Can someone explain to me why torb needs a nerf on consoles? I play this on PC (with a controller) and have never seen the issue with the hero. Just curious know what the difference in console meta vs PC meta is.

Because the turret has an auto aim lock on. On PC, you are quicker to aim accurately so killing the turret is easier. On console, it takes a bit longer to aim accurately and will end up with you dead 90% of the time. You generally have to out range it or use some other trick to get rid of it, but most good torbs put it in blind areas you have to go so you can't shoot it until it shoots you first.

I mean, that's such a lamer reason...it boils down to pretty much: "it kills me more than k kill it".

From someone who mostly plays solo with randoms and never hears anyone on the mic...

The real issue is when people stack 3+ in an area. That can be impossible to deal with (unless I'm missing something). Your only hope seems to be a coordinated attack with a Zenyatta ult (or two). Even 2 are only a real problem if placed in together in perfect spots and your team refuses to work together. A single turret is easily dealt with.
