>Soldier 76 instead of aoe heal and rocket he can become a shield buster

I LOVE IT!

he is actually really fucking weak now

He's just a defensive Soldier, chill out. They might be slowly turning the defense heroes into being useful for defending. Soldier for offense, Bastion for defense.

>Soldier for offense, Bastion for defense.

But bastion has more HP so why not just pick him over soldier

Same problem as before. His hitbox is fuckhuge and his self-heal is way worse. He also has no escape options.

>he still plays overpriced

noone cares about ur autism daycare

go back to your dota, and warframe and other f2p games.

Fair enough. I hope they keep him as is. I also hope blizzard keeps on buffing shit tier heroes

I hope widowmaker is next

>he's a poorfag

nigger

Or neither ever because both are trash embarrassing heroes to be caught playing

Soldier can run and that's all the difference you need. Plus the rockets are better at getting Soldier out of pinch when cornered.

>getting cornered
>playing a DPS character whose at their most vulnerable when they can't run away
Soldier players in a nutshell

>buffed my favorite hero
Today is a good day. Now all they need is a secondary ability where he turns into tank mode with no attack but can zoom around fast.

why not just make him invincible at this point

What are the buffs?

Configuration: Sentry
Deploy time decreased from 1.5 seconds to 1.0 second
Bullet spread increased by 50 percent
Bullet spread is always at maximum (it no longer increases as the weapon is fired)
Magazine size increased from 200 to 300
Headshot damage multiplier has been removed
No longer deals critical damage
Configuration: Recon
Bullet spread decreased by 25 percent
Magazine size increased from 20 to 25
Self-Repair
Can now be used while moving
Now bound to secondary fire (formerly Ability 2)
No longer interrupted by taking damage
A new resource meter has been added that deplete while Self-Repair is active and recharges when not in use
Configuration: Tank
No longer grants bonus armor
Bastion has a new passive: Ironclad
Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Sentry or Tank configuration
Developer Comments: The goal of these changes is to move some of Bastion's power from Configuration: Sentry to Recon, while keeping its sentry mode a strong option, especially versus tanks and barriers. Overall, Bastion should feel stronger and more flexible with these changes.

>implying
Bastion is shit tier. He may have been controversial when the game first came out and several retards threw a crying fit when they couldn't stand still and 1v1 a turret, but those were the only people capable of dying to Bastion and he hasn't been taken seriously since.

Heh.
It's still a shittier soldier, the buffs in recon aren't worth the nerfs in sentry.

Mercy + bastion is better than mercy + soldier so I will take that any day.

You can fuck shit up with a good mercy on your back. Makes tank mode a lot more viable in many situations not to mention when she attack boosts you.

He's not going to be OP you fucks, they got rid of the headshot multiplier and gradual bullet spread in place of a longer, more consistent damage stream at 150% spread. He can set up and pack up faster, and can heal on the go. He's a more robust mobile point defender now, and the defense buff makes up for the loss in burst damage.

Widow already got buffs and has her own little niche. She's fine.

So they made the stationary mode complete dogshit and buffed the Recon mode to be a better Soldier?

Wow, amazing and creative buffs. Installing Overwatch right now!

This game is so fucking boring now that the meta is Phara, Soldier and Mei instead of Reaper, Mcree and Widow.

He's also harder to kill in sentry mode to make up for his reduced damage

Instead of Widow I meant Genji.

The ability to move while healing is nice but I always felt so comfy finding a nice quiet place to sit and heal myself.

He still shreds tanks and he didn't instantly die when the enemy team led where he is now

>miniguns are one of the most accurate automatic weapons
>but lets make the spread super inaccurate because of TF2
why? its like shotguns all over again

>because of TF2
Miniguns are stupidly inaccurate in most games. Though, to be fair, they're handheld in most games. But still.

is the pro scene dead or what?

The only explanation is that bastion is old as fuck. Heavy literally holds it in his hands, there's going to be some inaccuracy.
Of course, this is all speaking lore-wise, and is completely arbitrary.

>misread his rumored changes as him getting a new mode
>doesnt get a new mode and, on top of that the shields arent his physical shield from the beta, but HP shields

needless to say i was beyond disappointed

Woah, it's almost as if it's balance for a video game

Quake does it right though

i'm on pc and i still don't seem to have this update. what the fuck

his new passive defense is a buff to healing

>they pick triple tank because they are braindead retards who can't aim for shit
>we pick Bastion to fuck them up
although it will probably just make D.Va an essential part of the triple tank shitter meta to delete his shots while somebody kills him

Why do people care if bastion is op now? It didnt change that the game is still crap.

It's PTR only so far

SNG isn't really the same thing. I like the chaingun in Q2 - yes, it's inaccurate, but it's really damn fast once it gets going. Shreds tanks in seconds.

Reminds me when Overwatch launched and retards complained he was broken.

You're a retard.

NuBastion pops shields and tanks far faster than Soldier can.

With the massive durability buffs he's gotten he'd be OTT if his turret-DPS remained the same.

i hope they buff reinhardt next. his hammer needs to do more damage, it's so fucking weak

who
gives
a fuck
about shieldhealth
even ironclad existing doesnt make him anymore fun, i thought this was going to be a tiny Rein shield like the beta, but no. Blizz showing off once again how unoriginal they are.

Wait til they touch Pharah, they wont give her a riot shield or anything to keep her alive in-air, but give her a rooted mode that makes her rockets faster, wouldnt put it passed blizz at this point

>game is shit
>has server browser with mods
good try assfaggot.

It's babies like you who fuck up the balance of the game because you refuse to adjust and demand nerfs. His original iteration was fine.

>Heh.
Stop being fucking cringy, you're giving me goosebumps.

I hope you arent referring to his shield
because that iteration was not fine

One single common word is triggering you that hard?

user, Bastion's max bloom is as accurate as 76's burst fire. His gun is heads above 76's

Psh... Nothin personnel kid,

pharah should just be deleted from the game

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

he used to have an actual barrier like Rein when he was in Sentry mode. Also a lot of buffs have happened since then to everyone else

>playing MOBAs

you only have yourself to blame

>increase turret bullet spread by 50% (!)
>remove headshot and critical damage from turret
>slightly buff peashooter

yeah they've really created a wrecking machine

damn it, now I gotta pick some other low tier character to annoy my team

what's the lowest tier character I can be?

overwatch isn't a moba

...

I agree, needs to be in the realms of 90-100. He should be able to hold his own against characters with 200 or less hp, who can usually burst him down a fair bit in the 3 seconds and consecutive hits it would normally take to down them. 90 damage per swing would still give every hero a one-hit warning, and while not killing them, leave 200hp heroes in a critical state.

Game's creator seems to disagree with you

gamespot.com/articles/the-story-of-overwatch-the-complete-jeff-kaplan-in/1100-6439202/

Overwatch is such a shit game even its own players can't figure out what it's meant to be lol

>He still posts this in every thread, wiping away his salty, salty tears

Its a shooter. What is the confusion?

It's a FPSMOBA, first person shooter multiplayer online battle arena.

Until they change recon's hitbox/model he will never be viable.

But there are no lanes, no creeps, it doesn't play anything like DoTA or LoL.

This isn't the first FPS to have abilities.

He's actually good now.

Recon isn't utter garbage and Turret mode is harder to kill but only good at attacking large hitboxes.

You can play Bastion instead of Soldier on defense, exactly how the game was meant to be played originally.

Bloody beautiful.

>being this African American.

How about you go to school, instead of "stunting" and "hollering" like a fucking baboon?
Might be able to become a productive member of society, affording you the ability to pay for Videogames.

>it's a shooter
>half the cast are full of abilities that don't require shooting whatsoever and are just autoaims
but yeah it's totally not a MOBA LOL
League of Legends has skillshots so it's a third person shooter!!!

MOBA is such a stupid term that you can slap it on any game with PvP almost. Doesn't make it any less stupid.

>half the cast


You could have just said "I've never played the game"

How do lanes and creeps apply to the term 'battle arena'?

>can't find a regular game in PTR since there's not auto-join Quickplay and the server browser is either modded games or dead servers that no one joins

>guy calls a game overpriced
>Well you're a nigger
What kind of leap in logic is that?

cry more

I feel like bastion should've been given a secondary attack as a slow but heavier version of his primary attack. That way he has something to defend himself at long ranges in Recon mode.

They didn't really have to change his repair mode.

>Nerfs in sentry

These were all buffs basically. Now he recks tanks and can hold his own in recon. Nigga also has a tank tier passive that goes well with his armor ANNND nano. ANND he can heal when he wants which goes well with nade. Hes basically a tank.

I only played the game during a free weekend but bastion seems like such a broken character.
By broken I don't mean over or underpowered, he just doesn't seem to offer much compared to the rest of the cast.
I mean what does he do outside of throwing out damage damage? even all the offense characters have some ability that lets them do something else.
Given how basic he is he seems to be a character that would either be completely useless or completely overpowered because there's just not much you can tinker around with him compared to the rest of the cast right now.

youtu.be/QsH0ZXWeZZs?t=1h25m51s

oh look what do you know

competitive overwatch player corroborating my argument

>B-BUT HE DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE REASONS

lmao desperate

The spread is a big nerf

fuck widow
hanzo is next
only literally unplayable character besides sombra

>Thats what recon buffs, reduced mode change time and healing when u want is for

Clearly turret mode works best as an anti tank ability in beta 1.0 and now. PTR is just embracing it.

I don't agree with making bullet spread max from the get go.

Bullet spread, maybe 30% is fine but %50 seems too much.

Yeah, let's make a realistic game instead of trying to balance it, sounds fun, doesn't sound retarded at all!

He's still
>has a large hitbox
>no movement abilities
>stationary target
He's also Tracer bait

No his original launch iteration

>he's still

>the trashcan sitting duck who died to Indian poo balls.
He was trash.

>anti tank ability
>makes sentry mode objectively worse

He definitely feels incredibly strong at the moment. Hard to tell if that's actually how he is or just people getting used to the changes.

For one, none of his old counters are actual counters now. Genji's deflect doesn't kill him anymore.

A fully charged widowmaker headshot doesn't even kill Recon mode Bastion, let alone sentry.

How is sentry mode? I feel as if it got a big downgrade even with the added armor.

It's a huge upgrade just from having actual damage resist, keep in mind that before this patch he took the same amount of damage whether he was sentry or recon.

Sentry mode still absolutely shreds at close range, the loss of headshots doesn't change that.

You have to play a bit closer, but he's still really hard to kill.

It's a different strategy than before, but it feels a lot better.

I agree.

Strangely the change of repair to M2 also feels a lot better to use, for me.

well yeah, being able to heal under fire makes Ironclad even more powerful

Why do people insist on telling themselves this is.a buff? It's literally a >70% damage decrease to Sentry and they made Recon slightly on par with Soldier.

He's not going to kill any tanks.

Not even that, just having it on that button feels better to me than E, I always forgot to use it before.
