hi. brigitte is fun to play according to most ppl but bad for the game. a few thoughts as follows…
stop adding heroes that dont require aiming, this is a FPS not warcraft.
stop adding heroes that simultaneously do dmg and healing to themselves/others. whats this, a overwatch version of warlock?
she has too many tools in her toolbox. hey as mccree can i get a shield too? shes anti-flanker ok fine, but since when do healers necessarily have to be tanky? arent the usual suspects supposed to chime in here saying team game etcetc? healers should be average health and overall toughness and they should avoid dying partly through help from their team.
as a healer her overall offensive output is too high. she does not need a stun, or her melee swing speed needs a small nerf, possibly both. if i had to choose id say lose the stun. shes just overall too good with an intentionally well rounded toolkit which borders on the ridiculous.
to be clear, i think she should be removed. we dont need the overwatch version of a paladin. add something that requires, i dunno, aiming ffs
and buff mccrees falloff damage, its a bit much. have you forgotten how expansive some of your maps are?
Overwatch is not FPS either. It’s kind of melting pot from different shooters like Quake, TF2 and others.
McCree should have no Problem against Brigitte. Throw Flashbang and Fan the Hammer, she is dead. Didnt you try? Shield doesnt protect her from Stun well, because it’s small.
The damage from swing is just 35, Ana and Lucio have more Damage than her.
Support =/= Healer.
Zenyatta is DMG-Support and deals damage more than all supporters, but terrible at healing… it’s just secondary, great for Flanker.
Brigitte is real supporter, not a goofy heal bot.
Overwatch is a mixture of fps and moba, so its normal that type of character. Yes, Brigitte can heal through damage, but is just a small healing, wont save her or anything. She’s easily counterable and her role is to protect against the flankers. Lets be honest, before Brigitte Tracer didn’t had any real counter in the game. She’s fine as she is
you’ve obviously played with a half decent brigette.
shes effectively a 850 health healer (her 600 hp shield, shes probs more with armor damage reduction and self healing) with a 190 damage combo on one of the lowest cooldowns in the came, not to mention she can make everyone a tank with her ult. shes stupid op, I really hope she gets nerfed soon.
overwatch is a FPS. lets just be clear on that right now. AFTER the game was started, then they added a few things that dont require aim, such as moira. which i feel they should not do. but my opinion doesnt matter… kinda like yours xD
no i generally have np against her as mccree. if you can flash over hte top of a rein shield you can certainly do it to brigitte. and her shield is smaller. no big deal.
her swing does small dmg but it swings FAST, she can burn down a half health target almost right away. ive already seen a couple very good brigittes that were cleaning house like a champ. which is fine but not from a support.
also, support = healer. lets not start reinventing stuff here. just cuz they use a different cute little name for healer in this game doesnt mean much. and yes there are various flavors of healer, such as zen, who is a healer but only like a pinch/spot healer, yes. whatever.
all of these arbitrary opinions of yours dont touch on any of the concrete, objective points i mentioned in the OP, like at all =(
She has a 155 damage combo, unless you’re saying that Brigitte chases you down and hits you twice after knocking you back with whip-shot.
Symmetra can give everyone in a 50 meter radius 75 extra health, torbjorn can give anyone a 75 health boost. Lucio can give a temporary health boost of several hundred points. But suddenly, a class that can give armor overtime in an 8 meter radius as an ultimate is overpowered?
Well Brigitte is a healer, idk why healers arent allowed to do damage lmao. Also a lot of people have trouble aiming do to problems they cant help like visual impairments and the like. i think its great that there are heroes that dont rely heavily on aim since it allows for a wider player base and lets people who struggle with aim enjoy an FPS type game more. I dont get why people are so against heroes that dont require perfect aim
one screwy thing about her is that armor she gives seems to stick, like its permanent, instead of lasting a short time as youd expect.
healers doing damage is fine. its the WAY she does damage, AND the fact she has a stun, AND a shield, AND AND AND… understand?
healers should be able to do some kind of damage, sure. id be first to say that. and we all know things like mercy and ana can do pretty legit dmg. hell, mercys gun can even headshot haha =]
but seriously, its like they just made a melting pot of a bunch of different abilities and literally gave brigitte a little bit of everything. i think literally the only thing she does not have is long range. shes just dumb and bad for the game imo.
A) If he uses his shield right yes! remember you have to BREAK HIS SHIELD to get past it unless you are diving
B) Melee, shieldbash, melee, flail, melee is 190 damage.
C)it takes 2 people for the same health one of them using an ult and its locked down to a certain area for half of it, if an ult can only give half the health with no damage mitigation and locked down to a certain area and the other ult gives 150 damage mitigating armor that stays ( youre choosing to ignore that its not an 8 meter radius if you use it like any smart player would before fighting to stack the armor and then going in. You don’t drop shield gen mid battle in the fight nor should you stack the armor, unless youre like gold or below) so lets see what you have now.
her stats on overbuff or anywhere else mean nothing until after shes played in comp for a bit… which i hope doesnt happen due to her being removed.
furthermore, if shes buffed she’ll be even MORE ridiculous, i really dont see that happening =P jeez an even stronger brigitte. dont get me wrong, sounds super fun to play but just bad for the game, bad design, bad bad bad. =(
