Has there ever been a character in a game designed worse than bastion? His standing mode is worthless, the entire character is built around staying in one spot as a turret.
The entire concept needs to be scrapped, it's awful all around.
I'm sorry that your thread isn't getting many replies. It's a genuinely good one, and there's no reason for it being this empty.
I have nothing to contribute, however I do enjoy browsing the funny images that the community post in these threads. That's why I'm bumping and I hope that this works as an incentive for people. Thank you for this thread.
Bastion is a terrible character because he requires two things.
1. a clueless opposition.
2. An amazing team to defend his position.
Those two reasons alone are why he's garbage and never picked unless you're fighting against retards.

>kiddies don't know that Bastion actually had a personal Reinhardt shield on sentry mode in the beta, yet no one complain about it
2 sniper shots and he's dead
I'm sorry that your thread isn't getting many replies. It's a genuinely good one, and there's no reason for it being this empty, aside from it being complete fucking dogshit. Kill yourself.
>>340011046
yes
shitty design
anti-fun even if he gets kills
just an excuse for a cute robot character
>>340011254
Even then, he was still garbage. A decent Tracer or Junkrat turned him worthless. He was only nerfed because retards are the majority of Blizzards demographic.
What is it with killer robots and birds?
someone obviously just got wrecked
hint:it was OP
also:he's a faggot
>>340011254
If only he wasn't always behind a Reinhardt shield or out of clear LoS for long range sniper shots
A bastion on his own is easy to kill. A team supporting him turns bastion into a nightmare
>>340011254
I'm not saying he's OP, I'm saying he's fucking boring. It's an entire character built around staying in 1 spot and holding M1. There is no advanced strategy to playing him.

Juxtaposition between arguably the most calming animal and symbolize nature against something that is man made and shouldn't understand nature.

why don't you crowdfund your overwatch-killer
you're clearly a better game designer

to be effective he has to constantly preposition a good player will switch to bastion as a surprise, wipe the enemy team then re-position somewhere else. Being bastion the whole match and sitting in one spot isn't effective against anyone but the shittiest of shittters.

I mean nobody complained about it because he had a 180 rotation restriction so classes like diva could just fly in behind him and he was fucking dead
>>340011487
watch seagull play him. transforms and moves around constantly, gets a shitload of kills in both forms
>>340011442
Christ this community is cancerous already.
>>340012523
Yeah he's fucking fantastic for turning a match around and more teams should be prepared for it. On Gibraltar I've got a team kill and one like five times from the spawn because they'd all bunch up thinking they won
OP, do you have any clue how machineguns work IRL?
Protip: it's the same, except they take crews instead of a robot.

>dedicated team of long term closed beta players destroys pub
Anyone can play this game decently if they have a dedicated team to rely on. Your average pub consists solely of retards aiming for the highest K/D ratio.

The irony that a killer robot would be so in touch with nature.

What's funny is that everyone was bitching about him being overpowered in the beta. At the time Blizzard was talking about buffing him. Now that he's literally been nerfed to shit, despite what they said, I can see where Blizzard was coming from.
>>340012717
Had a team that kept bullshitting by going all the same hero and constantly shifting it up
We were losing terribly but having fun
Until we all went bastionstill lost but it was after a solid 40 seconds of overtimereaper got really fucking lucky

The only reason I come to 4chan is the images.
The community is absolute garbage but the meme images, porn, and art people share is great.

The problem with Bastion is that he's just kinda boring.
His whole thing is just "point at things and shoot them." That's his ult, that his turret form, that's his regular form. He has no abilities and no mobility, just some big guns.
Every Bastion POTG is just him in turret form mowing dudes down. There's nothing exciting about it.
Everyone says Soldier 76 is supposed to be the braindead character, but at least he has a few versatility tools to work with between his healing and rocket launcher.
>>340011046
bastion is really weak, honestlly. best played by constantly repositioning and flanking and only marginally useful doing so
or on a cart with mercy & reinhardt for pubbie tears

He's literally a dramtized version of heavy from TF2

>Blizz babies actually trying to defend bastion by saying anyone complaining about how he is mad
He is a hero that is only good vs retards and is worthless vs good players, he's very simple to play with no depth. If that is not bad design I don't know what is.
He has issues, but he's not -as- bad as everyone makes him out to be
Recon form is slow, but his rifle pushes the same DPS as 76's, while being more accurate to boot. His higher health pool is enough to win some matchups if you have decent aim
Siege mode needs to be treated as a one off surprise, not a fortified position. Get your kills, then pack up and move somewhere else. Teams usually won't fall for the same trick twice, so you constantly need to be repositioning.
Also you'd be surprised how effective jumping from a high point, transforming mid air, and landing behind a team ready to just melt them can be.

>while being more accurate to boot
Sustained or in bursts? Because 76's rifle is fairly accurate either way and I remember Bastion's rifle having a ton of scatter outside of quick bursts, and being slower to settle down.
