In TF2, every class has classes they do well against with certain loadouts.
In MOBA's, certain characters are shut down 100% by other characters.
In Overwatch, lets look at Lucio. Lucio is annoying, and provides healing to people for people in range.
Lucio is strong against Pharah and Junkrat, as well as low damage heros.
Lucio is countered by Mei, 76, Symmetra, and anyone who can shut down his movement.
Likewise with Bastion, bastion is strong against people who want to be aggressive. When he is in turret form you literally just have to not go that way. THis makes characters like Junkrat and Tracer strong because they can get around him and take him out from cover or from places he wouldnt expect.
Shields beat him because they let your damage dealers deal damage to him from safety.
The problem is that noobs know no sense of teamwork. Bastion wasnt OP in the closed beta and he isn't now.
Its like WM1 pyros. Painful, effective versus idiots, ineffective versus smart players who realize that the best way to win is not to fight.
Similar to the Sentry in TF2, Bastions job is area denial. If no one goes down that major alley for fear of being ripped to shreds, then bastion is doing his job. Unfortunately, idiots run into said alley way every time.
