She needs a rework. Her hp and shield combo with armor and self heals, with the stun and with the longer range ability is just too much, she is overloaded. her stun is fundamentally broken seeing as she can stun, dps and then shield she can have around 700 hp on a relatively small hitbox. Her stun and shield need to be reworked.
At the moment she is making this game very unfun and frustrating for me no matter what hero i play.
She is as much overloaded as Genji, Doomfist or Roadhog are (hint: Not overloaded but in a very good spot), nothing special to see here really, you just need to find out her weaknesses and adapt.
She is fine, she does something very important for the game and that is balance the dps roster. Once the community learns to counter her she will be like Moora and fall to the bottom of the pickrate.
Um yes. She does. Shes weak against range heroes and burst damage.
Junkrat and Pharah can burst her down from a good range and make her shield obsolete. Brid cant do anything to Pharah whiles shes airborned, while Junkrat can just keep his distance and burst her down.
We even have heroes that can disable her. Mei and Sombra are good but you have to play carefully. Mei can freeze her in place while Sombra can hack her shield off. Doomfist is also good at meleeing her back as it goes through her shield but you have to keep track of her movements and her cd.
S76, Widow and Hanzo has the range advantage. Brid is effective in melee; close range. So keep your distance and shoot.
One of the things about Brid you have to keep in mind, is to keep your distance. When Brid tries to close in on you, you have to get away from her effective range.
Work as a team to burst down her shield, and remember even though shes a support, treat her as an off-tank; as she a hybrid of a tank and support.
Ah another victim of Brigette⦠she beat you up and took your lunch money in QP again? Do what the pros do, think about it, form a strategy and realize she isnāt all that bad.
Her pickrate trends has her dropping, if they maintain the rate they are now it should only be a few more weeks before she drops out of the meta in favor of double sniper due to the power of Hanzo and what it takes to counter him.
She will become a map dependent pick, if the enemy is going dive comp.
I think Brig and Moira both are very confused characters. Their recent rise has caused the healing balance to shift so that your burst heals are from the off-healer and DoT heals are from the main.
As far as her battle balance⦠uh⦠itās an FPS and maybe we shouldnāt be shooting our enemies at flailās reach?
I know this is a Brig thread but I really donāt like the low-skill high-payoff with Moira. Nerf dmg orb, it feels like getting killed by Scatter. Keep the ult charge even.
1, junkrat does have to be in distance to be effective. i donāt know what you mean āāfrom a good rangeāā you will most likely not hit her, unless you a spamming a choke in that case any hero with decent dps is good.
2, sombras hack is negated by brig turning around, mei is the least common pick ever in ranked.
3, s76 does not have substantial enough dps due to his spread that he is able to take down 600 hp and 250hp with armour. ive seen brig 1v3 tanks and dps alike because of this.
4, brig is usually a with a rein and is almost impossible to burst down unless caught in the open. and if she is she can shield bash and shield to cover.
5, keeping your distance when you have to take a small objective is fun.
They arent confused characters, just whiny players.
Brid is an off-tank/ healer while Moira is a main healer who can fend off flankers, same as Brid.
Its played as an FPS but remember, we have barriers, healers, ults, melee(rein and doomfist) and beam weapons. Its not a pure FPS, but combined with MOBA elements to make it more than just an FPS.
Bruh, you see a flying red orb coming towards you. Scatter can instant delete you, while you can just run from the orb. Its not something to even compare or complain about.
Why is brig, as an āāoff tank/healerāā able to outduel all dps in the game bar pharah, able to have 800hp worth of dmg blocking including her hp and is able to 1v3 during ult? Brig is able to chase down mcree and other non mobile heroes. āākeep your distanceāā
Just dont get into rangers where Brid can get to you and youāll do fine, thats what i meant. You can spam at any choke, but remember Junkrat deals a ton of damage that hes one of barrier shredders in the game.
Sombra CAN hack her, its just bugs plaguing her right now. Thats Mei in rank, but in general, in a team fight Mei can crippled Brid.
True, he doesnt but nonetheless he still has range over her and in a coordinated team has an advantage.
THATS more of a meta problem rather than a Brid problem. They can be hard countered but most of the heroes are either bugged like Sombra or just doesnt favor them like Junkrat because the higher rank is, you can get shot down by a Widow or Junk/
Itās not ābalanceā to straight dumpster tier every low DMG, high rate of fire hero in the game. Sure if you have 3k+ sort of aim she is less of an issue but at least from what I see out of say golds and lower in QP, with less then great aim, nothing dies unless the team goes pure burst DPS.
Being lower SR players miss more shots and then the ones that do from most/all of a certain class of heroes they are outputting 50% to 25% less DMG due to Brigitteās healing+armor+armor ULT (even after the patch).
Then all of the higher SR games are just Rein + Zar + 3 support + hanzo. Some times two support and double sniper. Wow, what ābalanceāā¦
Itās not even closed to balanced until you get all the way up into the point of a player being good enough to be paid to play the game.
I donāt think they will rework her 100%. I think the cool down still need more pause, odds are the shield needs less health. Itās going to have to be something or this current āwho can grav + dragonā the most play style is not going to end.
