Yeaā€¦ it needs to be sped up.

Likeā€¦ as if you only had 200 ammoā€¦ :thinking::thinking::thinking:

17031

I must say I like the changes. I do think he needs his spread to reset gradually, not as soon as you stop shooting.

he has 300 ammo though

All of the sounds are completely broken on my PTRā€¦ I canā€™t locate anything, and I can hear my shots hitting the wall from across the map. I would like to test the Bastion changes, but the game is unplayableā€¦

As for the changes, I think it could be just a tiny bit faster, maybe by half a second. I wish there was an indicator of your spread other than having bloom enabled on your crosshair though. I like a static crosshair, but I want to know how accurate I amā€¦

People will still whine, this is the forums.

So back in the day, his driving point behind Bastion being broken after his initial rework, is that Namo+35% IC meant he could survive a Dva bomb.

Like, EVERY Bastion player was against 35%IC, but literally nanoing a Bastion so he survives a Dva bomb is flat out stupid.

Not to mention the max DR was nerfed shortly after Bastion because of this useless complaining.

Iā€™ll try it out when I get home in 2 hours, at work atm on break.

Maybe because the Devs take minimal effort to talk with the forums.

I mean, we only heard about Bastion through a livestream that some balance dev had. Zero acknowledgement to this community.

It means we are no longer forgotten!

I got an instant reply today when I was talking about Soldier in the patch notes, his helix arenā€™t auto-targeted in Visor. (Still theu didnā€™t communicated in the past)

I rest on my previous comment sir.

Even with the potential from the spread reducing as you fire, i still believe that sentry wont be ā€œfixedā€ until he can headshot again.

Was in a pretty normal feeling match where i literally couldnā€™t do anything about a suicidal Torb who would hit E And dive straight through my team, directly at me.

I think his only major problem right now is how Ironclad functions.

Wouldnā€™t need ironclad if he could actually kill. :wink:

But yea, i fully get what you mean.

Ironclad should add literal armor (Tank mode too) Not an unseen data value, which only proves to help pocket him above all else.

At the moment, the buffs look pretty good. If they end up not doing much for him, then yes, we will ask for something a bit more. Probably either a slight buff in the time it takes to reach minimum spread, or a slight buff to that minumum spread. Again though, at the moment, they look promising.

PTR HERE I COMEā€¦ BE WARNED TARGETS OF MINEā€¦

the spread could be reduced more, but at least Bastion has the illusion of surviving instead of having none.

PTR buffs are live, here are my thoughts: Close enough.

I said this, and lets do some math.

current spread is 3.0 degrees.
old spread was 2.0 degrees.
33% decrease means .99 degrees.
So essentially the longer he fires, he goes back to ā€œ2.0 spreadā€ which is actually like 2.1 degrees.

FanTASTIC.

Here is my 5 minutes of paintDOTnet skills, where I show the difference between the 2:

Blue/Green is Live and before firing. Pink is the MIN spread.

So basically im monkey heā€™s back to 2.0 spread. The only caveat is that he has to keep firing to achieve it.

With that said, we need to poke the devs to get QoL changes added, like IC being applied BEFORE the transformation, rather than after, and possibly more IC on Tank.

The war isnā€™t over, folks.

Itā€™s been 1 years 9 months 7 days
or 21 months 7 days
or 92 weeks 1 days
or 645 days

And weā€™ve reached our end game of this thread. Now, poke for much-needed QoL buffs, and we will prevail.

at 150 rounds fired gives the maximum bullet spread decrease, but at 75 rounds Bastion can take out moderately low flying targets.

Almost feel sorry for that mercy killā€¦ Almost.

Rcon rifle is still as random as ever at full auto.
