Overwatch 2 Bastion and Torbjörn were temporarily removed from the game due to major bugs. According to Blizzard, Bastion and Torbjörn will “take a short trip to the workshop.” Bastion has been removed from all game modes, and Torbjörn has been removed from non-Quick Play modes. They underwent maintenance because a bug in Bastion’s ultimate feature “allowed it to launch an abnormal number of missile attacks in a short period of time”, while Torbjörn underwent maintenance because the duration of the Overload capability could be doubled.
