BASTION COUNTER OVERWATCH PC PRO

Keep in mind too that while Bastion may be overpowered at this point, there are a few things to consider. Sentry mode damage against farther away DPS targets is still difficult. Remember, Blizzard developed this new Bastion with tank busting in mind, to throw off the triple tank meta. Considering too that Sentry mode's spread is always at max, it makes hitting some of the smaller DPS characters quite difficult. These are just a few examples, but there are plenty of combinations that still work against Bastion. Without testing her out, I cannot say for sure how well it works, but as of 3/2/17 ( with Orisa's reveal) it would seem to be a solid anchor tank counter. It would appear that some of Orisa's abilities will allow her to deal with Bastion personally, as well as providing necessary cover for her team to do the same.

Reflect is fantastic for positioning yourself against a Bastion, allowing you to get in and harass the enemy team, disrupting their setup by forcing the Reinhardt to turn to address you, or causing the Mercy/Zenyatta to make themselves scarce. Despite being one of the highest skill-cap heroes, Genji is shining once more. Rip-Tire is also still a fantastic tool for getting the defense to scatter, and possibly securing a much needed kill or two to push the fight in the attacker's favor. His ability to stay in some cover, while still pestering an area or denying access to that area, is unparalleled. Launching grenades over things and around crazy angles has always been fun, and Junkrat is seeing a resurgence, at least on console, to deal with Bastions. D.Va can quite effectively cover for her team against a Bastion in Sentry mode. Though her recent nerfs have made her quite a bit weaker, the buff to Defense Matrix has not. Couple a Zenyatta with any reliable DPS (Pharah, Soldier, McCree) and you have one hell of a fair fight.

While still weak and squishy with no mobility options, the utility of Discord orb in this Bastion meta is crucial it negates Ironclad, leaving Bastion with taking 10% bonus damage (Discord adds 30% bonus damage while Bastion gets 20% damage reduction from Ironclad, which combine additively according to this source). Sleep Dart is extremely easy to hit, considering Bastion's stationary nature and humongous hit box. Sleep darts will also take Bastion out of Sentry mode, and if you didn't read it before, read it again: Bastion is still a sitting duck. Try to time your hooks as best you can, and even if you don't get the Bastion, you may get another critical Hero, like the Rein himself, or perhaps the Mercy. If covered by a Reinhardt, remember this Reinhardts almost always love to firestrike, and at that point, his shield will be down. Hook is one of the only abilities that will pull Bastion out of Sentry mode, so use it wisely. Roadhog, despite his recent nerfs, is still a fantastic hero. She disrupts the set up completely, throwing down Reinhardt's shield, forcing Bastion out of Sentry mode, and stopping any ultimates those characters might have. Her hack is invaluable here, EMP even more so to deal with the group protecting the Bastion (Reinhardt, Mercy, etc). Sombra may have lower damage than other Assault heroes, but she has some unique kit that helps her take advantage of Bastion. Fear not though, for some heroes shine in this new Bastion meta: Sombra

Now, as you mention, he tends to get pocketed hard by a supporting team, and it would seem even pro teams like NRG and Rouge are building compositions based around a Bastion. However, Bastion still has one caveat he's still a sitting duck. There has been a lot of complaining recently that Bastion can survive a lot of Hero ultimates with little difficulty.
