šŸ’” Bastion ISNā€™T being forgotten, heā€™s being ignored

This thread just comes across as a bunch of boops and beeps.

Seriously Torb has been sliding down the gutter further and further with each new hero released except for Doomfist. Right now he can only place his turret reliably 1/4 of the time.

And ya want us to care about an omnic with ptsd? Pssshaw!

Yeah I was just addressing the ā€œbut he keeps shooting at head level and kills everythingā€ myth, and I would have no problem starting the conversation over with Katarina in a more clean and productive way.

Torb is getting a rework supposedly where his turret can be thrown a short distance when you deploy it and it auto upgrades to level 2 at some point so thatā€™ll make it easier to set up by throwing it in a corner and forgetting it.

The dwarf has a rework confirmed that is coming soon, the walking mini gun has nothing.

Yeaā€¦ Torby is confirmed for a reworkā€¦ the devs are even openly talking about it.

they wonā€™t even dare say the word ā€œBastionā€ and havenā€™t for well over a year.

That hasnā€™t been confirmed, and honestly, throwing a turret sounds stupid since it negates the utility of Symā€™s teleporter for Torb. Then again, Brig kinda negated Torb in many ways.

In any case it isnā€™t confirmed and heā€™s been plagued with crippling bugs for a month.

He can throw it through the teleporter Iā€™m assuming and they wanted to reduce his dependence on his turret making it highly likely that they will go through with him being able to throw it a short distance so you can forget it easier.

I beleive it was confirmed in an interview with one of the devs a couple of weeks ago.

I just hope they either make it upgrade by itself just as fast as if he was hitting it, or allowing him to hit it.

I hope his hammer will have a use.

Would you mind sending me a link?

Yes, this Has Been officially confirmedā€¦ But i donā€™t know if that really is a good thing or notā€¦ :confused:

We havenā€™t even been acknowledged let alone mentioned in over a year and a half. :upside_down_face:

Not confirmed. Just one of the ideas they were thinking about, meaning it hasnā€™t even went forward with one inch of code or testing.

lol so now instead of ā€œprotect my turret!ā€ heā€™ll say ā€œforget my turret!ā€

Kinda. IDK how I feel about the direction theyā€™re going.

Yay my likes are back!

Cant post links yet, but just go to a overwatch news youtuber, and check their videos from a couple of weeks ago. Iā€™m sure you can find a 10 minute video on the interview.

Edit: Terranguard is to fast for me
