Overwatch |OT| My Onlywatch Has Ended

Hes really easy, in turret mode he has a giant weak spot behind him where he takes more damage. junk/pharah/widow can get him without exposure. He actually feels like they toned him down damage wise
I really don't think Overwatch
will die on consoles. I've seen a thirst for this game with plenty of people who have 0 interest in those other games.
Ok that's really cool, do other characters have something as unique?

I kill him in about 3 seconds with Pharah. I make him kill himself even quicker with Genji.
Seriously, Genji neutralizes Bastion in a hurry.

Awesome. That's 100% what I was hoping for. Thanks for the info!
Trying to hit Genji, Tracer, or any "jumpy" character like Symmertra, on a controller is one of the most fustrating experiences I've had in gaming all year.

Yeah some characters have changes. Imp/Valkyrie Mercy have line changes for their ultimates. Scarecrow Junkrat changes the model of his tire. Some of Reinhardt's skins change his hammer to an axe (Blackheardt and Bloodheardt I think.) Roadhogs Mako skin changes his hook to an anchor.

One of us ended up swapping to Lucio but yeah, it was a legit strategy for almost the entire game. Not even their desperate Bastion swap could contain us.

I would recommend a low sensitivity for any character that relies accuracy on consoles.
20 tick servers (;
Add me: TJ Ram, I'm always down to play.
I really do hope so. But it's still funny seeing people in here claim it's not a problem right now because it clearly is.
Mine too!
It's amazing just eating (absorbing) a Tracer bomb, a Hanzo dragon ultimate, a D.Va self-destruct, all by timing your barrier for an instant +50% damage boost.

Yeah I usually like high sensitivity in my games but I've started to learn that I need to dial it down for this game
I can completely wreck a teams offense so easily with Symmetra, she is really damn good when you know how to place those turrets and use her guns. Think the last game I played before I went to work today I had an 18 - 0 killstreak going, even got POTG where I took down 3 running into the slow shots and dying to turrets
Ooooh shit, so that's how she's supposed to be used.. I felt like there was something I was missing!
This was kind of my point a few pages back. Dupe characters in a team sort of break the game imo. Even a little thing like two Mei's seems cheap. I've went up against two Torbjorns and thought it was a little ridiculous, can't imagine 6 lol.

Any Xbox one teams playing? I'm in mikthegreygoose

Played a whole team of Roadhogs last night. They kind of shocked us at first and kicked our asses out of the gate. But we managed to change some characters around and then did away with them easily.
I think the issue is that people assume that, just because a character has a counter, that the character you're countering, will always lose.
What the fuck is this bullshitI wish more people had a chance to experience OG Bastion.

Well, after playing a ton on Xbox One at a friend's house, I went and got a PC copy. How's the community so far?

I did it by accident at first -- saw the dragons and was stuck so I figured I would just hit my barrier .. and I ate it with no damage (or very little). Shocked!
Did the same with the others I mentioned and not only did I not get killed, I was energized and pushed forward with a bigger beam and grenade explosions to chase them down.
If you can time both your barrier and a teammates barrier too at the same time, even better!
Who thought that was a good idea?I wish more people had a chance to experience OG Bastion.
Usually I don't have big problems dealing with Bastions, and only rarely even see him. But I had a game tonight on King's Row where his team on defense did a solid job backing him up on the final stretch.
Now I hear a constant BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR outside the game.

Bastion dies in like seconds in every game me and my friends play.
Basically a non character at this point.
Styling on that man all the time.
It's also fun to snipe Torbjörn turrets with Lucio.
You just need a slight pixel of theirs and snipe away
And if he keeps repairing it, it feeds my delicious Ult

Don't worry; he couldn't turn 360 during that time. Winston was a hard counter to Bastion.

Don't walk in front of him? Play Genji and deflect? Shoot him with McCree, Widowmaker, Zenyatta or Hanzo from far away? Blow him up with Pharah or Junkrat?
If you know where he is and die to him more then once that's your fault.
The key thing is that even though it has 200 points of worth of blocking the barrier will absorb all the damage from a single attack before it breaks. It's still not really for tanking since most of the time you're hit by a bunch of weak attacks but it's good for initiating and retreating, especially since it negates all crowd control effects like Mei's Freeze. Probably as people get used to the mechanics, getting people to stop spraying shots for a bit will be useful too.

I agree. This game has legs on all platforms. I know what has happened in the past with PC shooters coming to console but this has had a much more significant push than CSGO console and TF2 console. TF2 got no post support and CSGO just kind of came and fizzled out on console because no one in the console space cares about CSGO and if they do they'll play it on their PC since it isn't an intensive game to run. This game has had a huge marketing push and the open beta opened the hype gates even further. So many of my friends and so many of their friends friends are getting into this game on all manner of platforms. This won't fizzle out the way other PC shooters have on console, there's just no way. That and so many have fallen in love with the characters of this game, that boosts attach rate. It's going to remain huge.

Please tell me there's a video?I wish more people had a chance to experience OG Bastion.
Seriously if I see Hollywood or Hanamura one more time I'm gonna uninstall this shit. Where are the other maps?!
Oh and Bastion is pretty good if you got the right support. Extra armor and a shield is pretty helpful! You can win Volskaya Industries or Hollywood pretty easily with a Bastion.

We lost against a team of Bastions in Route 66 near the end. They all set up choke points and destroyed us.
