Poll of the Day > Why are people so against playing torb on overwatch?

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's amazing in most cases and fills so many roles.

Because he's really not that strong, and his turret is very easy to deal with, so half his dps can be removed from the game, and the other half of his dps can be easily healed through.

False-- his shotgun to the face is a lot of dps, especially with molten core. Unless you're baiting turret, his turret is useful.

His Shotgun can take on and beat Tanks, it's stupid....

I'm more against Symmetra, in that I wish she WOULDN'T be picked by anyone, I get sick of her so damn quick and her no-skill gun....

i loved torb for defense when the game first came out. so easy to get huge kill streaks and hold the other team but as people figured out how to counter him that went away

His biggest counters in my experience are soldier, pharah, and junkrat (occasionally widow if she's far enough). All of these can be dealt with given that you have a competent tank. The only place where torb isn't a good pick is on anubis on attack imho, simply because it's so small that it's hard to get your turret setup without it being blasted away before you reach point.
