Bastion is viable in comp if you stay in recon mode. i'm going to make this a thing.

if the meta changes, we'll know who to thank.
Nice. Thought so.

This is the most demoralizing thing. You can have an amazing game, or even a decent win streak, and a loss or two just eats away so much of your rank at once.
Isn't he just a crappier 76 at that point? I think too many Bastions ignore recon but if you aren't able to get a good sentry spot much then 76 would probably make more sense?

pretty much every match I've played in ranked had a Rein - an insanely skilled Rein that was on offence & defence. It's kinda ridiculous. LOL
Just had my first placement win. On Hollywood, the opposition got all 3 points and we were struggling. No teamwork. Then our turn to attack - we got the first point super quick thanks to me flanking then with Reaper and confusing the fuck out of them before taking the point.
And then they all rage quit. Except ONE guy. Suddenly the payload was moving uncontested and I was like wtf is going on. Check the players and they're all gone. So fucking stupid.

Freezing the person
Executing the person with a headshot
Disposing the body
Celebrating her victory
She is evil incarnate.
It wont be a mistake for their bottom line, they made loads of money on this game, they will get that blood lust and do a sequel after a while. They have a hit on their hands and make no mistake, it will be a franchise.
Edit-i could be wrong of course, but i know id buy the sequel

Meh. Dunno. I think for all that I hate the MOBA comparisons, those models show a pretty viable road forward.
I'd certainly buy it, just don't know that's what's best for the IP.
You thinking they can make a profit while sustaining development on free characters and maps, whilst only selling loot boxes?
At least it isn't just me and we know its also on XB1. Thanks for the replies

thanks seagull.
lol idk tbh. i rarely play s76. the only thing he got over bastion is the quick speed but bastion do got the no cooldown self heal but i guess s76 can heal and attack at the same time but that heal goes too slow. bastion's gun might be a little strong. at least it feels like it.
i might give s76 a go but i hope people in QP think i'm a pro or something because i have a star lol.

Depends on how they proceed with monetization.
If they only sell loot boxes, then no, they might not. Although they are still getting $40 off each player up front.
I could easily see the monetization scheme switched to be a little more akin to a Dota 2 style though. Get the community involved in creating stuff to buy so that you have a constant stream of high quality content for loot boxes (and sale) and then sell character skins, environmental effects, announcer packs, HUD skins, loadings screens, the whole nine yards.
They'd make freaking bank off of that.

Soldier-76 has great speed, Helix bomb, and AOE team healing. He is faster and has a safer high-DPS weapon. His utility is much higher than that of Bastion, who needs great teammates and can get countered hard (there is no escaping Genji or Pharah who blind-sided you as you are easier to hit).
I used Soldier-76, and I got great results with him instantly; he can cover mid-range and air pretty effectively. He can work with nearly every team comp and any map.

just tried him he's cool. but i'm going to stick with bastion because it looks fun running around with him on the map

Surprising people with Bastion is the worst thing you can do. It works so well on shitty players who clutter together and don't consider watching all flanking routes.
Was in quickplay and we demolished a team on Hanamura in two minutes. Bastion tried to ambush us at the front game and lost badly cause we had a Reinhardt guard us as we were killing Bastion behind him.
Then in point B instead of trying to fight and contest he set up on the rafters to try and get us as we ran in but my ice wall blocked him off. Haha.

Yeah quick play is so bad right now LOL. We got into an argument in quick play Anubis once where some guy called Reaper (he was level 80 something and everyone was at least 30 lower) starts bitching at team picks and coordination. I immediately picked Pharah because I wanted to practice her, so some idiot picks her after me and asks if I can switch, but I immediately refused and told him I picked first. No one bothers picking healer/tank, even that Reaper guy (because he is the pro general/spoiled princess who orders people around). We end up smashing them in the first point, and then having some difficulty in the second point until I flanked hard, got below with a pixel left to heal, and then surprise ult at point blank. I got like two gold medals and two other silver/bronze once, and I tell him "see" in chat (so smug, I almost punched my own face).
Quick play feels much calmer now for me at least; people are more rude and talkative once ranked was released. It is confusing; QP is practice mode now, but it doesn't mean having complete shit comp and no effort in playing seriously.
Was playing King of the Hill, and there was an enemy Symmetra spawn camping our base, planting turrets on the entrance and them ambushing us when we tried to destroy them. This type of behavior is pretty much frowned upon, right?
Also I was playing Escort on Competitive and was tied 0-0 when a teammate bailed out on us. Amazingly, our team took control of the payload and won 1-0! Unfortunately, I barely leveled up after that win.

I dunno. Some people would say spawn-camp killing is BMing, but I'd say git gud.

Just started playing competitive today and I've seen more quitters than usual
I just came to post this since it happened to me a moment ago.
You should be welcoming that kind of play with open arms.
i had this happen in the second round of a game my team was stomping
everyone else left eventually too, i stayed to drag the game out so they couldn't queue up again

First few shot have zero recoil, and then you have a weird spread pattern.

If one person can shut down the whole team by spawn camping then he's doing his job. Ignore what the haters say, it's not that easy to maintain a spawn camp when many heroes are designed to break camps

i noticed lol. but still easy to manage. idk why i had trouble during the brawl
tfw when you can't protect your mercy when symmetra is after her so mercy jumps off the cliff into the ice water

Fuck, they need to fix how comp handles drops. Just lost a match because someone dropped second round and left us to get steamrolled.
I don't want to play with a team of 5 Meis or against a team of 6 Torbjorns. People are assholes. I should be able to leave if I want, within reason.
Nah, pretty much you have to queue with reliable people if you want to guarantee that you won't get fucked over by a leaver.
Or just make the leaver punishment more immediate and severe

I honestly think they should make the 30 sec timer that appears when someone D/Cs at the very beginning of a match universal throughout the entirety of the set.
