Move to just out of the turret's LOS and fire at the ground next to the turret. A bonus to either strategy is you'll also likely damage (and eventually kill) the accompanying Torb, resulting in quicker death of the turret. | |

You can just fire a rocket and then hide while the next one is getting ready. Depending on which way the turret is facing, it might not even hit you by the time you're back in cover. | |

But funny enough, while solo queuing last night my team just randomly selected all Torbjorn, except 1 person, and we won. Except we were on offense, and it still worked... | |

It's extremely hard to find this kind of composition against full 6-player groups, I guess people like to play decently this way. About peeking, even doing that is hard because if you try, there's another sentry firing at you, or torb himself. | |

That still leaves peaking the doorway as a viable option, as you can generally output more damage doing that than the turret can while you're peaking. The problem too is how coordinated your team is. If there's no coordination, taking out 5-6 turrets is going to be much more difficult. | |
