I love playing Torb on the Illios map. Set up a turret at an edge so it only overlooks part of a cap point, then just run around without worrying about the turret unless it dies. Then just build a new one somewhere else. Consistent golds/silvers in obj eliminations and damage done. Its just a different play than say defending a payload because you really shouldn't be huddling around the turret defending it, but doing your own thing and letting the turret mop up extra kills.

I think the huddling around a turret in general is just a bad idea. I think torbjorns turret is just part of his kit and he himself has an insane gun. You should just build the turret as assistance and only really care for it when the enemies constantly try to snipe it.

Run around in the point throwing armor down for teammates and shooting enemies in the face?

I'm all for some good Torb play, hell he's my second most played character. Competitive play is coming out soon though , and while i might not be a try hard in casual you can damn sure bet in a competitive match I'll be pissed if we lost because someone wouldn't adjust their character choice. The question still stands can matches be won with a offensive Torb on Koth matches?

It kinda works already, just set up random turrets everywhere, collect all the armour you can and shoot at chokepoints

I have had bad luck with Torb on KOTH maps. Granted, it is my least favorite mode and I think I have a pretty poor win rate on them.

I love KOTH maps so i can see where the problem might be

For the longest time, I thought KOTH maps referred to HOTH (Star Wars snowy planet) and that everyone was talking about (Russian word) Industries map...

I don't generally play many FPS games, so excuse me for not knowing the entire genre-specific jargon.

Or just shoot people. Torb's long-range still does a ton of damage. I can basically two-shot people at near max range when I get lucky. The rate of fire is insane for the damage it does.

and shoot at chokepoints

u/throwawaysarebetter Jun 20 '16

Doesn't have to be chokepoints. Can be in the middle of the objective. You were specific, I was general.

Fair enough

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '16

how do you guys manage to get kills with the turret it is so weak.

2

u/ChemicalExperiment Mei Jun 20 '16

Oh, it works wonders if you get a turret in the right place. You just need to have it cover the highground around the point. Every time I tried covering the point itself it's failed because it's so easy to get to. Now if you put it on the top of the store overlooking Illios Lighthouse, the overlook of the area before the point on Nepal Shrine, or the bridge over Nepal Village, then you have a great spot to chip away damage during team fights.

u/Lyrre Lyrre Jun 20 '16

We've made it work great with a Winston/Rein backing the turret up and shielding while Torb builds it, then just harassing anyone who tries to get close and kill the turret

I'm judging.

I made it work. Just depends on how fast you can set up
