He was picked here and there during quad tank, goats, and Bunker. Not that they FAVORED him, but he was at least viable.
Now Junkertown meta… That favored him. Because he is junk. Ooh, burn.

Bastion is number one target no matter what (at least as far as I can tell). You could have the number one tank player on the enemy team, but the bronze bastion will attract more agro just for his character choice. He needs a lot of help
And his sentry mode is a giant “here I am, kill me first” sign, whenever he starts shooting…
Which he can’t kill long range due to the spread. So much for suppression fire.
yeah he should have an E ability that could help him with stuns. That way you wont need a babysitter to play him
Bastion is no where near as good of a shield breaker as junkrat or sym. And since doomfist can ignore shields, theres clear reasons why he wasn’t apart of a meta people would assume really enables him. You would see him sometimes, but majority of the time, in the beginning of double shield, you’d still get Doom Sym.
I think most bastion players have private profiles, so its probably not 0.00
And one more thing, them buffing the Fire Rates of Baptiste and McCree also make playing bastion significantly more difficult. Widow and Hanzo also screw him over. He just gets countered quite well from a good chunk of the cast.
The combination of extreme vulnerability, loud footsteps, slow movement, a huge hitbox, no movement for more effective damage, and loud weapon fire do not compensate for higher DPS… Bastion needs some tweaking.
because he’s overall BAD.
His ult is just down right laughable. I’d rather just not use it.
Well to be fair he is also bored to play and to play him you need a full comp of boring heroes playing with a boring stationary strategy. So people usually picked him as last resource just to win or draw.
Now that there is no enough shield to camp in the point, his 0.00% is expected. He needs to be reworked or changed to tank I don’t know.
0 and 0% are NOT the same.
Finally Bastion is getting some attention on YouTube. Better late than never.
We need more awareness for Bastion to show as many people possible he is absolutely abysmal right now.
It’s equal parts inchoate rage about seeing a Bastion in the lobby, and the cold logic of knowing Bastion is basically a guaranteed 5v6 because he’s so easy to zone out or eliminate.
Anything you could do with Bastion, you can do more effectively with 76, and if you’re effective with either, pick a better hitscan anyway.
When they did that “bugfix” to the timing on self-heal, it made tank mode much worst and removed one of the skillful things that bastion had.
what if, and hear me out here, 99% of bastion players hide their profile as they know they will be mocked in game and on the forums for picking a ‘throw’ pick (much like most D’Va players hide their profile, I don’t as I admit to being a D’Va one trick).
I would not blame Bastion/D’Va players for hiding their profile which of course makes it so that overbuff shows 0 of their matches.
Still spells a problem for the character if almost all the mains live in fear.
Don’t disagree at all, buffs to make everyone viable (in a way) is good for the game as a whole. The booster buff for D’Va is step one, Bastion which has been my second favorite character to play (although I can’t switch to him anymore due to role queue ) does need some love for sure.
