Re-add Bastion’s self heal ability. Its unique and does make Bastion a more appealing hero to play.

Hell Yeah! Self Healing with him was great fun, it meant you didn’t need a medic 24/7 and i feel it was healthy. Annoying when he self heals and gets a pocket but good for his design TBH.

Yep, for his pocket situation. They can make it so that bastion can’t shoot while healing himself.

Why did they remove his self heal, anyway? Were there people complaining about it?

Bastion is more independent nowadays and doesn’t need a self heal when he’s no longer spending half a match immobile. If he needs anything right now its a removal of the self damage from his grenade

Probably just one of those abilities they felt didn’t really fit with his newfound mobility. That, and his grenade took the place of the self-heal.

Return self repair. Nerf it and grenade. Now we got good version of Bastion, which playable on high ranks, but not so OP on low ranks

I’d honestly prefer for grenade to not get nerfed. But overall, I do agree. Encouraging more self-play is always a good thing.
It encourages for teammates to make plays or for teammates to perform while at a disadvantage. It might promote less toxicity since an individual isnt too reliant on teammates.
He doesn’t need the self heal in his current kit and the out of combat healing passive. I agree with Electro though that grenade not doing self damage would be nice.

But Solider also does have “active” self heal. He more mobile, his hitbox smaller and damage juicy enough. Why big, slow Bastion not able to get even nerfed self-repair? Solider’s set feels unfair for Bastion

Bastion also has turret mode which is, I believe, the highest amount of sustained DPS in the game. It’s a trade off. Bastion isn’t Soldier and Soldier probably needs a slight damage nerf IMO.
In OW1 Bastion couldn’t shoot while healing either

Said no one ever lol
OK - that’s a buff.
So what do you propose to nerf or take away to keep him balanced? It has to be something significant that will hurt a lot, because self- heal is really good.
Couldve sworn i seen clips of bastion shooting while healing himself
Doesnt need one. Maybe he shouldnt be able to heal while in turret form but thats about it.
Currently Bastion’s main usefulment is on turret. It’s like glass canon, when others can able play more freely. And small mobile heroes are appreciated more. In low rank Bastion really good, cause people don’t know how play rightly, how counter each hero. But if they know, you really can’t do too much. Mostly you common issue is your hero’s vulnerability. You can’t able to survive like others. That’s why it need repair

That’s was only on some patche on experimental mode in last days of OW1. I clearly remember that.
Bastion there did have 100 recon’s ammo, was able to repair when shooting and no longer did have turrer mode. And hitbox size was slightly decreased

he alerayd has a form of a self heal via the dps passive
I don’t think he needs a self-heal. That would just make bunker comps more powerful which I don’t think the majority of the playerbase wants to play into.
It would essentially make him back to his OW1 base kit…except he’s mobile now at the low trade-off of not self-healing. That doesn’t seem like a good change, especially with the healing passive and debuff passive.
