Nerf Bastion Please đź§ 

Bastion requires a nerf, and a harsh one at that… not only does this hero output insane damage on paper but it fails to even properly conform to it’s own design.

What could i possibly ever suggest that would be a direct nerf to Bastion, and a good thing for this game? What needs nerfing you may ask?

Nerf Bastion’s ammo.

Yes, you heard me… Bastion can fire for too long… that’s what’s holding back the buffs that Bastion rightfully deserves.

300 is simply overkill, especially when you miss about 200 of those bullets.

Once we lower Bastion’s ammo reserves, we can start making the bullets do more than the nothing that misses inherently do.

So, what do we do?

We make Bastion have a measly little 100 ammo in Sentry Mode… and give those bullets the magical power to actually impact heads that all other bullets have, then we tighten the bullet spread and take away that infernal “Bloom” that it has.
What do we have now?

A Bastion who is rewarded for good play in higher ranks and punished for poor play in lower ranks.

I rest my case good sirs, feel free to do your stirrings and whispers and whatnot below me.

And for those of you who will inevitably try to agree that i am inherently dishonest about my intentions regarding this non-conventional approach to discussion, i bid you farewell… and remember, that you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest… but an honest man, you should be wary of… because you never know when that honesty is honestly dishonest.

I am frankly insulted by this assumption that i am not being 100% serious.

Of which i am.

We all wish it would happen if we are not Bastion players, since Bastion is just an annoyance to other DPS as well as Healers. But it isn’t going to happen, so we should probably stop asking. It is okay though, Reaper players can slaughter Bastion and so can Sombra players. Probably even all those other DPS can also…

Oh look, I just disproved Bastion needing nurfs.

It would seem that you have failed to grasp the meaning of this rather inconspicuous topic.

I am, i remind you… one of the few remaining Bastion mains.

I am. The problem is this forum. IT’S ADDICTING!

No I seen the ammo thing, his ammo count is pretty annoying since he does so much damage per second. You could just sit and left click the whole game as Bastion as long as you find decent positioning on the maps. Sorry I am delirious right now. No sleep for 10 hours, it is always fun.

The point my good sir is to nerf the Bastion, oh yes… because only then can we return the Bastion to it’s former glory, in the way of damage tweaks.

Fair, but they probably won’t mess with Bastion. People have been asking for nerfs/buffs on that character for a while… Mostly the nerfs.

Those men who ask but not give a single shred of reasoning are all but blind in a dark room.

I ask for changes because they make rational sense, not because i wish something to happen that wont.

I sometimes wonder why it is so addicting… I mean I don’t get why forums are so addicting. But they are.

So if I’m reading this correctly -

  1. Reduce ammo limit in Sentry mode
  2. Allow headshots
  3. Less spread

Is that right? If so, it sounds pretty good.
And tbh, you have a hecka lot of hours on Bastion, so I think you know what you’re talking about

Correct, i’m impressed.

Generous compliments aside, i am hellbent on making my hero playable once more… because to play Bastion seriously as a main, is similar to self harm as of current.

Honestly, if they’re going to ignore him they might as well delete him :’(

Oh and refund my gawd damn golden weapon if they do.

This is a big brain post. It’s got the razzle dazzle and the ol’ switcheroo.

And honestly, it’s probably worth trying in experimental.

Stop trolling us like that, bastion needs a rework, he’s to garbage for a straight buff.

I suggest reading the original post with a fine tooth comb, my friend… you’ll find more there than meets the eye.

You should look at the title again. :3

Wait wait wait, Chibi I got you.
