Visually speaking, Iām unsure of how he would fly, rocket boosters probably, but it is fine if new body parts appear while reconfiguring since that already happens in Tank mode.
Sorry I couldnāt quote it all at once, but here you go.

I have yet to fully read what you posted, but let me say this:
If its a heli or somekind of VTOL he could always have limited ammo.
This way we could force him to land and recharge his bullets while in recon or sentry.
A lot of balance changes would go into this one probably ![:smiley:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=5" ":smiley:")

So once again, late to the party (some of us actually do sleep for whatever reason). Donāt really expect the other guy to read this, just wanted to post my responsesā¦
Because being a designated shield breaker, and nothing else is a dumb job. Sombra mains are complaining that her being a scout is dumb (I agree), because she doesnāt really do anything, itās the same thing with barrier buster Bastion. He doesnāt actually do anything on his own, he needs teammates to finish off his kills for himā¦
If you can shoot people in the head accurately like that, then yes, you do deserve that kill.
He canāt heal while doing anything else, and itās only 75 hps for 4 seconds. A fairly nerfed version of Tank on E (with no cooldown, itās just like Sentry and Recon modes).
Torbās turret has literally no spreadā¦ Do you think the military would seriously buy turrets if they couldnāt hit their targets? CRAM turrets have to be accurate enough to shoot something the size of a football from well over 2,000 meters awayā¦
The overclock ultimate gives 5% extra Ironcladā¦ I donāt really agree with Pharahās āTank on Eā rework (Pharah wrote the post, Chibi just posted it because level 3 and all that), mine does slightly less than that. Itās still not a godmode though, pretty far from itā¦
I think thatās called debatingā¦
Calling people minions is a good way to encourage friendly discussion. Pickrates can be used to show that a hero is under-performing. It should not be regarded as the only metric, but it can be used to show other metrics. If he is objectively weak, then no one will pick him, and his pickrate will be abnormally low.
Only when theyāre very close, and if that is the case, Bastion isnāt the culprit because any hero would have killed them easily. If youād like a more detailed look at his damage output at range, you can look at this thread. Once you factor in that enemy players will most likely be much smaller, and will be moving, he actually has a worse damage output than Soldier at anything beyond about 25 meters. And when youāre giving up mobility to achieve this damage, something is very wrongā¦
That happened about a year and a half ago. But yes, we agree, that was dumb and shouldnāt have happened. Thatās why weāre trying to get Ironclad removed, so that heās not unkillable like that. The fact that a hero was once OP should not be a reason to keep them trash for the rest of their lives. If that were the case, then everyone would just be gutted and left to rot. As soon as someone got gutted, someone else would become OP because of the lack of competition, and then they would be gutted.

Hello guā¦
sees people that think shield shooting is a niche
ā¦ysā¦
Bastion is oppressive
ā¦ how areā¦
Bastion and the word furry in on sentence
Youā¦
Ok thenā¦ what happened here? Tye last 367 posts where quite interestingā¦ and still nothing new from the dev side but hey just as expected.
I wish he would be in the same spot as Mei is right now. Not picked very often but playbale and if you play him or her good, good in a lot of situationsā¦
Also guys: you all have my deepest respect
Earned. Chi, Terr, Pharah, Prox and I started this so long agoā¦ and it has still support. Thx to you all!

Thatās all I really want for himā¦ Well, if Mei got her bugs fixed anyway. I donāt want a buggy Bastion. [Insert dune buggy skin joke here, I donāt like that skin either]
And yeah, woke up to 254 posts, I thought maybe a dev posted or something, and the forums went nuts

A dev posting on a bastion thread would get a lot more attention than just 300 posts.

Maybe all the Bastion hate just went into one post, and then a bunch of people liked itā¦ 
It was also kinda late at night, and since EST is the only timezone, most everyone must have been asleep

I already covered that, he actually has a negative winrate in bronze and silver meaning there is no issue there. If youāre talking about low gold, thatās close enough to silver that Iād lump them together.
Iāve almost never heard that argument for anybody but Junkrat. Also Sym can move everybody far through a choke now. Itās kind of becoming the new dive. You canāt hold a choke if they skip the choke entirely.

No, you didnāt read it. He always used to have low spread and headshots and it wasnāt an issue. It spawned a bunch of memes but that was about it. His healing rate isnāt going to change so what do you mean by fast healing? The drawbacks are losing ironclad and a bunch of ammo. He always used to get 150 armor while ulting before and it wasnāt āgod modeā so try again.
Also the OP asks for a lower headshot value. Thatās also only one of many of the suggested changes.
I donāt like the increased IC to 50% while transforming because that sounds ab-usable but thatās just me. Thatās in the second one.
The third is just the minitank mode thing. The drawback is having the lowest damage potential of all modes because it canāt headshot and has a lower bodyshot dps than even recon.
There are several more that were linked afterwords.

How can I be a minion if I started making Bastion posts before I even met ChibiFox? Anyways pickrates are very, very important and so are especially low winrates. People keep shouting āOP IN BRONZEā but donāt stop to realize he has a low winrate there even with his higher pickrate.

Same I was making posts about Bastion when the forums first became a thing 2 years ago. I wanted Bastion to be more flexible then, and now that heās even less flexible that drive is much stronger
You also have my personal experience to back you up, since I play in the 1000 SR area(I blame my 25 FPS)
I woke up to 204 and was only asleep for 6 hours, all we missed was some debating on him being OP.

The GTX 1070s and 1080s can get you to 60 fps and beyond. Theyāre kind of expensive but IMO theyāre worth it. I went from 30 fps to around 100 with a 144 hz monitor and a gtx 1080 and I made it to diamond. Kind of. I hit 3k then I got a loss streak and now Iām sad and want to quit. This happens with every rank up. I make it, then fall under again, then make it back.
