Oh my god, I’m not trying to be too harsh but you really need to start accepting that this new rework is final. You’re literally breaking down over a rework you haven’t even tried yet. Just try it out and see if you like it or not. Just because bastion isn’t a mess anymore doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. I’d be upset if they changed core parts of one of my mains, but I’d still be open to trying out what they changed.
Oh my god, I’m not trying to be too harsh but you really need to start accepting that people can feel strongly towards something without you needing to berate and degrade them over it.
The hero’s current design is fundamentally flawed. There is no way to make stationary killbot not either oppressive or chopped liver. These changes do need to happen. And they’re going to happen. He was too weak in those matches and I’m sure they’ve buffed it since then. But he is never going to have a good future if they never adjust him.
I’ve played him plenty of times in Mystery Heroes. It doesn’t take more than 5 seconds to realize his effective range. So you’re “do you play the hero” card is pointless. It amounts to literally nothing. Of course I’ve played him before. And just because Widow has greater efefctive range doesn’t change the fact that Bastion has very long range in his Sentry mode. Maybe you thought I meant recon mode and your brain couldn’t comprehend it.
You’re the only one here being a jerk to everyone.
Yea… clearly you still don’t get it. You’re just telling me to “Try it and it’ll be fine lol”
Yea you would be upset, but you’re telling me not to be? What a hypocritical stance.
This just in, we’re not allowed to have or share opinions, according to this person.
As a player of the game for six years, and someone who particularly enjoys an element of it, I, a Bastion player, am singled out and berated because I’m sharing opinions.
“Give their take” Aka, silence my own views by “Correcting” them.
Aka, Chibi’s views are just not hitting the mark of my own, so… try again? “Because of course I don’t play the hero, but my stance is correct.”
Yes, I get that people disagree with me… but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be allowed to share my own opinions, or call out when people troll and flame me for it.
In your mind Bastion can hit you at any range, and deal insane damage, at all times…
In reality, as a player of the hero… he is WEAK. Weaker than you seem to begin to grasp.
No one’s saying you can’t share your opinion. People just aren’t agreeing. Disagreeing with your opinion doesn’t disallow you to have your opinion.
Well now I’m being gaslit. How can you take what I said and come up with “at any range”. And you seem to be thinking that his damage is awful. True it’s not the fully insane 500 at a longer range, but it’s still damn effective at long ranges. And we know he’s weak, but not because of his damage, at all. Because he can not move when in Sentry form. Which is what this rework aims to fix.
You’re living in a bubble. People hate him both because he ultimately sucks in a match of skilled players and because he’s cheap as hell in a match full of people who aren’t that. And odds are, those people are getting killed a lot more than once. Where have you been all these years? These are not new complaints involving Bastion.
This is something that he does not need. In any form, period. As a player of the hero, this is disgusting in concept, and I cannot see it working without Sentry being worse than Tracer without blinks… and that’s exactly what they did.
Well I guess I brought all the trolls here, and I have no more reason to talk to anyone or have real discussions because no one wants to discuss the hero or the meanings behind the parts of the hero that are being removed, and no one wants to discuss from the standpoint of playing the hero…
They nerfed Bastion’s sentry damage to give him a barely-there movement speed. Like, Bastion’s whole thing is that he relies on sentry mode to deal burst damage, since his primary doesn’t–if both modes deal roughly the same damage, and one of them slows you to a crawl, what’s the point?
You haven’t even played the game and you’re basically calling for a fainting couch.
But you’re absolutely right: I don’t know how you’ll be able to bring yourself to play OW2 if this Bastion goes live…I just don’t know how you’ll do it. We all pray that you will be able to muster the strength when the time comes.
Literally Sentry doesn’t matter in Overwatch 2, and Recon wont function as a self defensive measure… and without self healing, you’ll be removed from the match five feet from spawn every since time you respawn.
