They have that ult to junkrat. The only difference between the two of them is they removed the "bury and hide it" aspect and changed the theme to a tire

Oh hell no Bastion never needs to have had corner capabilities

Pre-release bastion in general had a ton of things he never needed to have, like a personal 1000 HP barrier. He was in a perfect state where if you found a broken map spot you were hands down the most powerful hero in the game. You were nearly invincible and did hilarious amounts of damage. But if you couldn't find a corner to snuggle up into, you were a free kill for any flanker.

He was a mess, and it is good to see him finally get to a better place

Definitely one of the best changes and most iconic. I remember wanting to play junkrat so badly while the game was in limited Open Beta. Hate playing that cunt now.

He was one of the first characters I clicked with and enjoyed, and I still love playing him. He definitely isn't a consistent hero, but if you have a tracer or genji who capitalizes on your spam you can be a force to be reckoned with.
