Has nothing to do with shield bash. Shield bash is only one of dozens of Tracer instakill combos already in the game. Brig counters Tracer with her armor, which reduces the damage output of Tracer’s guns by 50%.
Armor does not have this effect on Widow, McCree, Junk, Hanzo, Ashe, etc., because their damage per shot is above the threshold below which shots are reduced by 50%. Instead, these other characters lose only 5 damage per shot, which is negligible. Even Soldier is affected to a much lesser degree, as his significantly more forgiving spread and dropoff allow him to shoot from a distance, stripping off enemy armor with little risk. Armor destroys Tracer’s value.
When Seagull said that Brig counters Tracer “just by existing,” this may be what he meant.
Nah dawg, she’s completely unplayable now Kappa her soul purpose is to just stand in spawn. These CoD kids don’t care about CC they WANT DAMAGE MonKas. This isn’t Overwatch anymore, this is straight up OverwatchDaycare.
Brig had pretty low damage already. 45 less is a lot .
If you think Brigitte being able to instantly combo 155-190 damage onto any 200hp hero is a low amount of damage, I honestly don’t know what to tell you.
Not to mention this damage does not come without her general ease of use and absurd utility.
It was important they lowered it and perhaps even better if they added a 0.3 second wind-up time to it rather than leaving it with a ‘is she going to do it or not’.
In all honesty it probably needs to be pretty close to melee damage, because she doesn’t have sufficient follow-through for it when she does get it off. Most other CC abilities do.
