Best Character to make Brig Swap?

I love playing Tracer and basically any game I am doing well in

Here come an new Challeger!!!, Enter Brigette.

What are the best heroes to get Brigette to swap to something else so I can play Tracer again?

Pharah. If you dump on brig with pharah she should swap to ana or moira to combat you, may be lucio to evade. But nobody swaps so its a moot point.

Pharah or Doomfist are your best bets.

Pharah and Junkrat. Even a bad Junkrat makes my life difficult when I’m Brigitte.

Mei, Sombra, Pharah, Doomfist.

This is what I’ve used, or seen others use to own a Brig

take junk put a trap between you and her and you’re done.

Hmmm, Never Thought of Pharah. I will try to practice with her I am a bad Pharah.

I have been trying Hanzo a lot and spamming Storm Arrow at her but flying might be better

Mei, Pharah, Doomfist, Sombra, new Torb and Orisa are pretty annoying for her.

Any viable burst damage and long range heroes can do well against Brigitte. Also keep in mind that some Brigittes can play around with your counter picks if they’re good. If you wish to stay as Tracer, pulse bomb Brigitte whenever you have it. That’s only if you wish to stay as her.

Orisa comps are overall very hard to play against while using Brigitte. This only changes if you have a Lucio.

Just keep killing her idk a hero that cant counter her.

If you can’t play pharah, Widow or brig

Tracer works actually pretty good against Brig… if u just use ur blinks wisely…… (150+hours on tracer here)
but other then that junk, I love Mei against her… just freeze her… Dom if u can play him… Moira works also great,…Sombra, hack her…

Pharah, Snipers, long range can’t even be hit by Brigitte. If Brigitte can’t hit you she can’t heal very often.

Also Doomfist and characters with more burst damage are better than Tracer and Soldier because of how armor works.

Armor will divide the damage by half if it is less than 10, but more than 10 it only lowers it by 5. What this means is for each individual piece of damage done (bullet, pellets, it ticks of damage with a beam) the armor is taken into effect.

Machine guns and shotguns are bad against armor because it is a lot of bullets with tiny amounts of damage.

Take Tracer for instance, who deals 6 damage (12 with headshot) per bullet. So the armor with halve it to 3 (or lower it to 7) for every bullet that hits armor health.

Compared to Doomfist,

  • his Seismic Slam does 49-125 damage, so armor only lowers it to 44-121
  • his Rising Uppercut does 50 damage, so down to 45
  • his Rocket Punch deals 49-100 impact, 49-150 wall damage so those only get hit by 5 as well.

Big Burst damage in single instances are more powerful against armor and Brigitte than machine guns, beams, and shotguns are.

Hopefully this helps!

Yeah, I will usually try to stick with Tracer at first but usually the Armour drops my DPS too much and I can’t do enough to win the game anymore and we start to lose.

This is when I usually look for a counter pick to the Brig

Depends on the map, if there is a lot open space and enviromental danger then Pharah\DF\Orisa is the best choices.
If you know you will be forced to face her up close then Bring Junkrat\Mei\Bastion.

Hanzo by far the best.
Has an easy time of outranging her and breaking her barrier while also having mobility to maintain distance.

Just stay out of range of her shield bash and keep its CD under consideration. If brig has used shield bash you can 1 clip her without too much risk. Also pulse bomb is your friend. I have been making Brigs swap with tracer because I just stay out of her range. wait for her to blow shield bash on our tank and drop a pulse on her back.

You can’t make swap a competent brig. Smart brig players will take cover and serve as bodyguards of their tanks. Also their DPS will swap to Sombra to shut-down pharah totally

Why do you think Brig had a godly pickrate during this OW-CUP?
