Torbjörn Tier Rating - B-tier

We rate Torbjörn as a B-tier Damage hero in the current Overwatch 2 meta (among possible tiers of S, A, B, C, and D).

Torbjörn's Turret can actually counter some of the strongest dive Damage Heroes, like Tracer (and, to a lesser extent, Sombra). A well-positioned Turret can deal enough damage to make Tracer's life very difficult trying to be effective against your team's backline.

The downside to Torb is that higher-ranked players are usually pretty good at taking out the Turret quickly. Without his Turret up, this character loses a lot of his value.
