How do we fix Bastion at higher skill levels while making him not too insanely OP at lower skill levels?
Maybe buffing his robot mode, or at least buffing his ult?
>>339759101
His robot mode should stay weak
His main function is being the turret, not running around as a discount offense character
>>339759101
When he's a fucking tank, he needs to take more dmg from his own splash damage
>>339759101
his ult is great once you realise you can rocket jump
>>339760051
But if his main function is shut down so easily, shouldn't something be changed?
The only other hero that comes close to how easy it is to shut down is Zenyatta, and that's only if the enemy team has a good widowmaker while your anti-sniper sucks.

I am so sick of always having two snipers on my team which never can shoot down the one sniper the other team have. Also, bastion is still good if you get decent placement
Make him move faster. Allow him to exit his siege mode more quickly.
Did they increase his transformation time from beta? Played him for the first time in live recently and it was insufferably slow.
Bastion isn't too bad overall, but he's too goddamn loud. It's impossible to re-position and ambush people unless you got a full team kill right before.
>>339762958
No, that's fucking stupid, if he manages to sneak past a team in Escort, he'll get the equivalent of an ultra in the opposing team

So literally the same thing that happens if any other damage-type character sneaks behind a group?
Bastion is too easily countered as a "defensive" hero.

>>339759101
just leave him be, the shitter pub starlike roadhog.
Add cool down spin to reach max dmg, reduce ammo count increase reload
shitter's that can't shoot are low level's while high level's can lay waste even faster
enhanced radar in turret mode, and slightly higher damage.

>clearly to make him more viable at higher level we should give him multiple nerfs

None of the other heroes have the sustainable burst of Bastion, especially when you consider reloads and cooldowns. Tell me with a straight face that if they snuck behind the enemy that any offense hero would be able to get a team kill without an ult. No fucking way Tracer (whose whole point is flanking) would be able. Maybe Pharah, but not if the team isn't too braindead to find out where her obvious rockets are coming from. Soldier 76 doesn't have the sustainable damage to do it. Genji would only have a chance if he managed to land triple headshots on literally anyone.
Bastion, even if the enemy team had a healer, could get a team kill in seconds without an ult if he flanked them and caught them entirely by surprise.

>comparing the by far most mobile hero with tons of survivability to an immobile cardboard fucking box that falls apart from being sneezed at
Tracer can do 240 damage with a clip(1 second), not counting headshot damage. Reaper does 280 per second. Bastion does 135 at long range, up to ~500 point blank.
Of course bastion should do more than them when he can't fucking move, has no abilities whatsoever that help in ambushing, and is the loudest fucking hero in the game while walking. Hell an ambush hero like tracer or reaper would already have had the time to kill someone before he's even finished planting his ass, rendering himself defenseless.
>even if the enemy team had a healer
No shit, a fucking mercy pistol does more than a healer.
