Brig Shield Bash needs CC in OW2

It really needs a disrupt similar to sombra hack

A shield bash stun or disrupt is as iconic as shields are themselves.

It sucks seeing a channeling ult in front of you and you have no choice but to just watch you team die as you shield bash away with tears in your eyes.

Or that genji that’s hopped up on Red Bull continues to flank you Ana over and over and a disrupt would stop it

Seriously, give Shield Bash CC

It does have CC. It still has the knockdown vs Charge and Punch. So you can still save your team from those two particularly popular tanks.

It would be nice if it made them more susceptible to damage for x amount of seconds. Like she can allow people to crit someone down.

So… Sombra’s new hack then?

Hack is only for somra, As a support it would be for everyone. So she bashes someone that tries to attack her or a team mate, calls out. I bashed x. Kill quickly. Could be like 3 seconds of a 20% debuff. Enough for even her to get a bit of damage and kill a flanking target or help push a frontline with a tank.

how about making the person that got bashed less accurate for a while. I dont think anything affects accuracy in this game yet.

There is, they buffed rein’s hammer to like shake your screen. It’s a bit disorienting.

You ever play any looter shooters, like Borderlands? Imagine you’re shooting at something, you’re very clearly hitting it, but it’s registering as a MISS. It’s the most frustrating thing in the world.

I’m pretty sure Brigs shield bash still interrupts in the beta

I mean more like a increase to your cone of fire. or increased recoil.

How about we don’t give her more cc :smiley:

Why not? Brig’s favorite food is Carrot Cake, I decided. Why can’t she have more Carrot Cake? It’s nutritious!

Except it wouldnt say “miss” you would just have an increased cone of fire or more recoil.

I’d still be super careful. The devs said awhile ago that “Directly affecting someone’s damage with a debuff” felt horrible. Now imagine that your actual skill is being nerfed, because that’s what it ultimately amounts to.

I just think it’s too dangerous of an ability.

It would basically just force people to space their shots more for a short while. Nothing game breaking.

Since they have Role-Specific Effects for abilities, they should allow her to CC DPS and Supports. The CC would only last 0.2 sec, just enough to totally stop movement momentum and end cast times/channeling. However, they can quickly recover to speed away OR still use their guns after that short time is up.

Against Tanks she only deals damage. She still has the knock-down interaction vs Charges/Punches.

Lastly, the Shield Bash->Whip Shot combo would cut off ANY end lag of the Shield Bash the moment it hits something it can stun so they can’t Ability their way out of the combo. But Shield Bash->Anything Else would still have end lag for Shield Bash. This is for peeling reasons. AKA: 33% of Brigette’s expected job.

So like Soldier’s old bloom?

I think this would make brig very oppressive against tanks, there are already a lot of dmg boost in the game, mercy zen and now Sombra (which is very strong by the way)
I prefer it to reduce target damage, or just silence targets
