He’s useless as a damage character unless you have a good team composition. I don’t have any ideas at the moment, but if you have any suggestions please reply.

Well, they could for him back his deployable self-barrier, but reduce his turning angle to only 60° to the left and right

There’s a top 500 Bastion one trick in console who’s going to switch to PC in less than a month, once he reaches top 500 there I will be sure to remind you in this post.

It’s not actually that good of an idea.
Bastion works far better to make the hero LESS like a tank, one of the most despised aspects is how you “have to play him in a bunker” well that’s not an inherent part of his design, that was ADDED almost a year after the game was released.
They nerfed Bastion’s (initial) spread so that initial sentry damage was so low almost every hero could win duels with Sentry by just exploiting range. Sentry didn’t have the mobility to get close and needed to stay far away to avoid things like Hog’s Hook.
Then they compensated for this nerf with 20% ironclad which by itself obviously doesn’t work. Initial spread was now over a 6x larger area yet damage received had only gone down 20%. How was this supposed to work?
The only way it could work was to have ironclad stack with armour so overall damage reduction was very high. This meant as much as 60% total damage reduction but healing wasn’t reduced so healing was relatively much more effective.
Also over-reliance on barriers, Orisa was launched at around the same time, but her barrier was then nerfed to oblivion.
Bastion used to be in a pretty good state, Bastion worked as a DPS hero.
The problem was only really with headshots in sentry mode, that was a problem as it could melt Rein from max HP in only 0.6sec. That’s way too fast considering without headshots it’s 1.33sec. That’s ALL they needed to remove.

Same, I prefer switching to a better hero.

Oh yeah he did reach T500 on his smurf account, I’m not too sure about his main account but he probably did reach T500 there as well.
Here’s his Twitch account: Twitch
Make sombra a support. Make genji a tank. Make roadhog a dps.
If Blizz gave Orisa hitscan gun, then it would be a remade Bastion.
i have an idea for bastion i was thinking a more fire support role what if we altered bastions turret with a heat system so the longer he fires the more heat he builds eventually over heating but he also fires faster the hotter his gun gets i would also add tank mode to reconfigure more based around rocket jumping like soldier from tf2 in a way in crease fire rate by a factor of two but reduce damage by a factor of three tank mode so how the reconfigure would work recon to tank to sentry back to recon if you double tap you shift to the one after the next say your in tank double tap to go back to recon or tap once to go sentry onto the ultimate i was thinking of ultimate’s based around his modes but once activated he cant reconfigure till its over for recon i was thinking his mini gun would raise to his shoulder giving him extra fire power at the cost of speed sentry heat effects still applies for sentry i was thinking he would project a sort or one way barrier like mays ice wall but only players can pass through can pass through as players pass through their weapons are rusted so to speak for a few seconds reducing thier damage out put for tank i was thinking big rail gun bastion anchors down like a siege tank takes aim unleashing a powerful 750 damage shot capable of penetrating’s shields and players but not terrain once one ultimate is used all get reset to recharge basically pick the right tool for the job thank you for your time
