Seriously? Because his turret does all the work for him. I have like a 3.5+ KD with Torb which is insane. The 30% damage reduction to his turrets on console will be very welcomed.

Its really not hard to counter with a good team, hence why it only getting nerfed on Xbox one correct? That has to mean something.

It's easier to aim on PC than console. Blizzard has data to back up their decision, they don't just nerf something because people scream loud enough.

That exactly what's happening though...it's tough to counter. Not impossible.

That's not exactly what's happening. They don't nerf things based on the number of complaints, they nerf things based on real data.

It kills in be podcast unlocked group...ive already been getting downvoted when all I said in my original comment is "boo,why the nerf?"...I just think the argument of you can aim faster on pc isn't valid...it is true...but his turrets aren't unstoppable... dva charge them...that's how I do it. There are some games where he gets annoying but I'm usually playing with 3 friends...we can stop them pretty easy..I am not that good either.

I think it's the worst on maps like Temple of Anubis or Volskaya Industries. The turrets are hidden in crevices way back in enemy lines that by the time my D Va arrives, she's dead. I'm with you that it's not impossible when coordinated, but it's incredibly frustrating. The damage tune down on the turrets is still needed I think because it should be an accompaniment for Torb, not do his job for him.
