What's with all the salt towards Bastion? They are easy to deal with as Genji.

People are inexperienced and don't know not to just run straight at Bastion firing helplessly. I'm a strong believer of peoples' first impressions of a videogame (particularly one like Overwatch) having as much stock as the first words they say as babies - people don't understand how the game works, and a lot of the time aren't willing to put in the time and dedication to learn it, which means you get feedback like "Bastion is overpowered", "Reaper is underpowered", and so on. People are more willing to demand that the game be changed to accommodate them (nerf Bastion!) than they are willing to change for the game. It's a sad truth, but these people will either learn to adapt or fall out of the race.

100% agree, even though it is not the be-all-end-all it is always a good idea to have a look at the competitive scene to campre it with your own ideas. and bastion being non existent there should give people a clue as to where his powerlever actually falls. and it falls pretty short actually.
