It’s REALLY hard to heard 5 others to deal with the cheesy setup. Any SIMPLE ways that a sub 2k crew can understand?
i easily remove bastion from the game as
genji
torbjorn
solider 76

What i’ll usually do is put mei’s ice wall below them so they’re without their barrier.
Of course this requires your teammates to shoot him a bit too but it’s no different then the cooperation of a bastion plus his shield tanks so it’s fair.
Don’t forget about hanzo.
Sombra, Junkrat suicide and Hanzo dragons are good for it. Genji flanking and jumping in front with deflect also works.
I miss the days of old Tracer pulse bomb, it could easily eliminate this cheesy stupid strat.
Junkrat, Roadhog, Hanzo, maybe Sombra. Use cooldowns to burn the shield. Roadhog alone can keep Orisa’s shield destroyed or pressure it enough to force them to move. Eventually Roadhog will get a hook through
It’s less about having one hero that run up to him and just straight up kill him out of nowhere and more of a team effort. Dive them with the entire team while D.Va using matrix or genji deflect is usually pretty solid. You can use various heroes such as Sombra, Rein, Road Hog, Mei and so on just to get him out of sentry mode, block his view so your team can get close and similar… And yeah, you obviously have the ultimate approach with Hanzo dragons and such.
But again, running up alone to 6 heroes isn’t the greatest idea, at very best it’s a suicide mission. Engaging in a choke and/or from high ground with your entire win pretty much always win you the fight.
Also even if you don’t win it getting rid of the Bastion of the payload if you are able to re-group faster than he can set up on the payload again also render him kind of useless and win you the game.
If you dive him with dva and Winston at the same time, he’s toast. Just defense matrix on top of him and pummel him with rockets and cannons while Winston tasers him. Or just dva bomb the payload. Or having rein surprise charge him from a flank works as well. Other than those, lots of strategies that people above me have already posted. There are tons of ways to stop bastion, most involve at least 2 people on your team working together. But people don’t know how to work together in low elo, which is why bastion is so strong in low elos.
Zarya is good against him tho, because you can get to 100 energy pretty easily by bubbling whoever he attacks or draw his fire and bubble yourself. His rof is so fast that he pretty much can’t stop firing fast enough to avoid giving you max energy if you bubble whoever he is attacking
Junk kamikaze is literally unstoppable unless widow picks you. Sometimes it’s OK to die if you know Mercy isn’t going to rez him instantly. And if it’s Orisa you can usually get her too.
For those days when Tracer countered bastion…
Now it’s Mei.
She naturally counters Rein and she can lift off bastion. A roadhog is useful to hook in the lifted Bastion.
An EMP.
tracer or junkrat ult is best one man solution, well junk can bounce off nades without being seen and its typically an orisa shield which junk can melt ez so junkrat is definetly easiest no ults needed counter vs orisa+bastion+mercy combo.
and Zenyatta. The moment that shield is down (some volleys) you just mash discord on him and bam. dead Bastion.

not sure about zen cause orisa’s shield will be off cooldown by that point.
Not if you burst it down fast, if you got a Hanzo too this shouldn’t be an issue
or yknow. flank and kill orisa
The easiest/most consistent way to do it in low ranks is probably just to spam the shield down.
I recommend running hog/orisa/hanzo/some other high dps hero. Those three should be able to break both rein shield and orisa shield, with a little bit of careful peeking
