A brig giving a repair pack to a ally is huge. She doesn’t have to do damage to be good, there are many other ways she can help. Also mercy got what she deserved.
You do realize she gets the eight nerf now, and the combination of them all is what makes her worthless as a second support? I bet you won’t play Brigitte anyway so it does not really concern you, there are people who don’t want to play a hero which is unviable even in her limited range play. I am not even talking about damage, let it be gone, but at least make her a viable healer which she is not, not with the lowest heals in game and an inconsistent working utility.
RP is on a CD and has a travel time, do you know how often the targets are killed before it even reaches them? Its really not that great you make it out to be, and her healing is still the worst in game, but you said yourself you don’t play her much, so why would you care either.
I suppose it gonna be see what happens when it’s live I am expecting Brig to be dead 90% of the time and exaggeration aside I don’t see how she’s gonna be much of a factor without contributing to the teamfight outside of healing
I know I’m gonna kill her a lot from a distance and if she shows up I know she can’t kill me I can just leave
It’s travel time is short, especially if you are near the ally that needs it. If you have good reaction and game sense then you can save the heroes that need it. I don’t play her much because I haven’t played much overwatch that much, i’m not even ranked this season.
Play tracer alot, Dominant a game as tracer and wait until the enemy switches to Brig and you start getting dumpstered now think about what changed when you went from owning to doing nothing
Spoiler alert: It is the armor that cut your dps by half and stopped you from getting picks
How do you get from
“Many of the brig nerfs were meant to be small so as to not instantly make her worthless.”
to brig is worthless? It’s literally stated there, the nerfs are small so she isn’t instantly worthless. You’d have to be drawing some super weird conclusions from that to even get to me saying brig is worthless.
Of course you don’t, why playing a character you want to be worthless.
Brigitte nerfs:
Ult economy nerf -30%
Less armor on Rally
Shield bash CD nerfed twice
Damage of the bash nerfed twice now
Utility nerfed (not working if any part of the hero even touches a part of shield)
Removal of damage on combo
Shield HP nerfed
Sstill not enough for ya, now after she was made into a troll pick.
Even Tracer mains say they can deal with Brigitte, Brigitte armor is diminishing Tracer effectiveness and its fine, try to deal with Pharah on Brigitte you simply can’t, how is that about a hard counter, not counting even any range which is a natural counter to Brigitte due to her shortest range.
