0:00And this Torbjörn guide comes courtesy
0:02of the greatest clutch I've ever had in
0:04OverWatch. So, first, let me show you my
0:07credentials cuz, you know, I know that
0:08matters. So, this is my second account.
0:10You know, I play on it a decent amount,
0:11you know, I'm you know, I don't play
0:12tank a lot. I play DPS kind of, you
0:14know, I'm not I'm not too high rank on
0:16on this account, but I'll show you my
0:17main account quickly just so you know
0:19that I'm not I'm not I'm not a bum. Now,
0:21I'm not the highest rank player. I do
0:23not grind as much as I really used to,
0:25but
0:27let it load. I'm I'm I'm a decently high
0:29rank. This is um we can just go look. Uh
0:33we go uh where is open queue? We're
0:35going to look for me. Where is me? So,
0:39what? I'm like I'm like GM4 open.
0:40Haven't played a lot, but they but these
0:42are my ranks. So,
0:43let's teach you how to play Torbjörn cuz
0:46a lot of people think that Torb is just
0:48okay, put turret down and just spam down
0:51main. That's in- that's incorrect. That
0:53is the wrong way to play him. If you're
0:54playing them like that, you ain't
0:55getting no value. We want to [ __ ] off
0:58angle and even flank sometimes as Torb,
1:01okay? So, let me just run you through
1:03how like how to use his abilities. So,
1:05your your overload is a very versatile
1:07ability, but to put it simply, we're
1:10just going to use it like any standard,
1:12you know, movement ability, right? You
1:13know, you know, think about um coach
1:15gun, slide, sprint, pistol, just like
1:18any of these abilities where I teach
1:20you, okay, we're going to go
1:21aggressively on an angle and then we're
1:22going to disengage out. So, like imagine
1:24we're poking main a little bit cuz
1:25that's what we want to do. Poke, poke,
1:27poke. And then like there's a guy under
1:28here. Okay, we're going to go create
1:30this angle. And then if we get forced
1:32out, well, then we're just going to use
1:33our overload to live and that's going to
1:35help us live. But
1:37because overload obviously gives you
1:39attack speed and over health, we do want
1:41to use it aggressively sometimes to
1:42squeeze out that value. So, the way we
1:44can use it is that if we have an
1:46advantage in the fight and we're just
1:47going forward and pressing our our feet
1:49forward and we're taking advantage, we
1:51can pop overload and just go forward and
1:53just do a bunch of [ __ ] damage. Cuz
1:54it you You like this this shotgun or
1:56this little primary fire, it does a [ __ ]
1:58ton of damage, right?
2:00But, if you're if you're on the off
2:02angle, let's say we're poking a little
2:03bit, and then we take the off angle, and
2:04we realize that that we can go in, we
2:07can push our advantage, then go first,
2:09because you do a bunch of [ __ ] that.
2:11Now, when it when it comes to your
2:12turret, you always want to place it on
2:14an off angle, okay? But, the biggest
2:17point that I can make with this turret
2:19is that you don't want to use it too
2:21early, because what a lot of people do
2:22is that like that you know, like they're
2:24just poking, and then they put the
2:25turret down, and then like a and then
2:27what happens? Either the enemies just
2:29back up, which I guess, sure, you get
2:31some space, but now you've just wasted
2:32your turret, right? So, like they back
2:34up, ignore the turret, or what is what
2:36is going on here?
2:38Huh, anyway. Or, you place it down, and
2:40then the enemies instantly break it, and
2:42then that's a 12-second cool down just
2:43gone. So, you want to use it in the
2:45middle of the fight when when you're
2:47going to go on an off angle, right? So,
2:49so I've let's say, right? I'm going to
2:50go on an off angle, I'll chuck it on on
2:52the left, I'm going to go on the right,
2:54and we have multiple points of pressure,
2:55right? The enemies are dealing with my
2:56team, they have to deal with my turret,
2:58and they have to deal with me. This is
2:59where it's all going to be very strong,
3:01cuz just you force people to look at a
3:03bunch of angles. Or, what you can do
3:05sometimes is let me get my turret back,
3:07right?
3:09Let me use this just so I can get the
3:10point. Sometimes, you can literally go
3:14on this angle, shoot a bit, but as
3:16you're disengaging, place the turret on
3:18that off angle, and then go back main,
3:20cuz you probably used your overload, and
3:21then you can go on on like the left
3:23side, right? The way I did this with the
3:24turret is that you always want to use it
3:27just on an off angle. You like you you
3:29should never be in a position where like
3:31you're standing on top of your turret,
3:33unless you're playing escort or hybrid,
3:36and you're just sitting on the payload
3:38hammering a turret. Cuz sometimes, not
3:40not all of the times, but it can work.
3:43Like you just sit here hammering the
3:45turret, but of course, that's a bit
3:46suboptimal, and that's more so for fun.
3:48The main way you want to use the turret
3:50is place it on off angles in in the
3:51middle of the
3:52because then not only are you going to
3:53be off angling and forcing the enemies
3:55to make one of the three choices that I
3:57talk about, but your turret is also
3:59going to force them to do that, right?
4:00And and then and then if you if you've
4:01got the the part here, which which makes
4:04the turret even stronger. I don't
4:05personally take it, but if you've got
4:07that part, it's really strong.
4:09Now, when it comes to his ultimate,
4:11again, you you want to use this mid
4:13fight when the enemies commit in, so
4:15that you don't want to use it too early,
4:17because then they're all just going to
4:18avoid the lava, right? You want to wait
4:19for someone to commit in and then place
4:22the the lava. Let me specifically show
4:23you, right?
4:25You want to place the lava, right? Let's
4:27say this guy walks forward. You want to
4:29place it on people's escape routes and
4:32corners, right? Because when you place
4:34it on corners,
4:35you know, corners are where the enemies
4:37want to peek, so then they can no longer
4:38stand there, right? So, put it so put it
4:40on where people will want they want to
4:41run away and place it on corners. And of
4:43course, very very obvious but basic tip,
4:46you want to spread out the lava cuz cuz
4:48it doesn't do any more damage if it's
4:50all in one group. You want to place it,
4:52you know, individually around. So, I
4:54guess that the main tip I can tell you
4:56is just take your time, you know, think
4:58about the corners the enemies want to
4:59play on like long range people, think
5:01about, you know, like flank route, you
5:03know, cut off the main angle, corner
5:04here, corner here, boom boom boom. Of
5:06course, you know, like don't don't take
5:08too long cuz cuz the ult does run out
5:10pretty quick. But yeah, that's that's
5:12basically how you're going to play Torb.
5:13I I his hammer, it's not really a
5:16necessary part of his kit. Like
5:18obviously, at the end of a fight, if
5:20your turret is still up and it's still
5:22going to be helpful, then, you know,
5:23just hammer it and cuz like walking into
5:26the turret and trying to hammer it, it
5:27just kind of puts you in danger cuz
5:29you're walking into the turret where the
5:31enemies are going to look at it. It's
5:32not
5:33I I feel like it's a it's a bit of an
5:35outdated part of his kit, but like it it
5:37still has its uses. Now, when it when it
5:39comes to his perks, I I have
5:41experimented a lot with all of them. For
5:44a long time, I used to take hammer time
5:46and, you know, I've tried to use
5:47Overloaded in some situations, but I
5:50prefer Preheated and Anchor Bolts just
5:52because Anchor Bolts is just busted. And
5:55Preheated really just allows you to
5:58actually like use your ultimate, right?
6:00And what And now what you can do is that
6:03you can press your overload.
6:05And then once the overload's finished,
6:07you can press your ultimate, you get
6:09another overload, and then obviously
6:10inside of the old you're going to have
6:12movement speed, more health, and then by
6:14the time that overload finishes, you're
6:15going to have overload again. So it it's
6:18it's similar to that one Lucio park
6:20where like you used to get the amps. So
6:22like that's why I I really like it. The
6:24one thing I can tell you with this
6:26Preheated park
6:27is that if you're already in overloads,
6:30right? So if you're already in overload,
6:32pressing your ultimate won't re-give you
6:35overload, right? It'll just pop the old.
6:37Oh, actually does. Well, hold on a
6:39minute. When I was in a game, it didn't
6:41do that. Hold on. Let me
6:42Let me see something.
6:44Hold on a minute.
6:47Cuz cuz before that's not that's not
6:48what happened.
6:50Let me take some damage here.
6:52Uh actually no, let me get the robots.
7:01Yeah, so okay. So it So it resets the
7:04overload timer, but it doesn't give you
7:06the over health. And the over health is
7:07kind of why you want to pop the uh
7:09thing. So make sure you're not in
7:11overload
7:12as you're about to pop your old or else
7:13you're not going to get the extra uh
7:15health. And you know, you And you
7:16probably need that. Um um other than
7:19that, can I think of anything else? Uh
7:21yeah, on So when you're when you're
7:23playing defense on, you know, escort or
7:26just in general, right? Cuz like you're
7:27you know, everyone is always playing
7:28defense or attack. When you're on
7:30defense, that's where you can set up
7:32your turret in like a really annoying
7:34spot. Let's say that Mm, how can I do
7:37this? Let's say, right? The enemies are
7:39coming from this direction and they have
7:41to get over here. You can place the
7:42turret on a really deep angle like this,
7:45which is going to kind of force the
7:46enemies to like wide peak into the
7:48turret to break it. But then they're
7:50going to get shot by the enemies. But if
7:52they walk forwards to go push the
7:53enemies, or or your team in this case,
7:56well then they're going to get shot by
7:57the turret, right? So, you can do that
7:58on defense cuz you've already got the
8:00time and the enemies have to come to you
8:02in order to capture the objective. But
8:03if you're playing like, you know, on
8:06attack or something, don't don't use
8:08turret too early. Wait for the enemies
8:09to get busy and then and then off angle
8:11with that [ __ ] It's going to get a lot
8:13of value. Now, I'm going to get into the
8:14replay of the the Grim Salon game that I
8:17played. And uh yeah, I hope I hope you
8:20get value from this guide. I'm I'm going
8:21to go really like into autistic detail
8:23why I take certain angles and when. So,
8:25it's like you're definitely going to get
8:27a lot of value. All right. So, we are in
8:29the game. So, let's kind of talk about a
8:31bit more about like what you actually
8:33want to do as Torb, right? As Torb, just
8:36like every other hero in the game, you
8:38want to do damage and off angle. That's
8:40that's that's basically like the whole
8:41principle of playing the game, right?
8:42You want to do damage, poke the enemies
8:44so that your team can so that your team
8:46can go in. And then when your team goes
8:47in, that's when you can go off angle,
8:49right? The people that
8:51the people that play Torb, they miss
8:53doing damage very efficiently cuz they
8:55either play too far away or they don't
8:57shoot enough. And and they especially
8:59miss off angling on this area. They kind
9:00of just sit in the back and just like
9:02let things happen to them. So, yeah, I
9:03remember the start of this game was kind
9:05of goofy cuz like I walked past the ball
9:08and like I I I saw this on the right and
9:11I was like,
9:12"That That looks kind of weird." Like
9:14that that doesn't look normal. But but
9:16I'll be honest, I was I was just looking
9:17at the door over here and I was like,
9:19"Hold on, that looks That looks
9:21suspiciously,
9:23you know, circular shape." You know, it
9:25>> [laughter]
9:25>> looks so weird. So, obviously I shoot
9:28Torb, right? And like I'm I'm
9:29immediately going on this left side
9:30angle. I'm letting my team go down main.
9:32I can go down this left side to get to
9:34uh you know, control this angle.
9:36But I get pushed by a ball tracer. so
9:38what do I do? I'm going to use my
9:39overload to just get out, right? And I
9:41put my turret down as well because I'm
9:42disengaging, so I may as well just leave
9:44my turret there to kind of dissuade the
9:45enemies from my playing here.
9:48So, now obviously, when I don't have my
9:50overload, I want to play a bit more
9:51passive because without that, I can't
9:53actually go in as crazy. Here, I see
9:55that Zen is fighting the tracer, so I go
9:57to help him, but I mean, he's just a
9:58[ __ ] just the best player in the
10:00game. He like he doesn't even need my
10:01help. He like like he you know, he just
10:03takes that one one V one for free and
10:04just kills him.
10:06And now, we're just going to poke a
10:07little bit, right? We're we're poking so
10:10that we can force the enemies to go back
10:12and to use cool downs. Because when they
10:14use cool downs, my team can now go in
10:16aggressively. Or, if they go in
10:18aggressively like this, you can take an
10:20angle on them. You can see how we've got
10:21like a four-way split here, right? Or a
10:23three-way split. Turret on one angle,
10:25Sierra on this angle, the team is down
10:27main here, and I'm and I'm on his left,
10:28right? We're creating such a big pinch
10:30that now the Doomfist basically just has
10:32no choice but to die cuz he put himself
10:34in a bad position. So, now, I'm going to
10:36go forward and I'm going to shoot my
10:37gun. And And notice, by the way, I'm not
10:39just barreling it down main. I'm always
10:41looking to create an angle. Why am I
10:42looking to create an angle? Cuz I want
10:43to catch them off guard. Why do Why do I
10:45want to catch them off guard? Cuz it
10:46makes it easy to kill them cuz I get the
10:49first shot, and that consequently also
10:51makes it easy to live. Cuz if I get the
10:53first shot or even if I don't, I can see
10:56them turn around, right? I can see the
10:58Junkrat. He's not looking at me. And
11:00then when I shoot him, he turns around,
11:02and now I can just disengage and he
11:03doesn't even do like any any damage to
11:05me, right? And now I go back to main,
11:07and I poke a little bit, but then I get
11:08shot by the tracer.
11:10Obviously, when you're when you're
11:11taking a one V one, it could be pretty
11:13good to throw down the turret.
11:15Or well, I mean, if you just want to
11:16disengage, then obviously, the turret is
11:18going to be a pretty good you know,
11:19flanker like denial. But like if I if I
11:21wanted to take this one V one, well like
11:23I've got turret and I've got overload, I
11:24can. I think I was just scared of the
11:26wrecking ball or like the Doomfist
11:28coming back. But like you can see how
11:29this turret, I could easily one V one
11:31this guy if I wanted to, cuz like now
11:33look at what he's focused on, the
11:34turret, and I can go shoot him.
11:36The point of Torbjörn's turret is to
11:39make it either take it off angle and and
11:42shoot people when they're not looking,
11:44or to shoot people when they're not
11:46looking. So, here's a question for you.
11:48Which angle do you think I'm going to go
11:50on? Am I going to go down the middle? Am
11:52I going to go on the left, or am I going
11:54to go on the right? You have 5 seconds
11:56to answer. Dun dun dun da da dun dun
12:01It's it's it's already very obvious. I'm
12:02going to go down the right. Why is Kai
12:04going down the right side? To create an
12:06off angle. So,
12:08>> [clears throat]
12:08>> an off angle is a position where the
12:10enemies aren't looking at. So, if we
12:12look at Anna, Junk, and Doom, where are
12:15they looking? Well, Junk is looking this
12:17way.
12:18Is the ball here as well? No, okay. So,
12:20Junk is looking this way, Anna is
12:22looking this way, and Doom is looking
12:24this way. But, why? Because my team has
12:26pushed forward. Because we pressured
12:28them earlier, we got some kills. So, now
12:30that my team is pushing forward, the
12:32enemies are going to look at them. And
12:34when they look at them, well, that's
12:36when I can go on the side and go shoot
12:38these guys. And here I pop my overload
12:40on the angle, cuz because there's a lot
12:43of people and a lot of value to be had,
12:45right? When I see three people in front
12:46of me, it's like even you know, even if
12:49I don't get a kill here, me popping
12:50overload is so much pressure on these
12:52guys that that like we're just going to
12:53end up winning the fight anyway, right?
12:55Cuz there's just so so many people to
12:57shoot. And this is also why overload is
12:59very good, cuz look at how hard it is to
13:01kill me. I've got 400 health. I've got
13:03like 75 armor, 100 over health. I have I
13:06have increased attack speed. I'm you
13:08know, she's in that and then
13:11Oh my god, I'm dying. I'm so sorry.
13:13I don't know what's happening today. I'm
13:14just so like
13:16whatever.
13:18All right. And and then you can see,
13:20when I'm disengaging, I'll kind of put
13:22the turret where I just was. I sort of
13:24just a thing of like, "Okay, don't like
13:25don't chase me, right?" It it It stops
13:27the enemies from chasing. And now I'm
13:29going to go back main. Why? Cuz I have
13:31no cool downs. You cannot get aggressive
13:33if you have no cool downs. This is like
13:35Overwatch 101. This is basic stuff right
13:38here, okay? But instead of going down
13:40the right side where all of my teammates
13:41are going, I'm going to go on the left.
13:43Why? Cuz everyone is looking at my team.
13:46So if I can create an off angle, I might
13:47be able to catch someone off guard,
13:49right?
13:51And then when I catch the junker off
13:53guard, he has to try and disengage. But
13:55but because I caught him off guard, I
13:56was I was I was able to land that first
13:58shot and then he died to the demon. So
14:00now I'm just poking, I'm chilling. I see
14:02ball down here. I go to shoot him. He
14:04gets that mega, that's okay.
14:06And and with overload, right? You have
14:08to kind of understand. This is this is
14:09the ability that that that allows you to
14:11walk around the map. I place I place the
14:14turret here because I know the ball is
14:15going to want to engage my back line and
14:17this is going to cover a lot of angles,
14:19right? It can it can protect my Zen. If
14:20you're if you're playing against like a
14:21ball, a Doom, a Winston, like you you
14:24can't really go wrong with just putting
14:26the turret in your back line because
14:28like, you know, the tanks the tanks
14:29going to have to dive your back line
14:30eventually, right? So you can't really
14:32go wrong with uh doing that. Here I go
14:35to take an angle on the left because,
14:36you know, I want to try and catch
14:37someone off guard, right? And like now
14:39maybe isn't the best time cuz my team
14:41hasn't actually moved up enough. So so
14:43what I could have done was just play
14:44this angle and then when my team takes
14:46aggro, I can go on the left. But I have
14:48overload. He he he uses that axe. I can
14:51use overload to disengage, right? And
14:52I'm chilling. I'm good.
14:54And now cuz I have no overload, this is
14:56when I'm I'm I'm especially just going
14:58to chill. I'm going to go back to my
14:59team. I'm going to play the car. You
15:00know, our demon died, our Symmetra died.
15:02There's no point playing super
15:03aggressive because we're just going to
15:05die for it, right?
15:07So here I'm I'm just in spawn, I'm
15:09poking. And then when we pop oh, I don't
15:11think this like this is a very good
15:13ultimate from me, but because I knew
15:15that the queen and the tracer were very
15:17far pushed up, I can use my ultimate to
15:19kind of cut off the the the
15:21the rest of their team, right? I place
15:23one on me. I place some on these like
15:25corners where they're where they're
15:26trying to disengage you, right? And you
15:27see, the queen walks in the lava.
15:29There's some lava over here. Man, you
15:30know, maybe if I could have gotten some
15:31lava over here, it could be pretty good.
15:33But, I'm using it when the enemies come
15:36in. I'm not I'm not using it super
15:37early, right?
15:39I see that they use trans. I can see
15:41that they're very much in the fight.
15:42They use speed ring. So So, then I put
15:44my old, and this is just going to cause
15:45a lot of chaos, right? You know, it's
15:46going to force people to move. And of
15:48course, I am I put I put my turret down
15:51as well in the middle of the fight
15:52because that is going to be able to do
15:53some damage.
15:55And like you can see how I spread it
15:56out, right? You know, there's some over
15:57here. There's some over here. There's
15:59some over here. I I put too much on the
16:01ground over here cuz like, you know, no
16:02one's even going to be over here. But,
16:04that's my mistake. It happens, all
16:05right.
16:07So, here I'm just trying to, you know,
16:09hold this angle, right? And my team's on
16:10the left. I'm trying to just see who I
16:11can shoot. But, you're going to come to
16:13find out that shooting a junior in in
16:15the sky is not easy.
16:17All right. And And again, I I place the
16:19turret kind of on the left to really
16:21dissuade people from
16:24All right. It's like when I'm when I'm
16:25disengaging an angle, I like to put down
16:27my turret just to like, you know, be
16:29annoying.
16:30But, it actually I [ __ ] outplayed
16:33this guy on accident. The The The turret
16:35ate the [ __ ] pulse bomb. That That's
16:37crazy.
16:40Oh my god, get [ __ ] buddy. So, I
16:42mean, yeah, I guess in that new circuit.
16:44How did he still die to that, by the
16:46way? What?
16:48No way you still die to that. You are
16:49terrible.
16:51Yeah, but I walk into the pulse. You're
16:52terrible, bro. I I saved your life, and
16:54you just ran away. That's okay. So,
16:56right So, right now, um there's there's
16:58three stages of sort of a fight as a
17:01player, right? You know, obviously, as a
17:03team fight, there's a lot more going on.
17:04But, like as a player, and as Torb
17:06especially, you have you have three
17:07stages. Stage one is just the poking
17:10stage. This is where you're playing
17:11pretty chill. You're just shooting your
17:12gun at range, which is what Torb is
17:14pretty good at, right? You're just
17:15shooting, trying to do a bunch of
17:16damage. And then, we get into the second
17:18stage. This is when after poking, people
17:21start to commit in. You know, like they
17:22commit their resources. They, you know,
17:24they commit positionally. Queen's in
17:26using ultimate. Tracer's in. These guys
17:28are committed in the fight. This is
17:29where you want to try and shoot people
17:31when they're not paying attention. And
17:32in this case, you know, I'm I'm I'm
17:34shooting I'm shooting the Queen. I kill
17:35Tracer cuz she's 1 HP. And then, the
17:38third stage is either clean up because
17:41you've won the fight because your angle
17:42worked or it's going to be to disengage
17:45because you got put in danger. And then
17:46you just go back to step one again,
17:48right?
17:49And the reason why these like these
17:50stages work very well
17:52is because during the poking phase,
17:54either you're just holding your
17:56resources cuz you because you don't want
17:57to get aggressive because if you do,
17:59you'll die. Or you finished a previous
18:02loop of these three stages and you've
18:03already used your resources. And now
18:05like if you if you play aggressive, well
18:07then I mean, you can't cuz you're going
18:08to die, right? So, that's why these
18:10stages are are very good. So, here I go
18:12use overload on Anna because she's
18:13overextended and we can kill her very
18:15quickly, right?
18:17And now I'm I'm going to go forward and
18:18I'm and I'm going to go poke. You know,
18:19sometimes people are going to walk into
18:21you, right? And you're going to get free
18:23kills. I place turret on on kind of a
18:25flank angle. I'm hiding away from the
18:27turret cuz I don't cuz I don't want to
18:29die to it. And then when and then blah
18:30blah blah blah blah. And then when the
18:32tire is gone, this is when I can kind of
18:34uh peek out. Here, this is like one of
18:36the only times in the game I use my
18:38hammer to repair my turret.
18:41And now we're just kind of chilling,
18:42right? We're poking. I don't I don't
18:43want to go do anything too crazy cuz
18:44like one, I don't know where people are.
18:46So, it's like, you know, if I run around
18:48the map, I might troll. And two, it's
18:50like my team is already fighting people.
18:51It's like I'm just trying to figure out
18:52who they're fighting. And and and this
18:54is why the poking phase is uh important
18:56as well. Here, I see Junk. He's low. I
18:58try and use my overload to kill him.
19:01And I actually end up do killing him.
19:02Why? Cuz he cuz he overextends. Here, I
19:04use the turret to help me in the one V
19:06one because the Junk has to shoot two
19:08things. I will go back to that previous
19:09point, by the way. Don't Don't Don't
19:11worry. I'm not I'm not one of them
19:12YouTubers who starts a point and then
19:14they
19:14get distracted and then and then they
19:16forget about it. So, here I use my cool
19:17downs to win the one-v-one and now I'm
19:19playing passive. So, the reason why the
19:21poking phase is so helpful is because
19:23not only does it allow you to do damage
19:25and help the whole team go in, but it
19:26also helps you figure out, okay, what is
19:28the enemy doing? Where are the enemies?
19:30Cuz when you know where the enemies are,
19:32when the second stage begins, the you
19:34know, like the mid fight, you can
19:35actually go and create off angles on
19:36them because you know where they're
19:37playing. Here, I'm going to go on the
19:39left, right? All of my team is in the
19:41middle. All of the attention's being put
19:42over here. So, then I'm going to go on
19:44the left and I'm going to try and catch
19:46someone off guard. It's a little
19:47difficult cuz Torbjörn is impossible to
19:49[ __ ] aim with on these flyers. And
19:51And you notice I placed the tire on the
19:52off angle, right? It It's on a separate
19:54angle to me. Because now the Juno's
19:57going to have to deal with this by
19:58herself whilst we kill the rest of her
19:59team.
20:01And the timing is really good because
20:02look, the Juno can't peek out to heal
20:05her team without taking damage from the
20:07tire. So, it's either she peeks out and
20:09she heals the team who is actively
20:10fighting, or she looks away from her
20:12team mid fight when they need her
20:14healing and she goes to and she goes to
20:16look at the tire. But obviously, she
20:18chose to not heal her team and then they
20:20died.
20:21Now, because we have the fight cleaned
20:23up, we're just going to go forward and
20:25try and kill them.
20:26Again, creating an off angle. I don't
20:28like I don't you know, I could have
20:30barreled it down main for sure cuz we
20:31have a very big advantage cuz the Juno's
20:33low HP and Anna's low, but it is good
20:36practice to constantly create these
20:38angles, right?
20:41I tried to jump up there. You can't.
20:43So, now I'm in the poking phase. I'm
20:44poking. I'm poking. I'm shooting, right?
20:46I'm just waiting for the fight to kind
20:48of start. I'm just chilling. I'm not
20:49trying to overextend myself. You know,
20:51like this is what Torbjörn is is like is
20:52a pretty good at, but people overdo this
20:55part or they do it very wrong. Here, I
20:57get knifed. I get low. I'm going to use
20:58my overload to you know, disengage. And
21:01then mid fight, when we start to commit
21:03our resources, I'm going to place the
21:05tire on an on an off angle. And And this
21:07is why the anchor bolts turret is so
21:08good cuz it really lets you put this
21:10turret basically wherever you need it.
21:12And now, because people are committed in
21:14the fight, this turret is is going to be
21:16able to do free damage, and people have
21:18to choose between helping their team win
21:21the fight or shooting the turret. And
21:22you can see how this turret is just
21:23getting a lot of value, right? Pharah
21:25has to look at it. Genji has to look at
21:27it.
21:28And for me, I I used my ultimate to kind
21:31of just I kind of wasted it, to be
21:32honest, cuz like I didn't know where
21:34anyone where where anyone was. This was
21:36a pretty big downfall of like of this
21:38ult, but you can see mid-fight, I'm
21:40trying to spread it out as as best I
21:42can, you know, one there, one there, one
21:43there. Trying to fire it just as far as
21:45I can go. And like you can see how I'm
21:46placing it on like corners, right? You
21:49know, I'm placing it on this corner,
21:50placing it on like this corner, this
21:52corner, right? I didn't do a very good
21:53job of it, but that's like like that's
21:55kind of way that's kind of the way you
21:57want to use it.
22:00Here, I take the 1v1 on the Pharah, and
22:02I can do that because I had a because I
22:03have my overload. But I make a mistake.
22:06I put myself in in a position to where I
22:08can get shot at from two angles. I'm
22:10getting off-angled, right? But had I
22:12played the cover over here, I wouldn't
22:13have got shot at by those two supports,
22:15and I could have killed the Pharah.
22:17I I um have a video about this. It It's
22:19called like the one at a time rule.
22:20You'll You'll find it very easily,
22:21right? And this is why you only want to
22:23fight one person at a time by using the
22:25cover of the map to, you know, isolate
22:281v1s.
22:30So here, I'm just poking poking poking
22:31poking. You're going to hear me say this
22:33a lot. And now, when we kind of commit
22:35in the fight, I'm going to go on the
22:36side cut to catch someone off guard,
22:38right? You see how much I'm moving
22:39around the map?
22:40Cuz like this is going to let me do good
22:42damage to the ball. I can fire out my
22:43turret when I'm taking the 1v1, and this
22:45is going to help me kill the Pharah cuz
22:47like now the Pharah's on like a bit of a
22:48time a time limit, right? If she doesn't
22:51shoot this turret, she dies.
22:53And now, because I'm taking her
22:55attention away from the fight, she isn't
22:57she isn't able to kill my team, which is
22:59good.
23:00I see I see Genji up here. I'm trying
23:01I'm I'm trying to kill her. I was having
23:03a really hard time killing this Juno for
23:04sure.
23:05Oh, wait. Junkrat was doing the thing,
23:07bro. I uh I made a short about this
23:09flank
23:10um a couple of days ago. Like Like at
23:12this. You can jump over here, run over,
23:15and then get over here. You can also do
23:16it from this side of the map as well.
23:17You can like be here, jump up, and get
23:20in the enemy backline. And as Junk,
23:21that's pretty helpful cuz it's kind of
23:23hard to get through these uh free angles
23:26here. But anyway, back to the the the
23:27scheduled video.
23:30I died to the Junk cuz I didn't realize
23:31he was kind of behind me. And like look
23:33at this turret, right? It's on a crazy
23:35ass off angle. Running it.
23:37All right. We're going to skip ahead a
23:38bit cuz cuz uh I I do remember this bit
23:40being kind of boring, and we weren't
23:42able to capture the objective.
23:45So here, I'm just chilling. I'm not
23:47trying to overextend too much, but now
23:49I I wanted to go on a flank because I
23:51realized playing on the left side of the
23:52map wasn't working very well. So I
23:54wanted to change. Okay, let me try and
23:56go through this room to catch their
23:58backline here.
23:59And I was going to do that because the
24:01fight was about to start, I knew. But
24:03when the Queen used alt, I turned back.
24:05Why
24:06Oh, Kai, why did you turn back? Because
24:08when people commit their resources super
24:11early, there's no point going on the
24:13flank because by the time I get over
24:14here, my team's going to die anyway. So
24:16I may as well shoot the Queen or shoot
24:18whoever is on my team first, force them
24:20out, and then go for the flank if we
24:23don't end up losing this fight. But
24:24obviously, when five people get anti's,
24:27you're going to end up losing the fight,
24:28and that's okay. But
24:30But like the thing for you, the way the
24:32way this impacts me, you know, like in
24:34this game, is that I'm not overextending
24:36on the flank. Now I can just go back to
24:37poking, and I can reset very quickly,
24:40and I'm not like in a weird position
24:41behind them where I can get isolated and
24:43killed.
24:44Right? You know You know they used nano,
24:46they used uh Queen alt, they used Juno
24:48alt. That's okay. They're going to win
24:49the fight, right?
24:50So now, we're going to get back to
24:51poking poking poking poking. I'm going
24:53to put the turret on an on an angle here
24:55because this is This is going to stop
24:57the ball from having an easy time
24:59killing my team. And now, I'm going to
25:01go for the flank, right? And you'll
25:02notice I make contact right as my team
25:06is making contact with the enemy team,
25:08right? As soon as people start to commit
25:10their resources and their cool downs,
25:12I'm in stage two. I'm going to pop from
25:13my angle and I'm and I'm going to use my
25:16my gun to catch the honor of guard. You
25:18see you see how she's not paying
25:19attention? Cuz there's people in the
25:21fight. She you know you know she's
25:22aiming. She's just used a cool down. And
25:24then suddenly, what the hell is a top?
25:25I'm dead, right?
25:27And now I can keep going on this angle
25:30cuz cuz no one's looking at me yet. But
25:32unfortunately, when you're playing
25:33against flying heroes, it's really hard
25:35to hit them. And then I make I make the
25:37mistake. This is the mistake I was
25:38talking about in the practice range. I
25:40wanted to use my ultimate to give me
25:42more over health. Now, I would now I
25:44will be frank.
25:45This this was not a good idea. I should
25:47have just stayed playing in this door
25:49and played the cover. I got a little bit
25:51overzealous. That's like that's the
25:52mistake I made. But you can see what I'm
25:54talking about with the overload. I'm I'm
25:56in overload right now. I've got the over
25:58health. And and because I got low, I
26:01wanted to pop my ultimate to trigger my
26:03overload again. But the problem with
26:05that is that it doesn't give you your
26:06health back unless you're out of
26:08overload. And and then I ended up dying.
26:10So, the actual mistake that I made there
26:13was just not using the cover over here,
26:15right? I should have stayed behind here,
26:17stayed behind here. I can try and shoot
26:19these guys and then when they shoot me,
26:20I can just use cover to hide. And I can
26:22even rotate through here, use my
26:24ultimate, or maybe shoot a little bit
26:25and rotate back. Oh, you know, like
26:26there
26:27there's a lot of different options that
26:28I could have had, but I just I got too
26:30greedy, right? So, here I place the tire
26:32on the you know, I I kind of place it in
26:35the back of the map because I know the
26:36ball's going to want to like go on my
26:37back line. And this is more of a game
26:39where if I can just stop the ball from
26:41being able to engage as like as easily,
26:43then like I'm okay with that, right? But
26:45me but me personally, I'm still I'm
26:47still going to be going for an off
26:48angle, right? You can see my team's just
26:50all down the middle cuz you know, these
26:52are 66 players who voted for this map.
26:54So, they're all So, they're all really
26:55bad. For me, I'm not I'm not really into
26:58that, right? You know, as soon as soon
26:59as possible, I'm going to go try and
27:01take an angle on the left.
27:03But, unfortunately, the Junkrat landed a
27:06pretty good flank with um
27:08What's it called? Like, I think he flew
27:10through the Yeah, yeah. He was He was
27:12like over here, yeah. He had a really
27:13good flank. I didn't even know he was
27:15over there.
27:16Right, you know, you know, he flanks,
27:17lands on our team, goes for the tire.
27:19It's unfortunate how it ends. I mean, I
27:20end up losing the fight because of that.
27:21You know, I try and contest it a little
27:23bit, but
27:24so lucky, right? I went 16 and 4 this
27:26game, pretty all this round. And I have
27:2810K damage. This is pretty good.
27:34But, now this round is where [ __ ] gets
27:36crazy, okay?
27:38So, I pre-placed my tire back here, I
27:40think. Yeah, I I I pre-placed my tire
27:43here because I know they have a wrecking
27:44ball. And every wrecking ball I've seen
27:46so far goes over this little mountain
27:48bit, right? Like, you're going to see
27:49him do it. You're going to see him do
27:51it.
27:52Okay, you don't you don't see him do it,
27:53but like, you know, it's
27:55on defense, it's a little you know, it's
27:56a bit more viable to kind of pre-place
27:58it. So, right now, I'm just going to
27:59poke. I'm going to shoot my gun. I'm
28:01going to rotate a bit. Try and catch
28:03someone off guard. You know, I catch
28:04Junk off guard. Someone else sees me,
28:06I'm just going to disengage. The biggest
28:07mistake people make when they take off
28:09angles is that they just get too greedy.
28:12Now, I'm backing up away from the
28:13enemies. Why? Because we are we are down
28:16a tank, which is pretty bad.
28:18And when you're down a tank, you can't
28:20hold as much space as you usually can.
28:22It also doesn't help that I've got two
28:24fat idiots who are just in spawn. So, we
28:25don't have as much pressure as as we
28:27would like. But, when you can't hold
28:29space, you're going to back up cuz the
28:31enemies are going to take the space. So,
28:32now I back up to a safe point, and I'm
28:34damaging. I'm shooting. I'm I'm doing
28:35damage, right? I pressure the queen. I
28:37force this guy to hide. I force the
28:39Genji to heal her. This is less
28:41resources being diverted to the ball,
28:42which means we're going to have an
28:43easier time forcing him out. And then,
28:46when I see the Sombra on this angle, I
28:47mean, I just got to push this guy,
28:49right? I mean, I've got I've got no
28:51you know, I've got no fears cuz I've got
28:52my overload, right? So, when the enemies
28:54are busy, which they clearly are,
28:56they're looking at my team, I'm I'm
28:58going to go take this angle.
29:00And I waste it by trying to shoot the
29:01Freya and the Juno, two people that that
29:03I that I explicitly had an extremely
29:06hard time trying to hit this game. But
29:07even so, when I shoot from the off
29:09angle, look, they have to turn. I get
29:12three people turning to me, which is now
29:14going to give my team the opportunity to
29:16do damage without taking a bunch of
29:18damage themselves. And like these guys
29:20chase me, you know, like the Sombra
29:21looks at me, the Freya's looking at me,
29:23but like I'm already long gone. By the
29:25time someone someone looks at me, I'm
29:27gone. Right? You know, like maybe I'll
29:28throw a turret out to kind of, you know,
29:30bait them in again or to just be
29:31annoying, right? You know, like I you
29:32know, I I I place this turret to kind of
29:35be annoying to the Freya and she has to
29:36spend time here. But me, I'm already
29:38back main. I'm shooting I'm shooting.
29:39But then when they see me main, I'm
29:41going to go back on the angle, right?
29:42You want to constantly change up your
29:44positioning.
29:45You peek main enough to do damage to to
29:47put on pressure, to make people have a
29:49mental screenshot in their head. Mental
29:51screenshot is like sort of a a term that
29:53I came up with where it's like
29:55Think about the Freya here, right?
29:57Like her mental screenshot of the fight
30:00is like, you know, if we go back a bit,
30:01like her her mental screenshot of of me,
30:04like like the last position I was in was
30:06main cuz she saw me here. So, like
30:08because a lot of people are kind of
30:10brain dead and [ __ ] right? They're
30:11not they're not very intelligent. So,
30:13they're going to just forget that that
30:15like there's other angles on the map and
30:17their spatial awareness is pretty poor.
30:19So, this is going to allow me to exploit
30:20that and then catch someone off guard,
30:22right? I'm able to shoot the Freya and
30:24then when they see me, okay, I'm going
30:25to just disengage. I'm not going to I'm
30:27not going to get greedy.
30:28And like whilst I'm whilst I'm
30:30disengaging, I'm still I'm still
30:32shooting. This is This is going to help,
30:34you know, this is going to help me land
30:35the head shot. And then for some reason
30:36the Queen is here. I don't know how she
30:38got in here. She just ran it down 1v5.
30:40But the only reason she she was able to
30:43run it down 1v5, or well, 2v5 I guess,
30:45is because I was distracting the rest of
30:47our team. If you know, if the fire was
30:49here shooting, maybe she would have
30:51gotten a lot more value. But, but
30:52because I'm on this off angle, I'm
30:53taking a lot of the aggro for her. And
30:55then when they do see me, I just
30:56disengage. And I'll pop my overload cuz
30:58I thought I was going to die.
31:02And now back to poking. Well, at least
31:03trying to poke, right?
31:05And then I got to take an angle. I place
31:06my turret here.
31:08It gets broken. That's okay, right? I'm
31:09not I'm not too concerned about that
31:10because, you know, by the time I get my
31:13turret back, you know what I mean? You
31:14know, the fight the fight's going to
31:15start anyway. Here, I place turret in
31:17the back line, and then I go for the
31:18angle, right? So, so sometimes you want
31:20to play in the back line, and then you
31:22want to put your turret on an off angle.
31:23Sometimes you can throw your turret in
31:25the back line to kind of just help them
31:27with the ball, and then you want to take
31:28the angle, right? It's like
31:30the whole thing with Torb is that you
31:31never want to be on the same angle as
31:33your turret. That's like not a thing
31:34that happens like ever. The more the
31:36more you'll do that, the less pressure
31:38you're outputting from separate angles.
31:39So, here, I go for main, and I go to the
31:41left. The queen looks at me, so I
31:43disengage. I don't get greedy. But then
31:45look, the queen is looking at me when
31:47she's in the middle of fighting my whole
31:48team, right? Like she's shooting, and
31:50then she looks at my team. So, the
31:52second she looks at me, that is going to
31:54give my queen the opportunity to go in
31:56and use her cool downs. And now that
31:58they've seen me here, that So, all
32:00right, let me kind of describe the turn
32:02of events. So, first of all, enemies
32:04look this way because they're fighting.
32:06I take angle, shoot them. Enemy looks at
32:08me. I run. Team goes in. They're looking
32:11at team again. I go take a deeper angle
32:14cuz they're using cool downs, right? I'm
32:15able to shoot ball. Not paying
32:17attention. Fire, not paying attention.
32:19But, because I've gotten an advantage
32:21now, I can use my overload to commit for
32:23the kill. Even if I'm not going to like,
32:25you know, hit like hit most of my shots.
32:27Again, I kind of make I kind of make the
32:28mistake of trying to use my ult for the
32:30over health, but
32:32I'm just placing it all over the place,
32:34right? The fire can't, you know, the
32:35fire can't push me. Was this ult very
32:38You know, probably not. I don't want to
32:39talk about it though.
32:41And this whole time by the way, if we
32:43just go back a little bit, this whole
32:44time my turret is getting value. How do
32:47you know your turret is getting value?
32:49Well, if you if you look at the icon on
32:51on the on the bottom, every time it's
32:54it's like it's like glowing yellow, it
32:56is shooting, right? All of all of the
32:58time that it's glowing yellow, it is
33:00actively like aiming and shooting
33:01someone. So, this whole time I'm just
33:03getting giga value, right? Like like you
33:05can actually see. This whole time I'm on
33:07this angle, I'm putting out pressure
33:09from a different position that I'm not
33:10even have like having to play in. That's
33:12why separating your angles is really
33:13important.
33:15Again, still still shooting, still
33:17shooting, still shooting. It's doing a
33:19[ __ ] ton of damage. Like that whole time
33:20shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting,
33:22shooting. And I'm and I'm on this
33:23separate angle also shooting shooting
33:25the queen, right? Torb is is a [ __ ]
33:28angle connoisseur. You should never just
33:30be sat down the middle like for like
33:32more than 20% of the game. You should
33:34always be trying to take angles, right?
33:38But now I'm going to fast forward a bit
33:39cuz I've been kind of yapping here. I'm
33:40just trying to shoot. I get low from the
33:42junior. I run away and now I go back to
33:44poking, right? Poking is going to force
33:45out their cool downs. It's going to make
33:47it harder for the Torb again.
33:51Here I play main and then I go on the
33:52left try and catch someone off guard.
33:55And and then when they see me, I use my
33:57overload to disengage, right? I'm not
33:59getting too greedy, right? Sure, you
34:01know, oh car but what if I miss all my
34:03shots? Okay, what if you do? I missed
34:05every single shot here. I didn't I
34:06didn't I didn't I didn't hit a single
34:07shot. But that's okay. Because me
34:10playing on this angle is pressure
34:12enough. I'm going to hit my shots
34:13eventually. So, that means people have
34:15to go chase me. And then when they chase
34:17me, well, I can just use my overload to
34:19disengage. And again, you can see here,
34:22as I'm disengaging, the enemies are
34:23going to want to chase me cuz they want
34:25to kill me. So, I'm going to put my
34:26turret down as like a bit of a defensive
34:29tool for me because now the fire wants
34:31to chase me, but she also has to deal
34:33with the turret and she can't really do
34:34both. Like she has her dashes. Like she
34:37probably could chase me, but now she has
34:39to deal with the turret. It's
34:40distracting her. It's annoying. And now
34:42and now I've gotten out scot-free and I
34:44can go back main and just keep shooting.
34:46But our team dies, so I'm going to back
34:48up.
34:49I end up dying to a tie here, so I don't
34:50want to you know, I don't want to
34:54I will spare you the details.
34:57I place turret on the right side because
34:58I want to play in main. Why do I want to
35:01play in main? Because I don't have my
35:02overload, but I still want my turret to
35:04do something, right? So you can see when
35:07I place it on this angle, it's going to
35:08end up getting a pretty good a pretty
35:10good amount of value, right? You know,
35:12you know, even though it's it's kind of
35:13far. Wait, why did they just break?
35:15Hello. Did I break it?
35:17My chopper?
35:19I must have broken myself. That would
35:20have been a really good turret. I don't
35:22know why I broke that. Oh, well.
35:24So yeah.
35:25We we're getting pushed back, so I have
35:27to disengage. I'm going to use my
35:28overload to kind of get out. And And
35:30that's how you can end up surviving
35:31while still outputting pressure. You
35:33hold overload until you need to use it
35:35defensively or aggressively. I knew I
35:38knew that giant crab was somewhere. I
35:39just I just didn't know where.
35:42So here I place turret on the off angle.
35:44This is going to help it do damage. I
35:45get booped in, so I'm going to use my
35:47overload to try and disengage, right?
35:49Because I'm in danger. And here I do the
35:52old trick correctly. When the queen
35:54pushes me because I because I have no
35:55overload, which is smart, I'm able to
35:57pop my ultimate and get a bunch of
35:59overhealth and then just [ __ ] live.
36:01Now did I actually get overhealth from
36:03that or like was it just that the queen
36:04hit me like as soon as I got the
36:06overhealth, so I lost it?
36:12Oh.
36:13I mean, I can't even tell.
36:16No, okay. The overload started like
36:18after the Okay, that's fine. But yeah,
36:20obviously right? I use I use the old
36:22just to kind of live and it and it works
36:24really well this way because the queen
36:26is already committed onto me, right?
36:28Like like like when she's using her
36:29shout, her carnage and stuff like that
36:31like like like she's trying to commit
36:32onto me. So, this is a good time to to
36:35to pop my out. And like look at the way
36:36I place it. I place two here, corner,
36:39placing it on the corner, putting it in
36:41the open space where I think they're
36:42going to go. And now, I'm chucking it
36:44around the map on certain corners where
36:46I think they're going to play, you know,
36:47I'm putting it on the stairs, I'm
36:48putting it over here. I'm spreading out
36:50so that the enemies have less angles to
36:52play on. And then, alongside the
36:55ultimate, I'm also going to go and
36:56create an angle, right? So, like instead
36:58of just playing main, okay, now I'm
37:00going to go take an angle. So, not only
37:01do they have to deal with my turret and
37:03my alt, but they also have to deal with
37:05me. And it's just too much pressure,
37:06they can't win.
37:07Right? So, Torb is really good at just
37:10setting up like a million different
37:11angles. I use overload aggressively here
37:13cuz I don't need it defensively. This is
37:15a set up turret because I know the
37:16ball's going to try and walk around the
37:17map and they have to go deal with this
37:19turret before they try and walk in. And
37:21this is and and this is going to allow
37:22our team to deal with the ball because
37:24the enemies are shooting the turret.
37:26I take an off angle cuz I've got
37:28overload, right? I don't mind taking
37:29these aggressive angles because I've got
37:31the ability to to kind of get out.
37:34We end up getting down one, but we use
37:36queen out and we use a
37:38No, they use EMP.
37:40I'm sure that so we use queen out, they
37:42use EMP. So, we're committing a lot of
37:44cool downs in in the fight, which means
37:46the enemies are are going to be looking
37:47at my team. So, I'm going to try and
37:48take an angle. But, I see Genji know and
37:50it's just kind of like game over, right?
37:52So, I'm just trying to go for a kill. I
37:53realize that that it's just GG.
37:55So, I'm just trying to go for kills. I
37:58see, you know, Pharah dies to the
37:59turret. Why does Why does Pharah die to
38:01the turret? I actually don't know.
38:03Where is the turret?
38:07Well, Pharah dies to the turret because
38:08the turret is on an off angle, right?
38:11And she wasn't vantage into it and she
38:12dies. Awesome. So, like turret can can
38:14get you a pretty good amount of free
38:15kills. Now, this last point is where
38:17things get crazy, okay?
38:20So, we're about to poking, we're
38:21shooting. Why do we you know, like stage
38:23one, why do we want to poke to force our
38:25enemy cooldowns to help our team
38:26actually engage? Because then that leads
38:28us onto step two. Or stage two. After
38:32our team has engaged, we can go create
38:33an off angle because the enemies are
38:35going to be busy. So, I'm moving on to
38:36stage two right now. But I mean there's
38:39not really a fight going on. I'm just
38:40kind of creating an angle for the sake
38:41of it. But then from here, I can
38:43disengage anytime I need to, right?
38:45We're poking, we're poking. I see ball
38:47committing with a slam. So, I'm going to
38:49use my um ultimate to spread out some
38:53lava to make it hard for his team to
38:55walk in, right? So, here I'm really
38:56spreading out the old, right? I'm
38:58placing some over here, placing some
39:00here, placing some on the door, placing
39:02some on the corner. I'm greatly limiting
39:04the amount of angles these guys can
39:05take. And like I'm I'm I'm specifically
39:07using it cuz I know it can be a bit
39:09vague. I'm specifically using it on
39:11corners that I know the enemies want to
39:13peek. I know they're going to want to
39:14peek here, so I place down the lava. I'm
39:17I and I'm placing it on on kind of
39:18there, you know, the roots where they
39:20want to walk around, right? I tried to
39:21do my best over here, but you know, you
39:23can't you can't have everything here.
39:25Taking taking off I'm taking an off
39:27angle, right? And then I use my overload
39:29to disengage and get away. And then when
39:31I'm low, I'm going to go get healed. I
39:33placed the turret here cuz I thought I
39:34was going to die to the turret, so I
39:35might as well. And now I'm going back to
39:37poking. And then once the enemies are
39:39once again busy with my team, that's
39:42when I'm going to go on the left. Like
39:43guys, I'm I'm [ __ ] I'm I'm imploring
39:45you. Take this advice. If there's
39:47something you take from this video, and
39:48it isn't even like the Torbjörn specific
39:51advice, it's just you need to take off
39:54angles when people aren't paying
39:55attention. You need to, right? And then
39:57you might be like, "Oh, well, Kai, what
39:58if things go bad and I get put in
40:00danger?" Pre- pressure buttons and live.
40:03Like what like what like what are you
40:05talking about? Take angles. You're going
40:07to get infinitely more value by taking
40:09this 1 v 1 or like you know, not taking
40:11it, but you know, making Junk look at
40:12you ins- instead of just letting him
40:14spam your team. Because now that the
40:15Junk's looking at me, the Soldier's
40:17going to be thinking about me, and these
40:18two guys aren't doing anything. So now
40:19my team can go forward for free and get
40:22a bunch of eight.
40:25And then like you might be like well
40:26Kyle, what if what if my team don't
40:28capitalize on my distraction? Well first
40:30off, that's not like the main point. And
40:32second off, okay, who cares if they
40:33don't? But the main point of an off
40:35angle is so that you can capitalize all
40:38like off of the distraction. Imagine
40:40there's like levels of like value you
40:41can get, right? Like level one is like
40:43you poking men and like doing some
40:45damage. Like cool, it's it's nice, it
40:46helps, but it's not like that good.
40:47You're not you're not you're not really
40:49getting kill potential here. I I placed
40:51down the tire cuz the enemy's committing
40:52the fight. The second level of value is
40:55like okay, you like you take an off
40:57angle, but then the enemy's focus you
40:58and your team can kind of shoot them.
41:00Yeah, that's pretty good cuz now your
41:01team is shooting the enemies as they're
41:02distracted, but it's but it's not like
41:04the best. The best level of value and
41:06the most consistent level of value is
41:08you creating the off angles and shooting
41:10the enemies when they're not paying
41:11attention. Anyway, back to the video.
41:14Or the game. So here, I placed down the
41:16tire on the soldier on because I know
41:17she's looking at my team. Why? Cuz they
41:20got EMP'd. Whoa. So the tire on the off
41:23angle is going to shoot the soldier. And
41:25you see, when the soldier chooses to
41:26shoot me and not my tire, well the
41:28tire's going to shoot her for free cuz
41:30because the tire can't miss. And then
41:32when she looks at the tire, I can shoot
41:34the soldier. So you want to off angle
41:36off of your tire as well, right? And now
41:39because I know that she's vulnerable and
41:40that she has no slide. How do I know she
41:42has no slide? Cuz I watched her use it
41:44in my face. I watched her, you know? So
41:45now that I know she's got no slide, I
41:47can push her with my overload as the
41:50tire is doing damage, and I can [ __ ]
41:53annihilate her. Right? So like this is
41:55like where you would want to use
41:56overload aggressively, and now I'm on
41:58the flank, and now I can just go shoot
42:00people, right? And and I'm and and I'm
42:02in a position where I kind of have to go
42:04touch, otherwise we're going to lose. So
42:06I kind of do just walk on, and I do my
42:08best. Um I haven't talked about his guns
42:10cuz it's like pretty obvious. Use Use
42:13the long shot when you are at mid to
42:16long range. Use the shotgun when you're
42:18close range. This shouldn't really be
42:20too difficult to
42:21understand here. So, I try and place the
42:23turret on an off angle. I wanted to
42:24place it up here cuz it's got a long
42:26view of the point and it's on a separate
42:28angle, but I get booped but like the
42:30turret's fine anyway, right? Because
42:32obviously, you know, it's going to shoot
42:33people.
42:34By the way, a quick tip with the turret
42:37is that let's say um
42:39if it's got multiple people in its line
42:41of sight, right? It's going to choose
42:43the closest person. But,
42:46if you want it to shoot a specific
42:48person, you have to do damage to them,
42:50right? So, so let's say, right? The uh
42:52the turret is is is shooting Ball right
42:54now, right? Let's just say that, right?
42:56The turret is shooting Ball. And it's
42:58going to keep shooting Ball until he
42:59dies or until he takes cover and then
43:01it's going to go shoot the next person.
43:03But if I want the turret to shoot a
43:05specific person right now, I would need
43:07to shoot the Juno and obviously, the
43:09Juno is way more killable and if you and
43:11your turret both shoot her, you're going
43:12to kill her very quickly. So, I So, so I
43:14want to try and stop shooting Ball and I
43:16want to go for the Juno. Now, of course,
43:18in this situation, the Juno is the only
43:20person in the turret's line of sight, so
43:21it's going to shoot her, but it's just a
43:23very important tip to understand. If you
43:25want to kill people very quickly, you
43:26must shoot the people that you want the
43:28turret to shoot.
43:30So now, I'm chilling behind cover cuz I
43:32have no overload.
43:34And I And And I'm just breaking the
43:35mines. You You do break your the uh the
43:37mines with a one shot.
43:39So, it's So, it's pretty good. So, here
43:41I'm setting up a defensive turret. I
43:43chucked it into the mine cuz I'm a
43:44[ __ ] idiot. And now, look at where
43:46the enemies are looking, right? Now that
43:48they're busy with my team, I can create
43:50this angle and catch the Sojourn off
43:52guard. Because I catch the Sojourn off
43:53guard, I'm able to land one shot very
43:56easily for free and because I land that
43:58shot, my teammate get gets the kill.
44:00This is This is the peak of value in
44:02Overwatch right here. Taking an angle on
44:04someone when they're not not attention
44:05and shooting them in the back of the
44:07head.
44:08And then here, I can use my overload to
44:09kind of push forward because we have a
44:11very big advantage and I want to
44:12capitalize on that, right? If worse came
44:14to worst, I would go behind the cover, I
44:16would create distance, and go behind the
44:17cover here. Like, I'm not really in in
44:19danger here. Even though the Queen pops
44:21shell, I'm literally not in danger at
44:22all.
44:24So, I want to replace my turret because
44:26if anyone tries to touch, just like this
44:27junk rat, the turret's going to be full
44:29health and it's going to be very
44:30valuable. I don't know why we popped
44:31coalescence here. That was That was the
44:33worst call I've I've I've I've ever
44:34seen, but average support player, right?
44:36Now, I'm kind of on this angle, and as
44:38the enemies go and push forward, that's
44:40when I'm going to go really aggressive
44:41on this angle. I'm going really
44:43aggressively for two reasons. Well, for
44:45one reason. I have my ultimate, which
44:47means I can use my overload to actually
44:49go in because I know I'm going to have
44:51another one, right?
44:53Or Or at least I can I can reset my
44:55overload, right? So, when I see them go
44:57in,
44:58that's when I'm going to pop my ult, and
44:59then, you know, I I'm I'm I'm I'm trying
45:01to spread it out as far as I can. I'm
45:03not really on the best angle possible,
45:05to be honest, so this wasn't This
45:07actually wasn't a very good ult, but I
45:08want to go back to the point and spread
45:09my lava over it, and like you can see,
45:11I'm I'm specifically aiming at like
45:14different corners, right? I kind of
45:15spammed it over here, you know, I placed
45:17one over here, placed one in the door
45:18frame, prevent them from going to
45:19multiple angles, and then I place one on
45:22on this door frame, I place it around
45:23the payload, and then you can see, I'm
45:25being specific with like, okay, one
45:27there to block off this angle, one there
45:29to block off this angle, one there to
45:30block off this angle. And now the only
45:32angle they can play on is just down
45:34main. And then when they have to play
45:35down main, well, then they're going to
45:36get [ __ ] on, right? And And they're just
45:38going to die. That's what pulse bomb is
45:39really good for. I also place the turret
45:41on the off angle when the enemies are
45:43super busy. This is This is also going
45:45to prevent them from playing in this
45:46room very easily because now the
45:48turret's going to be in here just
45:49spamming them, being annoying, doing
45:51damage. You know, it shoots the Sombra,
45:53it shoots Sojourn, and then Queen has to
45:55go in here and shoot the turret because
45:56these two are [ __ ] idiots and they
45:58don't shoot it. All of this is just area
46:00denial and time wasting for them to not
46:02be able to touch the point in time. But
46:04they do.
46:05And then obviously I'm still playing on
46:07this off angle, right? To just keep
46:08shooting them. Torb gets so much [ __ ]
46:10value. It's insane. And by the way, I'm
46:1134 and 6, 20k damage in a 16-minute
46:14game. So like I I know my [ __ ] okay?
46:17Now the enemies are still looking out
46:19you know at my team. So I can go very
46:21aggressive with my overload, especially
46:23cuz my Malga just pinned in. They're all
46:25going to be focused on the front line
46:26and now I can come in, shoot them from
46:28the side. Boom boom. I miss all of my
46:30shots. Kai, what if I miss all of my
46:32shots? What if I miss all of my shots? I
46:34miss all of my [ __ ] shots. It's okay.
46:36If you play in the correct positions and
46:37you catch them off guard, you're going
46:39to get value. Here I place I place
46:41another turret on the off angle. I'm not
46:43placing it on the point. I'm placing it
46:45on the off angle. Why like why is it an
46:47off angle? Cuz the enemies are looking
46:48at the point. They're busy trying to
46:49capture the point. So if you place this
46:51[ __ ] where they're not looking at, well
46:53then you're going to get easy kills.
46:55And now turret's going to be sat in the
46:56back shooting them for free. You know,
46:58do you know you know do you know how
46:59she's focused the turret, which means
47:01she's not looking at my team. And now I
47:03can just shoot this junk. He walks in
47:04front of me like a fat ugly child.
47:07And then I go I go to shoot the Juno,
47:09but it's really hard to hit this hero.
47:11There we go. She's dead. I use my
47:12overload to to give me the attack speed.
47:14And now I'm just shooting wrecking ball.
47:16I'm going to place the turret again in a
47:18position where we're kind of on this
47:20side of the payload. The turret's going
47:22to shoot him from behind and it's just
47:23going to be really annoying. Cuz now
47:24he's just going to get beamed out.
47:27Now this is this is one mistake that
47:29that I made.
47:31Instead of
47:32but like like not shooting the wrecking
47:34ball,
47:35I should have kept looking at the
47:36wrecking ball cuz then the turret would
47:38have kept shooting him and he's already
47:40used his shield. So now that he's used
47:41his shield, he's actually pretty
47:43killable and he can die very quickly.
47:45But I shoot the Doom Witch makes the
47:47turret look away from him and then you
47:48know he he almost left.
47:51Yeah, I see Tracer. She pushes me. I get
47:53put in danger. I'm going to I'm just
47:55going to use my overload. That you know
47:56that's okay. Doing a bunch of damage.
47:58I'm shooting them. I kill Doom.
48:01Well, I tried to anyway. I kill him.
48:02Obviously using my shotgun at this close
48:05range. I I place the turret very quickly
48:07on on the off angle because now this is
48:09this is going to shoot Tracer and Junk
48:12from behind. The Junk sees me, so I
48:14quickly go behind cover, of course. I'm
48:17still using the fundamentals of the
48:18game. I hide behind cover and that
48:20helped me dodge the Junkrat and then I
48:22get healed a little bit and then when
48:24I've got my resources back at the same
48:26time as well, they're shooting the
48:27turret. I get I get my resources back. I
48:29repeat and now I've got overload to go
48:32aggressive on like on this guy and I can
48:34kill him for free.
48:36But but I go for the Juno cuz she's more
48:38killable, right? W target priority for
48:39me and then we can end up just cleaning
48:41up the Junkrat. I can use my on the
48:43point and we end up winning the game.
48:45Crazy ass [ __ ] clutch. That is how
48:47you play Torbjörn, right? Essentially,
48:49poke main, you should do that. You know,
48:51play you know, play good distance so
48:52that it's pretty easy to hit shots, but
48:54when that fight starts, turret on the
48:56off angle. You're you're on the off
48:57angle. Overload to disengage. Ultimate
48:59the corners, right? Just create a ton of
49:02[ __ ] angles. Deny, deny, deny. That's
49:04basically Torbjörn's whole job. You be
49:06really aggressive cuz you do a lot of
49:08damage, but then you can also deny a
49:09bunch of [ __ ] angles.
