I think this is actually a good thing.

Put down a level one turret, spend the rest of the time spamming armor on everyone and killing people with your gun.

The level 1 turret has 150 hp. It dies in less than a second. It's also a pretty obvious target and does poo poo damage.

Yes, but meanwhile your team lives longer and you still have a pretty strong gun. Plus it'll distract people for that second that they don't spend chasing your healer.

Oh, it's great for spamming on attack/defense, where there's more obvious front lines.
For Koth which is basically a brawl, not so much.

It's got ridiculously short range in order to actually do damage with it. It's great for taking out tanks coming after your sentry. It's much worse than the alternatives when you're fighting on the point, and people are actually focusing you.

Torb is perfectly fine on KOTH if your team has Lucio and wins the initial engagement. If you control the point torb can actually get his turret up to level 2 and will have tons of armour packs to throw around. You just have to realize that if you don't win that initial skirmish you will be way less effective so switch off him in that case.

I did get 75% as Junkrat but we really rolled the other team and won in like 1 minute so it doesn't really count. 9 eliminations all in all.

Yeah his M1 is almost as good as Hanzo. Same hitboxes, 5 less damage, you can spam it without having to draw the bow.

And granted, it's not like Torb is entirely worthless if you don't have a turret up.

Still, I'd probably choose Junkrat over him on KOTH most of the time.

Spam spam spam.

I usually lay the trap and mine together near their push points. If I'm defending the point I'm laying that poo poo to one side of me and firing to the other side until the trap triggers.

Other than that you fire nades non stop toward enemy rushes.

I think he's pretty good for almost every koth map, but I end playing tank on illios more often than not so I'm not sure how he is there.

the same way you would on the other maps. if you're defending, spam chokepoints leading to the capture zone and set traps. if you're attacking, spam the point because they'll be clustered there. if you're good with the pipes, taking 1v1s is pretty easy on the flank since you can get a direct and then finish people off with the mine

Blow up everybody all the time.

Shoot bombs through windows, blast yourself up and pretend you're Pharah, shoot Soldier directly in his stupid stupid facemask, put traps behind Mercy and blow her up too, put your mine on the wall and blow Roadhog off a cliff.

Then get your ult instagibbed by McCree, but it's okay, because now you know where he is an can blow him up too.

Just get good at Junkrat and never stop shooting exploding cricket balls while being vaguely offensive to actual Aussies.

Yeah true. I'm just holding this in my back pocket for later when I complain that Hanzo doesn't have enough payoff for getting those arrows where you need them to be, say compared to a sniper rifle that does more damage
