Bastion

Configuration: Sentry
Deploy time decreased from 1.5 seconds to 1.0 second
Bullet spread increased by 50 percent
Bullet spread is always at maximum (it no longer increases as the weapon is fired)
Magazine size increased from 200 to 300
Headshot damage multiplier has been removed
No longer deals critical damage

Configuration: Recon
Bullet spread decreased by 25 percent
Magazine size increased from 20 to 25

Self-Repair
Can now be used while moving
Now bound to secondary fire (formerly Ability 2)
No longer interrupted by taking damage
A new resource meter has been added that deplete while Self-Repair is active and recharges when not in use

Configuration: Tank
No longer grants bonus armor

Bastion has a new passive: Ironclad
Bastion takes 35% less damage while in Sentry or Tank configuration

Developer Comments: The goal of these changes is to move some of Bastion's power from Configuration: Sentry to Recon, while keeping its sentry mode a strong option, especially versus tanks and barriers. Overall, Bastion should feel stronger and more flexible with these changes.

It'll be interesting, they are switching up his role, for the better imo.

Hrmm, my friend at work told me some JR stuff, but I can't seem to find any official notes about it..

This is my experience on most video game forums, but it's kind of a necessary evil. Truth of the matter is people at average levels of game play just don't have the capability of properly assessing the impacts their suggestions will actually make (most of the time). They think they are being helpful, but they are really just spreading misinformation or unfounded opinions. Problem is the players that do understand the game to a level where they can make proper criticisms have a tendency to attack stupid ideas instead of explaining why they are wrong; probably because average players think they know everything and will argue back forever if they aren't shut down.
