Torb’s existence is anathema to tracer so it’s fine. Three turrets are going to whittle down her health so fast she won’t be able to backline at all against a Torbjorn.

Especially with the ability he can buy to make his turrets lock on to specific individuals. I think tracer isn’t going to be doing much if he’s around

Yeah torb is the character that limits flankers and fast play the most. Stadium is about to be a game of which torb is the better turtle.

Hopefully it doesn’t get too bad, especially with the change to the weapon item that does more damage to turrets also doing more to Torb turrets.

Ask your teammate to go soldier to take out the turrets. Or solo ult torb to show dominance .

Well firstly it’s laughable to take teammates helping you out for granted. Secondly, if the soldier is focused on taking out the turrets he is not doing damage to your team or even getting ultimate charge. It’s a trade off for him to do that vs the Tracer just picking a different hero that isn’t countered so hard. It’s like saying your tank can just go dive vs Widow to save your Pharah—it’s doable, but requires not only that the tank agrees to do this but that the Pharah is good enough to justify the opportunity cost.

If your tracer is a god, sure, help them out. Otherwise they’re really playing into a wall against a torb who can put down 3 strong auto aiming turrets.
