About your quote.
about the first one, I can tell that in bronze bastion has a ratio of 1,86% which is terrible low. but thats overbuff and i can tell you he is at least in 50-60% of the matches I had, bad luck i guess. In quickplay theres something i call āthe bastionā card, when people play bastion just when they are losing and ā¦they liked more to play another character butā¦they rpefer to win even if is quickplay, no matter what.
I respect your opinion of course and you know more about bastion than me, but a lot of people prefer to play something else. In first person shooters usually is a bad mechanci that you do not have control about your character, also been stationary even with a lot of characters that are highly mobileā¦can fly etcā¦ feels underpowered (at least for some).
So his pickratio is not representative of him been underpowered, but maybe that his gameplay can be boring for some and too team dependable for others.
And about the second quote, I can point you to someone that played at pro level and basically said that āwhy I would not play bastion?, basically cause I want to show off and justify why Im there, and so I do not play considered low skilled charactersā.
Im taking about people with such level that want to show off to be picked and selected for a team (yes thatā¦0.0001%?) ,
Once in a team, sure you can do everything you need to win (like that pirate ship in owl etc).
About metas. Im a casual player i do not pretend to know what works better or how to play a composition. Im a bad player that moved between gold and bronze up and down. Like most of the people in overwatch.
I can tell you that a bastion behind a shield in defense is something Ive seen for 3 years. it got exhausting. I hardly have seen a nice coordinated dive meta,ā¦been a support hardly experienced that meta, but compositions alike.
I cannot say ive seen GOATS in action, same dealā¦needed coordination people not solo joining together andā¦playing that way.
But theres a META ive seen as the easiest strategy to win in quickmatch and competitive low elos. the bunker meta. And yes, I call it a meta cause is the most effective way to win a match. low risk, high reward.
