Look, Torvald has to be played the way he's supposed to be played. You're guna get your @ss kicked no matter what
sometimes. Maybe they have a a better team and you don't. Or they're just better than yours. Take it. I have beaten great player's w/ $hi* gear. This is all just conversation.

I don't know exactly what you have issue with but I'll try and clear it up since it honestly would probably be a very complicated ability to use in practice.

When you use it, you knock yourself backwards, making you move backwards through the air at an angle based on where it’s pointed. You can change the direction you face to change the direction you’re being knocked back (the opposite way you’re facing). It does a little damage and if you collide with somebody the ability stops and goes on cooldown. The hit enemy is stunned and dealt a little damage. You can cancel it by pressing F (or whatever button on console), though it will work with other abilities. So in other words, probably the hardest mobility to master in the game if it is ever implemented, but it’s very rewarding as it gives you access to a LOT of mobility for a tank… Plus you can attack people from the air.

@AYYDIMITRI said in Tank Checklist: How Torvald and Ruckus are Bad Tanks by Design:

Have seen old torvald pro games before the overhaul?

I have not. He wasn't picked at pro play back then. But he was popular at ranked. Since HiRez seems to want every champion to be played in the pro-scene that was maybe their reason to rework him.

@Supervlad007 Not necessarily if Thanks Grandpa also is nerfed. He has no way to protect himself from cauterize so somewhat more heal wont safe him probably. Other tanks have similar cards.

@Harlequin98

I kinda agree with that

In my old account, before I lost it, Torvald was my go to tank for maps like Frog Isle and Fish Market? (Don't be stupid enough to ask "WHY?")

Even in casuals he can solo tank.

Now, a solo tank Torvald is just ridiculous...
