Overwatch- After 2 long years, Symmetra is finally good. - Games

I'll be honest does torb even need a rework? or did they see how throwing turrets with Symmetra worked out well so they are forcing it on torb

And his armor packs? Are they going too? just like Symmetra's Shield Matrix?

Ah yes let's ruin another hero. I tried Sym for the first time in comp (because why not) and when I saw that ult I wanted to jump off a cliff.

It seems like at this point they are just reworking heroes because they are bored and want something to do Not because the reworks are actually needed.

Torb is good on defence but he's borderline useless on attack. I think this is intended to make him a more balanced character, especially now that attack/defence roles don't exist anymore

Leave Torb alone ffs, there's nothing wrong with him

I like a few of the changes in new Symm, the new teleport and the new turrets but overall, the changes I dislike just ruin her so much to me. While most people disliked the primary attack locking on in the past, I thought it made her an easy to play hero for less abled players, whether they were just unskilled at aiming or having any sort of disability. I really don't understand the gimmick of doing extra damage to barriers and recharging ammo for it 'cause to use it you're going to be in arms reach away from the enemy and get yourself killed. The new secondary I don't like because it removed the role she had of doing damage to grouped enemies stacked up behind shields. The new photon barrier is okay for things you use a barrier for, but it's just such a pathetic ultimate, especially when compared to old Symm's shield matrix.

I wish they'd work on releasing new heroes faster instead of reworking heroes that are fine.

Molten core is actually my favorite ultimate in the game. Not for the turret but for what it does to torb. Torb's M2 is just so damn satisfying to use, running around as a 500hp death matchine capping people with his shotgun is probably one of hte most satisfying things Overwatch has. I'm really sad to see it go.

Yeah but torb doesn't get picked in the OWL so of course they'd change him.

most of the shitty characters we’ve seen/currently have in the game are because they don’t have movement abilities torb isn’t that good because his turret is pretty much the opposite of a movement ability, you have to place it down, spend a few seconds upgrading it and hope an enemy doesn’t do 1 point of damage so one of your slow hammer hits doesn’t resgister as upgrading but repairing it seems like his kit is meant to work around the turret but that isn’t good because the turret is utter shit without molten core

Torb needs a cooler turret, so they should just make it into a small bastion unit and that will help Torb

I wonder if it's able to reload. Or do you have to buy a new one after shooting it eight times? 🤔

It's completely different though? Sym shoots her turrets out like a rocket now, the change they're suggesting is more like you can throw your turret out like a pokemon. I don't think it's a bad change, It's more in line with out torb was always intended to be used.

God more kids toys I have to spend money on

Here's some things I'd want for a cooler turret: Make his turret throwable Turret can stick on any flat, solid surfaces in any orientation Turret placed in illegal areas will bounce off and assemble in a suitable position elsewhere OR Turret placed in illegal areas will be refunded and the ability can be used again Change his turrets to attack more aggressively Double fire rates of both turrets, lvl 1 raised from 2 to 4 shots per second, and level 2 raised from 4 to 8 shots per second Reduce damage down from 14 to 8, lvl 1 DPS raised from 28 to 32, lvl 2 DPS raised from 56 to 64, and assuming MC will be kept lvl 3 DPS raised from 70 to 80 As an alternative to upgrading with the Forge Hammer, Turrets can self-upgrade from either doing damage to enemies itself or by your own gun. The amount of points to upgrade the turret has been increased to 300 Upgrade points added to the turret are equal to the amount of damage you or the turret deal to enemies Forge hammer adds 60 upgrade points per hit, equaling the original 5 hits required to upgrade

i think it might be an issue with your computer i used to have that issue where i'd load into a game and i wouldn't be able to see anyone until like a minute into the game

Why not just give Torb a turret that follows him around and his ult be that it goes stationary and gets stronger or maybe he sends out like 3 level 1 turrets that try to track enemies down disclaimer: I just started playing again yesterday after over half a year haha

Overwatch community: Hanzo, Symettra, and Torbjorn are troll picks and useless. Blizzard: Okay, let's work on these characters. Overwatch community: Blizzard why are you changing our dear characters??

I see it more as like the gunslinger engie.

I wonder if overwatch will eventually have different loadouts for characters...

I doubt it. I think they want to implement different playstyles through different characters.

Don't be silly, that would be a good change.

Can you explain why.

I've always considered Torbjorn a higher tier than Symmetra, so I wasnt really shocked to hear Sym got a complete overhaul. Torb however has actually worked on various maps and comps, and did have the potential to be a really good pick. So hearing he's getting an overhaul on the same level is pretty shocking.

They should just give Sym back her shield or something, she's so boring to play now tbh.

She can be an absolute demon in a deathmatch tho. Especially on console versions.

Sometimes in these threads I feel like I'm playing a different game than you guys, playing new Symmetra in comp is the most fun I've had in this game in along time. Teleporting is fun.

Paladins has a card loadout system that could be pretty interesting in Overwatch.

IIRC there used to be an arcade mode that was called MOBAwatch but i think all it did was prevent hero switching I wouldn't be a huge fan of directly porting paladin's card system in Overwatch's main game modes but putting it into a revamped MOBAwatch could be pretty fun
