10 Overpowered Characters That DESTROYED Players Online

10. Bastion - Overwatch

Any high ELO Overwatch player will roll their eyes at Bastion's presence here but he needed to make the cut.

The OG robot from Blizzard's team shooter has traditionally been a solid pick throughout the game's lifecycle. Even though he's not the powerhouse he once was due to power creep, the simple nature of his kit and game plan in every level of play has proven to be both a boon and a detriment over the years. Namely, during the launch months of vanilla Overwatch, Bastion was everywhere thanks to his ability to prey on newbies. Game knowledge is king in hero shooters. If one has yet to learn how to counter a specific character, they will inevitably be dubbed overpowered.

What set him apart from, say, Symmetra, Reinhardt, Hanzo, or any other member of the launch headcount, was his ease of use.

Everyone could play Bastion well; countering was a different story. Mowing down enemies who foolishly thought they could soldier through the hail fire of his alt-turret mode and live to tell the tale was fated to die. Even now, if he has a coordinated team (big if) willing to play to his strengths, the automaton's ability to dominate through zone control is unmatched.
