Is Bastion Comp just too hard now?

Seems like Double Barrier bastion is just unfun to deal with and frankly very difficult for most teams/players.

Even if you can or do deal with the bastion setup, the team with bastion gained a ton of value with it before it was too late.

I even see this problem is Diamond and Master games.


Due to all the changes in the game, it seems like the Bastion setup has power crept its way up to the top. Because there are not a lot of choices to counter a bastion anchor setup, this has become one of the most difficult things in the game to deal with.

It’s not like you can go sym anymore to just lob balls through shields or anything. Unless your team all swaps around and happen to play specific heroes to counter Anchor bastion comp, the bastion team will gain tons of value.

So, has bastion just become one of those heroes where both teams may need a bastion to compete? Mobiliy is supposed to be another counter to this setup, but even that has become strikingly difficult. You can go sombra, but that is only if your damage player plays sombra and can communicate.

What double barrier Bastion? His pickrate is still horrible everywhere.

Bastion is mostly not worth using, but he does have a niche. He is capable of doing massive damage and often securing a kill before dying. A common myth is that he needs Orisa to work. This is not true; I’ve run pirate ship Bastion with Sigma/Hammond and won.

Yea, we just ran a Bastion with sigma and zarya and it worked fine.

Because bastion was on high ground on average, the enemy team simply struggled even when trying to dive.

Like, the other team has to seriously do a lot just to combat a bastion compared to any other setup.

Well, unless its Sig/Orisa,Mei/Sym lol

What you means? Bastion has Awful Pickrates and Winrates. You can Counter him with Boops Heroes if there Double Shield…

If your asking for Bastion nerfs OP the answer is NO. He needs a rework pretty badly though since he’s so bad.
