I can't think of a single map where junkrat can't hit him from cover and all you need to do is rush/get on top of him for it to be over. There's no way he can react to a close range rush from Reinhardt, almost every hero can just pop out of cover and shoot him a few times, as long as you have two people do that the Bastion is going down. I've downed Bastion with Zenyatta and Lucio just by being at max range. It can get kind of dicey in Kings Row but there are plenty of ways to get above or behind him there.

Earlier in beta he had a limited firing arc but also had a shield, which was horrible since he always was planted in corners.


I think they need to bring back the limited firing arc without the shield. Or at least slow down his turns while in turret mode. It's crazy that he can just whip around and instantly kill a Tracer/Genji/Reaper who blinks behind him.

He had nothing to fear from a Reinhardt as long as he isn't deployed on his plane.

I'm not sure "just gang up on him with 2 people" really counts as a counter.

I've never beat or lost as him in a "duck and snipe" battle thanks to his crazy self heal.


I tend to agree with Widowmaker, I guess they have to thro in a sniepr because people FUCKING LOVE SNIPERS but both her and and Hanzo feel just irritating team comp wise. They're either jacking off dueling or wrecking your entire team. Certainly someone could go Donkey Kong to harass them but who WILL?


There's a little too many heroes whose kit amounts to "wait until enemy pops around corner to instantly kill them".

Hanzo and Genji started out as the same hero (ninja with a bow) but it wasn't working so they split up into two.

Donkey Kong = Winston? I'm having trouble justifying ever picking him over Reinhardt, Warthog, or D-Va. His damage blows and the shield nerf made him totally inferior to Reinhardt for that role. He's only good when his ult is up.

I was starting to get annoyed how Junkrat can just use his remote charge as an instant kill grenade. At least make him wait until it hits the ground before he can blow it.
