Zarya made pocketing even worse than before. Why was this obnoxious hero buffed again? The double shields was already bad enough and the obvious reason why her whole dmg needed to be retuned. Had nothing to do with 5v5. The design simply makes her too oppressive when our in the right position and now they doubled down on that with more bubble spam -_-

bastion is fine. if there is one change i would make itād be for his headshot hitbox to not move in relation his his camera angle while heās in assault mode. either that or limit his turn speed
Weirdly Iāve found the solution to Bastion is running right into his face as Junker Queen and beating him to pieces with an axe and a bowie knife.
I do understand that this may be an ELO-based solution and that the viability of āstrafeā probably falls off.
But man itās fun tanking a howitzer with the power of punk and abdominal muscles.
Honestly all theyād need to do to rein him in is to replace the armor repair on Assault mode with a slight boost to Ironclad to make him tankier after the initial 50 armor but not automatically grant him 50+ extra effective health and increase the CD to get into Assault mode. The buffs to nade could also get reverted but thatās besides the point I guess.
Bastion too tanky for the amount of damage?
Bastion too big for the amount of health?
and that is a bad thing why
Alone Bastion is easy to run over even in Sentry mode. If he gets pocketed, bubbled, you get booped or whatever itās suicide. Similar issue to Pharah Mercy where alone Pharah is super easy to deal with but with Mercy is like a whole different hero.
This is the most stupid type of āget goodā someone can bring into a discussion.
Iāma give an example to the extreme side of things, else you probably wonāt get it
Letās assume a patch comes tomorrow and Bastion gets his damaged buffed to 1k dps.
He still has whatever you wrote above, but would he be broken? Yes, because the numbers are too high.
Thatās what balance patches are most of the times, changing numbers, not how the kit works
And stop with these corny comments tryna look smart like everything is a skill issue by bringing up intentional design weaknesses when the issue stands in numbers, not the kit itself
Youāre stupid.
Itās 2023 and people still feel like itās okay to invalidate others opinions. This forum will be a lil sliver of time where nobody ever grows up ;D
Definitely agree with the post, itās sad how some heroes you can just dismiss but some are so dangerous your whole team needs to play around it,.strange balance philosophy
If he can tank so much burst damage punishing him becomes almost impossible.
Youād have to literally not play the game to not notice him right now.
Which makes me wonder how many on the forums actually play the game.
I dont get all the sudden bastion hate lol.
heās a worse soldier 76 60% of the time, is it really that hard to avoid him during his one useful cooldown
Nope, in GM. I donāt know what you rank you are, but judging by your comments Iām going to assume silver or gold. Bastion is overtuned currently, fact.
We all prefer a bastion meta than an oppressive hanzo one.
Have to call discord astroturf thread. Lame
lmao no he is not if you are good at the game Bronze player
It IS a skill issue.
Most complaints are from one tricks and those who canāt aim or pry themselves from playing like this is colonial warfare where they all line up behind a Barrier and exchange volleys of damage. In that situation, Bastion reigns supreme. You donāt have to fight that way but those whining players canāt seem to grasp anything beyond lining up behind Tanks and shooting at any target they can see. No priority targeting, no focus fire, definitely no cooldown awareness and definitely no counter switching.
Those are the stupid ones and those are the ones who:
I mean the thing about bastion is just how stupidly oppressive he is. And yes, I agree he is tanky, 300 hp, with it being partially armor, including 30% damage resis when heās transformed? And the fact you canāt headshot him unless you try to flank which is pretty much a death sentence? Good luck killing him.
āB-But you can just kill him when heās not transformed!!ā
Except when that happens heāll just back away behind his team so itās harder to kill him and use his stupidly overpowered grenade that doesnāt need aim and deals over 100 damage if it hits you. If you try to damage him heāll just get healed, heāll hide behind his teamās tank so you canāt do anything to him. Even if he doesnāt get kills in his transformed state, you still have to avoid his LOS so you donāt get melted. Your tank canāt do anything either. Itās impossible to try and flank when the entire enemy team is with him. A single character shouldnāt have this much control over the battlefield. Zaryaās barrier spam and Anaās stupid amounts of healing donāt help either.

āBite my shiny metallic a**!ā -Bastion alledgedly
Now that i think about it, Blizz pls give Bastion a Bender B. Rodriguez skin collab, that will be thousands times better than any anime
