Scrap Ironclad, return Bastions shield

In all honesty??

I wouldn’t play that version of Bastion.
I don’t think it would work out.

What i meant more was that we’re trying to preserve Bastion’s character.

sentrymode stays on shift I just meant tank is on E. I’m reprogramming headshots too and I removed ironclad.

Well the original implication was Sentry and Tank…

Swapped.

So that’s what i was talking about.

Now that i would play.

Im by no means a Bastion expert, but from my little experience i think Bastion could benefit by a personal shield between form transitions.

For example, if he goes into sentry, he would get a 200hp shield for the duration of the transforming animation. Same for all the transforming animations.
I am saying that because thats when he’s actually extremely vulnerable.

In his normal mode, he can move and jump and repair
In his sentry mode, he cannot move, but can deal a ton of damage as well as repair
In his ult mode, he can move , repair and instakill a big percentage of the hero pool.

It’s the transforming animation that makes him very vulnerable imo.

So what’s his ultimate in that scenario?

here are the patch notes for the mode I’m programming right now

  • ironclad removed
  • headshots returned to sentry
  • healing delay removed
  • cannot heal while at full health
    holding rmb will auto activate when hurt and without a delay it’s instant
  • tankmode on E
    tankmode has 3 shots stored and reloads automatically every 1.5 seconds and it does 125 damage per shot
  • self damage removed
  • new ultimate: Alert!
    recon has movement speed increased my 30% and has 20% ironclad
    sentrymode gets 35% ironclad
    tankmode gets 205 damage per shot and 35% ironclad

that’s what I have so far but headshots is being a bit difficult.

Yeah, because Flankers are working so well in the current version of bunker that doesn’t have a turret with 450dps and it’s own personal shield.

Bastion is played less than 1% silver and up with a negative winrate gold and down. He isn’t in the version of bunker that’s meta. So yeah.

Not sure why you told me that.

The major difference is that Bastion is stationary; he cannot move if hes in that form. You can take pot shots, and they will hit 100% of the time in different angles. You can run around and melt him down. Hell, just wraith up to him as Reaper and just strafe him. Reaper on his own would be able to just completely melt a Reaper.

This opens up a lot of opportunity for other heroes.

No, no, no. N! O! NO!

:thinking:
Which part are you forgetting; the fact that he has a shield or the fact that he has a team?

At least use the voice line…

We need QUALITY MEMES.

You can’t solo take down bastion. it’s a minimum 4 man effort. 6 players need to go in to take him down. (unless you mei wall him up and hook or halt-hook)
The whole point of the pirate ship is that you can’t
a) contest it without using every cd
b) flank it

how do you even flank something that has 360 degrees shield around it?

Are you talking about Bastion, or Bastion’s TEAM.

EMP.

And i do not want to hear “But i’m gunna die if i go in solo” THAT’S THE POINT.

You’re fighting a team, you need TEAMWORK.

EMP, And those shields are GONE.

Pirate ship was on my mind and 2cp chokes, the most popular bastion comps.

EMP is not a flank. That’s an ambush

That’s literally what i’ve said

People use this as not only an excuse but a crutch that means no one is allowed to play Bastion.

“But his team tho”

YEA, But your team tho?

So basically, you can solo take down Bastion.
If you’re solo.
And Bastion is solo.

Easily.

That doesn’t answer my question. However since you ask because his shield was 1,000 HP and nobody gave an exact figure.

The likely health would be 400/600

Just sayin.
