I've heard people say that Bastion should be playable without a shield so

I want Roadhog to be playable without a shield tank too.

2

At least roadhog…

  • Can move.
  • Has HUGE Damage reduction/Healing.
  • Has a huge healthpool already.

-.-

Oh, and a literal HOOK To bring your enemies closer to your shotgun, We just have to snipe with ours.

Why does one buff instantly mean every other hero in the game needs a buff

But if Roadhog doesn’t have a shield tank, he feeds like crazy. Whenever I get into a topic about Hog balancing, someone eventually says that you need a shield tank first before Hog is viable.

They say the same about Bastion.

actually, they say you need a shield, Dedicated healer, And solo rez pocket.

and the sad part?
That’s the only way to be useful as Bastion. ;-;

i got the solution!!

make bastion into an actual tank ( like an off tank orisa and have sentry mode be able to move within a time limit like hanzo storm arrow, also changing the damage values for balance)

and make roadhog into a dps ( old roadhog, 250-300 hp )

I’d follow, If only replacing the “Movement” Thing for Bastion, with either a revert for Sentry, And OR Bringing back the Shield but a bit… Smaller and less health.

That would be great.
Also, i actually Did like old Roady. even though he had a quantum hook, and needed a Few Small changes…

How would lowering Roadhog’s health help? He still needs to sustain himself because of all the damage he takes because he’s huge. I was thinking about reducing how much hog feeds with a small buff. Basion reaaly should be an off-tank.

A lot of heroes need a shield tank do well just like Bastion so no.

10

Roady’s health makes sense to me, Its base health… no shield or armor.

He’s FAT, So it makes sense for him to be a Bit… Beefy.

11

he went on a diet lol, i would just make him smaller. kinda in line with mei or doomfist but maybe a little bit bigger. with 300 hp.

but yea this is what i would of done before releasing the game. now you cant change it cuz that would be weird lol

12

Other heroes can avoid damage or block it without feeding, Roadhog can do neither.

13

i just want roads gun to actually mean something. its super poo poo and i hate it.

i use to be a road main- blizzard changed his gun
then i went on to a rein main- blizzard made him suck then CC happened
then i went to being an ana main- the shooting through people feels awkward and she feels like shes in alpha

so now im going with soldier, they dont dare change soldier

I would actually lower the Hook cooldown.

I forget what it is right now, cos i’m not a roady main… But only by like, one second.

with the inconsistencies in this game, it would make sense for him to throw it around a bit more.

(Even though as a Bastion main, I fear it. ;-;)

15

Didn’t they nerf Soldier’s damage once?

16

Oh no,… What have you done!!!
They’re coming for him now!

Bastion is severly underpowered. Statistics don’t lie.

I’d say roady could use some help as well.

(Don’t worry, i’m a Bastion main… I have gone under cover, They suspect nothing.)

19

its only 1 damage per bullet, nothing too big.

its what i thought they should of done with tracer to make her op 1 clipping more tame. cuz you can 1 clip someone and still have half your clip.

Bastion has Recon mode, my dude. He doesn’t have to be stationary.

I once got potg and a 17 player kill streak in Recon mode in Mystery Heroes with no tanks or healers pocketing me. The game exists beyond the Shift key.
