A hero that needs basically the whole team to focus him or relies on ulties in order to get rid of him is quite peculiar. I’m talking about a bastion well placed on high ground protected by some shield. Have you ever played arcade against 6 bastions? It’s 100% unwinnable, call me noob…
I don’t think Bastion is a bad hero, neither I will say it’s OP, but he definitely has a play style which is different. He has no mobility, it is incredibly boring to play, I think this explains his pick rate. People like to move, climb, jump, flank etc… He also doesn’t need to have so many skills except positioning and some tracking (they are good skills to have anyways).
Personally I hate Bastion, both as an enemy and as a team mate. He makes the game pretty boring, as a healer I hate to pocket something that doesn’t even move and even seeing his POTG as a cannon shooting is the most boring thing in this game. As an enemy, having someone making my life harder just with a left click on his mouse really makes me nervous. At least Hanzos and Widows need to aim, flick, etc… I wish they totally erased this hero and put something totally different.

Bro I have 1400 SR on both of your placed roles 
People play to win, especially in comp. If Bastion was among the best options to do so, it would get much higher pick rates. It’s the complete opposite.
What other skills are there that Bastion doesn’t need? Those related to mobility? You’re describing every hero without mobility if that’s the case.
Well, thanks to Self-Repair, Bastion is one of the dps you need to pocket the least. Snipers barely move either, once they get to their spots.
You’re describing literally every hero with the left click thing, and all 3 forms of Bastion require aim. If anything, Hanzo and Widow should make you way more nervous than Bastion.

Bastian is that one character I can’t get my rid of my bias against him to be fair. Hate him.

Just goes to show rank doesn’t mean someone knows how to balance. The fact someone 1400 SR lower than you has a better understanding of balance than you is quite telling.

I mean, when I play Bastion, I always reposition after each kill, because sitting still as Bastion is how you feed, but he is very easy to counter, unless the enemy team is basically shoving a Mercy rod up his butt, and having Rein and Orisa baby sit him.
Now that he can CC’d while in his turret form, even Road can counter him if he’s able to get close enough. His high damage output is fine imo, as he is one of the easiest heroes to counter once your team coordinates enough to counter the bunker comp he’s in.
HAHAHAHA I knew this was a troll post dude as soon as he started with the
Like bastion has mobility in recon.

Maybe they’re talking about his ult which is the form with the most mobility
;p
Actually you’re right forgot about that character definitely needs nerf nice to see his damage reigned in a bit with new experimental

I wish to believe that this is a troll thread, but how they’re defending themselves, and this is the forums so you can never be too sure.
well… TECHNICALLY… some mobility is more than none. So it is higher XD
Blizzard type of balance lol.
Random aggravation sometimes.
90 hps on right click btw.
I mean… Bastion isn’t even close to OP, but so many of your points are totally correct!
I think you should rejoice that Bastion is finally getting pulled out of his horribly - designed state (which is mostly attributed the major disparity that exists between the team coordination required to run and counter Bastion comps (coordination which more often than not doesn’t exist in the first place) and to his clunky, unengaging sitting - duck game play) via a hard rework, in time for OW2!

The current experimental makes it so that bastion is no longer oppressive at extreme ranges.
The only reason why bastion feels op is because damage mitigation as a whole is depressingly underpowered.
