I already know you hate Brigitte, we’ve been through this before.
I just recommend you spend a couple hours playing Brig in Quick Play so you understand her playstyle better.

Yah and limit dds to 2 per team.
But what if Inspire procc’d like it does now and raising shield was just a secondary proc condition? You wouldn’t have to keep it up long at all anyway, since Inspire is a heal over time that sticks on your teammates and isn’t actually restricted by the itself shutting down.

I hate GOATs and think Brig should be balanced to be good in 2Healer comps.
I think that this is unecesary when we can upgrade her healing into her E, making it more active and less passive
Then make her Inspire heal Less on teammates
I love the idea of her shield health doubling as a sort of healing resource, but I don’t think it would be all that engaging in-game.
“Good” Brigs would be kind of forced to stay in the backline and hold down shield, like a Mercy that doesn’t have to reposition, and doesn’t have to choose between healing and damage boost. That’s the polar opposite of her “frontline support” design.
I’d rather they reduced Inspire’s healing, reduced Repair pack’s healing, and reduced Repair pack’s cooldown. Maybe make it provide stronger healing in closer ranges.
Wouldn’t that effectively make it so her Peeling/Tanking worse, instead of making her DPSing worse?
Well, they could just make it so Inspire only self-heals.
Or as Mage suggested, self heals as it does now, with a minimal aura heal.
But then you’re still left with a self-heal that requires you be within melee range of the enemy. Which is really difficult without speedboost.
Not entirely, My full suggestion is this:
Her peeling comes from her Shield Bash and Her Whipshot, And as well from her repair pack, not inspire
Having two repair packs which equate to more overall healing and more often, technically it also strenghtens her ability to peel, Because she can cycle through them to repetedly keep a target beeing attacked healed as she arrives to promptly help them, further extending the time they remain alive
As well, This helps her healing is more spread arround to make her a better healer for Squishies and less for tanks,
Her inspire beeing nerfed is to compensate a bit for the extra healing from her E, essentially “Moving” her healing from one side to the other, Because brigs healing while keeping inspire up isnt actually that bad,
And it just makes brig require to be more aware to heal her targets because her healing is no logner automatic
Also, i never mentioned making her DPSing needing to be worse
So I just thought of something.
Don’t make any changes to Brig, but give her 5hps aura heals when her shield is up.
That doesn’t stack with her Inspire.
Literally a straight buff.
But just enough heals do that she can top-off her health when out of combat.
i mean…Sure…? i guess?
I have a better idea, though
Why not give her a F ability called “Hope” In which, She manually activates inspire without the need to attack for 6 seconds, but its on a large cooldown, like, 15-20ish ?
Sure, but how about putting it on her R button instead?
yeah, i forgot R is free lol
Maybe just have her hold her mace up like her ultimate, and she’s effectively a Soldier heal station.
She can hold it for as long as she wants, but she can’t move, and when she cancels it, it goes on cooldown.
Forcing people to be stationary doesnt really work in Overwatch Imo, It would be useless in high ranks,
Bastion is struggling because of that (and the devs really keep skipping over his issues too)
i think its just better to, Press R, activate inspire, and abiltiy goes on cooldown, end of story
Something simple that requires very little coding,
think of buffing characters after 2 2 2, otherwise you are enabling abilities stack even more
Maybe then make it so she can move, but obviously can’t shield or melee when holding her mace up?
I dont know why you want to make it so complicated dude,
You do have a point there.
Especially since Brig probably wouldn’t need tradeoffs.
Exactly, Shes not really problematic outside of goats,
She just needs, some sort of new healing tool that she can use and problem solved
im still prefer my idea of the extra healing beeing moved to E because, you know, Low ranks and stuf, skill based and all of that jazz
