When transforming from sentry to recon form, allow him to roll sideways. That it.
My argument for why this is needed is that, as bastion, a player cant even retreat when in sentry. Its either stay in sentry and get slept/hooked/focused down or pray.

This is unnecessary, and it doesn’t even make sense; you can pivot 360°, every direction is “sideways”.

No, you’re sitting in the wrong position. GET UP and move to a better place.
The right position changes constantly. Getting up to move is kind of the problem?
0,5 seconds of animation. Then you need to get that huge hitbox moving.
Fine, ok it doesn’t matter if its backwards or sideways or whatever. It’s just the option of safely giving up space is the point I am trying to make.
It’d be cool to have a more mobile Bastion.
I would gladly sacrifice some damage output for a tactical transformation roll. If that’s what you were talking about.
Not that I play Bastion but that’d make me wanna try him out.

Oh I see… yeah, you can actually push shift again to change back to recon mode.
Then you need to get that huge hitbox moving.
To move, push the movement keys.

The ENTIRE POINT of Bastion is that he cannot move, but he puts out a lot of damage. You’re literally suggesting “what if Bastion was a different hero”. Play Soldier: 76 if you want to move.
Are… are you trolling?
Ok man, if you say so.
Are YOU trolling? You’re apparently suggesting that the hero designed around immobility and positioning be more mobile and less position-reliant…
They should make it so that Lúcio can’t move next, it’s kinda hard to shoot stuff when you’re moving. Much easier if you stand still! /s
dude… bastion needs help… do you ever see him played?.. I don’t… and im a bastion main…
and with regards to his DPS… Soldier 76 out DPS’s him… because with his long arse set up time… his in ability to relocate quickly/effectively, and HUGE!!! spead… you cant hit anything with him at the distances you have to maintain in order to not be dead in a nano second…
do you ever see him played?
Yeah, by me, which is how I know you’re all wrong.
im a bastion main
Clearly not.
Soldier 76 out DPS’s him
Sure doesn’t.
with his long arse set up time
That isn’t a problem if you know how to play.
you cant hit anything with him at the distances you have to maintain in order to not be dead in a nano second
You being bad at a hero is not a good justification for a buff. It is, however, a great reason to learn how to get better. Perhaps by listening to people who don’t have the same issues as you?
yeah… flagged as trolling… NEXT!!!
False flags get you banned, fyi… probably best not to do silly things like that just because you can’t play a hero.
try playing low diamond matches as a bastion and tell me how that works out for you mr low gold DPS player
All you’re doing by pointing out that I’m a lower SR than you is admitting that you should already know what I’m trying to tell you.
But no, you’re so much better than me, so you can’t possibly have anything to learn. You know everything. Good luck with that mindset.

Sigh, don’t you have anything better to do than deliberately act stupid? I checked out your other posts. Your a troll and I’m done with you.
So you’re a troll account then? Got it. I’ll add your name to the list.
Indeed. And I don’t think doubling-down on his Sentry mode is the way to go. It’s very cheesy and rarely works in higher ranks.
I’d like to experiment with a more fluid transformation and possibly a heating resource. You know, the classic game mechanic for Gatling Guns =P
It could come with various pros and cons depending on the how much heat you’ve built (by shooting in Sentry mode).
Overheating would of course want to be avoided which would not only add resource management to the hero but would also counteract the “bunker” tactics.
I know it’s pretty vague but I literally just brainstormed it as I wrote it. And again, I don’t play Bastion but I’d be interested to hear what somebody who do might think of this idea.
Does it sound interesting or is it not at all what he needs/you guys want?
true, his sentry mode is a little lack luster…
however he is supposed to be an area denial hero… yet he cant deny any area at all because as soon as the enemy know where you are they just poke you down, and it takes you a year and a day to reposition, and when you do they bum rush you shrugs idk what the answer is TBH but its a shame bastion is my favourite hero
I a gold pleb, maybe its different for the 1% of the players but from my perspective bastion does not need a buff, he’s alredy very strong with proper support.
yet he has the literal lowest pick rate across all ranks, bronze to top 500
and practically always has had… this means the hero is too weak, because he is never being used
or maybe thats because he requires more teamplay in order to be an effective force, which is often not there. Doesn’t mean he’s weak.
