But I wish they listen to our requests to make him be moved for Tank Role. There are a lots of good concepts and ideas for it. Moving bastion for tank would be great for the game, helping to deflate the dps queue a little bit, and he would fit better on a role which his HUGE hitbox is not a problem. But I can’t feel them moving on this way yet… Bastion doesent need buffs, he needs a complete rework.
Yes, you have haha. I couldnt find your original post about your bastion rework concept, sorry. I dont know how to use the Forum well yet :c But your concept is the one what I like the most. Can you link it here? Btw, what do you think about the upcoming bastion changes that Jeff mentioned?
Moved to tank role, More specifically, he is a Bruiser
200 hp / 200 armor
Sentry mode
Damage against players reduced from 450 —> 300
Deals critical damage against Barriers for a 1.5x multiplier (450 DPS)
ironclad
Removed
New passive: Sonar
Every 4 seconds, a sonar ping is emited, it will reveal all enemy players in a 10m radius for 0.8 seconds
Performs a radar ping Noise if any enemy is detected the louder it is the closer the target is, and it will priorize warning you from targets behind you
New E ability: Configuration defense
Can be held for up to 2s (its a resource meter)
Frontal barrier that protects bastion with 200 hp
Regenerates after not beeing used for 2s, at a rate of 50hp/s
well i havent seen them yet but im afraid that they pull a reaper on him, buffing him in a way that doesnt fix his problem and only makes him OP in lower ranks
I’m afraid of that too… Hope they listen feedback from the right people. If we need to wait until OW2 to have a proper rework to him, I think we could wait. But buffing him to still a broken DPS, but stronger, is not the solution
