Let’s be honest here, she has been so famously smited by Blizzard and the player base since her crazy and wild release that now the game seemingly revolves around how fair things are based off of Brig’s life story.
Who could’ve seen this coming? She is probably one of the more popular DLC due to the sheer amount of situations that made her an outlier lol.
I haven’t seen something this wild and talked about since Bayo’s Smash release
Well bayo was last dlc
I mean like bayo, brig is either op or just sucks. There is no in between.
I don’t think Bayo has ever sucked really hard like Brig has
But I don’t think anyone in the smash community has asked for buffs to make her “”good”” like Brig has to this day
The issue is Brig is never balanaced. She’s always too strong or too weak
She needs a rework
Apparently what people want from Brig is that she keeps her W+M1 style to fulfill her Paladin Support fantasy, Blizz just have to balance it out to not be forgiving or that much hated, while she also supports her team with healing and/or utility that doesn’t make her too powerful than other supports.
I haven’t played smash that much so who was more op, meta knight from brawl or bayonetta?
Prepatch Bayo, you may not have been able to get in with Meta Knight, but at least you weren’t getting killed off a single hit with a true combo, or an incredibly hard to dodge combo
meta knight (e0 char
I’d say Meta Knight because his moveset was more accessible… Both of them looked ridiculous in a fight though lol
Pick Two
Peeler and durable
She should have no more than Lucio or Zen level of heals, and should only have one method of healing. Not two
Maybe make her a Tank with a tiny bit of Aura heals.
Right now she’s pretty balanced. She has a higher pickrate than Ana in GM and is the fourth most picked support, barely under Mercy, even with 200 HP.
Her kit is arguably still broken on a fundamental level but at least she’s not trash nor overbearingly OP at the moment
As an actual Brig main, I want her to actually be able to frontline and heal. Most fellow Brig one-tricks and mains say that the thing they enjoy most about her playstyle is being that paladin, front-line, healer. Like a healer version of Rein (which makes sense to her character).
Take away/replace her CC to make her a low damage, low heals but durable support and I’m game. But I refuse to play much 200HP Brig despite her being my favorite hero, until Blizzard fixes that.
Some people say, “wait until OW, they might rework/rebalance her for that release”. I’m not too optimistic considering this is Blizzard we are talking about.
TL;DR - I, and many Brig mains, want a frontline, low damage, lower heals, durable Brig. Sacrifice her CC if needed.
Brig main here. And not only is she not great stats wise, she doesn’t feel great to play either (both are equally important).
Please don’t just use GM, where she is used to work in a specific niche that 99% of the playerbase don’t use or see.
Across all ranks on PC, for this week, she has the lowest pickrate of the supports. Lucio pumps out more heals and damage than her.
And equally important, she doesn’t feel good to play. She feels like a frontline hero that can’t enter the frontlines without getting destroyed, her barrier is tissue paper, her bash is used mostly as a movement ability than a CC, her RPs feel hallow and empty, and feels like Lucio is just a better pick all around.
Yes, I know how to play her and be effective. But for many Brig mains, being a Whipshot/RP bot isn’t fun.
I mean I’m only going to use GM stats to talk about balance considering the Devs balance around OWL and GM and OWL isn’t happening rn…
Hence why I said her kit is fundamentally broken and she needs a rework ASAP
Yea I would just spam random attacks lol.
Yeah it’s literally this for me. Which is why i’ve advocated for a revert to just before her rework for 222. But somehow with lower heals or something.
Yeah you can play her now. But you lose so much of what made her…her. The playstyle/character she was sold as.
Healer and peeler.
I know why people want durability above all else, but Moira, Lucio, and Bap have that covered. Brig brings a heavy CC option to the support class; disregarding the fact that I literally started maining Brig for it, the game needs a heavy CC support and a vacancy there is dangerous.
