I have exclusively played open queue for over a year because I am a filthy Bastion main and like playing him against the uncoordinated comps in open.

But recently I’ve met a new group who likes to play role queue. And I haven’t played role queue since my old group disbanded.

I may try going back to role queue to play with them, but I would wanna be able to swap heroes when the time is needed.

I am pretty good at a number of other DPS and still play them in FFA to keep my skill sharp. Issue is… I’ve been solving every problem with Bastion for so long that I can tell when I should swap.

I’ve been working with a hammer so long, I see a screw and you hand me a screwdriver, I still look over at my hammer and say “this still seems like the best option.”

So can you guys tell me what instances; our team comp, enemy team comp, map type, specific single heroes on either side, etc; I should switch to any of these other DPS that I play, and I’ll notice it works better than me still pounding away with Bastion?

Ashe, Cass, Echo, Reaper, Solider, Sombra, Sym, Torb, Tracer.

I’m a diamond Bastion main. With any of these other heroes I play, I’m probably currently at a gold but will rise up to a plat with a bit of practice, maybe higher. So I’d need to know when switching to a plat Soldier or whatever would be better than staying as a diamond Bastion.
