'Overwatch' Players Have Concerns Over NSFW Character Noises

Overwatch's "I'm not a dwarf" Torbjorn recently underwent some major changes during Blizzard's most recent patch, but it seems like some of the differences sound less like dying a horrible death and more like making babies.

In the video above, courtesy of YouTube channel 'CryBox7 Overwatch,' shows off what some of the heroes sound like when getting blasted with Torbz new Ultimate. Since the attack itself involves molten lava pretty much at the hero's face, some are wondering why it sounds like they're not having that bad of a time after all.

Take a listen in the video above and listen for yourself. If you're at work, put on headphones. You'll thank us later.

We're not sure if Blizzard is aware of this unintentional (or maybe it was intentional, we're trying not to judge) sound reception, but they haven't mentioned anything as of yet. What they have mentioned is his recent changes, which the dev team describes as:

"Torbjörn was initially designed to be a specialized hero, intended to be a strong defensive option due to his armor-generating capabilities and ability to control areas with his turret. However, the scrap collecting and Armor Pack mechanics have proven to cause problematic gameplay issues through their feast or famine nature. In order to make the hero more flexible in a wide variety of situations, we've removed the scrap system, made the turret much easier to deploy, replaced the Armor Pack ability with Overload—a powerful self-buff—and transformed Molten Core into a powerful new area denial ultimate ability."

For a full outline of his rework, check out the official patch notes below:
