They kind of buffed spread but the whole backwards spread thing is still straight up worse than before.

The spread shrinking so slowly is annoying as sometimes you know you can clip near them with a crosshair and still clip them but you won’t. I’d rather the spread was consistent and just a little bit narrower, just have it locked at 2.4 degrees. The same max-spread as Soldier and Sombra.

I don’t think this is even what anyone wants, this rewards bastion for shooting for way longer than 2 seconds as it takes 2 seconds of continual shooting to shrink spread to minimum (which was the old maximum spread).

Really, tell that to the players that complain about Phara/Mercy.

You know, I would kinda like to see Bastion get a different ability 2 for each form he gets. Like, for Recon, he gets an ability to boost his speed (sort of like sprint) to, you know, r e c o n with his team. And then in Sentry: he gets a gun shield. Finally, in Tank: he gets like 1 or 2 seconds of bonus armour or something like that. I feel like Bastion’s forms should each feel different, and that should be kept (and expanded upon) with a rework.

The speed boost would definitely be a cool ability for recon. Then he could also have the shield I suggested in sentry.

I think it may be weird if tank had an exclusive ability though.

Only that it depends exclusively on your dps (specially if they pick flankers) and as a tank or healer you can’t kill a bastion bunkered. Maybe you don’t see the problem because basically you only play dps, but from a tank or healer main it is different from the other heroes since you’re not allowed to kill him (or at least, you can, but there should be certain conditions, it’s not something you can decide at the moment). And if you don’t see him as a problem for new players, more than any other hero probably it’s because you don’t want to see the real situation.

He’s a tank buster except roadhog and Ana can delete sentrymode at the cost of a low cooldown so you really don’t even have to deal with sentry unless there’s multiple heroes and then it’s not a bastion problem it’s a problem with stacking stuff.

Also I was a new player once and never did I think he was OP. Also hispickrate is considerably worse than most heroes in low ranks so I think people at this point are just believing something that isn’t true. If he were dominating he would have been a must pick, never in the history of Overwatch has that been true in low ranks.
