Will Bastion be a new tank in Overwatch? Thanks to the changes, he survives almost any situation with ease.
Currently, some changes to the Omnic hero Bastion are being tested on the Overwatch test server. He takes 35% less damage in his sentry form and can now heal while taking damage or moving.
We have the list of all changes to Bastion here for you.
On Reddit, the user Squidblimp shared his experiences with Bastion and published a very detailed list of what Bastion can now survive if he simply heals against it.
The list of things that Bastion can survive through self-healing in sentry mode includes the following situations:
- The full ultimate of Reaper
- All 8 shots from Reaper’s shotgun
- Pharah’s entire magazine
- Torbjörn’s turret at level 2 (he can endlessly heal against it)
- Torbjörn’s turret at level 3 (he can heal against it until the healing runs out and then easily destroy the turret)
- Symmetra’s laser deals no damage until the healing runs out
- Genji’s entire ultimate
- Soldier’s entire magazine + rockets
- Tracer’s bullets (until the healing runs out)
- Tracer’s ultimate
- Zarya’s entire magazine with 100 energy
- Junkrat’s entire magazine
Of course, these situations usually assume a “1 against 1” conflict, which is relatively rare in actual gameplay. In the future – when the changes go live in this form – significantly more effort will be needed from the team to take down an agile Bastion. It’s also important to remember that Bastion’s damage has been appropriately reduced.
The main problem here is the combination of armor and healing. Because armor (yellow health bar) works differently than regular HP. It reduces any damage taken by half, up to a maximum of 5 damage points per bullet/source.
D.Va is also making waves outside of Overwatch and stands for women’s rights around the world.
