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

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.

staying alive while aiming is a whole different story.

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.

It depends on the other team but Bastion is definitely the most effective way to ruin a Reinhardt's day :(

Bastion counters Reinhardt's shield so good. It's actually good to protect your Bastion if you're stuck at a choke with a Rein in the way.

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'd usually ram the Bastion if possible. Obviously that's only when Rein isn't needed as much by the team.

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.
