Herpickrate in GM 4.83%(risen from 12th most picked to 9th most picked hero)
and 57% winrate(along with DF)
while everyone else got 55% or less
And it doesn’t matter that she’s the 4th most picked support.Because it’s the support meta and the only DPS before brigg is a lone genjo.
So are the devs gonna take notice of those stats or what?
And you have come to conclusion that winrate is superior indicator than pickrate,how?
D.va had 3-5 place in pickrate since forever, when will dev notice???
I don’t understand the problem.
4% pickrate? Least picked Support?
Because, unless the pick rate is so low that it shows a niche character being used in their niche, like old Symm, or so high that it shows a character being mirror matched, like old Mercy, win rate is is a far better indicator of a character’s power, rather than their popularity.
So … she’s doing her job…?
Yes… A little bit too well. And possibly the job of another character also.
What it shows is that teams with Brigitte beat teams without Brigitte most of the time.
Wrong, and no, I’d understand if it was 12% pickrate but it isn’t.
It’s 4%.
She’s just doing her job.
If she was picked 12% of the time her Win rate would fall due to mirror matching.
Pick rate tells you popularity, but doesn’t directly tell you about a character’s power.
she is getting nerfed each patch. it will take 3-4 months untill she gets balanced. also ignore the people who say she is fine. same people said mercy was fine after her first nerf.
You assume a lot for sake of argument lol.
She’s the easiest hero to play against on the roster by far. You’re better off with other supports in most situations.
So are we to go off of stats to figure out what needs to be buffed/nerfed?
Well, if that’s the case… Time for Sombra (with the lowest win rate) to get buffed to oblivion. Maybe hacking heroes auto-kills them? She’d be a solid Brig counter 
.
No? That’s stupid? Well lowest win rate, right? She needs the buffs, right?
You can’t balance game mechanics based solely on win rates, win rates by a relatively thin margin at that… Especially with a small sample size (compared to other “meta” heroes) of under 4%.
TDLR: you don’t balance a game on stats, you do it by mechanics.
What about Reinhardt, D.Va, etc. who (while having a bit smaller winrate) have been must picks in whatever the enviroment was?
If you want to “balance” a 2% winrate with nerfs then you should do the same with whatever high pickrate we are having because those ppl simply make others unplayable.
Not to mention that I’ve never ever seen you complaining about such things when it was Tracer’s turn to be on the uncontested top.
It’s the fact that she has a decent - good pickrate, yet highly outclasses her peers in every rank. You don’t see the problem?
She’s too strong, her kit is overloaded, that’s the problem.
Tracer has never been the uncontested top, and you won’t find any stats that would support that conclusion anywhere.
That’s why I don’t say it.
Plus, in nearly two years of OW, I have less than an hour on Tracer.
Unless you have amazing mechanical skills picking Tracer will hinder your team more than it helps, even in metas that favour her.
I never complained because she took effort and skill. And she could definitely be shut down with good aim.
D.Va is a popular hero throughout the ranks,but unlike Brigg she is not easy to play and unbalanced.
Her winrate in bronze is 48.37% which is in line with the rest.And only gradually rises as the rank increases around 50-52%,with a peak 54.16% in GM.
While Brigg has a 54.83% winrate in bronze,while everyone else has under 50%.And the winrate is steady or increasing throught the ranks.
D.va unlike her is not an easy hero to play,and has a relatively high skill floor and a high skill ceiling.
And Brigg’s pickrate is everything but niche,that is just an excuse.Then all the DPS heroes who are currenlty bellow her in pickrate would be considered niche.
You’ll always have the popular heroes. Genji, Tracer, D.Va, Mercy.
Brigitte is effortless and a good pick, as she can do essentially everything.
No because what you said is completely incorrect lol. You literally gave us those stats yourself which contradicts what you’re saying.
Also, her kit is specifically designed for her - it would be overloaded if we gave her some range.
She can heal, DPS, give out armor, has 2 forms of CC, she can tank, she can burst heal, and she can group kill. She’s a total 1v1 beast in general.
She’s quite the unit. If people used to say Genji was overloaded, well, Brigitte is far worse.
No, hardly anyone ever said that. Those that did, quickly learned. You will too, don’t worry.
I liken Brig to Bastion at launch… Boy, you should of seen the forums at launch… Poor Bastion.
