To be honest, that was less than a week when the nerfs started in, she is suppose to be a brawler character but they just completely dumpstered her, again, her only use as of now is her Teleporter, i agreed somewhat with the damage nerf, because they did buff her charge rate, but those last 3 were unneeded.
if they buffed her dmg to how it was back then, then theyre would be a reason to buff orisa and sigās sheilds and other stuff
Wall them up is the way, walling off bastion is asking them to break it in 1s.
Not certain, junk is better in this case.
Iām not saying that the damage nerf was unneeded, because they did buff her charge rate so i can understand that nerf, iām saying the Beam width nerf along with the Ultimate nerfs were unneeded, and yet they said they would go after Zarya and Symm if they became problems, and so far we havenāt got much but quadruple nerfs on Symm.

i have a feeling zarya will be looked at for nerfs, but lets hope its not orisa/sigma levels of nerfs
For Sigma, the only thing i want changed for him is them to remove that 1 second cd on barrier withdraw, Orisa i canāt give much on because i have a burning passion to not play her.
id like if they removed the ability to stop sigs ult with a stun, god screw that change
Yeah i can feel ya brotherā¦ like everyone wanted a low-skill hero to be stronger right? Itās such a good experience to die cuz someone holded down M1 for 2 secondsā¦
To be fair, Bastion has alot of counters, Mei, Sombra, Hanzo, Zenyatta, Tracer, Ashe, Reaper, etc. So i can see them trying to buff him, he also has the lowest pickrate for DPS sitting at .24 so.

he needs a hard rework that can stop this bunker comp crap
I can understand that, iām not really in favor of pocketing (which is why i want them to make Mercy a juggler healer) or sitting in one location, but there is some gamemodes where you have to do that. (Payload)
The thing is no reworks will happen until OW2 is out.
I find bastion incredibly easy to deal with, as I coordinate my team to deal with the threat

Imagine this: Mercy, Ana or Bap pocketing BAstion, REin Zarya, Rein Sigma, Orisa-Sigma defending him like hell. Against a comp like this:
-
Mei: not really cuz dmg boosted Bastion breaks wall and kills the enemy main tank faster than the tank queue times. Bastion is also well protected with either double shield or Zarya bubbles or if anything goes wrong BAp has immortality fieldā¦ or even if he gets killed Mercy can rez himā¦
-
Sombra: Nah she wonāt be able to hack through shields and the other DPS or the supports can look out for him
-
Tracer gets bursted down in 1,5 sec from a dmg boosted Bastion
-
Ashe wonāt be able to poke him, dynimate woNāt do enough dmg.
-
Reaper: He has one chance and a double pocketed Bastion with also Bastion being capable of healing himself will be able to survive Reaperās dmg, after that Reaper has to Wraith out and thatās it.
-
Hanzo-Zen: Yeah maybe they could do something if the Bastion wouldnāt have 2 barriers protecting his a ssā¦ The problem is that Bastion will burst down the enemy main tank pretty fast and after that the whole enemy team has to fall backā¦
I donāt favor Pocketing to be honest, which again, is why i want Mercy to be a juggler healer.
You flank as those characters, and then hit them on the critbox, one arrow + storm arrows will take Bastion down, and Discord along with full charged orbs will take Bastion down.
Dynamite gets rid of his armor, and the healing drains faster now so he is easily able to run out of resources.
Again, a case of flanking, which Sombra is known for.
Yeah but still itās a thing and it just destroyed my prevoius quick play gamesā¦ As a tank player you cannot do anything against a well protected, dmg boosted Bastionā¦
Thatās more of a problem with the Tank role than Bastion being the problem, they just need to make the other tanks viable without starting up Double Barrier again.
I guess itās a good think you almost never see this.
Look for anti if youāre Ana?
Question:
āWhat if heās blocked by two shields?ā
Answer:
Throw it at the wall behind him. Anti-nade also does splash damage. You donāt have to be accurate with anti. It splashes off walls, shields and the floor. Be creative to where you throw it. Look for opportunities and gaps with anti-nade.
You played one match against a boosted bastion while you were support and you think that is enough evidence to say its the worst thing in the game. Yet in Overbuff it says your level 16, come back when you have experience to prove your claims.
