What if… instead of this bland passive, Bastion had a deployable defensive ability… yep… another shield… or some sort of self-defensive capability on his E then got his other changes reverted, maybe headshots? not so sure on the headshot portion, specially if he has the E on the Recon form…
Would kinda work like say Briguitte’s shield, only deployable for him and maybe turned him around so that his crit-box is protected or not, he couldnt shoot but if you are good enough you can track the best source of damage and protect yourself for some time then retaliate, not so sure on the numbers or how exactly it would work but thats the simple portion of the idea.
I feel that Bastion atm is way too bland and some change is needed, maybe even take away his healing as well but include some sort of skill-oriented ability that you can do every once in a while, i never pick Bastion or anyone really other than wanting to win on Junkertown or something, he can be problematic for low-ranked people because of the lack of coordenation but other than that hes just way too simple, a turret, wow.
So what do you think of a shield-like ability for Bastion or any other E ability instead of this passive he has and/or his healing?

They should nerf Tank and make it the E ability, then make the ultimate an overclock that buffs all 3 modes

They should also rework self-repair into a new mode were he AOE heals allies that stand on him. Then he can be a traforming hero that plays each role.
Recon mode = offense
Sentry mode = defense
Tank mode = tank
Repair mode = support

Make E over clock but if he holds for to long he starts taking dmg
If you want a shield then give it only 50 - 150 HP shield, because I don’t want a Bastion that has 300-600 Shield, making him slightly-tank and slightly DPS
Could be problematic, tho without the passive and he has to actually hold the shield i dont think it would be that broken, tho a bit too… uninspired i suppose, just another shield-bearer, Rein and Baguette might be enough as it is, tho he(it, wot is Bastion) should really get some defensive abilities, maybe tie a 35-40% damage reduction to his healing?.. or something cooler idk.
What’s wrong with 300? 300 would already break pretty fast. I’d imagine 150 being almost worthless considering most heroes who counter him can oneshot it or kill it almost instantly.
I really, really like this idea

I dont know, depends on how this overclocking works, feels a little Valkyrie to me as in boring somewhat, tho having Tank-mode as an ability sounds kinda cool for mobility purposes.
I have a thread on that idea Bastion rework idea
It provides buffs to all modes but since he’s a dps it’s used for mauling the enemy rather than passively floating over your team.
Thats a good rework, tho i feear it might be a bit too out there for them, tho i love the added skill-ceiling i dont really like the “just make everything better” flavor on ultimates…
Well, it’s more fun than Valk because instead of using it passively to support your team you’re using it actively to maul the enemy. There’s nothing better than watching heroes panic use abilities and die anyways (Like Road hook vs Overclocked sentry assuming the change ever happened. Currently it’s when a DF tries to RP sentry.)
Poor ol DF, that matchup is horrendous… tho i suppose that its still more fun than Valk, even tho Valk is used offensively some times cuz infinite ammo… i still see sort of a lack of flavor to it… its just… the same ol abilities, just… BETTER!.. idk.
I just imagined a bastion jumping a wall , switching to sentry and melting everyone.
I. WANT. THIS.

The faster swap and all modes effected is like switching from Mercy’s healing beam to damage beam to pistol except all of them decimate enemies.
Its more like all of them are a bit more tanky tho… i get where you’re coming from 
Well, they have to be or he’ll be dead. They let you go murder all the things without having to worry so much about dying.
