It’s was a cool idea. But it sucks, and it has to suck because if it didn’t people would complain about how bullsitty it is. He needs a different ultimate. One that lets him stay in the battle so you can actually balance it.
im still a little baffled how they gave bastion artillery, when doomfists ult had the same issue for years… make it good, its bs against many heroes, if its not good, it sucks… so lets give bastion the same thing?? 3 of them doesnt remove the weakness it has… its just so weird to me.
they said ow2 bastions “identity” was transforming, as opposed to ow1 bastion identity being a playable turret… yet hes not any more transformy than he was in ow1. I think a transform ult mode he can actually use, rather than a targeting circle to move around, would be good. make him a helicopter!

What if…he could produce a rocket barrel, and has access to rockets on him M1 for a few seconds!? I know this is crazy, but such a thing may work out well.
We can call it…Configuration Rocket Pew-Pew?
…Huh? Oh, I suppose Configuration Tank would be better. He would sorta look like a tank.
When faced with this dilemma, I would just make the ult good. Seems better to have it a little too strong and not a little too weak. Plus, you can always make it cost a lot, and that’s balance enough.

His old ult was perfectly fine and didnt need to be changed.

they’ve already been down that road before and it caused too much ruckus so it was nerfed… which is what im getting at. we’ve already been down that road before so why the hell did they do it again lol
however they’re apparently planning on adding/buffing support mobility so maybe proper elim power will be percieved as more fair later on.
Guys, hear me out. What if Bastion’s ult turned him into a TANK!?.
Like a literal tank with a big a$$ cannon.
Would be so cool and unique.

My only problem with it is that the audio that plays isn’t different enough between one on your team and one on the other.
I’m really not sure why he didn’t just keep his old ult tbh. Unless they thought his new kit would be too strong if he kept a pretty good ult, instead of the awful one he was given.
His ult just needs a buff, like reduce how long it takes to hit the ground. Then he’s out the fight for less time and his ult is more likely to get a kill or deal damage.
They might change it back when OW3 comes out.

No it needs to be reverted.
I like his new ultimate, there’s loads of skill in predicting where you think they’re gonna go to escape the first one.
Just let him carpet bomb like when his ult was bugged : give it less damage with slightly smaller AoE and a good deal of explosive chaos. That would be a lot more fun compared to the underwhelming thing we have now.
Not firing would mean less possible impact (since the only limit would be the time) if you have to move the cursor far, so it would encourage the ult to be used close to the action.
Also if due to the amount of shot being limited by time only it would mean more absolute damage potential, that need to be close to the action to benefit it would give it counterplay options.

Give it slow on hitmarkers
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: have the artillery shells leave behind a pool of Certified Torb Lava™. Now it can be tuned to be a threat without the risk of instantly nuking characters like Zen and Ana while providing longer area denial. It’s even lore friendly, what more could you want?
