Bastion’s high damage is the reason he is unplayable

I don’t have the time to sit around reading megathread after megathread. I’m talking in a very general sense. You cannot give a hero buffs without giving them nerfs to compensate, this is how we ended up with current Hanzo. From what I’ve seen, it’s only buff suggestions without nerfs to go along with them.

You do realised bastion was nerfed, so now its a high time to buff him.

Plus you dont have any idea about bastion from what i read if you want to go with nerfs before buffs.

If only the game had real flanking routes instead of converging 90% of their level design into single chokepoints.

And Hanzo was a troll pick before his rework, now he’s in every game and not running him puts your team at a distinct disadvantage.

Nope, I want them to go through at the same time.

Jeff said himself that hanzo will even become a must pick.

When Talking actual Balance, Others disagree with you.
(that same person was suggesting we nerf Bastion even harder, Until we talked about it for a while. i even ended up changing their mind about the entire situation, because they were open to the possibilities of it, without just assuming Bastion=strong, Strong=do not like.)

No he doesn’t need a rework. What he should get is reduced spread and headshots back, like before.

Now you’re just being unnecessarily provocative.

Your response to me provided nothing to the conversation, be careful calling the kettle black, pot.

That’s fine? Did I say something to the contrary?

His whole point is having sentry as a non ult.

I think the main reason are so adamantly against buffing (or at least the like 2 people in this thread) are because they’re getting PTSD flashbacks to cheese comps.

Keep in mind originally Bastion was F-tier, but he was a pub-stomper. When I first started playing Bastion was the hero that terrfied me (I’ma Reinhardt main so my #1 rule was “Never charge a bastion”).

Bastion always has a “Protect the President” defense around him, and people don’t like fighting that because it requires you to work together (which is harder than it seems). It also doesn’t even really take much effort because of the natural synergy that Bastion has with Shields. Even if you gave him the Beta shield back it would just make it worse because then they would Shield stack.

Bastion does need buffs (as I think he has the lowest pickrate or is at least competing with Sombra for it), but it’s hard to think how I would. Probably just give headshots back at least, even if he had to keep the spread.

What does that mean? I’ve never heard that saying.

:wink::ok_hand:
I’ll leave you all with that, If you wish to find me… I’ll be discussing Balance, if one of our Megathreads.
[Bastion is being forgotten]
[💔 Bastion ISN’T being forgotten, he’s being ignored]

They really can be quite the informative places, if… Anyone wishes to discuss there.

Do you always resort to trolling when you have nothing constructive to say?

No, i guess Terran has literally never heard that saying… It’s not very common in some places.

<.< He’s not the one trolling here either…

It’s not trolling I’ve never heard that saying ever.

He is still a problem in ranks below gold, barrierwatch and pirate ship can be really troublesome for a lot of players who insist on going head on or just in levels where there is no other way to reach the objective, that is, levels which have a single chokepoint.

Yeah, wanting nerfs to go along with buffs, what a trollish thing to advocate for.

You are one special and sensitive to opinions person.

Ok, instead of arguing, what would you do as to change in bastion?
