I know every rank has their own ideas of cheese comp. Like for example a bastion alone makes for cheese in low bronze but in literally any other rank he is par amount to trash.
Nanoblade, so many nanoblades
Hog-Ball comps (were played a lot last week) are seen as pretty cheesy at Gm/top500 and so is double shield.

It appears that the majority of tank players in my rank are allergic to shields.
Rein + Ball with Widow, and sometimes a shield breaker. Just don’t peak the widow 4head?
Piledrive says otherwise.
Get a Hammond. Swing and piledrive into the enemy,
roll out with shield and watch cooldowns getting yeeted at you
wihtout effect (or are whiffed).
Rinse and repeat.
Instant profit for using 3 brain cells.
And no one apparently knows how to counter it.
That’s my life in Gold rn.
Not sure what you man by cheese comp.
But Bastion is quite weak in Bronze using your OP.
Yes sometimes he can get some nice kills but once the enemy knows where he likes to hang out he becomes a liability and dies quickly before can get much value.
It’s more the shield tanks are as boring as a broken table leg to play.
If you want a specific hero in your matches you have the power to make that happen by queuing as a tank and choosing a shield tank.

I play shield tank all the time i just feel like more people could play shield more often.
TBH I don’t know what could be considered cheese in 4.0k-4.3k lobbies. The closest thing I can think of is Rein-Orisa-Torb-Mei-Bap-Lucio on defense for some maps. That’s sort of the closest thing I’ve seen to cheese.
I play in gold/plat, you’d be surprised at how often Bastion works. Not always, but quite a few times.
