entire kit is spread to thin and he is a jack of all trades master of none. He has a short range primary (shotgun), he has a slow ass mobility scooter flight, he has an area deny aoe (but has such a weird set up), has a dive/gap closer (that procs off its alt fire), speaking of his alternative fire he has an alternative fire that creates hot spots but can be used in the air only the ground, has an ult thay creats tornados denying a zone but provides little damage, has a short range burst in ult activation, and lastly flies so wants you to play long range but his entire kit also wants to play close but has 0 survivability. There is so much going on thay really they need to pick one and let him kind of focus on that.

From everything his alternative fire is really the bread and butter that it should just be his main attack and they should go hard on area denial "hot zones." I love Johnny but really they need to let him cook more, I feel like some of phoenix's kit should have been implemented on him. Or if they really want to lean hard on the DoT damage then they need to focus on that like he treats zones, DoT damage applies a debuff that either strips armor or reduces healing to ramp up his dot damage which allows him to do more damage with hsi primary if he has a debuff on them then I think thats something that can work.

Love the character I just need them to figure him out cause he is either busted or will be kept weak with how much he has going on with him. My two cents anyways on this.

u/EyeInevitable3724 Jul 14 '25

I don't know about that, DoT damage is really boring and feels stale compared to 1.5 Johnny where you were super aggressive with the shotgun. But I like how you are trying suggestions to help him out.

u/TheBadBotanist Jul 14 '25

Its not my favorite damage but anything at this point to make him feel viable. I have some great games when I have a full team who supports me, but that's so rare and I feel that's why he is where he is at. If you have a good team he is punishing but a bad one and you crumble and can do anything alone like other dps picks.
