★ PSA: All the brig changes just went live

General Discussion

Brigitte

Repair Pack

  • No longer grants an additional armor health pool

Barrier Shield

  • Maximum health increased from 200 to 250
  • Regeneration rate decreased from 100 to 85 health per second
  • Cooldown when destroyed increased from 3 to 5 seconds

Developer Comment: Granting additional maximum health is a powerful ability and has proven too effective when combined with the additional healing of Repair Pack. Brigitte’s barrier will now provide more protection up front, enabling her to withstand more directed fire, but will also have a longer downtime if it is destroyed.

Wrong changes. She needs another rework IMO,

She’s not terrible, she’s just so bland now. Press E to heal a little, also, go smash that enemy with a mace to the face to automatically heal around you. Oops, Hog clicked you once and now you are without shield or mobility for 5 seconds…

Boring.

It’s not the end of the world, I don’t think brig is suddenly going to be a throw pick but I’m not a fan of the shield tweaks especially they felt too much like nerfs for what should’ve been a compensation buff . Doesn’t change my opinion on it being the wrong way to fix

They could have changed packs to:

  1. Either convert normal health into armor,
  2. Or just a delayed healing effect that triggers when damage is received / was already received.

But they just chose the easiest way, that is to remove it.

That’s just how you make an ability more bland and uninteresting.

Another nerf that will only have impact on higher ranks, i think it’s bit harsh but meh. and… a buff that’s quite pointless all things considered. meh x2.

btw… I still get hate by the enemy team if i play brig. boo.

These changes are too much and I say that as someone who wanted Brig nerfed. I think a lot of people just want free wins against supports.
