Triarii posted:Every time I jump in on a Bastion as Winston I have this fantasy where, while you're facing backwards to shoot me to death, my team is going to take advantage of your exposed weak spot to take you out and move up. A bastion that doesn't panic should always be able to kill a winston that jumps in on him. The lightning gun doesn't get headshots so your weakness of "triple damage from the back" doesn't exist, and with his armor bastion is really tanky against the lightning gun. Instead of jumping in as bastion you should swap to genji and go wreck him, or hanzo/pharah if you are bad at genji. If you want to stick to a tank, grab D.Va and coordinate with 1 person on your team so when you fly in and make him rotate he gets mowed. If you can approach out of his line of fire then you'll live until defense matrix drops.

Blizzard should put in a physical scoreboard hidden away in each level, in a room that locks you in and doesn't let you leave, so you can watch everyone else's score get higher than yours. Also it puts you in time out after the game ends.

I don't get why Bastion makes people so salty because every time I play as him I can't do poo poo. I try to set up in a nice spot with some good sightlines and away from the enemy team, but as soon as I do, I get sniped from across the map or a Pharah dodges back and forth behind a wall and hits me with three rockets. Goons, please tell me the secret of making pubbie tears flow as Bastion.

The secret is having your teammates support you, and make sure that the heroes that counter you don't get a chance to. You should try playing with goons. Edit: oh, and don't set up somewhere with long enough sight lines to get sniped. Try to cover the side of a choke point, not look down it.

my first potg was junkrat stuck in a corner so i popped ult and blew it up as fast as possible killing roadhog and his mercy, and the random tracer who picked the wrong time to rewind. that was my 2nd game and all others have just been winston stuff going ape and smacking people off cliffs. any other potgs are just well good plays or some weird like widow snipes a guy then does a hook back to spawn poo poo.

I'd like to buy some highlight intros but right now Hanzo literally gets it for killing two people almost all the time. Zarya and I (as Pharah) wombo'd to kill 4 guys, and then I got a fifth. Hanzo got POTG for 2 kills.

Goons, please tell me the secret of making pubbie tears flow as Bastion. Every pubbie Bastion I go against just gets minced, mostly because I'm usually playing Soldier: 76. Click click click click, right click, Bastion gone. Yesterday I ran into a team of doing 6x Bastion and wiped out half of them easily. then they switched to 6x junkrat and it became waaaaay harder. I turned a corner and saw a wall of cricket ball bombs flying at me. Slime fucked around with this message at 10:47 on May 29, 2016 |

I actually mostly play Junkrat, who is an all right counter to Bastion in most areas. It does stand out to me how much one Bastion can change a match (in bad random games, at least). I just played a game with a decent Bastion on my team against an enemy team that just didn't bother bringing the tools to counter him, and the rest of us could pretty much just sit back and watch as the Bastion mowed down the entire team over and over again. I've never had any other single character where I felt "wow, this guy is doing 90% of the work on this team".

It doesn't work for every Bastion, but as long as there's an approach to get close without dying I find Roadhog works really well. Hooking them towards you messes them up good. Circling around and dragging them off is my go-to method whenever anyone does the "Bastion behind Reinhardt sitting on the payload" gimmick.

Goons, please tell me the secret of making pubbie tears flow as Bastion. Move around a bunch. The undeploy is very fast, and undeploying/redeploying is faster than reloading while deployed and reloads for you. You can jump and deploy in midair to make yourself a bit less of a target, too. Don't be afraid to deploy while someone's shooting at you if their DPS is low or they aren't landing every shot, since you can most likely out-race them to a kill and heal yourself after. Try setting up in locations that are to the side of the payload/walk to the control point, and you can catch a few people off guard. And, obviously, if you have teammates who want to support you, let them help. Sit behind a Reinhardt's shield and ruin some people's days, but don't just sit there still while a Junkrat is flanking around to try and displace you.

He exists almost exclusively so that people who are terrible at the game can still pick a character, get some kills and have fun even if they're not pulling out sick reaper quad kill ults. Naturally, this means bad or ignorant players get dumpstered by him and since everyone thinks they're way better than they actually are the problem's gotta be with the game's design and not the fact that sprinting into his face and spraying wildly is the wrong way to deal with him.

Bastion is really hard to deal with if the team is supporting him though. Like some defensive chokepoints can be well covered by the whole team and then you finally get in and you still have to deal with the 700 dps rear end in a top hat behind a reinhardt shield

For whatever reason environmental kills are weighted heavily.

Bastion was ran like five or six times during the tournament last night and every single time the team using him lost.

The Nepal map with the pit adjacent to the point is great for all kinds of things. In addition to the obvious Pharah and Lucio pit kills, I had a good time as Roadhog standing across the pit from the point and hooking people off and letting them fall to their deaths.

I just got this and mouse acceleration, vsync, and motion blur are all disabled by default.  Can someone explain the dva suicide thing? I swear I saw someone jump out and launch their mech into my teammates, I was just getting out and running like hell. I love that the class that can fly around the map is the as wide as a barn. Do different not-melee classes deal different melee damage? I was getting a lot more luck with melees flying around as the demoratman guy.

Something I really dislike about Pharah is that her concussive shot doesn't seem to impart any vertical momentum, so you can't use it like Junkrat's mine. Maybe they didn't want to make her overly mobile or something, but it still kinda irritates me. Although I just learned it does massive shield damage and no health damage, so that's interesting.
