This poll is to tell how many people want a change to Bastion. The size or strength of the hypothetical change does not matter. Do you think he needs a change at all, even a small one?
If you voted yes here are 2 more polls created by PharahHǝntoi to vote on what changes you think need to happen
As someone who has started 1 tricking bastion on 1 of my alts I’d have to agtee and say he does need a buff.
While overall I think he is indeed weak, I’ve been thinking for potential buffs for different assests of his character.
I haven’t come up with much but here is something I thought of to make his ult better-
Either-
let him move while transforming to tank
Let him heal while transforming to tank
Maybe both?
Or let him do rocket jumps w/ no Damage taken… I mean he’s wasting a potential kill in hopes of getting better positioning w/ the few shots he has left in ult
This was the suggestion I made in the old thread, not sure if it’s good or not. I was just thinking about how I could enhance the playstyle of the successful solo Bastions that I’ve seen, but I don’t play Bastion nor do I look at much of his gameplay footage, so I’m not sure if this would be a good idea. I’m sure an actual Bastion player could suggest better.
Overwatch is about being able to play multiple heroes and adapt… and if your high skill heroes are outshined by low skill heroes then what is the point of them even being an option?
It’s like… look, if the skill ceiling of OW players of Overwatch was low enough that a Bastion one-trick could make it onto OWL, teams could probably make it work. But realistically… people are willing to work harder than that to win and I think that’s something people should think about every time they ask for a buff to a hero.
Oh yeah I remember it was a remote mine similar to Junkrat’s tire mixed with Reaper’s ult. I don’t remember if it was remote detonated like an RC-XD or if it was an actual mine.
Why are
widow,mccree,tracer,genji,lucuo,ana,solider,winston,D.Va,and many more an option being that in most cases they are outshined by lower skill heros?
Also ‘about being able to play multiple heros and adapt’
Who said I have to play multiple heros to be able to adapt in game about having fun?
Or use me as an example. I have 3 mains, and the supports and tanks follow their lead. I know how to adapt, but virtually Bastion is not viable to the point where the only adaptation needed it to overlook him as a hero, period.
Delorean is just delusional in not knowing that Bastion sucks not because the Bastion players/mains don’t know how to switch (a la because Bastion is being countered/ineffective), but rather that he as a hero is weak in every situation you put him im, to the point where his only relevancy is 1 meta on 1 point on 1 map and people still find a way to hate him.
As a bastion player, and in my opinion, his biggest drawback is lack of mobility. He has a huge hitbox, an ‘ok’ recon gun that needs a competent level of aim to be proficient in. He’s a sitting duck in turret form, and easily divable.
More armor, or less spread is not going to fix his core issue. He either needs a dodge roll in both recon, and turret form, or a type of ‘shield’ to mitigate his lack of getaway options
This isn’t a bad thing if his damage means something. Right now, it doesn’t, but I can assure you that mobility is not why he’s weak currently. It’s his RNG based damage.
