Basically the good Torbjorns keep armor packs up on teammates near half the time. Also he's a pseudo tank if you have Ult + 200/200 armor packs ready to go.
COME GET YOUR ARMOR!
Agreed, I enjoy playing torb somewhat aggressively and moving my turret around a lot (often using it to watch my back). I've also managed to grab a lot of kills by quickly dropping a turret in a 1v1 and then shotgunning the enemy to the face while they waste time on the lvl 1 turret.

I also think people need to stop putting so much thought into character balance in the scope of hero vs hero. It's a 6v6, counters can be much deeper than just you picking a different hero. I can see Mei being fun to play, if your goal is to be a complete jerk to everyone. But Torbjorn... that's just beyond me. Doing nothing is fun for some people, I guess.
Mei's right click really packs a punch if you can get used to the weird fire-delay timing. It feels comparable to Mcree's primary fire, and is a reliable way to get headshots on squishy heroes at midrange. Personally, I love her on KOTH maps where I'll poke & prod slightly on the side of my team and then try to flank and drop my ult + a wall to prevent them from backtracking.

Had to attack on Route 66 and we had 2 people playing defense heroes. We barely got the payload anywhere and lost before the first checkpoint, meanwhile there's a Widowmaker derping in the back, not adding anything of use. What the fuck makes you think that's a great idea on attack? It sure didn't do anything to help whatever mistakes myself or the others were making.

Definitely agree that people not playing the objective really makes the game dull. However, Widowmaker is actually one of the best attack heroes on Route 66. In competitive matches, she's used 80% of the time on attack as opposed to 40% on defense: http://www.planetoverwatch.org/11-overwatch-hero-meta-report-the-grand-beta-review

Mei is my main, such a fun class to play xD can understand people finding her annoying to play agaisnt though.
Her right click does insane damage even from long range, land headshots and you'll be 1 hitting tracer's and taking 90% hp from any 200hp hero class.

While I think this game is fun, the matchmaking could certainly need some improvements IMHO. Either that or I am playing vs. 6-stacks as a solo player

I'm pretty much pissed, because I already had 7-8 games where I connect and game is already lost... having a good win rate when playing solo is impossible :\
Today I even joined a game just to see DEFEAT screen. Fastest lose in my career, lmao.

I see skill levels all over the place in my games

People picking Torbjorn on attack on that map...

Temple of Anubis. Everyone runs up the bridge in the middle one at a time instead of using side paths for ten minutes. So painful.

She's generally one of the best attack heroes period. Getting a pick on attack with widow makes a coordinated push way way stronger since its 6v5 and widow will probably get poke damage in during the attack as well.

Level 31... literally not a single epic skin has dropped for me. Oh but I did get a single legendary, the industrial one for Zarya which in my opinion, is the ugliest skin. My last loot box I found three replicates, two of which were sprays so only 5 coins (and one icon so 15 coin). Really hating my luck now... Does not help when friends repeatedly get legendary and epic skins.

lol I hate your friend... When I turned level 32, I received duplicate icon and three voice lines. WooooOOOoooo. This is why I cannot spend money on loot boxes. I would end up getting zilch from it and throw away money.

No salt here, I don't care for Overwatch skins anyway -_-;

The particular players I was with at the time probably had more to do with that game's abject failure. Pub games are a real crapshoot.

New personal record for me. I enter a game, couldn't even press the "select" button and the "defeat" screen apeared. 3 seconds loss. Great. Blizzard know what they are doing, as always.
Right now I have 49,9%(45 out of 91) winrate and at least 10 of my losses are from games that I entered in the end with almost no chance to contribute.

Temple of Anubis used to be more defense favored on point B. There was a wall up at the left side and you had to do some platforming and stuff to get on the other side. Usually I try to get people to play double monkey. You really need Res and 2 Tanks to stop the respawn flood.

My frustration is more that people wont change their characters or their strats and prefer to die constantly for ten minutes than with the map specifically. I just see it happen there a lot.

I've had 3 (Hanzo, Reinhardt, Reaper) by level 15, 2 of which for characters I play. My partner hasn't had any, so she's a bit annoyed at me haha.
