Buff Bastion; The weakest hero in the game

General Discussion

And you do for jumping to the conclusion that you are objectively right. Where’s your 2 megathreads against him?

22

You have no trouble killing him and yet think he’s fine?

23

Actually he was meta in early dive I believe.
And just because torb is bad doesnt mean bastion isn’t
Also torbs getting reworked

24

Torbjorn is already being reworked so people are talking about the worst undressed hero.

25

Like I said, an ignored Bastion is a dangerous Bastion.
If I see a Bastion taking out my team mates, I’m going to try to get rid of him or he’s going to continue to pick people off.

26

Bastion is never ignored. The only time he might ever be ignored, is still almost never.

My Perfect “Rework” Would be this:
(I may add to, and change this later)

  • Sentry spread reduction.
  • Ironclad removed.
  • 100 ammo removed from sentry.
  • Transformation times Slightly Increased… just a little. Tiny. Bit.
  • Headshot damage in Sentry mode enabled.
  • (An amount of) Armor given while in Tank mode.
  • Sentry now deploys a 400/600 health shield, that can only regenerate while out of sentry mode.

INB4 you say: “Why would you suggest that?? Lul you just want a op hero.”

I have put a Year and a half Of thought into that conclusion… And that’s the most basic rework i can come up with.

No “Micro rockets”
No Q on E and E on Q (Unless we go for a complicated rework, then it might even work)

And NO Over Buffs like Spamzo got.

reduced spread headshots and a shield is probably asking too much. Just decreasing his spread might leave room for a shield but people don’t like shields in general.

Yes. which is why i called that the most basic “rework” i could come up with… just a basic reduction would be too close to a revert for some…

But headshots lower spread and a shield isn’t basic at all. That’s a massive change.

More massive than Tank on E? :kissing_cat:

I’m really trying here… And at least that’s more than Blizzard has done.

32

I mean massive in one single aspect of his kit, all sentry.

33

The only problem I have with that is that the reload takes SO long, leaving bastion too much of an easy target. If that happened maybe a shorter reload?

34

Well… If the shoe fits…

It’s literally the worst part of the entire hero now… i just… will NOT Settle for another “Recon Rework”, with a tiny tweak to sentry… That’s what got us here.

35

Well, it would actually help balance everything… He’d be stronger, and… His reload would make sense again.

It allows a small window for counter play, against an already set up Bastion…
And the Bastion would actually have to regulate ammo again… i HATE This “Spray and pray” Thing, people think we do now.

(I don’t think it was ever changed… was it? Am i going crazy?)

36

It’s just he already has enough counter play tbh.
Remember iron clads being removed.
Maybe a 0.5s shorter reload?

37

Perhaps… i was also considering this in the context of the shielded Bastion concept… which would need Small counter play… As it is, being unprotected is instant death anyways.
(For the Bastion…)

38

Road hog should have 300 health.

39

Bastion should deal critical damage while in turret form, but multiplier should be 1.25x-1.5x, not 2x.

Oh true I guess he would have shield, Maybe try the 200 ammo and see how he does. If he still isn’t good buff him.
