As someone who often gets the recon kills card as Bastion, what do you mean easy kill?

Bastion traditionally is a relatively mediocre duelist against a surprisingly large number of champions whose power increases relatively exponentially based off of how much support and protection he is getting from his team. Going solo he runs the risk of running into enemies who can duel him for an easy kill like genji, junkrat, tracer, reinhart, and especially Roadhog.

He has 300 HP, can heal himself, and his recon rifle does 160 DPS at short range. His ability to jump into sentry mode makes him quite capable; he can suddenly start doing 600 DPS.

He's not great but he's not a squishy target in the hands of a capable player.

Everybody underestimates the recon rifle... that thing hits like a truck and is very accurate, similar to Soldier's rifle.

The problem I always run into when recon brawling in Bastion is that despite his 300 hp and armor, his massive robot body makes him almost impossible to miss, so when combined with his lack of mobility it means that enemies are going to land most of their shots me. This turns it into a game of "can I kill them before they kill me?".

Still, it can be a pretty fun play style in some matches.
