Would he be OP if they brought that ability back for him?
Probably
I think it would be. He used to only be able to turn 180° when he had that, if I’m not mistaken.
You are correct. This made Pharah very dangerous for him.
Not really in all honesty. With a few tweaks and restricting his turn radius again, he’d be in a extremely viable spot, up there in the A-tier for sure.
People are too stubborn for a change like this despite the fact Bastion is stupidly easy to kill and a Tracer/Genji would annihilate him, as usual since they’re counters regardless.
I dont know how would this affect the pirate ship.
You could flank the payload from behind. So bastion would be less viable in payload attack maps.
Actually, here’s an idea:
Give Bastion shield when in Sentry mode.
Reduce Bastions health in Sentry mode.
Idea is to make sentry mode weaker against attacks that can get trough/around shield, while making Bastion stronger against most attacks.
I have no idea if this is good idea, someone tell me if i’m wrong.
