Blizzard has been paying close attention to feedback on Overwatch since its launch in order to prepare any balancing changes. However, given the different play styles between PC and console, sometimes changes need to be made on a platform by platform basis, which is why in July, Torbjorn will be getting some changes on the Xbox One and PS4 but not on PC.
The first balance patch for Overwatch addressed McCree and Widowmaker across all platforms but the next balance patch for consoles will reduce Torbjorn's turret damage by 30 percent. This was confirmed by the game's director, Jeff Kaplan.
In a Reddit thread pointing out how Torbjorn is negatively affecting the game on consoles, Kaplan stepped in to say that changes would be coming soon: “In an upcoming patch, we will reduce the damage done by Torbjörn's turret by 30% on Xbox One and PS4. PC will remain unchanged. ETA – Mid to late July depending on 1st party certification times.”
The main concern on Reddit appeared to be that there is less coordination and communication on the console version of Overwatch, meaning some matches boil down to multiple attempts to take down turrets as fast as possible and push before they rebuild. Hopefully the damage reduction will help change that.
KitGuru Says: Overwatch is quite a different experience on console and from the little I played on Xbox One, I noticed far less team coordination, which can make taking down turrets and making a meaningful push a bit trickier. Hopefully those on console will see some change after the next balance patch. Have any of you been playing Overwatch regularly? Are there any other heroes you think need some balancing?
I guess this confirms PC is better than Consoles for shooters 🙂
If Widowmaker got nerfed, then Hanzo should have been too.. his special goes through walls and almost certainly will kill anyone in the way.
widow maker’s auto attacks would do 150 damage, thats tracer or zenyatta’s entire hp bar

I think torbs should need to control his turret rather than the turret being automatically controlled because the range is op too the range needs to be shorter this will allow someone like reaper to actually get bhind enemy lines rather than the turret automatically knowing your there just my views on torbs
PC has WAY more cheats than consoles. Period there is no argument there! Consoles have a much less mature player base, no argument there. Console players for the most are self serving players, where PC/Mac players tend to be more cohesive players as a team. So yeah I would agree PC players are better in the sense they will play as a team more often than console players. I freely admit this even though I am a console player, or maybe its because I’m console player lol. Just ordered a nice octa-core, 16 gig, 1080gtx, vive coming this xmas. I’m done with consoles back to my starting grounds, and no more FPS reskinned 10 times COD/Battlefield. I’m off to flight sims and strategy games, enjoy your next reskinned Battlefield one. ewww they give old weapons and planes, I can fly those planes open world and not deal the cheaters see ya console suckers and FPS cheats. LOL I digress peace out world
I agree it out ranges everyone, but if it didn’t it would be to easy to take out and common what else does that dwarf got going for him
