I expected if he was to get buffs like this, especially with accuracy, that they would nerf something else. So Iām guessing even they think that Bastion was just overall crap all along and gave him straight up buffs?

So in theory we get the old Bastions spread after a few seconds of firing, without the headshots, and with all the benefits the current Bastion has? Right?

Yes. 3 seconds until he has old spread, but no headshots. 35 ammo in recon as well, boosting itās survivability.
Now once you spend the three seconds or so breaking Reinhardtās barrier, you will have the accuracy needed to kill the people behind it.

And also he wonāt be doing the āheadshot bursting you down before you even figure out where I amā thing that many people hate, so we should be fine in that department as well.
But hey, we still get to keep Ironclad and transformation speed.
Iām genuinely impressed by Blizzard this time around, so Iāll give them another pass.

Hey, itās a step. Now you all canāt say Bastion is being ignored. =P Plus, the buffs are nice, even if they donāt seem like it.

I am still scepticalā¦ letās hope they dont kill it again like last timeā¦
Ok Blizzard maybe you are not THAT badā¦ good move thereā¦

This buff to Bastion may not last. People are still bitter about Bastionās āunfunā gameplay before he was nerfed. Wonāt surprise me if there is similar outrage less than a month after these changes hit live.
I want to keep this post as a referral for later. (17081)

I like Kolorblindās ideas for QoL sound assets.
New firing sounds for when his spread is reduced and when heās getting close to empty. Neutral, as it warns his enemies as well as his player.
Also, swap his Ultimate call so that his team finally hears something, and make the enemies hear the Null Sector Bastion noise.
Finally, add the Sentry laser-sight Iāve asked for, so his teammates can see where he is aiming.
More impactfully, implement Ironclad as soon as you hit Q, and maybe reduce the time to revert to Recon from Tank.

Bastion actually does have a low ammo sound effect, however I believe that itās glitched.
Very rarely, the low ammo sound will play rather than the normal firing sound. It kinda sounds like a suppressor is on his barrel.

If you main Bastion in ranked, you canāt be a top 200 at the end of the season, except kolor but this was in the first season of Overwatch.

Spread reduced sound changed to the nano one, so at least he sounds more dangerous. The Brrrrtt sound we all need.
The Ultimate call changed to null sector one? This should be added long time ago. Makes sense.
While ulting you tell your team to ācharge inā
When enemies should hear āback - offā scrubs
Laser sight would be the best thing ever cause it kinda makes sense for bastion to point out the targets he is aiming for just like the torbs turret.
thats all folks

Also, thanks to tik tok we will soon be getting a ānerf bastionā thread so get your keyboards ready and your finger on point cause theres gonna be a lot to type about.
I wonder if ill install overwatch again even after bastion hits the live servers. Is it gonna be enough to endure this hell again?

im not saying all peopls that sayd ānerf bastionā is bad, but like 90% of them just arent understanding that bastion is only good if he can set up and get into sentry mode correctly in a good spot, becaus iff all those arent correctly done
he is litraly a sitting target with 300hp easy to kill since he does not move lol

I know I have posted this idea to death, but I NEED bastion to have a mcree roll when changing back into recon. It sucks getting stuck in an immobile form trying to outheal damage and praying your team wil save you.
new mechanisme, to counter roadhog hook,
because roadhog is a tank, and bastion counter tanks, yet is countered by tanksā¦
- whene hooked, bastion stays in sentry forme, and can shoot.

Yea, I never personally understood how being hooked literally caused Bastion to mechanically transform.
He should just stay in Sentry mode, making him a dangerous target to hook.
Like hooking a Reaper, or dare i say a D,Va bomb.
A part of me thinks he only transforms to make the hook āWorkā since it makes very little sense for that small hook to end up āaroundā something like a Sentry Bastion visually.
Even when hooking a Reinhardt or another Roadhog, it can be believed that the hook just catches on their back, allowing them to be pulledā¦ But Bastion is essentially a cube when in Sentry.
we could just make him unhookable in Sentry mode. That might be neat.
People would complain like crazy if he were unhookable, but i meanā¦ There are SO MANY Counters to Bastion, that in the grand scheme of things, it wouldnāt even change much other than making him more effective against tanks.

DEVs talked last year about how being hooked by roadhog and being able to shoot at the same time would be a possiblity
but hey lets take that idea for bastion
