Bastion: Tank damage per shot reduced to 50 and clip of ten added with 2.5 second reload, and ironclad removed while in tank form. sentry clip size increased to 1000, falloff removed and damage per shot increased to 20, 1000 health shield added back to sentry form and ironclad buffed to 30% damage reduction. Sentry becomes bastion’s new ultimate lasting for 10 seconds instead of 8, and bastion can transform in and out of sentry at will during that duration (only to tank) using the shift key. Tank form becomes his new alt form, hence the nerfs to the damage.
my dream bastion rework, ofc the numbers probably are off but you get the idea, tank and sentry form switched so he’s not such a niche hero (obv should go in expiremental first to see if it works)
New hero: Overlord from MEKA as a new playable mech support hero

honestly bastion getting his shield back with no other changes would be overpowered, since he would have the second highest health barrier in the game.

Orisa needs equality. Winston’s bubble has 700 hp. Orisa’s has 600.

She wants to at least have a 700 hp shield like Winston’s.
Please don’t tell me Winston is smarter than Effie. :angry:

I wasn’t around for Bastion’s barrier, so I’m not sure how it worked, but I think it would make perfect sense to have it lower health than any barrier tank.

What a list! You must be terribly hard to satisfy for Christmas. :joy:

It had 1000 health and made bastion literally unbeatable in the beta, but with the current state of the game if they nerfed it and had that 60* turn limitation it might by feasable, with characters like sombra being introduced

When I was four I wanted a pony, and Santa the jolly red bastard actually brought me one.

I’ve been trying not to push my luck too far, but since the sharks for the shark pit in my volcano lair came in last year, I’m wondering if I should play it cool and ask for an airship or another dragon, or go all in and see what he can do about landing me a girl.

Mercy would probs need 60 HPS in addition to this or she’d be quite useless. Replacing rez with a meager cleanse is not a great trade-off.

Also I am weary of giving Mercy the only support cleanse while also nerfing Ana’s anti-heal by 50%.
