[quote]Last week was rather eventful for Overwatch. The 'Bastion Patch' went live, and a lot of people were quite loud in their disapproval. Facebook and Reddit pages were full of angry fans who were adamant that the changes to Bastion were too much[/quote]
What good is the PTR when you have results like this?

Balancing is trial and ERROR?

Yeah, and the point of the PTR is to make that trial and error in a closed environment [I]before[/I] releasing it proper.

Unfortunately one of the things Blizzard decided to copy from Valve's TF2 philosophy post-2013 was to try to "surprise" players of the live version with new stats and gimmicks and forgo the use of the PTR/Beta for this sake. Except for all the times TF2 pushed out a nonsensically good/bad stat change on a weapon, it was never as extreme as OW's changes which have driven characters anywhere from near-useless to busted-enough-to-see-near-100%-usage.
Also OW inexplicably imitates the fact that you can't access drops in your PTR/Beta from your main or vice versa, effectively behaving like two separate accounts, which was one of the biggest complaints of TF2's beta and is one of the main reasons people prefer to not play on the non-live version (although TF2 beta has since been killed off, so that's moot now for TF2).
Bastion was absurd for about 2-3 days. Now he's just a solid pick. Mercy still kind of sucks at higher ranks, invuln on res doesn't solve her issue of getting picked off at the start of a fight and her struggle to heal multiple targets.
