So if Genji was only viable on Numbani with a full dive comp but had to be switched off when your team loses a fight would you consider him balanced?
That is the same type of situation Bastion is in.
Get behind a barrier and get Mercy pocketed. Wonât die so easilyâŚ
Not really different, the OP doesnât really want his mind changed, heâs just gonna go to great lenghts (like any people creating similar topics) to prove you that heâs right.
At least I have the honesty to tell people right away.
What would have been interesting was to create a topic with proofs that he is underpowered with numbers to back them and suggestions to change him.
Bastion by design wonât work on every map and might require a shield to get full value, doesnât mean heâs underpowered.
Then whatâs the point of this topic? 
To bring more light upon the subject.
The problem with Bastion is his design.
Itâs very hard to buff him to make him viable w/o make him OP.
Same with Nerf, hard to nerf w/o destroy him.
There is many hero like that in OW and this is a real problem.
As if the subject wasnât already illuminated that we can barely miss it.
Every time I log onto the forums the first thing I see is the Bastion megathread. Hardly obscure or inconspicuous lol.

Or thereâs a better idea, soldier 76, he replaces bastionsâs entire role without all the down sides.
Ok so far its,
Bastion works well in my rank when whole team babysits him on junkertown
Just because you are annoyed by one of the worst heroes that happens to have a decent map when enemy team is uncoordinated.
It hasnât gotten a response so we took the next step.
Though it has gotten 6k posts in 30 days, so hopefully that brings some attention to the problem on it own.
Itâs against the rules of the forums to do so.
You think forum whining will accomplish much? I canât remember the last time it did.
What do you mean?
Itâs not spamming, as it is not the same posts(same subject does not equal same post).
Itâs not trolling, as we are serious about the subject.
Itâs not a threat to anybody.
It relates to Overwatch.
What about it breaks the rules?
It created Brigitte.
It fixed deflect.
It removed scatter.
It fixed Doomfistâs bugs.
All of these took awhile, but that is why we must continue.
Itâs just like the topics about Mercy, Doomfist or Sombra that we see every day.
Creating Duplicate Threads is the rules. No matter what you think, itâs just how it is.
Anyway, Iâm not going to discuss further. If you want to keep this topic alive go ahead.
As I said in the last post, same topic does not equal to same post.
No one ever focused a minority of one of the most hated group called bastion mains in one thread. To gather feedback and let ppl know. To focus on all the ranks and to see who wants what.
You just come here to let us know that he isnt underpowerd. Understandable, but dont act like you know balance by just comparing it your gameplay.
So soldier 76 can out damage bastion?
Not sure it was a good idea in hindsight to have scatter removed lol. I already had the feeling in my bones that a monster was in the making when I heard about the Hanzo rework without scatter.
Brigitte is annoying to play against with her low effort/high reward playstyle.
Deflect yeah maybe that one is true. But the pros influence the balance for the most part.
You think DFâs bugs would not have been addressed otherwise? Weâve been asking for Rein bugfixes for how long now? And still heâs the king of bugs.
