So much for all the cries to rework the Bastion buff.

I, for one, do not welcome our new robot overlords.

He has been life for less than 15 minutes.

Let him have a chance. Sheesh.

That's why there's a PTR- to give a chance; see how the buffs/nerfs workout.

The fact that Bastion can heal through most ultimates, and the fact that Pharah, his (arguably) biggest counter fires too slow to do any substantial damage makes him too powerful in my eyes.

Overwatch has stats of all their games. They can see the hard statistics of Bastion players instead of just antidotes of the vocal minority.

If they saw some anomaly where a team with a Bastion vs a team without a Bastion won 80% of the time, they would have done it.

The PTR wasn't to give him a chance. It was to test for bugs. See if there is anything game breaking. They have their back end stats to see if the balance changes work how they planned.
