Imagine the chaos of not one, not two, but three Bastions rolling around in Overwatch 2 Classic mode. With all the nerfs rolled back, these metallic monsters are back to their 2016 glory days: infinite bullet spam, insane damage output, and zero chill. In Classic, Bastion’s stationary Sentry mode is back to being an absolute nightmare, turning the game into a bullet-riddled horror show for anyone unlucky enough to be on the other team.
Why are they so overpowered? Because all those beautiful, balance-saving nerfs we got over the years? Gone. Poof. It's like Blizzard decided to turn the clock back and let Bastion off the leash again, and, spoiler alert, the leash was there for a reason.
Here’s why these nerfs were a public service to Overwatch:
Stationary Sentry Mode: When Bastion goes into Sentry mode, it’s like setting up an automatic, mobile artillery unit. The fire rate, the damage, the absolute insanity of it—enemy players barely stand a chance. Three of these bad boys on one team, covering each other, is the Overwatch equivalent of setting up a wall of machine guns in a hallway. Good luck making it through that!
Infinite Bullet Stream: In Classic, Bastion can unleash bullets like there's no tomorrow. No cooldowns, no breaks—just non-stop destruction. With three Bastions raining bullets, the only thing the enemy team can do is pray they respawn faster than they’re mowed down.
Why They Got Nerfed: Look, there’s a reason Bastion has seen a lot of nerfs over the years. In 2016, this character could single-handedly decide games. Opponents had to treat him like a boss fight, just to take him down. So when all those “balancing adjustments” got added over time, it was for the sanity of the player base. But in Classic, it’s like they opened Pandora’s box again—and Bastion hopped right out with two equally terrifying friends.
In short, three Bastions in Overwatch 2 Classic mode are an unstoppable, ridiculous, bullet-spewing force of nature. Watching them in action is hilarious, terrifying, and a solid reminder of why we needed those nerfs in the first place!
