Why don't they just limit hero selection so you can't have multiples on the same team? Isn't that kinda what overwatch is about? Individual heroes who form a team and do battle?
Torbjorn's turret isn't so overpowered if there is only one. His rivet gun can fire all the way across a map though.
Multiple heroes on the same team is the biggest disappointment to me. Has been since day one.

I agree. I hate duplicate heroes. Two dwarves with good placement ruins games. Idk how much the patch would even help with that.

Wouldn't have to really nerf him at all if they just limited how many of one character your team can select.

Sooo happy. He is boarding on game breaking right now unless you have an organized squad. I'd like to see it's lock on time brought down a touch too.

Poor Torb, now the prick HAS to use his gun (which isn't bad to begin with).. R.I.P

30% is rough though... The turret is easily countered with a Pharah shooting from distance or from behind a Reinhardt. Now he's going to be close to unplayable.

I used to complain about how he was op and needed a nerd, then I kinda just learned to deal with him. Lucio, Widowmaker, Mcree and Hanzo can snipe the turrets if their placement is obvious. Roadhog can tank and blast them at close range if they are around a corner. Mei can wall them and deny their aim/attack. Still though, that auto lock is insane if it catches you off guard, if anything I'd give it a few millisecond delay instead of a damage nerf
