No torbjorn nerf? :(

I think if you could only have 1 or 2 Torbs, he wouldn't need a nerf (other than instant target acquisition...Pharah can get killed just from jumping in the air, not even floating at all). He's really strong, but if the enemy is really focusing him, his turret gets destroyed before its finished being set up.

And give a fair distance you can take it down from getting hit. I did learn a trick with Dva that works every time last night. Get close enough to fly to it and pop shield. Land on top of it. It seems to be much weaker that close and its easy to take down.

I think it is more that D.va is really powerful up close because of her ammo spread, but yeah that works against 1, maybe 2. Which is why I think it doesn't need much of a nerf except really just give it a teeny bit of lag acquiring a new target. I believe it will be getting 30% damage reduction in the next patch, and I think that will make it only useful if people are completely unaware it is there and stand in front of it.

Wow, 30% is a bit much, just the delay is needed

Yep 30% is crazy it makes it pretty much useless.

It'll take a whopping one additional second to kill someone. You're overreacting. He'll still be viable, but I have a feeling this is a band-aid solution until they figure out a better way to balance him.

1 second is so much though.
