I saw a post with the Master Overwatch earlier and now my friends are having fun comparing stats

I'm the #733 Torb on PSN, apparently, but my buddy's #51 as Mei

I'm mad my k:d with D. Va is above 3

I've other characters close to 3 but you'd think with how low her damage is it'd be less

She stays alive forever though if you're ok with her pilot form, it wouldn't surprise me if she had the highest KD overall (I'm at 4 I think but I've only played like 10 games as her so there's not much to go on I guess)

part of why I like her so much is because her pilot mode doesn't really seem like a detriment if I can dodge back to behind the front line. thanks for giving me a long-range weapon to snipe with!!

Offense Torbjörn is surprisingly effective in the hands of someone who can read the enemy team well enough to place the turret in effective positions. It also requires a team that's able to keep the enemy's attention well enough to let you build it up to level 2 but with the range on it all you really need to do is get around them without getting into a fight.

I love setting a turret up overlooking the point we're trying to take. it holds the front line, denies ground to the enemy, and in pushing the point you can pull enemies into range

Imagine playing every attack for the past two weeks against double torb, with no text chat, aiming left-handed. That's console right now.

I played around 10 attacks tonight. All against at least two Torbs, all losses. You can't peek them. A typical encounter with a "hard counter character" is basically:

1. Die and have no idea where from. Watch kill cam to figure out where the thing is.

2. Position yourself to peek it. Jump out shoot at it, jump back in and see you took 140 damage. Grab a nearby health pack. Line up your next shot out of LOS.

3. Peek and shoot. Knock it down to half health before he ults 90 seconds into the match and one-shots you.

4. Swap to a new character and wait until they push past the initial choke so you can have some fun before your loss.

5. Have the game reinstance and drop you into another attack.

6. Go 3-12 for the night.

can't believe you just outed yourself as being so bad

Torbjorn is ironically a great class for shooting turrets if you are good at shooting his rivet gun

I'm disappointed, I thought your personal performance in ranked matches did matter

even if I lose, it seems like it's a bad game for me if I don't have two or three golds. I don't want to be ranked poorly when it comes out on consoles because my teammates were shite

Also if you're on console there will not be a soul using teamchat effectively. Proper PS4 mic procedure seems to be:

1. Put on mic
2. Immediately forget you have it on
3. At random intervals, just kinda chew it

the real trick is to go in with your three-stack and pick up the guys with mics who play well with a team. I've got some guys I roll with

Playing with people you know and don't like at all (but your friends do) has to be the worst poo poo in the game. If I don't play 1 of reaper/76/pharah, we are guaranteed a loss. :argh:
