just saw an old video post launch but still it could be fun.
i’m just at a point where who cares if bastion is balanced, though i am getting used to bastion having infinite uptime
Bastion is inherently broken (I hope that’s the right word). Because what’s the purpose of playing bastion? It’s to tank bust. As long as he is designed that way, he probably will never be balanced and eventually get the zenyatta treatment.
His hitbox is huge, so his HP can’t be nerfed either. But having a large hitbox also makes it easier for him to get healed by supports like baptiste. They can’t really nerf bap’s healing either, because he needs to heal his tank. So it’s an unsolvable problem especially in 5v5.
In 6v6, bastion made more sense as a tank buster since there were two tanks with large health pool.

Winston: Um! Excuse me! Bastion? May I pkay the game now? No…oh okay. I’ll go back to spawn, I guess…
No shields for dps.
Already hard enough to deal with a Bastion.
Bastion became broken because they inditevtly buffed his survivability (the armor changes stacking with dr made his defense go from 36% dr to 50% while he has armor. Massive boost)
And you want him to become even more survivable?
What was not mentioned in that Barrier Bastion video:
While he is unstoppable in that form. He was also rooted and can only aim 45 degrees from his facing direction at time of deployment. So no 360 degree range of motion. You were commited to a sightline.
