Say goodbye to Overwatch hero Bastion and say hello to next season's Cooler Bastion who will be 10% smaller because he was such a bullet magnet

A side-by-side screenshot of Overwatch hero Bastion. On the left is his current size as of season 16 and on the right is his size in season 17, which is 10% smaller.

In order to save Overwatch's friendly neighborhood robot Bastion from getting demolished every time he steps out of cover, hero designer Scott Kennedy made an unusual suggestion: shrink him. Smaller targets are harder to hit and that could be all it takes to keep him alive a little longer.

After some internal testing, the decision was made: Bastion will be 10% smaller in Overwatch's next season.
