Launching grenades over things and around crazy angles has always been fun, and Junkrat is seeing a resurgence, at least on console, to deal with Bastions.

D.Va can quite effectively cover for her team against a Bastion in Sentry mode. Though her recent nerfs have made her quite a bit weaker, the buff to Defense Matrix has not. Couple a Zenyatta with any reliable DPS (Pharah, Soldier, McCree) and you have one hell of a fair fight. While still weak and squishy with no mobility options, the utility of Discord orb in this Bastion meta is crucial it negates Ironclad, leaving Bastion with taking 10% bonus damage (Discord adds 30% bonus damage while Bastion gets 20% damage reduction from Ironclad, which combine additively according to this source). Sleep Dart is extremely easy to hit, considering Bastion's stationary nature and humongous hit box. Sleep darts will also take Bastion out of Sentry mode, and if you didn't read it before, read it again: Bastion is still a sitting duck. Try to time your hooks as best you can, and even if you don't get the Bastion, you may get another critical Hero, like the Rein himself, or perhaps the Mercy. If covered by a Reinhardt, remember this Reinhardts almost always love to firestrike, and at that point, his shield will be down. Hook is one of the only abilities that will pull Bastion out of Sentry mode, so use it wisely. Roadhog, despite his recent nerfs, is still a fantastic hero. She disrupts the set up completely, throwing down Reinhardt's shield, forcing Bastion out of Sentry mode, and stopping any ultimates those characters might have. Her hack is invaluable here, EMP even more so to deal with the group protecting the Bastion (Reinhardt, Mercy, etc). Sombra may have lower damage than other Assault heroes, but she has some unique kit that helps her take advantage of Bastion. Fear not though, for some heroes shine in this new Bastion meta: Sombra

Now, as you mention, he tends to get pocketed hard by a supporting team, and it would seem even pro teams like NRG and Rouge are building compositions based around a Bastion. However, Bastion still has one caveat he's still a sitting duck. Goodman and game director Aaron Keller did not mention any release date or year, but stated that playtests were ongoing and doing well.There has been a lot of complaining recently that Bastion can survive a lot of Hero ultimates with little difficulty.

His new Ultimate is now called Artillery Strike and lets players select three areas on the map where rockets will rain down from above. How is his Sentry/Turret mode this time? Bastion can now slowly move around the map in this form instead of staying in one place. His primary weapon no longer has spread but has a reduced rate of fire think burst-fire rifle. However, he has a new ability called Tactical Grenade, which is a projectile that bounces off walls and sticks to players to deal large amounts of damage. Z678niEUb5īastion’s Self-Repair skill is now removed. Enemy shields will not be removed though.Īll new ability updates for Sombra coming to Overwatch 2. Her EMP Ultimate will now deal damage to enemies equivalent to 40% of their current health and hack them. Plus, Sombra can hack while in Stealth mode. They’re also vulnerable to 50 percent extra damage from Sombra.

However, it comes in two flavours: Hack takes away hero abilities for a full second, with the other seven seconds showing the target hero’s location for Sombra & her teams. Her key ability, Hack, now lasts eight seconds and comes with a reduced three-second cooldown. The big goal for Sombra in part 2 is reducing her crowd control effects and increasing her potential damage. We got a peek at Sombra’s new outfit a few months ago, but now we get to see her new kit. During the Overwatch League pre-show, Overwatch 2 lead hero designer Geoff Goodman showed off some new details about the series’ DPS characters Sombra and Bastion.
