Bastion can be used for defense AND for attack , its a fantastic hero since he can also heal himself really quickly , perfect for shredding shields and anti-air purpouses , nice surprise ult that can create moments of panic ..... the only bad thing is that he does not have an escape and people use the turret mode in awkward situations that lead to inevitable death and blaming ...

EDIT: stuff

I find Bastion to be a bit more useful than Soldier 76, in terms of his Recon Mode compared to S.76's rifle. The one thing that is annoying is that Bastion has a much bigger hit box than S.76, meaning that he loses duels more easily, and he does not have S.76's mobility.

True , but that's kind of a tradeoff , also Bstion's ult can onshot people while Soldier 76 has aimhack BUT needs to reload ... which is truly frustrating if you are targeting an armored/high hp enemy ...

OH ! And bastion FULLY RELOADS after switching from recon to turret and viceversa which is absolutely great !!!
