I believe that Bastion isn’t strong enough for his hitbox size, I would suggest either adding a bleed to the character, returning self heal, buffing his damage or adding reaper shadow wraith to him. Please let me know what you think about my ideas to improving Bastion. jeff kaplan can also reduce his hitbox size, that is also an option. I just feel like he shouldn’t have roadhogs hitbox when he is a DPS.

Here’s what I think. I think you are mentally deranged. Bastion is one of the strongest DPS in the game at this very moment and you bastion mains still want more. Perhaps working on your aim would fix the issues you are having with TTK.

I played bastion in my last game. A tracer snuck up on me and landed a pulse bomb. I survived without any help or cool downs, then I went tank form and killed her.
If life was fair I would have died and that tracer would have probably gone on to cap the point I stopped them from winning and maybe their team would have won that game lol.
Bastion can literally survive getting head shot by widow and getting pulse bombed lol. About the only thing I think is crazy is some tanks (without a shield) can mitigate SO MUCH DAMAGE that you can spend an entire turret form shooting them and they still won’t die but I don’t think that’s a bastion issue

If anything Bastion counters mitigation tanks by draining their resources faster then any other DPS, allowing for other players to follow up and push back. Almost every game I’ve played with a competent Bastion has been a win, he bullies tanks and melts all other heroes even at range. A true low rank menace.

yeah that’s how I play bastion… I just force tanks to spend their mitigation abilities and hopefully the supports to spend their cool downs too but then you’re just kinda spent so you have to rely on your team to follow up on a push.
He’s too strong against Rein. Every time I play Rein I get countered with Bastion and I can’t do anything.
That’s his job, to counter tanks, so he’s a very team-dependent character and honestly, I don’t think he needs any buffs or nerfs.
Yeah. Ramatra literally doesn’t care that you shoot from him in turret mode, as long as he’s blocking. And yet people complain that he is a dead character…
Double his damage!
Let the chaos begin!!
Don’t forget to bring the self repair back, don’t forget it!!!
Thank you 
350hp, armor, Dmg reduction on shift and also being unable to hs him from the front, highest non ult dps ingame, good bouncing grenade that also work as movement, counters almost every tank, has no problem getting oneshot from widow/hanzo/tracer pulse bomb. He doesnt need anyting, hes good like he is rn. Maybe work on your aim and positioning so you dont get completely obliterated. I still cant figure out if this is a joke post or not, reaper wraith?? how would that make sense bro…
A tank who uses a ability can tank a single ability from 1 of the 2 dps? thats crazy op!!
this text deserves its own thread,
I laugh at bastion as a dive main.
but when bastion shoots my monkey bubble. I am a sad monkey and admit defeat.
No hero helps his team that fast, he also lasts longer than others, making him easier to peel against my dives.
He isn’t hard to beat (1v1) but he demands a lot of respect. His biggest strenght imho is positioning. And that can make or break him.
I agree, that buffs of this guy is too much. But, You said, Bastion can survive after headshot and tracer ult. But… Bastion has so huge hitbox greater than some tanks, but HP is not so big. Harder to miss attacking Bastion. I played on Bastion and Solider and I know it. Good Bastion able to kill GOOD solider ONLY in turret. You must to be aim’s god for killing 76 even with grenade but without gatling mode. Bastion has same problem like on OW1, it too strong on low ranks, and too weak on high ranks. For keeping Bastion alive all two supports must heal only its, ignoring others. I suggest getting back self repair but with movement penalty while repairing around 25%, reducing grenade max damage from 100 to 75. And maybe for balancing on high ranks allowing shooting while repairing (ONLY RECON FORM) but increasing turret cooldown from 12 to 14 or deviding gun’s fire rate by 2x while repairing (with penalty of course) but unsure about that. Maybe in 1v1 duels Bastion would be winner (due to turret), but in team games mostly dies firstly. And mostly useless without turret. Turret giving a space, but when it’s gone Bastion need to hidding in corners for don’t taking overdamage while allies playing more agressive. And in high ranks is MORE critical, cause it can’t reverting to fight after getting damage, need supports attention. So, repair which heals bastion for 60 per second, with penalty, grenade nerfing would make its more flexible and good I guess
