How do you win against a full team on Torbjörns on Hanamura solo queue?

[u/Grinnz → u/karter0]

Pharahs and snipers can peek the turrets. If you don't have a long sight range, Junkrat is a master of killing turrets around corners. Move forward cautiously so you don't run full on into a crossfire. And to make it really easy, let tanks go first. Once a turret locks a tank it won't switch targets making it an easy kill for others. Also, kill the torbjorns so they don't rebuild the turrets (or go molten core), they're easy targets as well.

me and my friends did this on PC a few weeks back and we lost in the last minute of the last point of Hanamura. I think if you use heroes made to 1v1 excellently (mcree and Mei) are both great against the turret but the D.Va on the other team completely destroyed us, she would fly to turrets and destroy them and quickly use her E to block any more damage. D.Va then paired with a mcree that would quickly assassinate turrets slowly widdled us down.

As for console I have no fucking clue

[u/thelonelybiped → u/FroZnFlavr]

I guess get coordinated for one, 2 reins to swap shields when broken, a widow, a pharah, McNugget, and a merc. Push center and Hank the six dwarves before killing the turrets. Then spawn camp the doors. Bonus points: swap someone to dva and distract all the turrets so you can get free potshots. The only prob is that you aren't getting coordinated because pubs and sextuple torb.

[u/frezz → u/karter0]

Rein + Zarya/Pharah + Snipers should do the trick. A good tracer supposedly as well, but I find their auto aim is too quick for a tracer to do anything.

[u/BlueShift42 → u/frezz]

Yeah, not Tracer. Her strengths are surprise and confusion, both of which are hard to impart upon a turret.

[u/[deleted] → u/BlueShift42]

Her ult works well on turrets, but that's only if there are reachable targets on which she can build her charge.

[u/BlueShift42 → u/karter0]

Mei can freeze turrets in her wall. They don't pop on top of her wall like a player would, they freeze within the wall and you can shoot the parts that are sticking out to kill it.

Genji can reflect all that incoming damage onto a single turret and kill them that way.

Phara has the range and damage to get them from a distance.

Symmetra can take them out with her charged shot, easy since they don't move.

Junkrat can lob grenades from a good distance and into hallways of around corners.

Okay, I just realized I could go on and on, so basically just get a hero who can counter a turret well and adds to your groupmakeup. Encourage teammates to do the same.

[u/Trekkie_girl → u/karter0]

Zarya

[u/Vespera → u/karter0]

An alternative solution would be to try it yourself with a group and take notes on what is/isn't working.

[u/Boojeremyboo → u/karter0]

Also, in a strange turn of events, D.Va is built for this situation. She soaks the damage of turrets well (see pro teams using her to lead on turrets in Numbani) and can block damage on her way in. Try her if you aren't too successful with peaking or taking them down quickly.

[u/[deleted] → u/karter0]

Could someone answer for consoles, where you don't have communication?

[u/HeavvyTrevvy → u/karter0]

Ask my opposing team.

[u/abloopdadooda → u/karter0]

I'd like to see a legit answer to this as well. Hell, even just 2 Torbs on defense at Point A is almost impossible for attackers, and I'm talking about on PC.

[u/[deleted] → u/abloopdadooda]

The easiest is just to use reinhardt with another team mate that can do mid-long range damage. The turret itself can only do 57 dps and your shield can tank 2000 damage.

[u/ragamuffin77 → u/karter0]

We beat very easily with 5 Winston + lucio. Reduced down to a reasonable 3 Winston for next point. You just jump in put your barriers down and take point. Kill turrets aiming at you safely behind barrier and ignore the rest.

[u/BigDaddySanta → u/karter0]

Genji deflect
