A junkrat or two can tear down a reinhardt shield pretty fast, and they should be able to find a vantage that doesn't expose them to fire from any of the bastion or turrets, assumign that rein is shielding all of them. If a mccree can get close, his flashbang, thrown over the shield, should stun the rein and the bastion. Failing all that, you can just put snipers outside of range of the turrets with a lucio to heal and hammer on that shield until it goes down. It's got a lot of health, but under concentrated fire, it goes down pretty quick.
If you're being camped outside of spawn, Pharah and Junkrat are the best formation disruptors.
I would say the really difficult part about countering 3x Bastion/Torbjorns + Reinhardt is that you need 3 people on your team taking them out at the same time. It's trivial to destroy any one Bastion, but it's another story when, after destroying one Bastion and advancing, you're faced with another Bastion, and/or a Turret.
Hanamura B is very guilty of this effect because of the layout. It's so easy for Defense to set up an impregnable fortress there. The disparity comes from the fact that 3 Bastions/Torbjorns doing what they want to do will naturally create the aforementioned impregnable defense whereas 3 Pharahs doing what they want to do won't counter the former unless they coordinate.

Eh the had a Lucio with speed boost and he was just getting shot, didn't think about soldier. Does soldier go fast enough (with speedboost) that turrets don't track him?
I guess it would take a coordinated team, as even if one of them got away as I say, I would kill them with Genji, which didn't tend to be difficult in itself.
Pharah was just dying and we were on high ground so Junkrat wasn't especially useful either. What is Phara expected to do to get out alive? Her rockets did not dent Reinhearts shields.
I think using Mei's icewall to approach coupled with speed boost and rushing in different directions might be the best bet but I still think half of them are likely to die on the way out. It seems the level of play in quick match is pretty low. I lose a decent portion of my games I suppose, but it seems like when we actually talk to each other and coordinate any kind of strategy it pretty much falls apart for the opposing team.

This site is so cool, nice to see i'm so high up with one of the few that play the dwarf. 3rd with torb, 12 with lucio, 41 with mercy on PS4. My top 3 played.

If Bastion is protected by a Reinhardt, that's difficult because it renders a Roadhog (normally good against Bastion) ineffective.
How about a team comp of something like Genji, Reinhardt, Mei, Pharah, Lucio and Junkrat?

"H" is for Ryuu ga waga teki go fuck yourself
There is literally not a single "H" in that phrase.
What exactly are you trying to pull here, Tecnniqe?

I'd love to tell you how many times tonight I missed my Roadhog bodyshots on Numbani attack, but I can't. Because I can't count that high.
Sometimes my widowmaker shit comes together.
Sometimes it reaaaally doesn't.

I push the objective and drop shields wherever the my teammates are to provide cover. I do a lot of large jumps to get behind enemies and start zapping them in the back. The jump is great when you want to get to objectives, run away from enemies and sometimes confusing them. I've had a couple moments where a well aimed jump made the enemy lost track of me. Jump is also good for easily jumping up to sniper spots and killing Widows. Ults seems to come really easy too given how in your face I try to get when fighting. Only issue I have is losing track of where anything is when I ult.

If they had a Junkrat, they could have angle some shots out of the door to help some, had a Rein or two out front to provide cover for runners.
Was it Route 66?
That happened to me yesterday. It wasnt on holywood was it?

You want to add a Sniper in there, Reinhardt can only ever shield in one direction, while you have people distracting the front, shoot Bastion in the back. You need to flank from 2 sides at once.

That's true. I was actually thinking that Winston wouldn't necessarily be an awful choice to disrupt and draw fire, but a sniper would probably be a better replacement. A decent sniper instead of Pharah might actually work better.

Come back to me when you miss Reinhardt's shield.
Not because I've done it. I just want to laugh at you.

The coat ruins his silhouette for me. I like the close fit of his clothes.
This is probably my most favorite Genji kill so far.
I think I'm ready to finally say Genji's my favorite. Roadhog and Pharah are incredible, but no stone cuts the river quite like Genji.

It is, because I had pubbies doing it, and it's not hard to beat.

It's not a frequent occurence, but I'm sure I've done it at some point.

It's a silent "H"?
M-maybe?
Hanzbando
Is it also an invisible H? Is that what the kids are into these days?

Pretty slick kill.
Wish I was good enough to use him since he's my only damn legendary skin
This was easily the most insane match I've had. Felt like an infinite overtime at 99% vs 99% on the second round that eventually turned into a win for our team, though we didn't pull off the final round.
I've barely played Tracer so far but holy hell that was fun.
Yes.
Totes.
Don't think so. Don't think I've even played on the Hollywood map before. Level 9 here.

Ran a match as one of five Bjorns and one Mercy, it was done as a joke, but we ended up spawn trapping the other team the entire match.

McCree, maybe Reaper or Mei.
The fight really comes down to whether or not you can dodge the hook.

Running circles around him with Tor's shotgun is fun! Not the best choice for sure, but that's what I do a lot.

You haven't lived until you've done a 6-man Lucio defense.
We actually won that game.

Snipers work. Pharah works. Line of sight between shots, only expose yourself to a single turret at a time, and you can make pretty short work of them.
My team tried 6-man Bastion. It was a complete disaster. We switched halfway through but still managed to win the game lol.
It's like the third time ive run into that. My team got stomped like ants in a picnic.
Huh, I'm #72 overall on PS4's board.
nice. #20 as Zenyatta and i've used him for only 2 hours apparently lol

I just don't utilise his ult efficiently. Ah well, practice makes perfect!

Holy shit according to that site I'm 51:55 overall, but 15:1 as S76. Either my S76 play has been really lucky or I am far and away better with him than I am any other character.

It's not remotely a valid strategy, snipers in general or Pharrah or Reapers teleport can get past them...but there are a couple spots on a few maps that multiple Bjorn turrets can be a hassle.
#37 Symmetra. Sure, I'll take it
