+hotpocketpoison Genji's Reflect, Pharah's Concussion Blast, Hanzo/ Widowmaker, Reinhardt shield (can protect your team for a good five seconds, enough to get some shots off), Junkrat can corner shot or concussion mine, Roadhog's hook, Charged Zenyatta blast, If a reaper comes up from behind like he should the bastion will die quickly, tracer can blink rapidly and recall if need be, McRee's stun (Pretty risky with how close you need to be though) D.Va's defense matrix can allow teammates to get shots off. Look at all of those options, a lot of them not even requiring two people.
***** bastion has a million counters. if the bastion is out playing Genji, either sniper, or Junkrat is not that bastion is OP, the Genji / sniper/ Junkrat is just dumb.
***** You are assuming every Bastion plays perfectly every time, and also assuming there isn't such a thing as cover, or team mates. A lot of those classes can take out an unaware Bastion, and if he is alert enough to take on one player at a time, you can always work with ONE other person, one be a shielder of some kind, the other an attacker. Or double flanking. If you can't find one person to work with you for a brief moment, you have a bad team.
+josh woodferd honest to god though no one fucking switches to counter dumb shit like this. Then they bitch about it instead. Bastion is the little mac of overwatch
+Octosquidy yoooooooo it's so true, if people would stop bitching and, I hate to use this but I feel it's necessary, "git gud" there wouldn't be any so much hate
+Octosquidy but u know man, i think people only play serious in competitive rank mode . Quick match .......... , they just choose what they want to play, no tank , no healer , most of the time you see tracer and windowmaker in your team and they cant even aim. This game community is even worse than League of Legend, in LOL even in normal match , people still follow the meta and pick correct role
This is why i love UA-cam "Recommend" area.I see people who put work and effort into there content who i would normally never ever see. Fuckin great video man keep up the good work. You just earned a sub man.
i love bastion not because i think he's op , in which i dont, but because i think his animations are charming, creative play style, and his back story.
finally found this channel after 5 years of not being able to remember brads name and these videos literally got me through a lot of my early teens and they STILL make me giggle

I am so glad I came across your videos! You had me genuinely laughing! You sir, have another subscriber that will be watching your videos CONSTANTLY! :D (Bastion and Torbjorn are my life LOL)
They just needed a genji to go in the middle and use his reflect. And have a widow or a hanzo to snipe them out. Then have 1 support, a tracer and reaper to go in and cause chaos in the backlane.
Yeah bastion can be like the weakest guy to play if you just play smart and go genji me and 2 other friends have this problem the 3 of us went genji and won it wasn't that hard after that.
+Rafael Chung I think bastion is hated so much isn't because he can be countered if you have more than a couple brain cells, but because he's so easy to use. Like any class based game, there is going to be that one character people use when they can't get kills, and bastion is that character. (i hate to compare overwatch to tf2 and all, but think of it like the rageheavy of overwatch, he's countered by snipers, spies, and any decent soldier, but he does way more damage)
+Rum0rPlaysit I will be honest with you, I did use bastion a lot in the open beta haha. He does way too much dmg and his attack is super fast plus he got 350 hp with self heal, and will need 3 hits from Hanzo or like 2-3 hits from widow to take him down. I think he got nerfed already from close beta (not sure). Im not sure how to nerf him without destroying his core gameplay. But there is plenty of ways to kill him. The pig can grab you, the tank can charge you, genji can reflect your attack, widow and hanzo can kill you. Reaper and tracis can kill you from behind. Bastion Special is really stupidly overpowered but that same can be said for almost every special.
christopher crafte Yeah I saw it in some old gameplays. Not sure if that was him or someone else ability that was removed. Good idea they removed it lol.
You know a character is broken when a robot turret is a much better sniper then Widowmaker is. How the hell has Bastion not gotten the nerf hammer yet?
He used to have his personal Reinhardt shield in the closed beta, so he definitly has been nerfed. If you have trouble I suggest you play Widowmaker, Genji, Symmeta, Hanzo or Roadhog against him.
+Salmon3669 There WAS a Reinhart that tries to get through the main gate and get melted. And Genji will work well on single Bastion but for the whole enemy team using it I think Reaper would do more than a Genji usually would.
4:03 what I really find annoying with Bastion. Can't flank him or outspeed him. Of course there are counters but even so, 4 Bastion with a babysitter generally takes enough time to take out (swap characters, find the good angles, dispatch the ennemy team quickly so they don't have time to come back in position) for the defense to win :/
+Biouke Just be smart about it. Use Widowmakers ult to figure out where the bastions are nesting and then you already have the advantage. You can definitely flank with Dva. Her boosters combined with her defense matrix make it so you're protected as you approach bastion and she wins every time at point blank against him.
+Andrew Nguyen I must admit that I only had the chance to play the game during that last phase of open beta. So me and my friends were new to the game, took us a whole bunch of games just to find out who counters what by experimenting. Maybe Blizzard could add tips in the character screen, like "strong against X, weak to Y" since you can't really test that in the shooting range. It wasn't really irritating being stomped by players who obviously played closed beta and knew the maps and characters well if they played a balanced team. They just outplayed us, that's fair we're noobs. Still the 3 Bastion + Lucio + Widowmaker defense when the ennemy team knows all the spots in the maps is just a dick move leading to pubstomp. I've had games where every angle from which you could aim at a Bastion was covered. Not impossible to counter but quite hard and frustrating. I can't see how Blizzard could pretend having this game balanced for eSports if they allow multiple instances of a same character per team in competitive modes. And the "play of the game" spotlight going to Bastion 80% of times clearly indicates that there's something wrong here. With the bonus armor and damage with no aim or rate of fire penalty, this character's very design rewards you for camping. This should have been seen as flawed right away in UX and QA testing.
+Biouke I mean, from a developper's pov, Bastion's weakness is that he can't move in turret mode. So his natural counters should be quick characters that can circle him effectively by being hard to get or see. But that's not the case, you need quick AND bulky char (D.va) or straight up anti burst char (Genji) or a dead angle big damage char (Junkrat). You'd need WM's ult just to plan your approach while Bastion's own ult guarantees quasi full wipe on a grouped up enemy team.
Biouke yikes I can see where your frustration comes from. It maybe seems like teams like those are all friends and coordinate attacks together effectively. I'd recommend you do the same. It's more fun playing with your friends and you often have a higher win rate. I honestly don't think bastion is OP. Give it some time and more strategies for beating bastion will arise!
Andrew Nguyen Well during that open beta I played mostly with one to three friends and we were communicating in vocal. I must admit that when we were playing in a group of four that was, like, the very first day and we tried sticking to a balanced formation (tank/heal/damage/support) rather than immediately switching heroes to find counters. Still, the second and third day we were 3, getting used to the games and having tried most characters, plus myself being a huge TF2 player and the other 2 long time CS players, I had the feeling that on some maps there were bottlenecks preventing you to do much against some team compositions. So we decided to wait and see how things evolve before placing 40 bucks on Overwatch, but since we're also long time aficionados of Blizzard's games (we still play TFT sometimes, and HotS, and return to WoW for a few month when a new add on comes out, etc.) it won't belong until we give it another shot and git gud ;) To end with Bastion's case it's just that I would have done the character a bit differently. But hey, I'm a game dev student and the folks at Blizzard are veterans of the industry so I have to trust them to do things right :p
June 6th, 2016 (72nd anniversary of Invasion of Normandy) this is one of the recommended video on my YT while watching D-DAY. So relevant, Bastion like a German with MG42 in a bunker in Omaha.
+Loner why all the hate for bastion?!! x) He is lots of fun to play and tho he can demolish enemies fairly quick, he can be countered really easy if you know what to do. If you don't have a Reinhardt or Mercy helping him out, he is gonna suffer a lot against players that know how to play against a bastion. Pharah, Widowmaker, Junkrat, Lucio, Genji, Tracer and Reaper, can totally destroy a Bastion if they know how to approach each situation.
+Loner use hanzo, widowmaker, genji to counter bastion. if you play roadhog you can hook him out of sentry mode. the reason bastion does so well alone is he has a relatively low skill ceiling meaning even somewhat new players can still do well with him.
+Loner everyone says he's op is because everyone who's still new to playing don't know how to properly counter. swapping heroes to properly counter the enemy team is one of overwatch's main game mechanics, so you can't ignore that and just say 'bastions op because I can't kill him as my main'
+00AssassinOfkings000 Except there are numerous ways to counter him with nearly every single hero. Genji can kill him by simply reflecting his own bullets, Roadhog can chain him out of his sentry form, Widowmaker and Hanzo can easily snipe him from a distance (Hanzo especially can take him easily with his ricochet arrows) Tracer can zip around him to avoid his fire, A half-decent Reinhardt can pin him or just shield until close enough to use melee, McCree can stun him, Mei can freeze him and snipe from a distance, Junkrat can use ricochet bombs and his mine. The list goes on and on.
+Ristyan yesf snipe with pharah Reaper Or even tracer can sweep bastions Srsly I play bastion and all ways end up getting rekt unless the other team is scattered Moral of the story Bastion is easily countered
"ive never tried bastion"
and so it all began...
And so it begins
+Sans shouldn't you be using puns?
Well you got me there
To be continued...
"never tried bastion"
this is where it began.

Yup, this is the beginning.

I didn't realise Overwatch was a tower defense game.

+hotpocketpoison Genji's Reflect, Pharah's Concussion Blast, Hanzo/ Widowmaker, Reinhardt shield (can protect your team for a good five seconds, enough to get some shots off), Junkrat can corner shot or concussion mine, Roadhog's hook, Charged Zenyatta blast, If a reaper comes up from behind like he should the bastion will die quickly, tracer can blink rapidly and recall if need be, McRee's stun (Pretty risky with how close you need to be though) D.Va's defense matrix can allow teammates to get shots off.

Pretty much everything that you said is wrong.

+Matt Maillet well, the bastion unit was the frontline of the Omnic's side during the Omnic Crisis, so yes... it might've
Greywall Gaming ik thats why i said it
HEY.
too soon man, to soon :/
HEY.
too soon man, to soon :/
I waited the entire video for ONE guy to switch Genji and kill your entire team. Watching them not do that was just as satisfying.
+josh woodferd honest to god though no one fucking switches to counter dumb shit like this. Then they bitch about it instead. Bastion is the little mac of overwatch
It's hilariously sad.
+Octosquidy yoooooooo it's so true, if people would stop bitching and, I hate to use this but I feel it's necessary, "git gud" there wouldn't be any so much hate

It is here, where we witness a monster born...hear his cry! DO DO DO DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The Bradstion is released.

So more Overwatch videos?

+Zylbrad Yeees pls :D
+Zylbrad How did i know you were Aussie?

It's weird seeing pre-Bradstion Brad.
Hearing Brad say "Never tried Bastion" is surprising. This is the origin story of Beta Bradstion

i love bastion not because i think he's op , in which i dont, but because i think his animations are charming, creative play style, and his back story.
Carson Lindsey same
My thoughts on bastion have changed as i think he was op at launch, and also the fact that i loved the last bastion.
The irony of this is Bastion is the only character who actually follows the definition of overwatch
Bastion of the game boys
I fucking hate it when I hear a steam or Skype message in a video, making me think I have friends that actually wanna talk to me n shit
That went from angry to depression really quick
Friends are for pussies
+TheMrPlayers3 Sometimes they might offer you some ;)
+TheMrPlayers3 What if he says yes? What then?
Star Moral
Then i would say good for you.
I'm pretty sure about 95% of my deaths have been to a bastion thats just like this.
+Liam Miller Switch to Genji or something, or pharah.

Can you just release that csgo outro as its own video? Its just so satisfying to watch

"I didn't take this chain off Brad until he was 6"
enemies should of played genji and reflected all that shit
finally found this channel after 5 years of not being able to remember brads name and these videos literally got me through a lot of my early teens and they STILL make me giggle
Yeah I'm subbing. I'm supposed to be studying and I just laughed out loud XD
When that steam message came up, I was trying to find the person who messaged me until I realized it was just the video.

Biouke yikes I can see where your frustration comes from. It maybe seems like teams like those are all friends and coordinate attacks together effectively. I'd recommend you do the same. It's more fun playing with your friends and you often have a higher win rate. I honestly don't think bastion is OP. Give it some time and more strategies for beating bastion will arise!

Well during that open beta I played mostly with one to three friends and we were communicating in vocal. I must admit that when we were playing in a group of four that was, like, the very first day and we tried sticking to a balanced formation (tank/heal/damage/support) rather than immediately switching heroes to find counters. Still, the second and third day we were 3, getting used to the games and having tried most characters, plus myself being a huge TF2 player and the other 2 long time CS players, I had the feeling that on some maps there were bottlenecks preventing you to do much against some team compositions. So we decided to wait and see how things evolve before placing 40 bucks on Overwatch, but since we're also long time aficionados of Blizzard's games (we still play TFT sometimes, and HotS, and return to WoW for a few month when a new add on comes out, etc.) it won't belong until we give it another shot and git gud ;)
To end with Bastion's case it's just that I would have done the character a bit differently. But hey, I'm a game dev student and the folks at Blizzard are veterans of the industry so I have to trust them to do things right :p
"huh, I never tried bastion"
*ooooohhhhh Brad, if only you knew x *
Bradstion Origins
I love how brads like I never tried this character ( 5 months later) Brad : bastion takes skill
This and dwarf fortress on the same team, absoluuuuute rape.
people are all about the beginning of bradstion but this video also starts the reckoning of philip being roadhog
Nooo the outro song got copyright claimed
Best Overwatch funny video I've seen! I hope you get loads of subs for this :)
Beep-boop _BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT_
June 6th, 2016 (72nd anniversary of Invasion of Normandy) this is one of the recommended video on my YT while watching D-DAY. So relevant, Bastion like a German with MG42 in a bunker in Omaha.
Make more videos, you are literally my favorite youtuber, keep making this amazing content and never change.
this was just the beginning brad... you will rule the aids as robot and cancer
bastion is the tumor on the back of overwatch
+Loner why all the hate for bastion?!! x) He is lots of fun to play and tho he can demolish enemies fairly quick, he can be countered really easy if you know what to do. If you don't have a Reinhardt or Mercy helping him out, he is gonna suffer a lot against players that know how to play against a bastion. Pharah, Widowmaker, Junkrat, Lucio, Genji, Tracer and Reaper, can totally destroy a Bastion if they know how to approach each situation.
+FenrirLupo he is OP and he doesn't need any support to demolish a whole team
+Loner use hanzo, widowmaker, genji to counter bastion. if you play roadhog you can hook him out of sentry mode. the reason bastion does so well alone is he has a relatively low skill ceiling meaning even somewhat new players can still do well with him.
+Loner everyone says he's op is because everyone who's still new to playing don't know how to properly counter. swapping heroes to properly counter the enemy team is one of overwatch's main game mechanics, so you can't ignore that and just say 'bastions op because I can't kill him as my main'
+Ben Moosmiller exactly
You deserve so many more subscribers, dude. I was crying laughing!
Take my sub I'm fucking dying. Hidden gem.
Love your videos man! Continue making them
BTW best counter to a bastion is Ganji shoving shit back in all their faces :P
Genji* and I cant agree anymore than I do now :)
Bastion is the most fair and balanced character.
You can tell the noobs cause they think Bastian is over powered
he is overpowered. His sentry doesnt overheat and he can constantly repair himself
it's funny right?
+00AssassinOfkings000 Except there are numerous ways to counter him with nearly every single hero. Genji can kill him by simply reflecting his own bullets, Roadhog can chain him out of his sentry form, Widowmaker and Hanzo can easily snipe him from a distance (Hanzo especially can take him easily with his ricochet arrows) Tracer can zip around him to avoid his fire, A half-decent Reinhardt can pin him or just shield until close enough to use melee, McCree can stun him, Mei can freeze him and snipe from a distance, Junkrat can use ricochet bombs and his mine. The list goes on and on.
I'm saying it's funny how people think he's op
Grant Hill Which is why I replied to the comment that said he was op and not yours?
And here comes the Bradstion montage...His life begins here
People that can't deal with Bastion are gahbage
you have a solution maybe ?
Ristyan yesf get gud
devil nin hah Calm down my child. It's jokes
Just go Genji srly. That's all it takes what with the salt?
+Ristyan yesf snipe with pharah
Reaper
Or even tracer can sweep bastions
Srsly I play bastion and all ways end up getting rekt unless the other team is scattered
Moral of the story
Bastion is easily countered
instant sub this was funniest video I have seen in a while thx
papa
"I've never tried Bastion before" Oh, how dear Bradstion has grown..

+Tempest Turtle genii and dva
"I like this character," Zylbrads last words before becoming Bradstion.
