Developer Comment: We'd like to make the turret more effective without increasing its damage. It now builds more quickly to better enable repositioning it for a faster pace of gameplay. We've also fixed a grievous oversight from moving to larger health pools and Torbjörn's Forge Hammer will strike fear into his enemies once again.

Developer Comment: Torbjörn's Turret has a bit too much impact for little investment, so we are shifting some of its power to the rest of his kit to reward more accurate gunplay. Overload now partially reloads ammo, which guarantees that there is no downtime between activating the ability and shooting projectiles.
Rivet Gun
- Secondary Fire spread reduced from 5 to 4.5 degrees.
Deploy Turret

Developer Comment: With the move to 5v5 and one less player to shoot at it, Torbjorn's turret tends to survive longer than ever. We're reducing its health slightly to help it feel less like a sixth player and be easier to deal with once someone turns their attention to it.

Turret base health reduced from 250 to 225
