I genuinely cannot understand how they thought this design was a good thing. DPS, healing, and Tanking all rolled into one. Almost no character can possibly 1v1 her because it’s so easy for her to brainlessly mash them to death. She’s not the strongest character in the game, but she is the only character so easy to use that a literal monkey can play and be effective with.
I cannot wait for blizzard to eventually rework her abilities, because that’s the only real way to fix this character.
At some point, it’s not even about balance, for the sealions who are coming in with her OWL playtime. The problem is that she is utterly brainless to play while being overly effective at her multiple roles. She’s not overpowered the same way Bastion was during the omnic patch or Mercy when she had 2 rezes, but I would rather fight against an OP mercy than ever play against Brigette again.
Actually, almost any character in the game can 1 v 1 her if they have range. The problem with Brigitte is usually when she plays around her team. In a duel, she is a joke.
Not going to happen, so don’t hold your breath, pumpkin. Instead, try to pick up Widow/Hanzo or Junk/Pharah and force her to switch off with relative ease.
Even though her winrates are fine, she’s just not fun to play against. It’s so boring, half of the time I just feel bad for the enemy team. They’re playing a shooter and they have someone on their team just holding rmb to hide 90% of the time because they can’t get close enough to do anything. I would much rather be playing against someone skilled at the hero they’re on who poses a threat, like a zen who can hit their shots.
I’m just waiting until the novelty of her wears off on people. It’s so easy to outplay her, even as genji or tracer. It’s just not fun. On top of that, once the brig realizes they aren’t capable of countering who they swapped to counter, they just bully your tanks and make the game unfun for them too.
Stop this. She has the lowest damage per second AND healing per second in the game. She has a lot of survivability only when she has something beat on. You can easily overwhelm her teammates due to how little healing she puts out.
You’re not supposed to 1v1 her. This is a 6v6 game.
She’s so OP she’s the 5th support out of six in pick rate. She can’t engage nor disengage reliably, in order to sustain her self she has to be exposed (so being low health on Brig is pretty much being dead, her barrier can’t even cover her whole body, etc.
A character being easier to use does not mean it is a problem.
Brigitte may be able to tank and heal, but she’s not particularly great at either. Her healing per second is the worst of all Supports, her damage is one of the lowest in the game, her range is one of the worst. Of course she has some decent durability and CC, because she’d be garbage if she didn’t.
Just hold that barrier while your self-heal does the rest. Again, can’t be subdued unless 2 or more are focusing her. She’s the only character that can do that, and to me that is OP.
Self healing on any character will always be hard to balance. Look at what Lucio was like on his first rework. They HAD to reduce his self healing compared to his aura because he was just unkillable.
I feel the same needs to happen to brig especially since she requires little aim to hit everything. Self sustain will always be hard to fight against.
Literally every tank works that way and she’s a tank hybrid. You’re not supposed to 1v1 her unless you’re playing the heroes that directly counter her.
