Why though? Gut his healing for a barrier that doesn’t do much of anything… Especially since he can’t have the barrier and heal at the same time…
Bastion is in such a poor state at the moment, that trading buffs for nerfs isn’t going to do anything for him, and will probably just put him in an even worse spot than he is now… If that’s even possible.
If he can still rocketjump, I wouldn’t mind too much… Heck, I’d be fine with a 1.5 second delay between shots and 3 second recharge. If someone gets shot, and then stands out in the open for another 1.5 seconds, they kinda deserve that death. I’ve also put in a “maximum range” where the damage instantly drops off to 75 damage with the splash dropping proportionally to avoid the whole counter-sniping thing.
Not sure about charge time though, I’d like to keep Tank kinda fast-paced like it is now.
In the standing up form, his head will be the thing in the middle.
While standing, he’ll have high damage output with high rate of fire, good spread, and headshots on a hitscan weapon.
He’ll be able to move, but slower than normal like Oirsa.
Lots of health and armor
An ult that just buffs his rolling ball and standing forms…
Also, as a side note… There goes the “Droideka” idea. They couldn’t have really stolen this one, as they’ve probably had the idea and artwork for Hammond for quite a while now, but still…
Just saw yours (I assume… maybe it’s another guy names Zenyatta with that profile pic that also referenced this thread), maybe they’ll say something there… We can only hope
I got most of the reasons as to why current bastion sucks, I have yet to add people’s ideas and I also want to try and do side by side comparisons of current bastion vs old bastion, in the context of Rein, Hanzo, Sym even, Hog and even Mercy healing him.
Well the difference is she can move and teleport, he can’t. So maybe it’s not so bad on Sombra but massive spread on a hero who can’t move is just plain bad.
