💔 Bastion ISN’T being forgotten, he’s being ignored

I just want to let you know if nothing else matters I really appreciate you coming into this with a bit of originality and levity. It’s so refreshing seeing someone wanting to try something that isn’t just de-facto nerfs.

I do think it’s a little silly but unlike BTC the heart is in the right place and that counts so much more.

Ohh, IDK about this tho.

It’s not going to make a difference in fights with close range heroes but heroes with just a bit of decent range and a bit of cover… 3 degrees means it’s impossible for Bastion to fight back.

Before March 2017, Bastion’s spread used to start at only ~1.2 degrees before blooming to 2 degrees. Now it takes two whole seconds of firing to shrink to 2 degrees, yet in that time Hanzo can easily destroy Bastion with 125 damage arrow and only 4 storm arrows, which is 1.2 seconds.

I’ve tested it, with current spread’s slowly shrinking inverse bloom Bastion can’t kill a hanzo sized target standing still in the open within that time, unless the Hanzo is stupidly close.

it’s great to see some recognition of what a huge target bastion is, but this is probably totally infeasible to implement in terms of game code.
