Brig rant, I h8 this hero

and imagine if a similar mechanic was given to the barrierless tanks. you encourage single barrier WHILE ALSO providing the solution in the tanks themselves.

it legit is all up to numbers. with the restriction of boosted damage limited to barriers only, there’s even more flexibility for numbers to apply.

+50% on dva’s primary already beings it to like 210~220 dps already.

Really whatever “rage mechanic” you’re talking about isn’t going to surpass 211DPS continuously without reloads, and a raw barrierhp advantage.

You’d have to give it something like an additional 350DPS from just the bonus.

That’s burst, not sustained, and not with any meaningful range. If D.va is standing almost pointblank with a DoubleBarrier, they might as well walk past the barrier.

What you’re looking at is something like a 100% firepower bonus for offtanks against Barriers.

When it took much less than that to make it so we were in a zerobarrier meta with Superhog.

AND that would still prevent buffing Orisa and Sigma barriers up to Rein tier. Because otherwise you’re looking at that bonus needing to be near 200%.

Where as stacking doubleofftank would be ridiculous antibarrier firepower.

it was 1 example (amongst other barrierless tanks) of the effect that such a mechanic would provide in terms of shieldbreak on top of that from the damage heroes that would be doing. and again, the numbers can be adjusted.

whether it’s burst or not depends on how long dva can stay in her effective range. and whether she can stay at a range to hit all her pellets on the large hitbox of barriers vs flying past it depends on the situation. and again, this isn’t just for dva either, it’s for all barrierless tanks.

that legit depends on the windup delay of the mechanic as can be seen by sym as a counter example. the mechanic doesn’t even need to be a boolean threshold either and can be more staged like sym’s primary or even more continuous in charge like zarya’s charge mechanic.

if there’s a large enough delay, it’s not very worth it for single barriers.

how would it prevent buffing orisa and sigma? and where’s your proof of needing 200% dps increase? heck we can even go more creative and not simply consider damage amplification as an effect of the meter but consider also % based damage to shields added on top of normal damage.

double offtank can legit be mitigated by the numbers provided plus the fact that douel off tank means making the team very susceptible to snipers, feeding ults, anti, etc.

legit there’s plenty of avenues to take, and “delete brig” isn’t the sole answer. esp when the latter solution can very easily be undone with a new hero addition.
