Brig, Tracer, and their counters

Brig is OP you say?

Brig counters:
-Orisa
-Zarya
-Hammond
-Doomfist
-Junkrat
-Hanzo
-Mei
-Sym
-Bastion
-Mccree
-Pharah
-Sombra
-Widow
-Moira
-Ana

Tracer counters:
-Brig

If you still think Brig is OP, then Tracer is too. You can’t deny she has less counter play than easy mode Brig. Either they both are OP, or neither are. Well, or Tracer is OP, but I doubt you’d pick that one, so pick one of the other two.

I can wait.

While I agree that Brigitte is not that op as everyone is screaming out here, I strongly disagree on some heroes you mentioned.

Hammond for example is heavily reliant on his fast movement, everything that stops him reliably and keeps him from gaining momentum is considered a counter to him. Brigitte does just that.

While Mei can freeze and disengage an encounter with Brigitte pretty easy, Brigitte can just hold up her shield or boop Mei away in order to escape the freeze.

Ana might be able to stop Brigitte from healing or applying armor, she can’t possibly fight Brigitte once Brigitte comes close though. It’s also super easy to block Anas sleepdart because of how slow its animation is.

Some heros you mentioned like Symmetra and Bastion for example are really hard to really justify a pick because of how unpopular and (considered) bad they are. They might be good counters but you might tilt your team more than helping them by picking those heroes. Same applies to some degree for Sombra.

Pc and console needs separate balancing and forums. Because I’m seeing players asking for Tracer nerf are mostly playing on console. Yeah I do believe she needs a nerf on console because console players can’t reliably aim and has slower reflex and reaction than pc do. But mobility is very strong on console because of the reasoning so I’m advocating for separate balancing on pc and console.

You’re dealing with a very naive perspective if you think the only metric to measure how powerful a hero is is the number of counters they have.

  • any one with skill.

i have plenty of clips where i just take a poop on her when she dives me as widow or Mccree.

all the tracer nerfs are wanted cuz you simply wont put effort in to deal with her properly.

You can kill the tracer with any hero if you outplay her.

That isn’t true about brigitte.

Funny, I remember times where this was the other way around.

And i remember gale kept putting tracer (dafran) to sleep with ana.

Dude top 1 zen destroyed dafran and xQc in the same match.

Edit:

I’m too busy solo tanking/healing (Brig is an off healer), and the DPS on my team still can’t kill Tracer even under focus fire.

Brig, on the other hand, poses little threat to me. A nuisance, sure, but in the same way Mei or Bastion is a nuisance. My only complaint is solo rally to 1v1 me when I’m Rein. Doesn’t happen that much but it’s noticeable.

Even then, I’d rather fight a Brig than a Tracer, any day of the week.

Gale is a god though.

I sleep Tracers a lot too but to be honest if you get slept as Tracer, its your own fault. Sleepdart takes ages to fire and Tracer has more than enough tools in her kit to prevent getting hit by that.

at higher ranks she will simply walk up yo you stun you and then you have a whole enemy team clicking on your head at same time, ya its that simple.

Yeah something i learnt is to punch instead of using flashbang ’ sleep dart or hook because tracer gonna recall thinking you are using them and then you can actually use them to kill her.

recall to dodge sleep stuns etc is overkill.

managing blinks is really important then you can use that instead and use recal to regain health and get out and wait for cooldowns.

Sombra,Sym,Moira and Ana as Brig counters LMAOOOOOOO

Brig HARD COUNTERS Sym if she has no turrets left and if Brig doesn’t have the gamesense of a potato.
Moira can’t do much against Brig outside her ult.
All Ana can do is hopefully sleep dart her and RUN.
Sombra’s Hack doesn’t disable Brig’s self heal and she’s weak against armor.

As for some of the other heroes you mentioned:
Pharah gets shut down by hitscan.
Widow and Hanzo won’t be of much use if there’s a Rein shield or Winston barrier around too.
Mei? well,good luck getting through that 600HP shield
McCree. lmao no.
Bastion is crap in general.

Orisa asks, what stun?

this is list is totally crap and totally biased with false counters

tracer has more counters than brigitte at the moment, there is a reason why tracer has one of the lowest winrates in the game right now while brigitte has one of the highest

Brig only has three hard counters and that’s widow, hanzo, and Pharah, maybe junkrat.

Tracer has hard counters like brig, and any hero with a cc.

hanzo that is in every game say bye to you shield. its a 6v6 not a 1v1.
