To buff bastion they need to nerf bastion

You are privy to what happened to Torb correct? His "overload"pushed his regular right click too far and got his right click nerfed. Do you really expect an overclocked sentry to fly as it is now while also making tank mode an “E?” These are just pure buffs, not a single shift in the power that makes him so oppressive when hes actually played. That would be Sentry melting everything.

Torb’s issue doesn’t really translate here.

And when it comes to actually making the damage numbers work, i only have two things to say about this.

• An ultimate is MEANT TO BE DEADLY.

• Bastion’s base damage should be tweaked, his ammo reduced drastically, and Tank turned into a side ability for an Overclocking to work.

It’s a very very delicately balanced theory, but no one single part would work without the other.

Changes that have been suggested:

• Headshots enabled in Sentry Mode.
• Spread tightened in Sentry Mode.
• Ammo lowered to 150 ( Or even as low as 100 ) In Sentry Mode.
• A personal shield is added to Sentry Mode, facing wherever the Bastion is looking, at a health of 300-500 or in that range. And only regenerates while out of Sentry Mode.
• Ironclad removed or completely reworked.

And on top of that, allow me to add in one of the more important changes:

• Configuration: Tank is now another configuration, with lower damage rocket/shells, and is always accessible in the same fashion as Configuration: Sentry.
• New Ultimate : “Overclocked” Now strengthens Bastion in all configurations , causing Bastion to glow a hot red in similar fashion to Torbjorn’s ability ( Or Torbjorn’s original ultimate ) Dealing higher damage and having either lowered or zero reload time in any configuration for the duration of the ultimate.

This gives Bastion not only the “Mobility” People seem desperate to ask for, but utility, and versatility in combat, as a machine that can adapt to the situation at hand.

“BuT cHiBi, He NeEdS a HeAdShOt HiTbOx”

Hammond doesn’t when in his rolling form, and Bastion’s hitbox is just as large.

Remember that Bastion could only be in one of these modes at a time, and would need to choose which would fit the situation best, or take the time to transform… let’s not get caught up in a “Forum Bastion” witch hunt…

I’m all for Bastion becoming a DPS Tank as well, as in… the role.
I just want to see him actually punish poor play again. Predictable play.
