Overwatch is one of the most famous video games currently in the community of players with a little over a year, competing directly against video games such as League Of Legends in countries like South Korea, where there are more active players and becoming the most played from that country.

Its game mechanic consists of six people per team, where we choose a hero with unique movements and abilities. The main objective is to work as a team either to attack or defend points, target escort, control and competitive mode. Recently they added new game modes like team combat.

Each hero has a specific role and are: Offensive, Defensive, Tank and Support with various maps and game modes. That make Overwatch one of the most beloved games in the community of players. And for me one of my favorites.

According to official figures on the same page of Overwatch exceeds 30 million players.

At its peak, Overwatch has one of the most advanced weapons on the planet, whose origin was the workshop of an ingenious engineer named Torbjörn Lindholm.

Prior to the Omnica Crisis, Torbjörn had gained fame for designing weapons systems used by countries around the world. However, his belief that technology should be at the service of a better vision for humanity confronted him with his employers, who wished to control their weapons with computer intelligence in a network.

Torbjörn had a deep distrust in conscious robotic intelligence, and while many of his colleagues considered him paranoid, his greatest fears became reality when the robot populations of the world turned against their human creators during the Omnidic Crisis. Due to his genius in engineering, he was recruited to join the original Overwatch assault team and many of his inventions turned out to be fundamental to ending the crisis. In the following years, Overwatch became a force to maintain peace and Torbjörn remained a crucial resource for all its technological needs and characteristic weapon systems.

But after the fall of Overwatch, many of Torbjörn's weapons were stolen or guarded all over the world. Torbjörn feels responsible for his creations and is determined to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and unleash chaos against the defenseless.

The skill of Torbjörn are really good and simple to use, an easy and powerful engineer to use, a great example is his passive skill that consists of collecting scrap from the fallen heroes to turn it into armor for him and his allies. Although its turret is automatic being its main source of damage, the shots of its riveter also provide a great deal of damage, it is a defensive hero that contributes a lot to help the team.

Torbjörn's weapon is a riveter with two shooting modes, with the left click firing 1 projectile every 1.6 seconds for long range with a damage of 70 life points, with the right click it shoots a rivet explosion throwing 10 pellets per shot with much less damage but a wider range essential for short-range firing. With a capacity of 18 shots and a recharge of 2 seconds.

The first skill of Torbjörn is to use the hammer to build, update and repair his torrera, although it can also be used as a melee weapon doing a damage of 55 points of life. This skill does not have reuse.

The second and main skill since all the damage of Torbjörn is constituted by his turret, This hero can build an automatic cannon turret that tracks the enemies, however, he must use his hammer to repair or update, increasing his health and adding a second cannon. When the turret is updated it has a health base of 300 health points and a damage of 14 points of life per cannon firing 4 rounds per second, the duration of the turret is until destroyed or until Torbjörn creates another turret and reuse 8 seconds

The third skill of Torbjörn is defensive contributing much to the team since, by means of its passive, it can send armor that he or his allies can collect to increase his armor in 75 points, the use of the armor costs 50 points of scrap. This skill does not have reuse.

Torbjörn's special ability is to overheat his personal forge by increasing his health by 300 extra points and his rate of fire by 50%, also upgrades his turret giving 800 points of life and increasing the damage of the weapon all for 12 seconds.

Many Overwatch players start with Torbjörn since he is considered a very easy to use hero, since his main source of damage is in the turret, he should only worry about updating it and repairing it. Another point in Torbjörn's favor is picking up scrap by means of his passive and throwing armor across the battlefield so that the allies take advantage of the extra armor.

Defensively I love Torbjörn since placing the turret in a position where it is difficult to access to destroy and complicate the enemy in many cases the enemies concentrate on destroying the turret and forget that Torbjörn alone causes considerable damage with its two modes of shot for either short or long range. The essential thing of Torbjörn is to keep the torrera full of life because every time it is destroyed it must create another one and update it.

The special ability of Torbjörn I love since they boost it to a level of becoming indestructible if it has help from a healer, also with its active special ability can eliminate several enemies in a matter of seconds something truly impressive.

It is advisable to combine Torbjörn with heroes who provide support or protection, a perfect combination of damage is with Bastion since between the 2 can eliminate enemies with great ease, there is also the option of Orisa and Reinhardt that with their shields provide protection to your turret and prolong your life is also the option of Symmetra as a companion which can also place turrets on the surface. In addition, it is important to know the memory maps to find the best places for your turret.

• Create and update your turret that occasion automatic damage to enemies.
• Create pieces of armor for him and his companions.
• A hero for short and long range.
• His special ability significantly increases his life, his rate of fire and above all updates his turret automatically giving him more life and damage.
• Fort against heroes like; Genji, McCree, Roadhog, Symmetra and Zenyatta.

• Its turret without being updated has very little life and a low damage.
• Your turret is usually targeted by enemies, so it must be repaired a lot and in some cases it is destroyed before.
• Your passive scrap search skill has a limit of 200 scrap which fills up very fast.
• The main weakness of Torbjörn are the enemies with shields and snipers.
• Weak against heroes like; Lucio, Reinhardt, Widowmaker and Zarya.

• Due to its complex Swedish name, it is often mispronounced. The pronunciation must be said as "Tor-b-yearned for".
• To little surprise, Torbjörn has the title as the shortest character in Overwatch in 4'7 ".
• There is also the possibility that Torbjörn says "Ahoy, Mateys!" when the Hello command is used.
• Sometimes, Torbjörn will refer to his tower as his "baby" when it is destroyed. This reinforces his passion for weapons and technological design.
• The achievement "Raid Wipe" is a reference to World-Warcraft Raid-Instance of the same name and the term for a group of players trying to beat it ("Raid Party") being completely annihilated ("deleted").
• Torbjörn shares many similarities with the dwarven race of the Warcraft franchise.
• Torbjörn's cast core ability can be a reference to the name of a World of Warcraft band instance called The Molten Core.
• The skin of Torbjörn Barbarossa is translated as "red beard" in Italian.
• The strange character designs of Torbjörn are written in Swedish, translating separately to blue, lemon, green and plum.
• Several of Torbjörn's voice lines are old Swedish proverbs translated directly into English.
• Torbjörn's surname, Lindholm, is probably a reference to Lindholmen, a prominent engineering district in Gothenburg, Sweden.
• Torbjörn voice line: End date? When this is done. It could be a reference to the way Blizzard does not rush the development of their games.
• Torbjörn has an aerosol that shows how the tower is built by referring to IKEA (from Sweden) that requires you to assemble yourself and the Team Fortress 2 sentinel operation manual.
• Torbjörn is also remarkably similar to the Team Fortress 2 Engineer: both are the shortest of all the playable characters in their games; both have a single barrel tracking turret that can be upgraded to launch a double barrel turret and a level 3 upgrade; both update them in a similar way; and both lost an arm.
• Its Viking skin is a reference of the Vikings, a pirate and merchant people who inhabited Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland during the first millennium until the second millennium.
• The skin seems intentionally more caricatured than the real Vikings, probably due to its nature as a Halloween costume.
• In Scandinavia and Iceland, Viking helmets with horns are traditionally used for less serious depictions of Vikings, while realistic helmets are for more realistic depictions.
• His hammer in this skin seems to be designed after Mjölner (Mjølner, Mjólnir), the hammer used by Tor thunder Tor, since it was the only weapon that would not break in his hands.

To finish, I love that they gave him a dwarf look like World Of Warcraft for lovers of that game we love to see similarities with others, but always putting a special touch, the simplest of Torbjörn is to keep the turret alive and provide armor to his companions. For those who start in Overwatch it is an easy to use character so they do not get stressed while learning to use other heroes. I hope you liked my review on Torbjörn!
