Hey, asked for my dream patch notes. I hate that hero. So much.
I’m a tank player and I play all 7. Mostly a main tank. He counters them all so hard. He makes tanking awful. With him and against him. He’s the one hero that I feel totally reliant on teammates to deal with. I usually just switch to hanzo and tell my team someone else can main tank if they want to. If someone on my team locks bastion I refuse to play orisa or rein even tho she’s my strongest hero (comparative to other players, I’m better on monkey because he’s just a harder carry) and my orisa stats on overbuff are top 200
Some tanks are good against him like hog and dva but you can’t do it alone. He forces solo que-ers to play together and they just don’t.
Worse, my friends I play with, they won’t just play hanzo when they have a bastion. Our dps main still plays genji and ignores the bastion. They are so used to me main tanking without asking for help and constantly helping them as our group main tank. But against a bastion is the one time I absolutely need help to do anything and they won’t do it for me so I just get triggered and stop playing.
People think brig hard counters tracer? Please. Bastion hard counters every main tank MUCH harder.
If bastion ever becomes meta I will stop playing the second the patch notes come out.
