The hero whose one weakness was that he isn't mobile is now going mobile, while keeping the same insane DPS capabilities he has always had. On the buff end of things, Bastion can no move in Sentry form. This is a welcome change for those who felt like Bastion had too much self-sustain, though honestly I never felt like his self-repair was the big issue with him, so much as his insane damage output. Starting off with the nerfs, Bastion can no long self-repair.
And since I already don't enjoy playing against a hero that can take away my abilities whenever she wants, I am not super stoked on this rework so far, since now she can do it while remaining invisible.īastion's rework is less offensive than Sombra's, I think, but I am still very skeptical about it. To me, all of this makes Sombra sound even more oppressive and frustrating to play against, not less. On top of that, she will have her hack more often (every 3 seconds) and she will be able to hack while remaining invisible now! As if that wasn't annoying enough, they buffed her ultimate, which will now do 40% damage to all targets, so it doesn't just cancel enemy ultimate and abilities, it now also will deal straight damage to their health pool and she does extra damage to hacked targets now. But now, for the 8-second duration of the hack, the target will be visible to enemies through walls, which sounds very annoying. But based on first impressions, the reworks for both characters kept the aspects of the characters that are must frustrating about them, while making things that were mostly fine even more annoying.įor Sombra, her new abilities include an 8-second long hack that will cancel enemies abilities for 1 second instead of the whole time, which is a little less frustrating than before. With Sombra and Bastion being two of the most hated characters from Overwatch 1, I expected them to make changes to these kits to make them less oppressive. As part of the event, not only did they give us our first look at a high-level match of Overwatch 2 on the brand new push mode, they also revealed the new reworks for Bastion and Sombra.Īnd while I hope for the best, I fear these changes will actually make these characters more annoying. Animated shorts are a great way to flesh out a character: provide some depth for why my team can't push Hanamura's second point thanks to the Bastion stationed by the back-right pillar.This past weekend the Overwatch League hosted its Grand Final match. "The Last Bastion" will be Blizzard's fifth animated short for Overwatch, and I'm pretty excited to watch. Though a new hero would seem a bit hasty after Ana released less than a month ago. I'm sure many players were expecting a hero to be revealed at Gamescom, namely the rumored stealth hero Sombra. Fascinated by its unfamiliar surroundings, the curious omnic begins to investigate, but quickly discovers its core combat programming may have a different directive. In this episode, we follow the forgotten battle automaton as it unexpectedly reactivates after laying dormant in the wilderness for over a decade.
"The Last Bastion" tells the origin story of the inquisitive transforming robot, Bastion.
Or, you could watch it at the Blizzard Main Stage if you're in Cologne, Germany. Overwatch's next animated short will highlight the morphing robot hero Bastion, in a sequence titled "The Last Bastion." The video will drop on August 18th at 9am PT as part of Gamescom, and will be posted to Blizzard's Gamescom site.
