Overwatch: Bastion PTR

If he wasn't annoying to you before, well he's about to get really ugly in this new update!!! It's time for the big buff for Bastion, the cute and lovable robot that everyone hates, atleast I do. Walking into a room and brutally getting shot down by a merciless Bastion is the worst. Getting mauled while he's in recon mode is totally embarrassing. And his horrific ult that kills everyone around him is just annoying. If you thought Bastion was OP, he's getting worse. For some reason, the developers had this crazy Idea to buff him in the most insane ways! In my opinion, Bastion was perfectly fine to me, now he's kinda better. I just got done playing some whack PTR modes, and man these people are creative with their board making.

Here we have Bastion's info from Overwatch web:


Sentry:
  • Bullet spread increased by 50 percent
  • Deploy time decreased from 1.5 seconds to 1.0 second
  • Bullet spread is always at maximum (it no longer increases as the weapon is fired)
  • Magazine size increased from 200 to 300
  • Headshot damage multiplier has been removed
  • No longer deals critical damage
Recon:
  • Bullet spread decreased by 25 percent
  • Magazine size increased from 20 to 25
Self-Repair:
  • Can now be used while moving
  • Now bound to secondary fire (formerly Ability 2)
  • No longer interrupted by taking damage
  • A new resource meter has been added that deplete while Self-Repair is active and recharges when not in use
Tank:
  • No longer grants bonus armor
Bastion has a new passive: Ironclad
  • Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Sentry or Tank configuration

'Doo woo?' No Bastion, you're not cute anymore
Things that were hella different with Bastion; Well let's see, we have a Soldier 76 gun now, quicker getting into turret mode, and of course everyone's heard of the walking and healing yourself. I mean, if a Mei tries to take you down, all ya gotta do is heal yourself every now and then while she's freezing you then shoot her with that gun of yours. You pretty much have taken her down. Any weak gun will not take him out and that was before the buff, now, it's less likely. I find the buff a little too big, and in all honesty, Bastion isn't a defense character anymore, he can freaking kill in recon mode, so, get ready to to get shot down by this giant. 

!You're in the big leagues now!
All I did was walk around and shoot down my enemies, and not to mention, if he didn't heal himself with his ult activated, he does in PTR. I'm not sure if he did before thousgh. Me not being a Bastion main wouldn't know, but I did heal myself as I was in my ult blasting everyone's limbs off. I say, don't get too close to the edge with the new Bastion, nor do you want to come in contact with too much of Reaper or Mcree. Stay away from the explosives, and heal yourself to the max now :)!!
