Overwatch 1 vs Overwatch 2 - Bastion changes - Audiovisual Comparison

Fun fact: self repair wasn’t completely removed as bastion used it to say hello in turret form

I don’t care if they nerf him more I want self heal back even if it’s just to 150 health

Gosh they ruined him

I honestly prefer bastions old kit over his new kit, and being able to be more independent with the self heal and having to be a vital tank shredder but also with me being a stationary target I'm a lot more vulnerable to flankers and snipers. (I also like Orisa's old kit as well.)

Easiest way to tell that someone doesn't understand game design is their opinion on this rework

Ow High firing recon weapon
OW2 pinpoint slow firing recon weapon but deals high damage

I miss just staying on one position with bastion in config mode and miss his self healing

OW1 Bastion made a lot more sense, Bastion was an old war robot that was brutal at killing. The self repair and simple sentry mode with no movement fit the character of a slow, but incredibly powerful war machine. The new ultimate does actually make more sense then the tank mode in terms of how he transforms but in gameplay the artilley strike needs a buff or some other change

Please blizzard come back to original bastion

1-th game is better

So what your telling me is bastion has a hat now?

Oh my poor boy what have they done to you…

i like the rickety-ness of ow1 better. it just feels more ancient.

Look at how they've massacred my boy....

Old bastion was better in every way possible it’s sound, it’s grounded Sifi design, it’s “bastion idea”and balance. Now bastion rework make him less of a “bastion” and less of anything. it doesn’t have solid damage output anymore. Hell even 76 have more dps now days. is ult requires even less skills than before. And don’t even talk about the grenade and it’s grenade jump tech is so trash. Especially when you can’t even “set up”. The parkour is useless you don’t even have places to set up ( why need to find high ground when you can move around instead setting up for a good place). Plus your big hit box without its passive. Is just garbage it made him more reliant on healers and less reliant on dps. seriously just play solider is just batter than bastion in any way possible.- by a guy who’s a bastion main that have played over 1000 hours

The only good part about the new bastion is his select animation
I want old bastion back :(

Glad to see Bastion is still the OP piece of shit he always was

He looks like a plastic toy now

I prefer... Tank really.

In my opinion I love the new bastion rework the fact he can become a turret tank and become a mortar, but I still think they should of kept the self heal because the grenade isn't practical and the fact 99% of the time it's physics break making it stuck on walls and not players

The new design is less detailed

I cannot understand how they somehow made his guns LESS detailed and good looking.

Bastion didn’t have a ball cap

I know the old Bastion wasn’t particularly great for the game, and he’s much better now, but a part of me still misses the old Bastion kit. Being able to self heal, or hunkering down in an unexpected position near a choke and catching the enemy off guard, or getting a bunch of kills with the tank form…

is it me or did they sorta...make Overwatch 2's artstyle leans towards more...high-scifi and less grounded?

Seems like they buffed everything about ‘em, the sound and mechanics specifically 😊

Everything about his kit is better for the game apart from his ult. tank used to be so much better, now it’s just a crappy version of dooms ult.

bastion without his happy noises kinda weird, its just like a heartless killing machine

glad to see ultraclockeds edits on OW

I wonder if the upgrade were torbjorns idea

Damn they nerfed him hard
