Bastion is far too strong

Oh yeah, covers his team without a shield and gets nuked down in 2 seconds, nice, great cover.

Oh, so I can only firestrike people that are far away since my shield is down, which can easily be dodged, nice, great defense.

I protect the team so they can do something, when my shield dies, I die. You obviously don’t know how fast bastions can kill. You think I should stand in the open and die from a bastion? Nice plan. What else you got.

My friend, for me carrying in Gold with a 85% winrate is a ton easier than Winning in Diamond. Dont use the excuse ah ah ah my Team is trash. If ur in Gold silver with lvl 700+ ur just bad, sorry to say but get over it.

use the geometry to out position the bastion… honestly bud I am trying to teach you, to help you learn but seems you just want to W+M2

Ok I think I’m beginning to understand the problem. You seem to think that you are a machine that does one thing. You are not. You are a set of tools, which has to be applied in a variety of situations. There is no “do this and you win the match” advice. Doing one thing over and over is why you are dying.

so I can only firestrike people that are far away since my shield is down

No, Firestrike is used to build ult charge before your team is ready to engage.

Which can easily be dodged

By some targets but not others. Some targets are bigger, and Firestrike goes through barriers… which kind of hero are big and use barriers again?

I protect the team so they can do something

No, you are the one who is supposed to do something. The tank, particularly the main tank, makes all the decisions about where the team goes. You lead, they follow. You do not stand holding your shield up in the hope that someone else gets a kill. You go towards the enemy.

You obviously don’t know how fast bastions can kill.

About 5 seconds of continuous fire (I play Bastion a lot actually), but you’re not supposed to just walk towards it with your shield up. That is stupid. You need to either dive or flank.

You think I should stand in the open and die from a bastion?

No, I think that’s what you’re currently doing.

This is very funny coming from you.

Dude… if you keep flagging random posts the only person getting banned will be you.

I didn’t state that at all. You’re telling me to basically stand in the open when my shield dies to protect the team, what kind of stupid advice is that.

Well duhh…

Wow, stating the obvious yet again, I had no idea Flamestrike does that, thanks for the knowledge.

You’re so not getting it. BASTIONS KILL incredibly fast, there’s no time to lead them elsewhere.

You said I should stand in the open when the shield dies instead of letting it recuperate. Now you’re changing your story lol. When my shield dies I do NOT go out in the open to 'PrOtEcT mY tEaM", getting killed isn’t protecting the team.

I have a hell of a lot more experience as Rein than you so please, don’t act like you actually know how to play the hero, because you don’t seem to have much knowledge apart from the obvious.

BASTIONS KILL incredibly fast

That is literally the point of a DPS.

You said I should stand in the open when the shield dies instead of letting it recuperate.

I absolutely did not.

getting killed isn’t protecting the team.

According to you you’re already dying, so what difference does it make?

I have a hell of a lot more experience as Rein than you

Clearly you DON’T if you actually believe anything you’ve said.

palying against bastion needs teamplay… playing with bastion needs NOTHING… that means bastion is broken! if you dont understand this you are for sure stupid! :slight_smile:

I think you’ve got that arse backwards… any higher than gold, a bastion is a liability to have on your team if the entire team doesn’t commit to playing with them…

A Tracer, Reaper, Solider, Mei, Sym, Hanzo (Sorta), Mecree, Sombra, Junkrat, Pharah, what DPS have I missed… Can NOT destroy the shield and hero in 2 seconds.

More of a chance when hiding and recuperating a shield than going out in the open with no defense like a moron and dying quickly.

Mate, sit down, you clearly have no clue about Reinhart tanks so stick to your healing. I mean your only DPS played is a Bastion LOL, says a lot really.

They are not shield buster heros… bastion and junkrat are it’s what they are designed to do…

Try approaching The target bastion in more interesting ways using superior pathing and not just W+M2

I have a clue about reinhart and about bastion… if you are having trouble tanking a static target you are approaching the problem wrong…

You cant brute force your way through an entrenched bastion setup because he is designed specifically to prevent that tactic…

STOP TRYING TO FACE TANK A BASTION… WORK AROUND THE PROBLEM NOT THROUGH IT…

Can NOT destroy the shield and hero in 2 seconds.

Different heroes have different strengths and abilities. Bastion’s job is to break barriers. You are complaining that it’s effective at its designated role because you’re unwilling to modify your behaviour.

you clearly have no clue about Reinhart tanks so stick to your healing

I play every role, and even this game’s godawful ranking system thinks I’m better than you. But you don’t want to improve. You want the game to be changed so that your bad play works.

I mean your only DPS played is a Bastion LOL

No it isn’t (try clicking the button to expand the list, you can also check out the quick play list if you want). I have experience on a lot of heroes, which is how I can effectively judge what is and isn’t broken. It is not broken to put out high damage against stationary targets. If you don’t want to die, stop doing the things that get you killed.

Junkrat does not destroy barriers that quick lol

Great idea, never thought of that. Bastions can only face one way afterall…

You’ve barely played Rein. #Point

You play Bastion for main DPS, you have no say in this discussion.

can

he cant shoot through walls/obstacles

Nowhere near as quick as Bastion, and I main Junkrat as DPS…

State the obvious.

he’s still a shield breaker, the difference between junkrat and bastion is bastion sacrifices mobility for damage

if a bastion could move like junkrat with the DPS potential he has he would be broken

if its obvious then why are you having such problems?.. every map bar paris and horizon have lots of different pathing options to allow you to get close without having to charge directly ahead through open ground towards a bastion…

everyone is telling you how to deal with the problem you’re having, but you’re refusing to listen

its almost as if you want rein to be a wall, nothing more than a moving piece of map geometry impervious to all forms of attack from anyone… and sorry to say, that’s not happening…

bastion maybe strong but he has way more weaknesses

I’m not refusing to listen to at all, it takes a team effort yes, but Bastion is the main problem I have as Rein, that I can’t do much about, and Reaper is no-one peels.

He pretty much is, without a shield, he has flamestrike, and you aren’t going to charge to a Bastion, Trying to move quickly before the Bastion pewpews you in seconds is very hard, if the bastion has good aim… Say if you did manage to move, but team mates are still behind, how are they going to get protected from the Bastion?

I can protect myself from most heroes, but Bastion and Reaper, no. Their damage is far too extreme.
