Build a comp around one character is a dumb idea/tactic and even with that most of the time people would switch him for another hero after the cheese.
Make Bastion better and more viable without making him overpowered is not that hard . . .
Just saw the patch notes.
RIP Bastion.

Sorry, tanks need nerf, not because every tank buster is overnerfed.
but the armour change nerfs sends Bastion back into the graveyard, this is a fangs out war for us we waited 23 months for the only balance patch Bastion has seen since the ironclad disaster, and within a month we are back to begging for some level of viability.
Yeah nerfing the tanks really does over nerf Bastion and why should we take that standing down?

Iām okay with these changes. Bastion will have a better time clearing tanks. Heroes with DoT will do better while snipers will still struggle a bit. They didnāt Nerf Bastionās ironclad which should work even without armor (itās been a while).
Maybe we overreacting a bit. I donāt think it will make a huge difference at all. Maybe for Orisa and other heroes that really rely on the armor but Bastion is maybe protected this time because of IC. Maybe it as finally itās purpose.

I feel bad for Bastion as I donāt think the overall changes to the game are good for him ignoring his changes which hurt. And I do truly believe that Boss would have become a good meta comp but now there is no reason for it as it was at its best against tank stacks.

Thank you. The armor chnges primarily affect low self sustain tanks. This possibly buffs Zarya if anything, adding the value of having shield health and good team fighting.
At first I thought it would better really bas for him, but his offense capabilities were buffed by the same change.
Exactly, this change doesnāt necessarily hurt Bastion as much as other armored heroes since he still has ironclad. This also buffs S:76 and his rifle.
Problem is I donāt think the heroes that are going to be good now are what Bastion really wants to fight sadly. The same old meta dps that he has always had problems with snipers for an example.
we will need to wait the changes to see how it actualy is, im just scared that bastion as awalys getting a slight buff getts a huge nerf behindeā¦
and only thinking about changing it a year later, not actualy change it

just checking in, post patch.
My toughts on the buff is that itās in reality a very minor buff to those situations (that are āfairlyā rare) where bastion fights a hero at longer ranges for an extended period (phara).
Why not just admit that adding that insane spread was a mistake. Or do whatever it was they did with dva (increase bullets and reduce damage?).
Aiming spot on tracer at medium range should do a PREDICTABLE amount of damage, not just āoh there, finally it actually did damageā.
Iād rather have very low spread from the start and slightly lower damage or something.
This just feels like another terrible compromise.

This is why he needs headshots back.
If the widow hadnāt somehow missed the second to last shotā¦ (On a stationary target) i would have died to that engagement.
And no, there is no ājust stand up and use reconā Any widow worth her weight in tears would headshot you instantly with that transformation time.
