Which was a pretty big change, and they also took some of its HP.
They can do the same for Sentry, make it limited, make it better against barriers, revert the spread and headshot change.
But why make it limited? Sentry isn’t an ability, why would they limit it? Again, like putting Mercy’s staff on a cooldown…

Im 100% sure is an ability
And I’m 103% sure it’s not. Go look at his abilities, zero of them say “Configuration: Sentry”
Reconfigure is an ability, Sentry is not

Is basically the same mate, just like Genji having wallclimb and double jump in one passive.
Besides Mercy staff is a second weapon, just like Torbs hammer.
Sentry mode is a second weapon. That’s what I’m getting at. It’s his primary weapon, Recon’s gun is his secondary weapon.
If they want to “limit Sentry”, then just encourage Recon more. Right now, the player is pretty much discouraged from using Recon because of Ironclad. If they rework Ironclad into something besides a passive damage resist, and then give that to Recon mode as well, then people will use it a lot more because they don’t feel like they’re losing health to move around.

If it was a second weapon then it shouldnt require an ability to enter in it, and Hack wouldnt affect it
Having it on scroll would be very clunky

The problem is that they made Sentry into a situational tool without making the rest of his kit into something worth using outside of that situation. There’s no situation where a player may think “We could really use a Bastion outside of Sentry form.”
It’s like if Mei only had Ice Wall and an SMG like Bastion’s. Yeah there are moments where that wall can be really useful, but it’s rarely worth using up a character slot if they bring little else to the table.
bastion punishes stupid teams.
It is enough 1 shield tank to work around him and he becomes unstoppable when no one but 1 person has the brain to focus him.
countering him with another bastion usually doesn’t work because your team has already switched to non shield tank due to being melted (assuming anyone has picked one on the first place)

Bastion is complete utter garbage over plat , you need grandmaster tracking + 1 year gamesense to be able to get out of plat. without takng in consideration the guys that will go 6 dps , throw or just leave cause you picked bastion
He’s WORSE than what people say. I’m in bronze, where Bastion is supposedly at his strongest, but he’s almost as bad as he would be in plat.
The low teir metas hard counter Bastion, and it’s not hard for most players at my rank to outplay a turret.

Sentry is a MAJOR part of bastion , sentry needs to be BUFFED not NERFED
Make pirate ship even more powerful then it already is and making him impossible to counter when the comp is build around him, OK
Pirate ship only works on dumb teams
Zero mobility.
Surprisingly frail.
A large hitbox.
Damage numbers that appear impressive on paper, but translate poorly in practice due to horrid spread and most heroes’ twig-shaped hitboxes.
Yeah he’s pretty terrible.
Unless you use a Mei…
Or a Torb…
Or a Junkrat…
Or a Pharah…
Or a Hanzo…
Or a Widow…
Or a Sombra…
He is pretty bad
She has to be nerfed or Mercy needs he dmg boost removed
He will get nerfed most likely
She does nothing when Bastion has like 3 barriers
Only her EMP, and having someone like Torb or Sym makes really hard for her to hack
Junk is still pretty good… not as good as he was before they needlessly nerfed him, and he could still use a revert for that, but he’s not bad. Especially against a Bastion. Just hide behind a wall and lob grenades from where the Bastion can’t see you.
Pharah doesn’t really need nerfs, and Mercy certainly doesn’t need damage boost removed unless they’re planning to give something like it to someone else.
He hasn’t been yet.
Good ones do. Her job is to get good angles on the enemy team.
Okay, so run one of the other billion characters if they counter Sombra. Seeing a Bastion+Torb is fairly rare though, as Bastion is usually paired with a more consistent DPS to actually get the kills.

Torb just go a massive buff he will see more play, and if Bastion gets buffed too it will be a nightmare
