TheMiBu Gaming: Overwatch (Open Beta) Episode 13 - Torbjörn Character Review

Welcome to TheMiBu Gaming channel. During the Overwatch Open Beta I am trying to review all 21 available characters. I am not a professional FPS player, so if I am getting something wrong, you can leave your feedback in the comments. Up in this episode: Torbjörn. A Dwarf from Azeroth flung into Earth's future. |--| Just kidding. Torbjörn Lindholm is a Swedish former Overwatch Engineer who provided it with some of its finest and most effective technological designs. Before the Omnic Crisis, Torbjörn had gained notoriety for designing weapons systems used by countries around the world. However, his belief that technology must serve a better vision for humanity put him at odds with his employers, who desired to control his weapons using networked computer intelligence. |--| Torbjörn had a deep mistrust of sentient robotic intelligence, and while many of his peers wrote this off as paranoia, his worst fears were realized when the robot populations of the world turned against their human creators during the Omnic Crisis. Because of his engineering genius, he was recruited to join the original Overwatch strike team, and his many inventions proved integral to ending the crisis. In the years that followed, Overwatch became an international peacekeeping force, and Torbjörn remained a critical resource for all of its technological needs and signature weapons systems. |--| But in the aftermath of Overwatch's fall, many of Torbjörn's weapons were stolen or stashed away around the world. Feeling responsible for his creations, Torbjörn is determined to stop them from falling into the wrong hands and wreaking havoc on the innocent. |--| Torbjörn is a Defensive character who sets up a perimeter of turrets around an area and boosts the defenses of allies who defend with him. His weapon is the Rivet Gun, which can either fire rivets at long range or eject molten slag in a shotgun burst at close enemies. His first ability is Forge Hammer. While he holds the hammer, he can build and repair turrets, and in a pinch, the hammer can be used as a melee weapon. His second ability is Build Turret, to build a stationary sentry gun that deal damage to enemies who come close by. Using his Forge Hammer, he can also repair or upgrade his turret to a level 2 one, increasing its health and effectiveness, by giving it an extra gun. His third ability is Armor Pack. Torbjörn can collect scrap metal from dead enemies and allies. He can then use the scrap metal to eject an armor pack onto the ground that either he or an ally can pick up to increase their armor and reduce the damage they take. His ultimate, Molten Core, causes him to overheat his personal forge, rapidly increasing his attack speed and turret building speed. When Molten Core is activated, he also gains a large amount of armor and his level 2 turret will become a level 3 one. Full article and all credits regarding above description going to.
