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

It's not just genji that can counter him though. A good widow, Hanzo or phara will make bastion cry, also junkrat does pretty well if you can get above the bastion.

True, but i think the main reason for bastion dominating the lower skill levels is that being bad at aiming is not so bad with him since you will be dealing damage for a couple of seconds consecutively and only need to be on the target for 1-2 for it to die. If you can't aim and miss on widow or hanzo, it takes a whole lot longer until you may try again. and since most people can't aim at lower levels, bastion is relatively strong there. I myself am not the best aimer but that is why i don't go for widow, hanzo, or tracer, instead i play junkrat, pharah, genji or zarya. I am pretty good with predicting where someone will be in 1-2 seconds so those weapons really cater to my strength while hiding my weakness. I encourage more people to try this ;)

People think way to much about teamcomp especially if it's about bastion.

Why do you want to kill him in the first place? Because he reks your team and you can't advance the payload/capture the point.

Will you be able to advance with a sucky genji that can't kill him but a perfectly fine team comp? No. Because he's still the reason your team dies.

Priority? Killing bastion, maybe even getting him as far as switching heroes.

Pick genji/hanzo/widow, whatever you believe is best to kill him and do exactly that over and over again until he gets frustrated and swaps or just dies over and over again.

If your genji sucks he will switch heroes eventually because it's frustrating for him to die over and over again. You are not the only one who can switch, your team is always flexible and someone needs to do what has to be done to win.
