This hero in its current form should never be in top 5 in any rank
currently he is top 5 in all ranks except plat.
He is the most unsatisfying hero to kill currently
there is no sweet head hitbox shots.
goes into turret and basically has orissa fortify, if at all you focus fire that then it gets its hp back and starts throwing a huge nade from whereever you were shooting which is what most things that can kill bastion would be doing.
and you have to relocate or hide, then just as you think its going to die it get brrrrrrrrr form again.
then when you kill it there is no satisfaction just pain.
You need to make him in a way he is a proper hero, and should be killable in all forms.
you cant keep giving invincible moments to hero.
Bastion in overwatch 1 go brrrr i put 5 balls into his face and killed.

Nawh, I prefer playing against Bastion way over playing against Torb, Symmetra, Illari or Widow.
Torb, Symmetra and Illari because I’m SO OFTEN the only player who cares for the turrets.
Widow is the same, I’m usually the one to dislodge/fight her… regardless of my role (just todasy I dislodged her as Brigitte…)
At least players recognize the threat Bastion is and will focus/avoid him. That said, just use cover. He’s not that much of a threat during cooldown anyway.

none of them except widow when she is meta share anywhere close to the unhealthy pickrates of bastion,
All the heroes you mention i can kill with headshots.
there is no reward to killing bastion its a boring chore.

Not necessarily, his sticky grenade doesn’t have a STUCK notification so it’s hard to tell sometimes if you’re stuck or not especially in messy fights. That, and also there’s no visual indicator if you’re near the grenade too.

Who willingly runs into bastion in turret mode?
Just wait around the corner till it’s over then he’s an easy kill.

Then hide and Chuck nades with pocket heals.
There is zeroreward feel in killing bastion a boring chore.
Shouldn’t the reward be that the Bastion is dead?

Bastion is finally decent. He is sometimes played, but in general you can deal with him. To fight him requires a simple thing that most people dont want to use. Or two to be exact: usage of cover and patience. He is slow and big normally and even slower when in turret mode. Just dont peak for a few seconds or try to get a different angle. Heroes like Sigma or Dva also remove his DPS from the game. Always remember: besides DPS he has only downsides. Mostly the tank hitbox that rewards you with a lot more ult charge than tanks, while he has no out or defense mechanism.

And mercy should be a permanent D teir support due to her ease of use and high value relative to it…
But you know “casual problems in competitive games”

God forbid the character ever rise above C tier.
They reigned in his grenade cause tbf that was pretty insane. Just wait out the assault transformation and then push. Only good bastion players get value out of recon

It matters how it rises.
If it was ow1 bastion that was killable in sentry it was good.
This bastion is basically like hitting pause in the video game.
Hey guys oooga booga here let’s all hide for 6 secs, hey hey ooga booga gone let’s go shoot.
Ooga booga hiding throwing junk nades.
It’s like the most boring chore in the world.
Make him fun and killable I won’t care if he is A tier.
wait ur complaining about bastion when u play zen?
It has a locked duration and cooldown plus no self repair? He’s arguably easier to kill with coordinated teams than he was before lol.

Mercy is not the easiest Support, but she is one of the weakest. This doesn’t even make sense.

Holding m1 and following people around takes skill…

Mercy is the hero you play when you want rely on everyone elses skill to carry…
Mercy literally enables tunnel vision…
You tunnel vision with any other supprt and things go south real fast…
I mean its extremely easy to be a healer as mercy… because thats literally all she does
