True. But a reaper can shadow step behind him. Even if the bastion notices you and turns to attack you, they are exposing their back to the rest of your team. That is of course provided enough teammates are there, but I imagine that soon people will learn how to counter bastion. It isn't terribly difficult.

If we're talking Bastion then i'm going to quote this from @YM in the VIP-only overwatch thread there was before this one started:

VIP-only overwatch thread

Oh that's why people said there wasn't an overwatch thread. heh I never even considered it was in the VIP lounge!

 

[LeSwordfish]

Also it was called "this Mei surprise you" so I see why they might have missed it.

 

[YM]

Wait, no I've got two thread mixed up, I'm thinking of this one http://tf2maps.net/threads/overwatch-beta.26128/

It's not Dragons.

but it's good.

 

[Moonfixer]

Yeah, it was pretty decent. I liked it.

 

[Joshenkstone]

I'm starting to think that every short has been worked on by different people. they are all so different.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

With the turn around of each of the shorts? Absolutely.

 

[Hoplitejoe]

I like that the "story" is still not really important at this point, it's set up, but at the moment we just building characters/themes.

 

[Moonfixer]

Yeah. It sort of puts me in the mind of the tf2 meet the team shorts.

How to turn "generic action hero" into one of my favorite characters in one easy step: make him the Punisher.

The striations in the rock where it's been carved out into archways...
UNF
Also all the rocks in general are really great
Also everything else about the maps in Overwatch. They belong in an art gallery

 

[LeSwordfish]

Sad as I am that custom OW mapping isnt possible... whatever blizzard are doing, they're doing it gorgeously.
