I played a Roadhog and I kept killing a Genji who kept trying to do that (as well as any other hero who got close), easy hooks. As for a Genji using reflect, a good Bastion will just stop firing and his friends will destroy you. The fact that I have to go way out of my way just to deal with him and NO OTHER hero do I have to do this with just screams how lame he is.Īnd before you say 'Hes easy to kill', of course he is, thats his counter, and I've killed MANY Bastions as I tend to focus him the moment I see him, just his sniper accuracy and highest DPS in the game which requires no skill and when hes protected by a Rein + Mercy + Widowmaker I just want to pull my hair out.Ī good bastion in a good position with a team that protects him will destroy you, no amount of hero swapping will save you. Honestly he is the definition of not fun, he is the reason I dont enjoy this game, all my friends hate him to and 2 of my friends who I tried to convince to play this game both think hes a terrible design choice and are considering not buying it just cause he makes the game not enjoyable. Reinhart + Mercy (who will rez him if you manage to kill him) and other heroes protecting a Bastion = easy win for his team. The fact that you need to ignore the 5 friends to get to Bastion to kill him is bad enough but a well protected Bastion = gg.

I mean, to be perfectly frank, the only previous experience I have with FPS's is single-player Metroid Prime trilogy and the campaign from the original Halo, and it took me ~9 hours to learn the basics of the game and learn to counter Bastion, I doubt he'll be the problem causer he is now after a week or two post-launch.īastion himself is lame but the problem is the 5 friends with Bastion. Give it a few weeks after release, when the community has had a chance to learn different heroes, and learn that switching heroes isn't the tool of the Devil, and you'll see his kill count decline rapidly. The thing is, as the community learns (You have to remember, probably 95% of the people playing now have been playing the game for less than a week, I know my playtime is still only like 8-9 hours total), it will become harder and harder to get these kills.Ĭountering Bastion is easy, people just are still getting their feet wet and haven't figured it out yet, I mean, 90% of the time I see him get Play of the Game or anything, it's just him sitting in Turret form mowing down 3-4 people as they walk single-file into a choke-point.
