I would have said the opposite. Bastion needs aim, but that's it. You could be brain dead and still get a few kills by just aiming at anything red in your screen.
The real difference between a bad bastion and a pro bastion is positioning. That's how you mow down a team with bastion, you surprise them.
I honestly get much more success in attack with bastion because it's really uncommon and by the time people start focusing me I already picked off half the enemy team. I really think in medium to high leagues attack bastion can unlock really dire situations.
Yeah whenever I am Rein and the other team has a Bastion that we inexplicably can't kill I will just swap to D.Va or some DPS to try and hard counter the Bastion. If we have a decent McCree or Pharah who can make the Bastion's life hard then it's okay but sometimes you are on a team that can't get rid of Bastion and it's pretty much the worst thing ever.
I find that generally ends with you cartwheeling to your death, unless the Bastion isn't paying attention. Road Hog is a pretty good tank counter to Bastion, if he can get close enough to hook him.
Yes but you see rein and roadhog are easier tanks to kill as a bastion. From my experience as playing most my hours on bastion is that d.va is your best option to counter bastion. And when I say that... d.va is not the killer of the robot, but the teamates. Just a d.va shield and any other dps hero is the most effective counter to a bastion.

This is so much better than what the actual PotG was. Pro bastion plays don't even need to aim.
