Just watched a dude take down three players who were all firing into him and all he was using was the bastion, with no buffs on him. I'd say maybe it's a bit too easy to use. It's perfect for players who just want an easy get-out-of-jail-free card that never fails.

It's far too forgiving for acting like a fusion rifle.

Yeah pretty much, you can't really counter it and it easily takes down supers. Really cheesy as well. I hope all Baston users stub their toe real hard

Anyone that says it’s OP is a cry baby shotgun ape that doesn’t like counters to shotguns lol

It's not op, but it isn't annoying. To me, it's fine.

Pretty sure I’ve died way outside of 19m by bastion

Annoying? Yes OP? No

[quote]I've been using Bastion for a while now and I find it very fun to use and I'm curious to see what the community thinks of it. Imo it's not great against high skilled players unless you are very skilled with the weapon but I think most players on the low end of the spectrum hate it because they play too predictably. I personally find it balanced because it has a long charge time and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe its range caps at about 19 meters compared to erentil's range of over 30 meters if you have the right perks. If you play smart it can be countered with a shotgun or sniper, even a primary if you maintain good positioning. I could be a complete moron though so give me ur thoughts.[/quote] No it’s not. It’s only really powerful against players who stand still in lanes spamming primaries, who shotgun rush, or who pop their super in the open and run in a straight line at the next blip on their radar.

No.
