Torch Mains, Do You Dive?

[RawwkinGrimmie64]

I get that Human Torch is still a new character, but my mindset is that if you're playing him in competitive matches, you're comfortable enough with his kit to use it effectivelyl.
So why is literally nobody diving with him? I play Strategist, and have not seen a Human Torch dive the backline ONCE! Thor and Captain America have done more backline interruption over the weekend. If I ever see a Human Torch, he's just flying in the air. And flies away after getting hit with a few Lightforce daggers. If an ally Human Torch is on critical health, he's pinging for heals at the literal map ceiling where healers can't reach.

I've practiced with Torch a few times, and playing the stagnant flier who's afraid to touch grass is BORING! He should be a flanker and a diver! Cook the backline and fire bomb the healers before speeding like a nuclear missile on their head and KOing them. If you need healing, either fly down lower than the literal ceiling or dive in front of your healers. I don't know how this isn't common sense to the people who autolock him in comp matches.

Am I the only one noticing this? Am I just getting people practicing in low elo Comp? Please tell me most people out there play the way I described how I would.

Diving is risky. Only dive to 90% confirmed kill 250-275 heroes, otherwise it's not worth the risk. You are way valuable to your team staying alive and spamming because HT gets the fastest ULT build up in the game.

That sounds...highly unintentional and just bad in general. I hope they make some changes so his dive ability is more useful. I mean, it's one of the hero challenges right now, and people aren't even utilizing the ability? That's how you know something's not right.

When you dive, the only way back is slowly floating upwards. I'd only do it to finish somebody off if they were the last one standing or sth. It seems highly punishable and highly committal.

His primary fire is a shotgun type blast, you’re supposed to go in
