Overwatch: 9 Jerk Moves You Need To Stop Doing

5. Insta-Locking Torbjorn On Defence

Sometimes, even jerks just want an easy life.

Being truly creative with their anti-fun crusade takes a lot of brainwork they'd rather spend on inventive ancestry-based insults with which to pepper their fellow players. At times like those, the simplicity of picking a completely inappropriate hero for the situation is enough to get that sweet, sweet Overwatch jerk fix.

Instantly choosing Torbjorn, the amply bearded Swedish engineer, while your team is gearing up for Attack is a classic move to make your teammates help you. As a defensive powerhouse, Torbjorn is less than suited for playing on Attack, especially when the battle follows a moving payload.

To complete the effect, refuse to change character or even talk on team chat, ignoring their pleas to select a hero who can actually help them capture an objective. 'Such potential!' purrs Torbjorn as he constructs yet another turret far behind the battleline, his voice drowning out the howls of anguish from his teammates who are dying on the point.
