Bastions upper torso transforms into a weaker version of his sentry but he gains very basic mobility with his legs from recon remaining. Or maybe magnet feet so he has more positioning options. Maybe he could cling to the ceiling like an evil spider?
I never said that buffs and nerfs donât affect whatâs effective.
While everyone else was improving, you were doing the exact same thing, actively refusing to improve. While everyone else around you figured out that Bastion is a situational hero that doesnât always work, you insisted on playing him the same way you always do. While the people around you who climbed were playing what they worked to get good at, you were playing a hero you have a 30-ish% winrate on. While you were blaming teammates and buffs and nerfs and not having features you want, the people who climbed worked with what they had available and got good.
Itâs possible to take Bastion to Top 500, but it requires that you work to improve yourself. If Kolorblind spent all his time on the forums blaming external factors and demanding features he didnât need, nobody would have heard of Kolorblind because he never would have climbed.
No, I never said that buffs and nerfs donât affect whatâs effective. I said that people who climb play whatâs effective, or they get good enough that they can play their preferred hero through anything while maintaining higher than a 30% win rate.
Iâm certain that happened to some players. You donât seem to understand that what changed was how effective Soldier is because he got buffed. However, there were also Soldier mains that climbed before he got buffed - because they improved themselves.
Sure, usually. But if you improve yourself you can effectively play whatâs generally considered ineffective. Just look at Kolorblind - if he can get to Top 500 with Bastion, anyone who gets good can!
And youâre missing the point - if you want to play a situational hero and climb, youâre going to have to learn to adjust your play style. Youâre also going to have to improve, because everyone around you is improving. The same SR today represents a much higher level of skill than it did 3 years ago - because people improved.
Probably not the best idea to openly admit that youâre trolling.
Some day I hope you realize that only you are responsible for your own growth and improvement, and blaming anyone else is only going to drag you down. Nobody but you is forcing you to play a hero with a 30% win rate and not even trying to adjust your play style.
Iâm gonna be hosting a discussion between supporters and skeptics of Bastion and Mercy reworks that Iâll be recording for an upcoming episode of my podcast. Please let me know if youâre interested in joining!
