No, this is not a fleeting problem with sertain players having problems to adapt and counter bastion. It’s the very core of what Bastion is.
Look. No other hero forces Both teams to adapt for Bastion.
If one team has a phara, one dps might adapt to a hitscan or whatever, this is a balanced game, every hero has a few counter heroes so it should work out great.
Bastion is no exception, he is strong with whatever he does but can easily be countered…
This is not about that.
This is the pure frustration that BOTH teams are FORCED to ADAPT for a SINGLE hero!
No other hero has this effect.
This should not be the case, this causes for a very boring game!
I hate that hero, I don’t think he belongs in this game. There is no strategy, just boring boring. I refuse to play bastion myself, I hate that stupid hero.
I said this exact same thing and was immediately jumped on by a rather…unusual forum member who accused me of being deceptive and spreading misinformation about their favourite hero. Watch out for that, but for what it’s worth, I agree with you.
Bastion is a badly designed hero. He either sucks the fun out by being on the enemy team and your team hasn’t learnt how to deal with him and is a steamroll (lower ranks) or sucks the fun out by being on your team and requiring babysitting by the other 5 players.
Please remove or redesign from the ground up Blizzard
OP isn’t struggling to counter Bastion though, they’re complaining about how the hero sucks the fun out of matches because he rolls low rank players, and requires experienced players to babysit him…
Countering him isn’t the problem. Its what he does to lobbies that’s the problem. If people decide to play around him then the entire lobby has to commit to dealing with him and not the other parts of the game. His team puts all their resources into keeping him up and the enemy team HAS to play extremely coordinated to shut that down. The only person that ends up being fun for, if you can even call that fun, is the bastion. Its horrible design.
Cause that would cause an outcry from tank players (myself included)
But they would half to reduce the amount of ammo he got in turret form (just saying that could be one thing they could do)
But I do agree with you on that… he has enough health so slightly change that wouldn’t be that bad… that might also break the Double shield meta (hopefully… but replacing Sigma with a Bastion would create more issues)
I lost a QP game with Bastion on the other team (with a mercy pocket) on Eichenwalde (I was on attack ended up playing Tracer and pulse bombed him but Rezed right back… the Bastion was on defense) my team couldn’t even leave the spawn… They didn’t play around him persay but my team had a lot of chaos to deal with
In fact, my consideration is rework bastion with OW2 configuration. Giving bastion 100 more health, 600 barrier in sentry mode, reduce his damage a bit and remove ironclad. Because OW2 is single tank only, this config is easier for enemy team to counter bastion and make bastion handy for new player.
We ignored him. 
And did win.
