Why isn’t Bastion reworked yet? It should be obvious. Just rework bastion. My preference would be to give him a tazer. That would be good.

I dunno. I think he needs a rocket launcher with multiple firing options like missiles, rockets and blaster rounds!
Oh and mega armor
And shoulder mounted grenade launchers!

Imagine, you’re defending Eichenwalde and you see you’ve got a Bastion on your team. You sigh to yourself and resign yourself to playing protect the President.

Round Start
Bastion hits shift - but he doesn’t turn into an immobile turret. Oh, no. No no no. Quite the contrary, he jets off into the stratosphere. Baffled, both teams stop to watch him, as the robot rises ever higher. Bastion reaches his destination and reconfigures into his new Sentry Mode: an orbital laser cannon that has a bird’s eye view of the map.
I think you know what happens next.

The trouble, how do you rework him without destroying what he was made for.

BA DUM CHICK
I’ll see myself out
There are only two possibilities:
-
They are planning a rework pending OW 2 (which I hope for) or
-
They simply don’t care about the character for whatever reason
Its sad, he should be a very popular character with his lore and shifting ability but his Sentry mode, that noob object of fascination, ruins him and Blizz continues to let that bad niche design dominate his kit.
Let Bastion transform in a shooting car that teammates can ride on.

He needs to get Mercy’s wings.
He can valk as same as Mercy in or out turret mode!
I mean of 2+4=6 then bastion just need to get her wings!
Even better if 56-5=51 then Mercy’s pistol needs to be replaced with bastions turret!!
For the rest its the exact same Mercy just combined with bastion. Ow wil be finnely be perfect balanced!!
What if they were to (significantly) lower his DPS in sentry form, but allow sentry form to move, albeit not as quickly as scout form? In scout form, his gun is more powerful, but has fewer RPS and a short dropoff range.
Swap tank and sentry modes. Reduce tank damage and aoe a bit. Maybe make it so he has to go recon to reload. Turn sentry into a ult, where he has a limited time in the mode. Up the damage, maybe add back the shield from beta.
Reduce transmission times to increase mobility slightly. Activate ironclad immediately when using tank instead of 1.5 seconds later when the transmission is complete.
I mean, with that one Mei wall bug that screwed with gravity, you did occasionally see a turret form bastion lazily floating through the sky and raining fire upon you lol
