That’s the thing if you’re lucky enough to get clued in allied providing such prompt shields, then you’re as likely to be against a comp that’s really good at breaking shields.

Junkrat and Pharah are the only characters able to damage shields without getting exposed, and they are both 1) bad, and 2) not enough to break a 900 HP shield every 8 seconds
Every other character has to manage to break the shield, while getting shredded by Bastion, because the map geography doesn’t allow good close-range fights

@TREB-21513

And you can’t exactly hang around the cart waiting for Orisa to deploy a shield on the cart and THEN get behind the shield. There’s like 20 things wrong with that which are far more likely to get you fragged than if you attempted other things like pseudo-flanks and fall-back fire support.

I don’t understand this part, are you referring to the beginning of an attack round ?

@TREB-21513

Bastion flanking is a contentious issue as it seems the idea of flanking is tied in with a lot of other ideas.

No actually I was talking about flank routes against Bastion. Widowmaker can’t have a good LoS, and the map is very open and very narrow at the same time. You are restricted to limited areas, with almost no way around it
