I like how you spent about 90-95% of that game in recon mode, but the PotG was still a Bastion holding left-click in sentry mode. Blizz please put less emphasis on Bastion's DPS in sentry mode for PotGs, we know he does a ton of damage. There were far more awesome plays in recon mode in this game. ;_; And yes, I realize the PotG was because of the shutdown, but still - there were a bunch of really awesome highlights of recon mode.
I don't recall saying not to use the Sentry Form? just that people need to focus on using their Recon more often and employing the Sentry mode tactically. Sitting in one place does no one any good which is where this stigma of Bastion being bad on attack comes from. Bastion is very good at establishing and holding zones of fire. That is something a Soldier 76 can't do. He has 300 health and armor which is more than any of the offense heroes have. (While still maintaining the same level of damage as S76 in Recon mode alone.) And again, there is no hero which can deny Reinhardt his shield quite like Bastion can, Bastion can rip it down himself in very little amount of time. Other heroes have to rely on focus firing as a group to achieve the same. With a 62% WR on Bastion, I'm fairly certain I know what I'm talking about in this case. Did you watch the video?
bastion can destroy a full health bastion shield in 4.4 seconds. The next closest is reaper, at 7.1, which is nearly double, AND reaper will die before he is allowed to unload 7.1 shots at point blank into the shield. The next is tracer at 8.3 seconds. I don't really think of tracer as a shieldbreaker, she's too squishy, so that leaves us with junkrat at 10 seconds. 4.4 seconds, vs 10 seconds. Quite a difference. He does serve a purpose. Should bastion be run full time? Hell no, but that doesn't keep him from being useful on offense if a team really is having problems with a Reinhardt.
Channing Helmling-Cornell tahats true, but then again if you actually have a proper squad behind your own reinhardt shield you will be able to break that shield. Bastion does do a lot of damage to shields but isn't much when not in turret mode.
on a few things 1. smashing reinshield is always better in sentry. 2. u shud have lost a lot of those duels in this game, enemy had bad aim and i suspect u may have smurf account. 3. enemy team really sucked. super over extended and trickling. Tips for ur play include: 1.using high ground advantage, 2.play with ur team members, 3. use cover more, 4.dont ult into reinshield, destroy it with sentry and then ult, 5. dont ult the tanks, ult the squishys and dps from high ground. Thanks heaps, great vid overall
Hey man great commentary, I liked it! I would appreciate it if you could check out my latest commentary because I'm new to at them as well. Thank you and keep up the videos.
Bastion's probably my favorite character. Thanks for the tips
Xova same👏🏼
Nice work bud! Some fun games last night
Nice vid. Good and informative. Mic's a bit quiet though. But I did learn a few things.
You're using the best skin... the one with a blue jay.

Thx you help me rage more people
Any chance you''ll tell me what rank you are?
Rank 56 right now. mostly Solo Queue. ^^
protip dont use bastion on attack
OR- Maybe, just maybe, you can check out some pro games and you'll realize he's a pocket pick to counter Reinhardt.
Game is hard. :)
***** but he really doesn't have much HP and isnt too strong without his turret form. there is plenty hero's who can take out rein's shield

no wonder why the video ks 9:11
So you played a crappier version of S76.
hi bastion main here. Great vid on the use of recon mode. ur aim is pretty amazing. i actually disagree
