Well thanks to all the hate and backlash against Brigette, she is nerfed you guys are an amazing community so beautiful 10/10. A character who STRUGGLES against ranged dps is mediocre at healing and has to commit or have the enemy team play into her to even get value is getting nerfed. It is sad to say that this is Blizzard pandering to the low ranks around my level of gold. I honestly can not believe how short-sighted and childish most player can be. Brigette was going to be that hero to force coordination ON BOTH SIDES in a TEAM GAME. But no you want it to be easy again you donât want to have to try a little bit to kill a hero no everything must be easy for you right? I am disappointed Blizzard, you know how terribly weak she is to here counters and even a little bit of focus and you go nerfing her. Can not wait until she is like hog, Nerfed into the ground barely played in that precious Overwatch League of yours.
Wait so whoâs the problem here?
Is it the low ranked casual or the guys who are sufficiently hardcore to be watching OWL?
Both. Iâve never seen such mobilized hate for a hero who is legitimately under powered as soon as any focus comes to her
Sheâs nowhere close to being in OWL yet lol wtf
I love brig ok, but itâs 50 armor off her ult. Meaning it builds just as quick for the same duration. So only part nerfed is the bonus armor after the ult ends, and thatâs still just a BONUS.
You can still run around bashing everyone and ulting non stop, so I wouldnât play the victim of community feedback card until sheâs in a wheelchair using a pool noodle. Ok?
To be fair, itâs pretty easy to bully someone off of Brigitte using Junkrat or Pharah, but itâs problematic that even in the higher ranks her winrate is still around 60%.
I know people say âwait until they learn to counter her,â but sheâs not exactly a new hero.
That argument worked back when the hero went pretty much straight into the competitive scene, but people have been figuring out how to use her and counter her for a long time now.
Dudes up in masters and grandmasters have definitely been preparing for her arrival, and even then itâs around 60% winrate.
Cheers to that!
I canât wait until she is nerfed into the ground either. I guess we all can agree on something. 
this is b8 right? if so itâs pretty frickin strong b8.
I honestly donât see the big deal with Brig.
Before and after the changes.
I countered her hard with DoomFist. Plat/diamond Rank too.
People donât like to adapt.
Sheâs extremely weak to range and no one likes to shoot at the shield for some reason? it melts so fast.
Yeah, we did it.
Maybe try not to attach yourself so much to overtuned heroes next time?
Wait what did they change armor wise patch just said they reduced the bash cone from 90 to 60 which as someone who play Brig i think it needed I was stunning ppl that I clearly missed
Brigitteâs addition was primarily made to counter an overused playstyle; Dive. Her main focus is to protect her healers and defense heroes so Dive DPS canât whip their crap so easily. Iâm happy Dive comp is getting a beating.
Brig could use a few nerfs, but her characterâs purpose is to stun backliners, which is a similar defensive playstyle that McCrees and Lucio players, to protect their backline with stuns and boops. But people play those heroes the exact same way, offensively because âto hell with helping my team, Iâll just be amazing myself.â Brigitteâs kit is centered entirely around pesky and fast DPS like Tracer and Genji. Also meant to be used, just like any stun, to open enemies up for attack.
Time to learn some new heroes, you canât just simply glide through competitive playing Genji and Tracer anymore. Time to grow with the game you play, or leave. Iâll be happy to show you the door.
Nothing yet, but this is scheduled for the PTR:
Ok I hope they tweak the ult a bit that armor stays to long it discourages engagements to much and which needs to be balanced i donât know how many times I should of been punished for mistakes I made but didnât because that armor was still on the character is fun to play but needs some tweaks hopefully they fix it without destroying her
Except the fact that she counters way more people than just dive DPS.
And so does McCree and Lucio. Lucio boops tanks further into his own teamâs line if heâs ballsy enough. McCree can stun over Rein shields and even kill misplaced DPS and healers.
Itâs all situational. Tanks and other DPS probably shouldnât be too close to her. Sheâs a Swedish warrior, sheâs goign to be laying as much of a smack down as Rein will if you step too far out of line.
Except thereâs counterplay for both boop and flashbang. How is Rein supposed to counterplay shield bash?
If thatâs the core of this problem, then I actually had a great idea. Maybe her shield bash interacts with enemy barriers. Like if she bashes into one, it stops her and those behind donât get affected.
McCree can stun over Rein shields, not through them. Itâs honestly a ridiculous mechanic. Brigette stun needs to not go through shields, full stop. Rein/Orisa/Symm or Winston bubble. Maybe then tank will be playable again. Because right now the whole entire class is in shambles.
AhemâŚ
Zaryaâs bubble stops her bash, and Orisaâs fortify makes her immune to stuns. Itâs an even dumber arguement to say tanks are irrelevant.
But like I made mention, if thatâs the main issue everyoneâs concerned about, then make her bounce off of shields or something.
All I know is if a Pharah forces me to either; Learn a ranged hero like 76 or Widow or something to kill her, then Brigitte is just fine forcing tanks to hop to either OR15A or Zarya. Fair enough?
If not, then nerf Pharah first. Done deal.
