This SO MUCH. This forum is so prone to ridiculous exaggerations and bias itās painful. People literally call Sombra OP in every Sombra thread, and without a shred of evidence swear her potential 0.27 degree spread reduction is going to make her a 100% must pick in OWL.
Yup, and this too. āI hate this character who counters my main, so I want them unusable forever. No Iām not biased, I just understand the game better then everyone else!ā is far too prevalent an attitude here. Like they canāt even grasp that there are others who enjoy the character, and they will get said character on their team occasionally.
Currently yes, deathball is absolutely the best comp to win most of your games with on averageā¦but that is mostly because Rein is far superior to all other main tanks.
I wasnāt talking about most likely to win though, simply safest position for you personally not dying.
Aww how cute! Look at this console pleb thinking he gets an opinion at all. PC-only or you are worthless and brain dead with the reaction time of a snail! Get gud!!11
But she is OPā¦completely joking.
Her change was so inconsequential that I didnāt feel the need to go play against Sombra with the changes that were made.
Bastion is supposed to counter the hell out of the majority of heroes I play. He does in a way, but he doesnāt long enough, and certainly not for how the hero was developed to be played.
Just heal and walk into itās face, pull it off the payload, and rip itās guts outā¦ it works most of the time, as long as your team exists near you.
And of course break shields from afar, which Roady is honestly better than Bastion at by nowā¦ less risky anyways.
Bastionās biggest strength and weakness is he MUST be focused immediately or heāll kill everything given time. Us mid rank players canāt grasp much about how to play the game, but EVERYONE seems to understand āBasion is priority target #1.ā
I generally donāt have the option. My mainstays are Reinhardt, Winston, and D.Va. Most people want that kind of experienced player tanking so the other tank can pick the more specific counter hero. Its fine for me, but I wish I got more time on Zarya and Orisa.
He needs a full rework. He CANāT stay in his current form and be good. Heās too team reliant. Itās a team game but not everyone wants to look at the bastion and think ā ok, this is where all our strategy and resources are going into or itās over.
My problem and the problem with many people is his turret mode. either it goes the way of the dodo or he gets his damage reduced along with the ammo and heās able to roll like tank configuration at the speed of Reinhardt holding his barrier.
I meant turret mode, my bad.
I really think that the sit down in one spot and shoot things play style needs to go.
Because he is vulnerable and that makes it so his team has to be around him to get value.
And whatās the main problem everyone has with bastion? Itās that they have to play around him
Most heroes are defined by what makes them different then the rest of the cast.
You can say that about each major strength of any hero. If you were to alter the main design choice of Sentry Mode from Bastions kit, you may as well re-release him as a different hero completely. I for one do not think this would be necessary, nor would it be a positive impact on those who play Overwatch. Look no further then the Mercy rework. I would bet money, my opinion, that we all lost more fellow Overwatch players to her rework then any other change in the game, to include role queue.
No, making him more deadly on his own just reinforces why people would have to group around him and defend him.
Itās like the situation with why Pharah gets no buffs. Because right now she kind of depends on mercy but if you make her perfectly capable and self-sufficient, putting a mercy with her is going to make her twice as strong by default.
The mercy isnāt going to just say āoh sheās strong on her own so I donāt need to pocket herā, she was going to say ādamn right Iām going to Pocket that already strong hero and make them even more powerfulā
They were able to rework Symmetra and say what you will whether you like the rework or not, she has seen more play.
Bastion needs the most drastic changes of any hero
Sym was designed to be Niche just like bastion was designed to be Niche. they arenāt generalists, they take things like a prep time.
Itās honestly impossible to get a character as technical as Symmetra and make her just as usable as a mCree.
They are meant to be good in certain situations and although you could argue they arenāt great in the situations they are supposed to be in,but if they were people would still complain that they are too niche because they can only use them in certain situations to good affect
Iām not sure if you should complain about exaggerating and disingenuous statements on the forums if you are trying to say that Sentry Bastion isnāt dangerous.
Symm and bastion were designed to be niche but symm was literally net reworked to be more generalist. If she isnāt as general as McCreeā¦ Then they failed
You canāt have it both ways which blizzard has done.
They wanted a more generalist symm and bastion. But they didnāt execute. They want niche heroes but that means dominance in that nicheā¦ which symm and bastion donāt do.
Itās like the opposite of having cake and eating it.
