Torbjorn in Overwatch 2 is a damage hero that can deal massive damage to his enemies. If your enemy team has Torbjorn’s choice, he can be tricky to deal with. However, there are a few heroes that Torbjorn is weak against. In this article, we will tell you which heroes are the best to pick to counter Torbjorn in Overwatch 2.
The best Torbjorn counters in Overwatch 2
Torbjorn is a close combat specialist. He can deal massive damage to enemies that are close to him, so it is recommended to fight him from a distance. That being said, these are the four best counters to defeat Torbjorn.
- farra
- Junkrat
- Echo
- widowmaker
farra
Pharah can fly in the air and deal damage from above. There Torbjorn is helpless against her. She can keep her distance and unleash a barrage of missiles to take down Torbjorn, making her the best counter.
Junkrat
Junkrat is a mid-range fighter with devastating abilities. He can use his grenades, mines, and tires against Torbjorn by holding him with steel traps. Since Torbjorn has low mobility, Junkrat can be a good choice to counter him and hold him back.
Echo
Echo’s ability to fly makes her a good opponent for Torbjorn. By staying out of his attack range, Echo can hit him with his sticky bombs, rendering him useless. She can also transform into Torbjorn himself and give your team the same advantage.
widowmaker
Widowmaker is a sniper hero capable of dealing high damage from a long distance. This makes it Torbjorn Kryptonite. Due to Torbjorn’s low mobility, Widowmaker can instantly kill him with a headshot.
Apart from these heroes, you can use other heroes that can fight at long range or make Torbjorn useless. One of his pesky abilities are turrets, so Sombra can also be a good choice to contain him.
