Why did the developers didnā€™t answer a user-created megathread of nearly 16.000 thousand replies?

I honestly donā€™t knowā€¦ I mean we have gotten off topic somewhat, but over all weā€™ve stayed focused on the main issues.

And yetā€¦ Itā€™s like weā€™re talking into an empty room.

Hereā€™s an idea that has yet to be discussed, increased movement speed on Recon Configuration. This would help Bastion to get to objectives faster and get set up faster. Too many times, I have to swap to another dps hero after I die if I want to get back and contest a defense point because Bastion is too slow to get back and set up Turret Configuration for it to be of value.

Also, does anyone else think itā€™s weird that Blizzardā€™s Merchandising team takes better care of Bastion than the Balance team? He has three different types of figurines (Transforming, Cute but Deadly, Lego), a Ganymede plush and some shirts and a jacket.

What about a ā€œThe Last Bastionā€ type passive ?
Like ā€œIncreases damage for every dead team memberā€ (or similar, maybe based on proximity ?)

Same problem mass rez had, letting your team die is encouraged.

Ganymede: ā€œKill them all. Even your team.ā€

Better to nuke genii, s from orbit. Just time sure.

Yep. It is a meme. We wait 20 months for something and early this year we started suggesting changes. This btw is the second thread and not the first one we created.

Thatā€™s how it feels in Mercy threads now that shes the least picked main healer now, and since the beggining of her rework.

It seems like some things the devs just dont want to bother with of the characters or think they are good because niche, and its sad.

I do have a feeling that the next hero rework might be Bastion. Getting the feeling itā€™s going to be very mobile. So problay his ult on Eā€¦because every rework put their old ults on E.

At times it seems they rework characters to be more fun to watch for OWL. Nobody liked watching a Torb place and hit his turrent, or a Bastion just sit in one place shooting, and its sad.

Seems like all thinking is leaving the game, but when he does get reworked hope itā€™s a good one. Cause right now the devs only made 1 good rework out of 3.

Bastion rework idea Code name: Grav Crawler.

E: Allows Bastion to climb walls via crawler tank mode for 10 seconds for higher mobility. Cooldown 15 seconds. Fires low yield missiles same as Dva but only in Grav tank mode.

A tank mode on E, i know its cliche on this thread :stuck_out_tongue:

No cooldown on my boi.
Or Imma slap ya real hard >.<

i had to put a balancing function in and the only one i could think off that was the most easily to be balanced was a time delay.

Darters classic movie for the night: When worlds collide.

Aside from the spread and headshot adjustments, Iā€™d say just add the Tank mode as an ability, reduce its rate of fire substantially, and make it so that self-repair would be disabled while Tanking around in exchange for the additional movement speed. No matter the mode Bastion would be in, heā€™d have 2 of the following: self-heal, movement, or great DPS.

  • Recon = self-heal + movement
  • Sentry = self-heal + good DPS
  • Tank = good DPS + movement

Thereā€™s gotta be balance to it, but I think Bastion mains would dig it.
Plus, itā€™d give Blizzard an opportunity to give Bastion a new Ultā€¦ perhaps something called ā€œExterminateā€ where he could have all 3 benefits of the modes at the same time, making for an all red-light murder frenzyā€¦
