Brigitte Gameplay Q&A with Geoff Goodman

Since you guys are going to be releasing heroes and maps at the season starts from now on, are you planning on also doing this for hero changes/reworks?

This will make each season more unique and consistent, which is what you are going for.

I like the trend of melee heroes as of late (Doomfist, and now Brigitte.)

Along with role choice, are you guys looking into making more builders/snipers as well? What are the sub-roles that interest the development team the most right now?

How do you think Brigette will change this meta? If at all.

What is the Overwatch team’s vision for how Brigitte will be used? What sort of gameplay niche is she intended to fill?

There will be other melee heroes like Brigitte?

What was the thought process on what abilities go to what button layout? To me Shift is an awkward place to put the Whip Shot. On live I will probrably switch it to E and have the med pack to shift. Following Zenyatta’s Orb heal.

As long as you can’t spell her name correctly I dont see you dating her anytime soon . . .

Compared to Reinhardt, does she have more/less or equal dps from her melee? I know each Brigitte swing does half the damage of Rein’s hammer (35 vs 70) but she swings much faster so I’m curious.

If Brigitte DOESN’T change the meta, what do you plan on doing to fix this game?

WHEN Brigitte DOESN’T change the meta*

ftfy
Also, they should probably address the mobility power creep across the board to fix the issue.

What is your opinion or brigittes ultimate. should it be used offensively or defensively.

How long does it take to implement abilities in game? From concept to finished in game looks and sounds.

Why do you and the rest of the overwatch team hate dive? I mean a lot of buffs and heroes have been kinda about countering dive. Also i just wanna touch on Genji, it feels kinda unrewarding to play him, especially his ult, maybe bring it back to 8 seconds, personally i’d love that.

Having her e activate her passive would fix her lack of poke and thus lack of healing.

Genji is the most balanced hero in the game ATM, his blade is incredibly rewarding, he just has counters. Please don’t change him Dev team…

Every time I tune into the Overwatch League, it seems like the same heroes are always being played (Winston, D.Va, Tracer, Genji, Widowmaker, Zenyatta…). How does this impact design choices when making a new hero? How did it impact Brigitte?
