Brig was created to destroy Tracer

Overwatch 1, I’m so glad nobody thought of using Brig to ENABLE Tracer back then that would of been craaazzyy.

It just did not matter. The armor mitigation invalidated her. She did not even destroy Tracer. Tracer wins those easily. The problem was that she leaves Tracer with no target as long as she gets peel.

No, Brig was created to counter Ana. Forumers said so

She countered dive as a whole when she came out. She is still good into Winston and Dva, but back then with all her amor, she cut their dmg in half too.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not because she did end up being a dive enabler in OW1, especially a tracer enabler.

Doesn’t Winston ignore Armour though? He does now I think at least.

Initial release Brig hard countered Tracer. Tracer got to close, Brig would delete her in one combo.

Now… not so much lol

He does currently, but that was a buff to Winston made during OW2.

Ah ok, wasn’t sure if that was during GOATS or not.

It took one shield bash to stun, one melee attack and a final whip shot to delete Tracer :sweat_smile:… Those were fun times :p…

But of course, it needed hard balancing and I guess they never got it right, ever… right ?

Those were good times, until she latered destroyed the DPS roster and all we had were four tanks and two supports lol

I’m afraid that Brigitte is destroyed by Winston…

If she doesn’t have either cd or her other support alive, sure. But with the boop and bashing away she can keep a lot of distance. But messing up his engage is awful for him.

You don’t even need to add another character to the equation other than Brig 1.0.

If you had a Brig 1.0 and the enemy didn’t, you were almost guaranteed to win.


Do y’all remember that casual Overwatch YouTuber that climbed from gold to masters by one-tricking Brig just to prove the point of how broken she was? Those were some wild times… :skull::skull::skull:

All because they refused to nerf Tracer meaningfully, even to this day.
