I’m working on a Bastion Rework

That is a good idea, but when talking to Bastion players in the past, they really like sentry as it is. I want to keep their hero the way they know and love them, but still make him a more viable option.

I am guessing you want Bastion to be more self sufficient.

Please read my post before commenting on it.

• Make Bastion less of a niche pick. His current state makes it so that he is a detriment to your team unless you play around him
• Dont disenfranchise the current Bastion players. There are many players happy with his current state, and a full overhaul would severely disappoint them and possibly make them lose interest in the game
• Encourage movement and repositioning more. A hero like Bastion is out of place in a game like Overwatch, and shouldn’t be encouraged to sit in one place in a game full of mobility
• Increase the skill floor and skill ceiling of the hero. His performance in lower ranks is really good and his performance in upper ranks is pretty lackluster. Make him a more skillful hero to play to reduce frustration in lower ranks while making him more rewarding in upper ranks

The point isn’t necessarily to make him more self-sufficient, but rather to increase the skill floor and ceiling. I’m adding buffs while providing compensation nerfs.

I do, however, think that Bastion should be more self sufficient. A team comp that HAS to center around one hero is, at least IMO, unhealthy for the game.
