Bastion Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in B and C tier, slightly buff one part of the kit and slightly nerf another. The goal is to reduce the unfair parts of a hero while lessening their weaknesses.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Configuration: Assault

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Damage reduced to 340 dps.

   Current issue

   The damage has always felt really high.

2. A-36 Tactical Grenade

   Adjustment

   Proposed adjustment

   6 second cooldown, blasting Bastion 25 m/s, with damage reduced to 90 on a direct hit and 40 splash.

   Current issue

   Bastion's mobility is low.

   Reason

   Lets him move around more reliably.
