I love all this talk about bastion that is âYo if I have a support and he doesnât AND I know where he is at AND he has no team assists it is easyâ Git GUD!
Lol, you play 2 or 3 games it becomes obvious certain maps are âprotect the bastion and you winâ. When I tried tanking I always thought it was funny I almost never had support. I tried bastion out and EVERY healer would always hug my balls the whole map without any communication.
In the end I think bastion just needs a small tweak to be less oppressive in a couple situations, but regardless of how good he is the current strategies employing him just are not very fun to fight at the second.
This is definitely true. Way to many matchups where even if you get first shot you are likely still going to get mauled because someone just has some âI win buttonâ vs your character. There are a lot of 7-3 or worse 1v1 scenarioâs that arenât balanced at all. Also Tracer vs Reinhardt is literal 10-0. Impossible to win unless the tracer goes around the corner into a psychic charge from the Reinhardt and even then if she has even 1/2 a second to react you lose. Tracer vs McGee also feels like an 8-2 in McGeeâs favor. Fuck mercy basically auto-loses any 1v1 engagement while Lucio actually can win vs other supports and doesnât do a terrible job at mopping up already damaged players.
Also Iâm not a fan of the fact some characters when they die take ALOT longer than others on defense to get back into position. It is like some characters effectively have a longer respawn timer that makes it really annoying. Like as Mercy I feel I basically have to hide and if 1 sniper manages to shoot me my whole team is 90% likely going to lose the objective because it takes me 30 seconds to get back to the battle unless someone died RIGHT before me that I can LShift and use to accelerate myself back into the game.
Lucio on the other hand if he dies is really fast and can wall run to get back MUCH quicker generally, so dumb luck and small positional mistakes arenât as costly for some classes as others. Just I agree with idea I kinda want to play heroâs, I donât know how much I like the idea that I need to constantly switch heroâs because this hero sucks early game on the first objective etc.
The game will get streamlined for sure, but I agree with Gasaraki this is the source of most peopleâs complaints right now.
probably just being too predictable about how you chip away at bastion.
itâs tempting to just lob three rockets at him as quickly as you can because you hate the fucker and you want him dead, but whereâs the fun and mindgames in that
Uh no you donât need a Mercy boost to deal with Bastion. You just need to know where he is, which shouldnât be that hard since his mobility is bad. Not really sure what to tell you guys other than what has already been said. Experienced players have moved on from thinking Bastion is good.
The answer is pick another character so you can kill him.
But I donât like that answer because it means I have to stay that character that entire match because they arenât going to stop using Bastion and no one on my team but me is playing a counter to him.
Maybe I should just swallow my pride and get a pocket Hanzo so my in and out damage can at least do more than tickle his balls.
Oh I try, but you can only take so much time in a game where healers and turret builders can show up the second you start to re-adjust.
Like I said, clearly the answer is to just pick someone else.
Seems like he usually does to me, often times itâs a Tjor turret there to start pouring into you the second you get behind the fucker.
But yes there are times when he doesnât have any assistance and you can get the jump and pray he doesnât 360 swivel fast enough to Swiss cheese you.
People get mad with Mei I guess because she can kill you in most 1v1 matchups by freezing you then head shotting you. Combo kills most squishies. For some reason people tend to think she also does a lot of damage when her DPS is actually quite low compared to many other heroes.
Itâs your fault for getting into range of the spray
And bastion gets killed by widow makers
You can put him on the payload if you want
Lmfao
Lucio to protect your close range heroes
The widow maker to destroy bastions
