Or maybe they take an eternity to do anything. Theyāve reworked 2 heroes since then and made another and are likely making another hero for the next release.
Noā¦ They should have listened in the first place, when told that removing her ultimate without even attempting to rectify the issues it was indirectly causing, was all around a bad ideaā¦
But did they? nop.
Blizzard doesnāt listen when it matters it seems.
We arenāt talking about reverting but how players complained about nerfs that were beyond warranted.
My point is, if enough players complained about these things Blizzard would do something about it, but theyāre not, they clearly donāt care and neither does the community.
If it mattered to them or the community, they wouldāve done it for the sake of their game.

Post created by GrantMan in which he tested Bastionās actual dps vs dps on paper
One thing you have to remember while reading it is many heroes kill even faster than these numbers at ranges in which Bastion is supposed to work as well as theyāre smaller and moving so his actual dps vs a real player will be much lower ingame. The tests were done on the training dummies which are massive compared to all 200 hp heroes so the TTK is even higher in a real game.

This one can only be asumed to have been uncapped because it didnāt lock at 5k posts
Bastion megathread #2
Same with this one
The polls have over a thousand voters. Obviously people care.

An average of 500 max players voting for spread reduction, wow, such care.
They nerfed rez as much as they possibly could, and she is still the most picked healer. How exactly does any of that scream ātheyāre not addressing issues caused by it indirectlyā?
The point Iām making is there are over a thousand people who care enough to vote at all there. The majority of voters still believe reverting sentry and headshots is the way to go.
You were saying nobody cares, Iām showing that they do.
Oh and itās still the majority.

I didnāt say that no one cares about Bastion in general, Iām saying that these changes that we believe are the best for him is clearly not in line with the majority of the players.
Iām saying that most people think Bastion is okay right now and that he has his niche spot that is okay, we disagree with that, we hate that people see him this way, but that doesnāt change the reality of the situation.
Then why are they the top voted changes? Thatās how a majority works, when itās the majority of votes ![:stuck_out_tongue:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=5" ":stuck_out_tongue:")

And it wonāt hurt people to try changes for him. The PTR is for such things. USE IT BLIZZARD.

Yeah I guess that if the non Bastion players started voting for the changes we agree with then Iād stand corrected. But how exactly is it hard proof? 60% of the players couldāve easily just voted on both threads and you wouldnāt be able to do a thing about it.
A change being added to the PTR 9/10 times means āthings to expect in the live gameā
Blizzard is so slow on communicating and working with the players that it has become the norm in this community now, they couldnāt utilize the PTR for balance testing to save their lives.
Dear god itās 100 degrees out and Iām stuck at the beach please send help
