…Torbjörn's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Versatile primary fire.
Torbjörn can fire a spread shot with right-click and a normal projectile with left-click. At close range the spread shot deals more damage, so he can flexibly change his attack to match the range he wants to fight at - spread when the distance is closed, normal projectile at long range.
Durability via armor and Torbjörn:E.
Torbjörn has more health than other damage heroes and, unusually for a damage hero, has 50 health worth of armor. Using Torbjörn:E grants overhealth, giving him a very high ability to endure instantaneous damage and to survive even when harassed by flankers.
Anti-flanker/dive via his turret.
Torbjörn's turret prioritizes attacking the hero Torbjörn is aiming at, so if Torbjörn prioritizes targeting a flanker, the enemy flanker is easily left with no options.
How to Counter
Use poke-style heroes.
Torbjörn has performance that is thoroughly strong against dive and flanker compositions, thanks to his turret, Torbjörn:E, and his right-click shotgun. By fighting from afar with poke heroes - and given that Torbjörn has a large hitbox - it's easy to gain an advantage.
Use heroes that can fly into the air.
Torbjörn's primary fire is a projectile with travel time and arcs through the air, making it hard to land on airborne heroes.
Trivia
The turret deals 48 damage per second to enemies, which is about the same as Moira's damage orb.
