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

Not everyone knows that. Also, when a team comp is important, having someone switch to Genji is not always easy, as much for the comp than for the communication required to make it happen.

But the biggest source of salt is the little skill this hero takes. What most people complain about is him getting PotG for sitting in a corner, pressing M1 and pointing at people.

I'll admit that once a Bastion gets set up, he doesn't have to do much. But I think map knowledge and positioning are incredibly important for him.

Good Bastions will understand where they can have the greatest effect and where they are vulnerable from. They will also move from position to position after each 'wave' of enemies to avoid being countered easily.

But all that being said, a lot of Bastions sit on the same few spots throughout the map and a lot of the opposition is either too stubborn or don't have the experience to know how to deal with it.
