Well she kinda did single handedly kill the game with goats and force the worst season of OWL, but what do I know. She needs to not be able to stack healing, same with bap.

I prefer RP -with armor- to Inspire AOE healing any day of the week.

Not sure I would call them āGood intentions.ā
Not sure they were meant to make her fun. It is very possible it was intended to reduce her viability to keep her play down.
Donāt really agree with this. The vast majority of players play the hero that gets them the most success. People may not be able to have the hero range of the pros, but they still gravitate towards the most effective heroes. We see the effect directly with play % whenever there is a buff or nerf.
And for most people winning is more fun that any specific hero.
Agree. And, I agree they are bad changes. But I donāt think they were ever meant to be good ones. It was just supposed to be some craziness for the tournament.
Are you talking about 3 years ago? Are some people still not over that? jeez
To date, and for the last year and half at least, sheās the least picked support (one of the least picked heroes period), does less damage than Lucio, has the lowest healing other than Zen, and has a high deaths per 10.
Sheās only āunbeatableā in high Masters/GM with a very coordinated team (and even then her pick rate is only average). In most other ranks, she struggles and is considered a borderline throw pick to many people. And Brig mains get toxicity all the time just for picking her.
And besides all that, Brig mains have been complaining how unfun it is to play her for a while with no one caring.
Guaranteed if Genji was changed to make him less fun and less able to feel like the cyborg ninja he is, the entire OW community would grind to a halt over it.
One of the reasons why this community is amongst my least favorite in gaming.

Brig is not bad at all though. I donāt get it. Brig mains say she sucks whilst everyone else says she is busted. Brig Is OVERPOWERED. She does way to much and gets such a high reward for lack of input. She should not be able to stack healing. No aoe healer other than Lucio should.
As someone who is above that elo, that is not true at all.
She is very strong against dive tho.
Just wait till rush or poke become meta again, sheāll be the worst support in the game.
Iām above that elo, Iām just saying thatās when the problem starts. The meta will not change without a patch. We donāt get patches unless its to buff cass. Just nerf her and change the meta. Nerf bap also.
This is contradictingā¦
āWe donāt get a patch, they only buff cassā
āJust nerf her and bapā
How about instead we buff underperforming rush heroes so she becomes bad again? During peak rush meta she was the worst support in the game.
Agree bap needs a nerf tho.
Rally needs a change so it doesnāt give armor but overall gives more HP and gives less ult charge.
But she has to actively do damage in order to heal while Lucio can just exist and get free valueā¦?

Even Samito admitted that if this change went through Inspire would have to self-heal Brig.

Yah but Lucio has a gun.
Like, I keep trying to tell people that, but nobody wants to listen.
The really disappointing thing about this EXP card was it was ājust for funsies!ā. Now if most people were given the keys to balancing and told to make the game fun/exciting/fresh even if it never made it to live? Theyād make something pretty spectacular and vibrant. Yetā¦this EXP cardā¦THIS EXP CARDā¦this is what they come up with? Thereās probably more imagination in a third-graderās creative writing assignment.
I canāt imagine being given this sort of power (yes even if it is explicitly just for fun and not the balance for the āmain gameā) and squandering with needless and petty nerfs for a lot of heroes. The last time the devs did a ājust for funā EXP card, there were some astoundingly inspired changes that people wanted live because it made the game more fun. This EXP card highlights that these people have no idea about balance nor fun, because their attempts at both sides of the aisle failed miserably.

Violetās changes were really terrible. Itās not just making Brig even more of an RP dispenser, although that was probably the worst. But the Mercy and Moira changes are just outright bad, and they buffed Ana and Bap, the already best supports in the game.
Iāve seen people mad at Flats for making a bunch of nerfs, but he also threw in goofy changes to test on those characters and try to make them more fun. Violetās changes just hard-enforced the existing meta and the dullest possible playstyles. What a waste.

I have to disagree. I think most people would do exactly what we see in this card. They would mega buff a couple or few heroes they like/want to play in the tournament, nerf ones they donāt and just phone in stuff on the rest of the heroes.
Yes.
I think it was mostly show. They have priority and just phone it in on the others. The attempt to camouflage the bias was really weak.
I like having more packs to selectively heal more targets at will
But yeah, having to be chained to your co-support and glue down your x key (I need healing) isnāt very fun

And she can stay like that? She still gets the selfheal (although its bugged currently)
The problem about inspire was that she got value for existing, healing as much as a lucio without LOS is not healthy for the game. Also her main point is not to heal, its to protect and deny dive, which she can still do.
Brig is a missleading hero, she shouldnt be used as a frontliner melee hero, but a backliner who always has her shield up so she can look for flankers more easily and protect her other support, Atleast thats how you want to play her if u want to climb
Ana is not the best support Brig is and bap is a close second. Brig needs this change to be balanced. She could get some small buffs if needed.

Please see my previous comment. The stats donāt agree with you.
Agree. The fact that Brig would be incredibly boring is perhaps the most important part, despite people here only talking about balance.
But yeah, awful changes all around really. The changes arenāt balanced, fun, nor an outrageous, ātotal mayhemā type of troll fun either. Its just bad.

But isnāt that part of the problem? She is misleading. The whole point of a melee hero is to go in and wellā¦melee. Nobody enjoys playing Rein and just standing there with your shield, staying back and just waiting for people to come into you before using your primary weapon.
