Well that's some changes. I'm not sure if the Bastion change goes far enough, mainly because other charcters seem to be getting nerfed too.

Not too bad for Ana, which is a good call. Winston sounds even less useful with that slight change. Zen seems an interesting change. Not sure if the cool down will counter the accuracy that you'll need going forward.

Generally positive changes I would say and more buffs than nerfs which is a nice change.

The Bastion nerf has been live on PC for a while now and having watched some videos he is used a lot less now.  So fingers crossed this works for consoles too.  Bastion has his place but he was OP and annoying knowing you would always be facing him when attacking.  Though I think you have Winston the wrong way round as this is possibly quite a big buff for him.  Pre-patch his bubble cooldown only began when the placed bubble was destroyed now though it will begin from when it placed which means more Winston bubbles.  Zenyatta is an interesting change, I can't say I noticed much spread to his orbs but a reduction is always good.  I don't know if his projectiles have a drop off on them but seems to be making him more a mid to long range attacker now.  Also should make Zen a little better against Pharah too which another Pharah counter is always welcome.

Ah yes, sorry Greboth. I got the Winston change backwards. That's great that they are giving him enhancements!
