Nah the tactic ls pick hog and cassidy and lets stun + masacree dmg spamm
The only heroes I think are actually worse off are Mercy, D.va and Roadhog.
I’d rather help my team win fights and spawncamp seeing as it is a shooter. Sitting afk/healbotting across the map on top of your hitscan behind a million of your team’s different peel mechanics is boring to me which is why I stopped playing support as much over the years. Playing lucio and flanking without getting stunned all the time in ow2 feels a lot better than what we have currently with afk brigs in the backline just waiting to stun people and proc inspire.

Only 2 more weeks of fistman animation canceling one shot n away 
There is literally zero reason to pick Mercy in OW2, every other healer brings significantly more to the table, right click + shift will be the only thing worth picking Mercy for, but at that point, whats the point? I will not be picking Mercy once until they resolve the issue.
I hate hammond with a passion. Why does he even exist. He will be unstoppable now…
I will miss the impact of canceling ults with flash, but it’s probably for the best this ability is going out the door. Might be nice though if it can be brought back in PvE through a talent tree. Though we won’t get the answer to that question until much later.
I never experienced him to be an issue

It’s possible. Without a backup tank covering the team though he doesn’t have nearly as much free reign to disrupt the enemy backline now. There’s a reason in the beta that teams with Wrecking Ball as the tank had way more average deaths than with any other tank.
As a support player, everything became less obnoxious to play against minus JQ who probably got nerfed to hell by now.

OW2 Bastion is trash. OW1 Bastion is way better though.
Except OW2 bastion is genuinely fun and fits the game much more. New sentry gun makes him powerful at long ranges and added mobility with the grenade/moving turret let’s him push up more easily with the team. Sure, he loses the self heal but honestly that ability was just a crutch to sustain his immobile gameplay style. He’s tankier than every other DPS, especially with ironclad coming back, and in a 5v5 setting its much easier to get a healer on you when they don’t have 2 damage sinks (tanks) at once to deal with.
sentry guns don’t do enough dmg. recon mode gun is slow. grenade is just some gimmick they threw in. self heal was way better and tank mode was better ult than the artillery launch where you need to hide to be able to use it.
Turret deals exactly the same damage - its just on cooldown and mobile, still more than powerful enough to obliterate anyone in its path if your aim is decent.
New recon gun is amazing. It actually lets bastion deal with enemies further away due to it not having any recoil or spread, even if it does fire slower.
Old bastion ult would simply not work in OW2 because it would be way too OP. People don’t seem to realize this because of how OW1 works, but a nano bastion ult 1 shots everything under 400 hp. We just don’t see it because shields counter it very well. Same shields that will be non existent in OW2. Nano bastion would become the new nanoblade, but even more broken.
And low skill Cree will be even more low skill cree 
Personally I hard disagree if we are talking about both viability and personal enjoyment
I don’t consider Genji dashing around the map uncontested with better close range damage and mobility than the hero with 2 shotguns as playable but you do you.
No more DM lobby punchbot… thank God.
“But HeS A sKIlL ChArAktur BrAh” 
agree to disagree then. because bastion was utter trash for me in OW2
He’ll still be easy af but at least he won’t hard counter 70% of the heroes in the game
