Hoi. Iām back.
Just read through some of the post Iā¦ made earlier.
Yeah, thatās embarrassing. Iām deeply sorry.
Just took my drugs though. Should be stable now.
Reminds me I need to put an alarm on my phone for that stuff.
So. Can someone fill me up ? Iām not remembering half of whatās been said ![:confused:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/confused.png?v=5" ":confused:")

Came back to see 300 new repliesā¦ For some reason i was under the impression that something useful had happenedā¦ or maybe a Dev post was being discussedā¦
But, like with all things related to Bastion, I have been let down again. 
Now i can only hope this thread doesnāt get locked/reported, And that useful conversation can be had in the futureā¦
To Anyone just now taking a look at this thread:
If you happen to disagree with something in the OP, (Which even I Havenāt gotten to re-read every last detail of it and itās attached posts and links yet) Just remember, No one is asking you to agree with Every last idea.
This is the culmination of almost every single valid idea the Bastion mains/players on this forum can come up withā¦
If you disagree with one of them, Please, by all means, Discuss it.
But, for the love of Jeffā¦

Iām aware of that, but it does soften up multiple targets for his teammates, on whom Bastion is currently so dependent.
My point is, if Blizzard wants to keep the current spread, they might consider ways in which to capitalize on it rather than let the AoE go completely to waste like it currently does.
This is part of why iām pushing for the āRevertā Because it doesnāt even fit the lore anymoreā¦
Bastion isnāt about āSoftening Up Targetsā
Bastion is about Blowing them away if they come to close, and pressuring them if they arenāt.
If you walk into a Bastion, in Sentry mode, You need to die.
No matter the hero you are playing, unless you have a very specific plan involving one or more ultimate abilities, A Good Bastion should kill you 99% Of the time.
Thatās area denial, and thatās what a Bastion was meant for.
But now people literally have to deny the area for you, so that you can help tickle them to death like an outcast Tracer who didnāt make the cut.
Guys, I found the best buff Bastion could ever hope for!

After the escalation yesterdayā¦ this thread looks pretty alive 
Iām still here.
Itās WAY Too late at night for me to be, but i am.
Then go to bed. Its 1 PM for me. I can watch over it while you sleep.
You are very lucky.
Lets just say iām likeā¦ Four or so hours ahead of you. O-o
Update: It Might Not be night anymore.
I Can neither confirm, nor deny.
5 PM is not night xD
Itās not 5 Am Anymore.
OH You said PMā¦ Thatās where my math was off.
Timezones.
I Curse thou name.
Why are you awake at this time? I know that Bastion is important but jesus try to sleep

Yea yeaā¦ There was research to be done.
(And math to be attemptedā¦)
That, and probably insomnia. 
Donāt worry, One of the best cures to insomnia in a gamer is 
Ive usually been one of the most voacal on making Bastion Fun again, but im raising the white flag. I just do not see Blizzard working on Bastion at any time. If any reworks happens so be it i will check out the changes and place my 10 cents in,.
I donāt even know what to debate anymore.
Are we trying to make him less F-tier like he was pre rework ? Or are we trying to make him viable ?
Less F-tier, weel just the sentry revert and weāre done.
Viable, thoā¦ I have no idea that can contest tank on E
I donāt need Bastion to be meta. I just need playing Bastion to feel less like a futile struggle where my enemies have to make a mistake that I must succeed in capitalizing on in order for me to ever win an exchange.
I want the laser pointer to promote teamwork the same way that Lucioās circles do.
I want Damage Reduction or Bonus Armor as soon as I begin transforming out of Recon Mode and as long as Iām not fully returned to Recon Mode. I want more Damage Reduction or the old Armor bonus for Tank Mode.
I would greatly prefer a nerfed Beta Shield for Sentry Mode than the āprotects from all directions Ironcladā, but I understand the concerns about āshield stackingā.
I would like Bastion to have some kind of mobility ability in Recon Mode to help him reach high-ground positions behind his team for fire-support. If it shouldnāt be used for escaping enemies, then have it be interrupted by enemy fire the way that Self-Repair used to be.
I want some kind of reduction in Sentry Gun spread, so that I can be better rewarded for good aim and can more easily support my team from behind them like Bastion was meant to do.

I hate to be that guy but this thread is a waste of time and effort.
Blizzard has proven itself time and time again that they ignore the average playerās feedback and only listens to pro players, particularly those in OWL.
This started way back during before Mercyās rework, people were already complaining about Mass Resurrection being broken and overpowered. While true, they only started taking action when pro players chimed in.
People were complaining that Tracer and Genji needed nerfs but they remained untouched -aside from Genjiās bug fixes - because pro players donāt have any big opinions about them (excluding Tracerās recent nerf - which by the way, doesnāt exactly address the real issue with her).
Fast forward to Sombra, her buff was literally in the right direction, but pro-players went on a riot (metaphorically) and she was nerfed almost immediately without it even going to the PTR for testing.
This argument is further strengthened when Blizzard admitted they have a āPro Onlyā discord channel.
Edit:
Though thatās not to say that you shouldnāt voice your opinions, itās just thatā¦ how many mega threads have been ignored already?
