Worst hero in the game?

Calling it, hands down worst hero in the game

Is bastion.

Basically no niches, lots of counters and is never swapped onto to counter another hero.

I know it means nothing but just look at bastions stats in GM. 0.03 Pickrate and 30% Win rate. At least with other heroes like sombra she is useful in higher ranks. Bastion is trash in lower and upper ranks.

his whole concept was a mistake, his lore is the best one, but how he works its just not good, I hope blizzard know what to do with him in his rework, because we have seen some awlful reworks.

Pirate ship in general is trash. The only good situation for it is junkertown point A. It then proceeds to get wrecked with point B having loads of high ground to spam/jump onto the payload.

Buts it true, I forgot to mention that he is actually viable on one point of one map. Amazing

He’s next in line for a full rework hopefully

If I wanted it to get 100+ replies and stuff I would just put Mercy in the title.

My points still weren’t wrong? Ok.

“Basically no niches” isn’t equal to “no niches at all”.

Just erase our memories and delete him from the game, you either make him stupidly annoying with a rework or keep him in a flawed from the start state (still target in a fps game) and let him die in F tier.

“Basically no (thing here)” without having “except for” following it has the same implied-meaning as “no niches at all.”

That aside, yeah, the dude’s in a bad place. Being a niche Hero is not good in a game that’s all about consistency/flexibility being the best attributes. Especially if his healing is clunky (non consistently good) and his hurtbox is the hugest non-tank hurtbox. If anything, it feels like his healing is just there to offset the fact his hurtbox is too big, instead of just giving the dude a slimmer hurtbox and a more consistently useful ability instead of Repair.

I hope his rework also includes a rework for his model/hurtbox.

no your points weren’t wrong, just misleading.

you forgot the one spot where he can perform exceptionally well, at most tiers of play, conveniently left it out.

again, bastion is terrible right now, you just need to be less misleading :smile:


UwU what’s this?
irrelevant!

Torb is worse than Bastion, because Bastion at least has pirateship + junkertown.

Not in bronze and silver

basically
ˈbeɪsɪkli/Submit
adverb
adverb: basically
used to indicate that a statement summarizes the most important aspects, or gives a roughly accurate account, of a more complex situation.

Overwatch has 55 points, bastion being viable on one point means he is viable about 1.9 percent of the time? Basically means generalising or summarising something to a “roughly accurate account”. So saying “no niches at all” is vastly different to “basically no niches” as using the word basically indicates there are more complex issues that are being simplified. Such as bastion being useful 1.9 percent of the time, which is miniscule when all other heroes atleast have whole maps where they are useful.

Same goes for this

Reaper since bastion has 1 viable strategy which is pirate ship and reaper has none.

Pirate ship is still a valid strat, especially if you are desperate

Bastion will throw birds that shoot lasers to.

Probably Bastion.

Sure, Bastion is in a terrible state, but I sense a Herculean rework would be required to make it viable, as its current kit seems impossible to balance and also outdated; it was designed at a time when many of its counters didn’t exist.

That’s right, I refer to Bastion with “it”, the correct pronoun.
