Overwatch's Bastion Has Some Incoming Changes

Poor Bastion. When Overwatch launched, the wee robot was maligned by all. He seemed ludicrously powerful, and reduced a lot of the game to one player just setting up shop to then just point and click things dead.

Since then though, most players have figured out Bastion and he has somewhat fallen out of favour. He's good for a surprise attack, but is mostly just used as a stunt pick in the game now. Some Overwatch fans took to the game's forums to point out Bastion's role in the game right now, and how he could use a buff and some changes.

And as Blizzard have done so much since the game launched, they responded. According to principal designer Geoff Goodman, the character currently has changes that are being experimented with. He said:

I'm actually working on some changes for him right now. I'm not quite sure when these changes will hit the live game, we're still testing different things internally.

There were no specifics given on this yet, but one would have to imagine it will be something a little more involved than just a bump in health or damage. Perhaps the speed at which he changes form? While I'm not sure anyone wants to go back to the beginning of the game when he was overpowered, it would be nice if he became viable once again.
