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

Why do you bring that topic up anyway? We have a lot of good arguments that cant be denied. So why do you have to bring the rank topic hereā€¦ it just ends in a toxic pile of trash.

He works just if the enemy is to bad have 0 coordination. If you read the OP you will find all answers you need of not: read the first 10k posts we discussed it again and again.

Good work I am triggered now. Juat because rank is the worst thing you can bring into a discussion that is not about rank in any means.

Rank has to do with balance and hero effectiveness though.

Is the same reason that reaper is op in quick play but is very situational above platinum. It doesnā€™t mean Reaper is broken, it means he works in certain settings.

In order to have any believability in regards to asking for such widespread changes, it helps to establish some level of expertise, ie. comp hours AND qp hours, because that grounds your research, and you can wholeheartedly stand by what youā€™re saying.

He said Bastion doesnā€™t need a rework.

Rank means nothing. I am the quick player here and bastion is just as broken In my preferred game mode as in ranked if not more so. In quick play you NEED more ability to to work independently.

Alrightā€¦ Iā€™m in the new patch.

And Bastion got an Emote.

It kind of triggers me, even though itā€™s the best thing iā€™ve ever seen.
Somebody in the dev team Obviously reads this threadā€¦

Actually I was going to comment on that today.

From what I saw, Kolor has some vendetta against this thread, the people here, maybe both.

I think the hatred stems from Hanzo, where he was F-tier, got massive buffs, and now anyone can pick him up and do good with him.

The same could happen for Bastion, which is why I want slight buffs, over a full blown rework.

I think kolor feels threatened by us since they are one of the top Bastion players. Think of Wraxu. He was a Hanzo god before the rework.

Kolor brings up valid points of Bastion not needing to be viable in every situation, but they fail to realize that Bastion isnā€™t viable in any situation really.

Bastion is so moot that you can pick any hero over Bastion.

It could be a fear of Kolorā€™s that bastion might be broken again, like the days of 35% ironclad. However, there is a disturbance between Kolor and this community.

I canā€™t tell if I lost respect for Kolor yet, but they sure as heck have shown that they donā€™t want to back us.

A shame. If we received his support considering his place in the community, we would at least be acknowledged by Blizzard.

Iā€™m actually the ghostwriter of the OP, I had Chibi post it because Iā€™m not trust level 3, and cannot post links.

Riddle me this, what meta changes are there between this season and last season?

Iā€™d say, nothing. I placed and played in Diamond last season, and because this meta trashed over Bastion I have no will to keep throwing myself on the stake.

Even me being a Pharah main, I despise this meta.

I donā€™t donā€™t need a bajillion hours in comp to provide detailed analysis. I do have hours in comp, none from this season, but even on my main it doesnā€™t show previous seasons.

At the end of the day, I donā€™t need a Diamond tank to say every past balance change has directly nerfed Bastion more and more due to the power creep. I donā€™t need 100 hours in comp to show how Hanzoā€™s E is a delete Bastion button.

This post is not something I wrote in 1 season, this spans every season between now and March of this year, because thatā€™s when I wrote the first megathread.

So 1 this season of comp proves nothing in the long run, because previous seasons are documented to the public.

If you still canā€™t look past what I just said, then I might go fetch my previous seasons and post screenshots.

I wouldnā€™t bet on it.

He/she advocated for Bastion changes back on the old forums, and got ignored.

He/she advocated for better colorblind options, but it was vastly overlooked and we are just now gettting updated options on the PTR.

Iā€™m going on a limb here, but I think Kolor wants to avoid a rework at all costs. But they would be more than fine with minor changes.

What if Iron Clad reduced external healing ?
Not Bastionā€™s self heal, external incoming healing.

That would make it easier to balance, wouldnā€™t it ? ā€˜-ā€™
(Still would need to buff the hell outta sentry)

That feels like a strange way to balance itā€¦

Think about it.
We want to make Bastion independant, right ? Heā€™s too reliant on being pocketed.
Then, make him harder to pocket! Iron clad reduced incoming damage AND healing! So the best heal you have is your own!

Also, the new ult if tank mode makes it to E:
Automatic turret. Depending on you current mode, an automatic turret is deployed on you. If youā€™re in sentry itā€™s tank and tank, sentry. For 8 seconds, it shoots the closest enemy.

Whatcha think ?

Alright! Got my first legendary from a Halloween lootbox!
