Pharah/McCree shut him down hardest, but most classes act as a soft-counter if they're not distracted and actually focus on leveraging their ranged damage against him (which results in the Reaper either being suppressed or killed.)
Also: no kill indicators? That's a critical tool!

Brag when you do that shit with Mei or Soldier 76 that'll be impressive.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you brag about using a character that is like the GOD of killstreaks.
The toss it on twitch/any broadcasting tool..
You have opened yourself criticism.
That's the way it is. That's life. I'd not be critical if he didn't post it online to get everyone to be all "YEAH BRO" but since I use that bastard as a main when it's time to pad the kdr I am not impressed and thus will say so.
That's the problem with social media. Everyone has to get a cookie.
Well there are assholes out there and I am one of them.
Skill-based matchmaking makes a lot of stats irrelevant.
- I'm usually in the top 10% of skill in FPSes (sometimes as high as Top 1%, in Planetside 2's case.)
- On a Battlefield or TF2 server, players of all skill levels exist and so because I'm higher in skill I'll go on big killing streaks.
- In Overwatch, I'm matched just with other Top 10% players. So it's REALLY unlikely I'll go on a crazy kill streak unless I happen to get matched as the high-skill player of the game (but the "low skill" players in that game are still probably Top 20% players at least, so they're nowhere near as bad as what I'd face in a typical FPS server.)
It's why everyone's W/L will average out to 50% in the long-run (and in the medium-run for the next 3-6 months all of the higher skill players -- who are winning more games than losing while they rise up to their proper ELO rating* -- will have slightly higher than 50% win rate.)(*or whatever equivalent they use.)
Since ELO-style matchmaking makes a lot of performance stats irrelevant it's a little disappointing that it's hidden, since my ELO rating is going to be the truest measure of my skill.

It was pure cancer, but it was also hilarious.
6 Thorbjorns is quite easy to crack up once you break down the initial defenses. When they have to run from spawn to payload they don't really have time to build turrets on point anymore. After that hiding around the payload and taking out turrets when in range is ez
A few players try to "main" classes, even though that's the wrong way to play. And of the players who do switch, most don't switch often enough or have a bad idea of what they should switch to in order to deal with their opponent.
All-Torbjorn shouldn't be all that difficult to counter. You even get to take the fully spread of people who limit his effectiveness (Widow+Widow+Mei+Rein+Mercy+Junkrat.) But obviously if you're outplayed you're outplayed.
Honestly just a second class makes things vastly harder to deal with. I faced a Rein + Bastion (x5) defense once and I could either break Rein's shield (as Bastion) or snipe vulnerable Bastions (as Widow/Hanzo), but not both. And since my teammates weren't pairing up to do the thing I couldn't do, we ended up losing the match. With an all-one-class team, one player can usually really strongly counter everyone and be very effective. With a second class type, things become much harder.

Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
I think it is sad.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
You'd also notice that at least in Aion he was a cheater. But that's a whole nother story.
