[@wilkham2678]

As one of the few people that one tricked Bastion to Top 500. I really miss him from OW1. I miss the self-heal and the tank jumpshot so much. Hero like Reaper used to be so easy to deal with. Your guide helped me a little, even if I don't think this rework is a success.

[@Tuskor]

I'm gonna miss him too :(

[@northernstar7443]

Honestly I want old Bastion back My idea on what they could do when it comes to his self heal cause a lot of people hated that is either put it on a longer cooldown, maybe 12-ish seconds like Orisa's Fortify and also limit how much it heals so you dont just heal to full every time cause even I'll admit.. Bastion was BUSTED

[@Bloodiller]

Honestly the Self heal was not overpowered. Bastion was not a popular hero and when somebody play it correctly nobody would be able to deal with him because their is so little much people playing it right nobody were train to deal with. I want him back too. the new bastion is a failure even if you provide some good point on how to use it on OW 2 but the ult WTF OW team? the point about OW 2 was to make it more mobile and you change a mobile ult for a non mobile one ? that is a stupid idea. and the previous ult was better than the new one. for my point of view they reworked one of the less played character and nerfed it.

[@soloshottie]

I love both versions of bastion personally. I'll miss tank form a lot, but the rest of his kit is great and fun. tank form is hard to match though in terms of fun value, but artillery is honestly fine. with no self heal and little horizontal mobility, having an ult that can threaten people behind cover is great. one time I got nano'd on a bridge but got booped off before I could get a second kill. artillery gave me the ability to make use of that nano and turn it into a 4k. in the same way that tank form gave bastion flexibility with his stationary playstyle, artillery now gives bastion flexibility in his now more mobile, but still not very mobile playstyle.

[@ShADOwWIZardMONeYgAnGGG]

As a new bastion main I can confirm bastion is not easy, just because you saw him destroy an entire team doesn't mean he's super easy. He requires good aiming skills and tracking skills.

[@Bloodiller]

and if you play vs and player with same skill level than you but with smaller hit box you have almost no way to win the duel. even in this video. he won a duel with a mccree than can't aim a truck and all the other footage he were on pocket mercy

[@matthewcontreras7350]

I main bastion and he’s the easiest hero in the game what are you even talking about

[@ShADOwWIZardMONeYgAnGGG]

@@matthewcontreras7350 you are capping.

[@Bloodiller]

@@matthewcontreras7350 yes sure, the easiest... to make your statement correct it could either be because you never played another hero in the game or you goal is not to win or doing kill and you judge it with other criteria than me. Bastion is clearly not the hardest but clearly not the easiest. I don't know your rank but, yes you can win most of your duel in low rank but you can't imagine to win one it high rank except by baiting the enemy or with a better support from your team. but good for you if you like it like that and I wish you all the best. Bastion from OW1 was better for me.

[@RetroCube]

Except when you’re plat or below. Then you can literally get free ranks

[@hiramjew1523]

As somebody who's played bastion since ow1 beta and seen bastions changes over the years this rework was a breath of fresh air for him. Thanks for your sticky bomb tips along with the "flashy engage combo". I tried this trick on Lijiang tower and jumped over some pits and fences and enemies were totally caught off guard 😎. Amazing video for any mains out there!

[@Tuskor]

awesome! glad you found the video helpful

[@Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.]

i think you forgot to mention one more idea behind using bastion's ult effectively. Most people just shoot the three mortars in a line right away, or just shoot the three mortars on 3 different enemies. But i feel that it's pretty effective to create what i like to call "bermuda's triangle" where you rather than shooting directly at a target, surround them with the edges of 3 shots. If they have no major movement ability, it's just a free kill, although this does only really ever work on one target.

[@Tuskor]

Nice tip!

[@yassinouakka126]

or clear the road when playing robot escort or securing an objective no one will stay there, given your team the chance to capture the objective

[@moltensh4dow506]

I love the mini junkrat jump you can do with the sticky bomb but it sucks that it does some damage to you, i always use it to jump and then try to self heal the damage taken, and then realize it’s gone.

[@r1tesh]

I am literally shredding everything in sight with this reworked turrent ability. Ty for the guide also.

[@THE_Metal_Sonic1]

Nice stuff dude as a diamond bastion player can I add a tip.When playing against genii up close and he has deflect use your sticky at the ground to get some more damage off him when he uses deflect or wait out his deflect.Me personally I go for genjis.When your trying to avoid an enemy’s bastion ult use the sticky as a way to escape or juke the bastion ult.

[@khaloof.m]

this was an amazing video, i thought you had like 100k subs, you definitely deserve it

[@Tuskor]

Thank you! We’ll get there one day 🙏

[@priestly8164]

I really like Bastion for his zone control. In the way that you can eliminate the entire zone.

[@Zebra_Cakes]

The sticky bomb jump blew my mind lol Never ever thought about that 🤯 I’m a new OW player coming from apex, so this video helped a lot 👏🏻 Been playing as Bastion a lot and I love his kit. Wish I could’ve seen what he was like before though

[@electroducky9664]

Prior to his rework, bastion was a lot clunkier and stationary. He couldn't move while assault mode (formerly sentry mode) was active and had limited ammo but much higher damage output. Transforming did not have a cooldown either. He never had the bouncy grenade but instead a self healing cooldown bound to a resource meter. He could not shoot or transform while using it but it healed for 90 health a second which is a lot tbh And his ult turned him into a tank for 8 seconds that shot damaging explosives

[@idclol2883]

[@Tuskor]

Yeah these videos do take a while lol. Would love to see another guide from you too though!

[@meamme4010]

little bit late but this guides honestly really accurate. there is another thing that i find really useful with sticky bomb, if you shoot it behind enemies who are poking, the explosion from the bomb can push them out of the corner if used correctly, giving you a massive advantage as the enemy is suddenly way out of position

[@Tuskor]

nice tip!

[@YellowScar2014]

This is a great video, I must thank you for giving me a better chance at re-learing my old main. It's a real shame they removed his self-heal though, I wish they kept that and placed the grenade in the empty ability slot. Heck, the two abilities could've shared the same fuel-meter, forcing him to chose one or the other at a given moment.

[@Tuskor]

Yeah self heal was great for dealing with poke but now Bastion can just move back to cover in sentry form so its not too bad. I’m just happy they kept ironclad lol

[@fthrgasp]

Honestly, as someone who just started playing bastion this has probably been the most helpful video i've found. thanks!

[@kiranxbox1]

Dude I thought this came from like a channel with like 100k+ subs absolutely good shit man keep it up

[@Tuskor]

Ty man I appreciate the support :D

[@electroducky9664]

I'm not sure if this has been a thing since before the recent patch that buffed artillery and assault cooldown but you can actually fire the grenade while casting the transform animation to and from assault mode. It's been quite clutch. Also if you wanna artillery while coming back from spawn, you can rocket jumps forward and use the ult mid air to gain a bit more ground while sending your ult to the target. Good video though I've been loving the new bastion

[@Tuskor]

nice tips!

[@nickaleshin7149]

Great vid, thanks! I didn’t start playing OW ‘til OW2 season 2, and though I started out as a Bastion main, I switched to maining supports. He’s still my 3rd most played hero though, & I look forward to practicing what you’ve taught in the vid

As a long time casual bastion main this is the best guide I've ever seen, every other one is very shallow, great work !

[@Tuskor]

Thank you!

[@saquial]

I also like to use his sticky bomb as a way to create distance, if an enemy is too close you can throw the nade to the floor and then do a sticky jump away from the enemy, this and the knockback applied to your opponent basically creates a mid range engagement.

[@Tuskor]

great tip! I almost put this one in the video but I thought it was too inconsistent

I used to play the hell outta bastion back in 2018. Didn't get to play the game until recently, but this video's really helping me get the hang of him again.

[@BlackPryz]

Great Video, I always loved playing Bastion in Ow1. But in ow2 it just feels so... underwhelming. 6 seconds of Assault feels just.. Meh. I miss self heal when my healers were off fighting with the tanks. Grenade is fun however! What just really annoys me, is his gun. It used to be fun and easy, now it's so hard to fight with it. This guide provided a lot of helpful tips for that though! Still wish they'd give his rifle a slight buff!

[@davneyMR]

Watching this in Late Aug 2023 and im so glad they added the new area to the practice/ firing range. So useful!

as a bastion main, flanking is the most important skill to learn. not cross trekking the map, but holding a tight choke slightly behind the enemy team makes a huge difference for picks.

[@Tuskor]

Welcome! glad you liked the video

[@sethowitz6789]

You mentioned this briefly in the video but cannot stress this enough, bullying the enemies with no to little mobility with your ult is game changing. It's super annoying but when there is an ana on the enemy team I solo ult her every chance I get. Removing a support like ana out of the fight is a game changer. Also, one shot from your ult destroys a baptist immortality field so as long as you have two shots you can destroy the field and damage/kill.

[@Tsunamiopolis]

Bastion was my first main in Overwatch! This video helps a lot because I was thinking of playing bastion in comp since they're gutting roadhog lol

[@BobOrKlaus]

with the season 2 changes of shorter time for your artillery to come down and only 10 seconds cooldown on turret he is so much more fun to play now (ok maybe ive also learned how to properly aim too so that might play a role in it)

Back in 1 it seemed like recon and turret were starting to become more hand in hand throughout the updates, now it seems like turret is objectively better and recon is there to nerf it. Ramatra has the same issue with his 2 forms.

[@christopherking4648]

the whole point of bastion, and by design his ult, is to zone enemies they have to respect you or they will instantly die, so the advice for artillery is really good. BUT if you wanna be dumb an use his ult for kills specifically you need to get in peoples heads. try faking them out by using two shots to zone an area and lead them into the third shot or wait until the very end of the ult to fire all three shots to make yourself unpredictable. If you wanna get better at using his ult i would advise playing against it yourself to see what your targets might be thinking
