ā3 shots in reserve, like Tracerās blinks. (he can fire all 3 at once, and if all 3 are direct shots then it will only do 120 damage, the same as 1 fully charged shots.ā
What,a burst firing tank sounds good? Not to mention this underwhelming damage for a 15 second reload to get all your shells back.Guess what junkrat can press lmb once and it will do the same amount of damage.No,I donāt want for Bastionās tank to be able to āshoot shells in rapid successionā mechanic.
He was probably confused about what you were referencing, since we have more versions of tank on E than bullets in Sentryās clip.

Well, if we can do it then a casual can too.
You can justify any broken character with this logic. Not only that, but if a person like me with <20 hours and 5 hours into Bastion can wreck Quick Play with himā¦ I can only imagine what a Pro Bastion player can do in Quick Play.
This is a competitive game so I donāt think we should balance around people who donāt play the game seriously.
I disagree. While Overwatch does draw a big competitive crowd, casual players are still the bread & butter of the game. I also think the sentiment that this game should only cater to one type of player is repulsive. It should try to make as many players happy as possible and have a level playing field at all levels of play.
From a business perspective, casuals and new players are more profitable than seasoned & competitive players. For two reasons.
A) New players and casuals are more likely to spend money, because they have less and are more willing to pay than to grind, while seasoned & competitive players either already have the paid content they want or are willing to grind for it. It comes down to the fact that the latter players canāt be milked for as much.
B) The newcomer and casual experience is important to keeping the game in a healthy level of activity. What happens when a newcomer starts playing and they get pro-players thrown at them? They donāt have fun and they quit. From a business perspective, you absolutely cannot let your elite players oppress your newcomers and your casual players and absolutely cannot give them characters that compound that.
Itās more important to Blizzard that they preserve their entry-level game-play, than to cater to their elitist crowd. Not only is it more profitable, but itās the right and fair thing to do.
Where are you getting the idea that he wreks QP games from?

Because I play him in Quick Play and I perform 5x better on him than any other hero, even my previous main, Tracer.
I play him qp, around low gold - mid diamond mmr and he never works unless weāre doing stupid strategies where we build half of the team around him and the other side has no comms. Even then its risky.

Yeah, sameā¦ I normally play around diamond or so, and I can normally get away with playing him, but heās not terribly effectiveā¦ sometimes if the enemy team is pretty bad, I can do pretty well. Like when they go Winston/Doomfist to deal witht the Bastionā¦

Having over 100 hours on Bastion Just in qp, i can confirm that heās basically useless without a dedicated team.
And by that point, said team using any other heroes, would probably rival most randomly squished together comp teams.
Soā¦ There is that.
