Another PTR cycle, the same forgotten robot šŸ˜„

Who cares, he has the ability to carry when the whole team plays around him.

Meanwhile Sombraā€™s like Double-U-T-F M8?

But I did play Bastion recently

And did you walk out of the spawn room for the sixth time feelingā€¦ happy about being killed?

I was just saying I have played him recently I never said I was proud of what I did playing him.

Goodluck getting anything decent for Bastion if you refuse to let go of the one thing holding him back :man_shrugging:

You mean his primary fire, and basically the entire reason he exists?

Yea no.

I mean, we even have an entire cinematic involving that particular weapon, not just a side detailā€¦ That. Weapon.

In fact, multiple cinematics where that weapons plays a key role in the lore.

This has already been addressed by Michael Chu. When Hanzo lost scatter, he said that, in the lore, Hanzo still has scatter arrow - even if it isnā€™t in the game.

Iā€™ve been reading through your replies here and you are coming across as very angry and passive aggressive in your responses.

Because of this, Iā€™m going to leave the conversation here.

This is a little bit differentā€¦

Hanzo didnā€™t lose his entire bow.

Oh, about MrSandvich in particular, heā€™s a known troll who shoots down anything related to Bastion.

Ignore him.

Oh and of course youā€™re leaving, sinceā€¦ if the hero canā€™t be deleted, why even talk.

I donā€™t think they forgotten about bastion but that they just canā€™t find a balance between low and high ranks.

buffing him for GM will make him OP in low ranks.

Because a dev said they balance around GM but takes low ranks into consideration.

Iā€™ve been saying for years that he needs a rework, heā€™s a god when babysat and worthless alone. More importantly, though, he isnā€™t fun to play as or against; and his pick rate shows it.

Posted my opinion in other threads but Iā€™ll post here too. Putting a lengthy CD on sentry is the only way they can rebalance bastions kit.

Giving him back a shield may sound like a good idea but to give his shield back they could need to reintroduce the 180 limited view which was clunky and people hated.

Chi wont like to hear it guys but the only way to rebalance bastion is to take away his lack of cool downs so he has moments of vulnerability

They should just make his Recon Mode better. Any more buffs to Sentry Mode will not leave him in a good spot. He needs to be able to be viable when not in Sentry Mode.

Pick Bastion every 5 matches - #NeverForgetBassie

the forums want dps as a whole to be a useless class. you think they are ever going to advocate for buffs to a class they want to be unusable?

He will stay forgotten, because he canā€™t be made viable for higher tiers without making him broken.

Play in Bronze. He is played all the time there and seen as a cheese pick because no one knows how to counter him in that level of elo hell.

Except he isnā€™t. Heā€™s bottom 5 on average. Even bronze handles him better than other heroes.

Come to PS4 where Bastion has the third highest winrate for a damage hero, albeit a very low pick rate.

ive actually seen bastion out more than i typically see one of my favorite gals out lately and ive seen people switch to bastion during a match if they are a DPS
