Have you try to restart your game ?

Look the description of his weapon...

Yes Torvald depends on his team because of his statistics, only 3300 Health and no longe-range damage. In addition, his talents suck.

It would be a waste to rework while he has original skills.

Currently Torvald is the worst Front-Line and one of the champions the least played.
The 2 main problems of Torvald are : He cannot take a lot of damage, and he is frustrating with Protection. In this thread I will suggest some change to make him more pleasant to play with and against.

[Statistics]

His current statistics are 3300 Health + 1800 Shield which are very weak , he is the Front-Line with the lowest Health, I will increase to 3700 Health + 2000 Shield.

[Gauntlet]

With the Gauntlet Torvald reach 720 DPS (180 every 0.25s), in comparison Khan reach 770 DPS (without talent), which is pretty good but totally spoiled by the damage fall-off. Indeed after 75 units his damage decrease, at 125 units he deal 100 damage. I suggest to balance his weapon, now the Gauntlet reach 660 DPS (165 every 0.25s) and after 100 units the damage fall-off begin.

[Protection]

The skill which is the most frustrating and was the only reason to play Torvald. To begin I will increase the cooldown from 8s to 12s to avoid to spam Protection and use it only when needed, when one your ally is low HP and not use it all the time when the cooldown is finished, otherwise at some point you won't be able to protect your ally. And also decrease the Health of the Shield from 2000 to 1600.

[Recharge]

This has a cooldown of 15s and give back Health to his Shield. First I will decrease the cooldown from 15s to 13s, then increase the amount of Shield from 2125 to 2350 and increase the max duration from 1s to 2s. And I would also like to add a new effect, which is you cannot take damage during Recharge (we can break his Shield) to give it survability.

This change on Recharge will also up some card, just like Eldritch Speed, Vital Grasp...

[Field Study]

This talent need to be rework, I suggest something like : Your Shield become an armor of 1000 HP (cannot be counter by an item) and can be refill by Recharge + Something.

With this talent Torvald can have the same HP as Inara.

[Direct Current]

The bonus damage need to be deal instantly after activation and restrain Resilience at 80% (0.5s).

[Thanks, Grandpa]

With the previous changes, I suggest something like : Protection duration increase of 1s but also increase of 600 the Health of the Shield and remove malus at the activation.

[Cards]

Conduction : Reduce the cooldown of Recharge by 0.5s --> 0.6s.

Eldritch Speed : Gain 8% --> 12% Movement Speed during Recharge.

12% may seem to much but its only during 2s every 13s.

Induction : OLD : Activating Recharge generates {1|1} ammo.
NEW : Activating Recharge generates {1|1} ammo per second.

Infusion : OLD : Activating Nullify heals you for {50|50}.
NEW : You receive {100|100}HP per second during Nullify.

Scribe's Wit : Reduce the Cooldown of Nullify by 1s --> 0.8s.

Vital Grasp : Recharge generates 5% --> 6% more shield.

Timeshaper : Reduce the cooldown of Protection by 0.5s --> 0.6s

I decide to increase this card because Protection become less interesting with the nerf on the Health of the Shield.

If for the next season cauterize is nerf, increase the duration of GhostWalk will be not a problem and increase the movement speed too, maybe 20% to 30% during GhostWalk.

For the Healing Totem if you reduce the cd, I think you need to reduce the duration of the Totem too 6s to 5s which is enought to heal a damage or flanc. And it would be good if the Totem stay on the ground when Grohk die.

For Shock Pulse reduce the cd to 3s is not possible because it may prevent the auto regen maybe 5s but not lower. Rework Maelstorm is not a bad idea because at the end of the game Grohk finish with a lot of damage but few kill only, which is a bit useless even if he have his ultimate faster.

The last Talent is bad, you just heal and never deal damage...
