Developer Comments: Bastion's self-healing during transformation was doubly effective with how the Ironclad passive stacked with armor damage reduction, making him too capable of surviving ambushes and dives.
Reconfigure
- No longer restores armor when transforming

Developer Comment: The A-36 Tactical Grenade is now more reliable after having its projectile size increased recently, so it doesn't need to be quite as damaging. The change to Configuration Artillery is a bug fix from what was intended for the ultimate, and we’ll monitor to see how this impacts Bastion’s performance.
A-36 Tactical Grenade
- Impact damage decreased from 30 to 15.
Configuration: Artillery
- Can no longer deal critical hits.
8/10/2023

- Maximum explosion damage falloff reduced from 70% to 50%.
- Detonation time reduced from 0.5 to 0.35 seconds.
- Recoil adjusted to recover more quickly.
- Projectile size increased from 0.2 to 0.25.

Developer comments: The intent for Bastion's ultimate is that enemy players can survive it if they are quick to react to the damaging impact areas, however, it ended up being too easy to avoid the damage areas entirely. We’re reducing both the amount of warning time and explosion damage so that it’s more reliable in dealing damage, but it won't be as lethal the closer the target gets to the edge of the explosion range.
Configuration Artillery
- Delay before projectile drops reduced from 1 to 0.6 seconds
- Explosion damage reduced from 300 to 250
- No longer deals explosion damage to self
- Minimum delay between placing shots reduced by 20%
Reconfigure
- Cooldown reduced from 12 to 10 seconds
