Sorry; it’s fact.
I’m looking at gm this month right now which is where people tend to play heroes which are considered OP and meta defining. Her pickrate in gm this month is 2.85 % with a winrate of 56.86%. This winrate is high because she fufils a niche which she was made to do and of course it is gm. Oh, Doomfist has a 2.66% pickrate with a 57.14% winrate. Which hero is more infuriating to go against; I’ll leave that up to you, but I know what most people will say. Or once again are we double standards?
She barely has a top 10 hero pickrate across all ranks.
Yeah, she may not take much skill in comparison to heroes such as mr stun locked into oblivion; but can we stop saying how she’s everywhere in your games, because she’s not…period.

She is like Mei. Annoying, but not OP

Brigitte is fine balance wise. I think a lot of us would just like to see her require more skill to get value out of her kit. It’s the same complaint I have about mercy - too much value for relatively little skill.

Shield Bash shouldn’t stun through barriers.
Where do y’all get those statistics. Every career profiles have been set on Private, which make websites like overbuff irrelevant now…

Two peas in a pod. Couldn’t fit a cigarette paper between them in terms of how annoying they are.
Doesn’t even matter how OP or balanced they are or how high or low their skill floor is. They are the death of fun, and a blight on this game.
Private profiles don’t effect pick rate and win rate statistics.
We must be interpreting statistics differently then. Cuz having the highest winrate in most ranks, and at the lowest being like the 4th top win rate while being in the top half of pick rates, that doesnt scream balanced. Oh and all this is during a meta with double snipers, you know, like her 2 biggest counters.

From the data i’ve seen, her skill floor needs work, but her overall power level is fine
So rein charge and Doomfist rocket punch.
Doesnt make it irrelevant, just a smaller sample size, less accurate yes, but better than no stats.

How does that data get selected? Where is the raw data for the pick rate and win rate stored/viewed from if it’s not from the public profiles?
I’m pretty sure I’m the only one that hates everything else about Brigitte except her kit. I hate her smug smile, face, personality, taunts, lore, appearance, hair, ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. Other than her kind of unique kit, she is a boring character and I could care less if she died in the lore.
Those are fine. Shield bash needs to change. Reinhardt has no counter play, he just had to sit there and take it from Brigitte.
the difference with those is that you dont get your own barrier with charge or rocket punch, and they can send you much further than your desired location, leaving you very exposed and as an easy kill. brig has a barrier and it doesnt leave her exposed at all for stunning. js

Rein stomps on Brig.
If you’re just sitting there taking it, then you’re the problem.

That’s only true in duel against her. If a brig gets close, Rein either drops his shield to deal with her (exposing himself and his team), gets stunned, or gives up ground and does nothing but barrier bot as long as she’s alive.
Stun IS stun regardless of the risk they both do the same thing ( stun target ) so if you think shield bash shouldn’t go through barrier then rocket punch and rein charge shouldn’t.
you’re not understanding, brig can close the distance without getting killed and can literally just get a free 1s stun on rein with almost ZERO risk involved, while rein charging is a serious risk almost all the time and doomfist is literally just a walking ball of either getting one pick or feeding. brigs stun is too reliable and risk-free as it is atm when compared to other stuns in the game. if you cant wrap your head around the concept of risk then you shouldn’t be trying to argue balance
