Reminder that the hardest Bastion counter is Ana

No other hero stops a Bastion as hard as an Ana does. With the current state of shields, Ana stands as the only hero that makes playing Bastion so god damn frustrating.

You can not play around an Enemy ana. you can not play out of her range, you can not play around corners. You can’t. You’re Bastion. You HAVE to see the enemy. And when you do, you’re a braindead easy target for Ana. As a Bastion player, I have very little qualms with any other hero than Ana.

This is just a rant because of how dumb the match-up is. Thank you.

don’t know i think sombra is an ok rival for that position too.

You can shoot and stop sombra. You can not do that with Ana.

As in, you can position in a way that forces Sombra to be in your LOS. Do that with Ana you die.

but do you notice most of the time before she finishes hack?

“Ok so in this position im outside of line of sight of the widow but i can still shoot their ana i will quickly burst down their shield predict a CC and go into recon mode to avoid their incoming attac-”

Ana: Casually stuns you for 5 seconds

Yes, I do actually because I look out for her. I can keep aware of Ana 24/7 and I would have to play “leave the game” to deal with her.

As a fellow bastion player…

Well, yes and no, if u sleep a bastion other side of map he doesn’t really care at the end. Also u’ll never be able to kill a bastion with Ana before he just walk away/heal himself/ get any help of any of his team mate/kill you by out damaging u
Bastion is really hard to counter alone, but he’s really easly focus down with minimal timing and teamplay
That’s why he’s unstoppable in gold and below and trash tier in diamond and above

Still, Ana have lots of tools to helps her team deal with bastion that’s true

No lol, every Ana will sleep a Bastion and then nade him. He can’t heal. Not to mention, shoot, sleep, shoot, nade, shoot shoot will kill a bastion so easily.

Pretty much, which is why nobody wants a bastion on their team. He needs to be babysat, which is just an awful thing to do to 5 other people.

Yes. Ana’s sleepdart hitbox feels 1000x larger than it actually is, not to mention Bastion’s hitbox is insanely large as well.

If “babysat” is “i need a support with me”, then yea sure. Its the same as Ashe. Except Ashe can actually survive without a single support because she is broken.

In which world would a bastion be so exposed that Ana have the time to do all that ?
If Ana can do all of those shots the bastion is literally afk AND braindead. Also, u remember that bastion as a team right ? If bastion is so lonely and so braindead hanzo is way better to kill him because of storm arrow that’s deal 300 damage way quicker as Ana
U even need less time If u full charge an arrow then just switch to storm arrow. Bastion killed in less than 2 seconds…

Bastions looking like he needs a rework at this point sadly.

Interested in what bastion mains want, I used to be one and wanted some power shifted away from sentry.

I read it again I’m still choke than anyone hope that bastion will not just move after the wake up or the nade if he doesn’t have mate
Also, this count only work if bastion doesn’t heal himself between forst shoot and second shoot. Sur u might have time nade, second shoots and wake up, but if ur in a game with a so braindead bastion I doubt u can time it correctly

You clearly have never played Bastion lol. Bastion is a stationary hero. And no, sitting behind a shield is not an option. Bastion is easier to dive while behind shield, not to mention most shields nowadays are paper thin.

Bastion has a huge hitbox. If you’re missing your shots on a Bastion, there is a SERIOUS problem at hand. Getting slept and then waking up from sleep is more than enough time for an Ana to deal enough damage to kill a Bastion.

Bastion pretty much counters himself.

So, basicly, what u are saying there is « a bastion surrounded by teammate, specially his tanks, is essayer to dive as a lonely bastion »
Well, enought, I’m out :joy::joy::joy:
