Let’s be honest here, Squirrel Girl is one of the easiest-to-use heroes you can pick up in Marvel Rivals. Seriously, her splash damage range is just too much, and half of the time, she’s not even looking at you when you die; it’s just some nut bouncing off something and hitting you.
Overwatch 2 players love to say that not a single hero in the Blizzard hero shoot doesn’t require skills to use. However, that’s clearly not the case when you take a look at Torbjörn and his abilities, which allow gamers to stand in a corner and watch the entire match go down.
As one of the original cast of heroes that debuted in Overwatch, Torbjörn has been terrorizing enemy teams with his turrets for years now. While his turret might not be as powerful as it was when the game launched, it’s still annoying to go against in the sequel.
Oftentimes, we see Torbjörn mains say that their hero requires the most skill in the game due to the fact that he isn’t that mobile or doesn’t have great defensive capabilities. However, once you take a look at this video clip shared by a Redditor, you’ll realize that Torbjörn requires absolutely no skills.

Torbjörn mains only have one job in Overwatch 2, and that’s sitting in a corner and using their turret to automatically aim and deal damage. There’s no need to master your weapons like Ash or Soldier 76; all you need to do is sit back and relax for your turret to hunt down players.
If enemies are hunting down Torbjörn mains, all they need to do is use Overload and survive without any kind of effort. Seriously, Torbjörn’s kit provides the best value and requires no practice. He might not be as bad as Squirrel Girl, but he’s right up there.
It’s a known fact by this point that Marvel Rivals has shaken up the hero-shooter genre. The game launched with an unbelievable player count and reached another peak a few weeks later after the first season dropped. Somehow, it has also managed to retain that player base, unlike other live-service games.
However, Rivals‘ biggest competitor, Overwatch 2, has been having a horrendous time. Taking a look at the data from SteamDB, in the three months leading up to the launch of Rivals, Overwatch 2 had an average player count of 33,738.
However, in the seven weeks after Rivals hit the shelves, Overwatch 2‘s player count dipped to 20,565. That’s a 39% drop and should be ringing the alarm bells for Blizzard.
It’s quite clear that Rivals‘ launch has had a massive impact on Overwatch 2. However, the game’s recent downward spiral can’t just be blamed on its competitor. Blizzard revealed Overwatch 2 as a sequel, which would completely change the franchise from the ground up.
However, that didn’t happen, and things took a turn for the worse. Players despise the switch to 5v5, monetization plans, and the fact that Blizzard decided to cancel PvE, which was supposed to be the entire point of the sequel.
With numbers dropping, it’s going to be interesting to see how Blizzard manages to overcome this situation. Do you think there’s another hero in Overwatch 2 that requires even fewer skills than Torbjörn? Let us know in the comments below.
