Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse…

Lol no way this is real. Bruh they lowered his sentry damage by like 40% and it has a short duration plus long cooldown and he can’t repair anymore.

No way you’re actually crying about bastion

Yeeeah, as powerful as he can be… The time spent in Recon mode doesn’t grab a ton of value. If someone has the spot on hitscan potential that Recon is lethal… They’re really going to find way more value with other hitscan characters.

The large hitbox also makes recon riskier. You need to land those hits to deal good damage otherwise you’re just feeding and dying tbh

Did you actually play the beta or are you just upset by what you saw in one video?

Right. I was really excited to see the updates to Bastion, but sadly I think just playing Bastion is more preference or niche or specific situation.

All I could think is maybe he’d be more a competitive choice to say S76 if the upped his recon ammo count and maybe lowered the CD on the bounce grenade.

The thing with the grenade though, I think it needs the longish cooldown because of it’s massive damage potential. I see it get used for mobility and positioning a lot too and if bastion can just go anywhere super fast it might be hard to keep up with him

Winston was like 2nd most played tank in T500, not doing well indeed.

But then what should we expect when we have rigged™ matchmaker that puts you with throwing Winstons only

His hitbox is the size of texas without any of the benefits tanks have. Just shoot him. He dies instantly while discorded.

Low tier bait, please be bait

No. I didn’t play beta I just saw the video. And for those telling me to chill you should see me when I’m not chill. This is chill trust me. Would you like to see it? :slight_smile:

… well we can shut this down noe

I don’t really care if you chill or not, but if you haven’t actually played the beta and are just upset about the idea of new Bastion, trust me when I say he is not a problem. If you’re gonna be worried about something, be worried about Tracer and Genji, they’re pretty much unstoppable, Bastion won’t be a problem. The videos made him sound and look much better than he actually is.

Considering his size and the incredibly loud sounds he makes at almost all times, I don’t think it would be unfair for him to get into more places at a more consistent place.

That said: I don’t think one could justify lowering the CD without also lowering the damage a touch.
