Nerf bastion5/21/2023 Now the double shield is gone, the old Bastion will be much more underpowered than ever. The only time we get to see Bastion in high level game is during the double shield meta, which was unfun. This is also indirectly making support role more important in a team. He shouldn't be spending time on healing himself as a hitscan DPS, he needs to pick off enemy. The self repair is counter productive for DPS. However, he's not all that viable in high level gameplay imo. I loved OW1 Bastion, he's like another Soldier:76, a newbie friendly hero. Please tell me what you think of this rework. Sure i'll get downvoted because this is reddit and opinions are a crime. It's was just sad for me to see Bastion loose the little he had left. I'm not even going to talk about the ultimate. Cool but if my enemy has more dps than me, because my primary fires at like 1 shot / second then there really isn't a chance for me to do outdamage them, and the grenade wont save me. Sure they removed spread and reverted a nerf. Bastion's primary fire was never that good, he relied on his sentry mode to be somewhat useful. Honestly the slower fire speed is unnecessary. Now i still have almost no mobility, half as much damage and take knockback. The entire point of sentry mode on Bastion was that you traded mobility for high damage, less damage taken and no knockback. Sentry mode is just too slow and too underpowered. Cool infinite ammo sounds good, but only for 8 seconds, and they nerfed the damage by 40% making it deal almost miniscule damage if you are not in your enemy's face. This was honestly the only ability Bastion had to keep himself alive.Even now it would make him so much better if he had kept his repair. This grenade doesn't even fit bastion seeing as units like him have repair tools, not grenades. The grenade, it does almost zero damage (around 60 to flesh, 30 to shields), and the explosion is so small you can just walk away while it explodes. Now i knew they reworked him in some way, but didn't expect them to nerf him into the ground. Ok so the only reason i came back to overwatch was because i wanted to play bastion.
