likely due to beign 1shotable by the most popular tank.
Sure, blame it on Brig instead of on Ana, works for your narrative I suppose. Also means you get to ignore a portion of Overwatch’s history, and revisionist views seem to be en vogue anyhow.
Hitscan aim is literally the lowest form of skill. It’s purely mechanical and requires zero thought
Literally point and click.
What about bap? He makes a lot of fun and is unique
They nerfed her TO THE GROUND! Why!?
She was still bad BEFORE she got nerfed. Please, begone.

Forum experts two weeks ago - “She will still be meta after this nerf”.
This so much. There’s just an abundance of absurd and naive players and sadly this time they got the attention of the devs and they got tricked into making toxic changes like her nerfs were
Interesting choice of words there…
Ok? I don’t see how they’re interesting or anything out of the ordinary. Just used them because they describe the situation quite well
and the game has been so much fun ever since!
Okay, I take it you go to school then.
Brigitte should have never touched GM, that was the first problem. Her design is flat and simple, not a single spark of depth on it. Definitely not what should/want to be seen in GM. Rework is the wtg.
Yeah but the queen is OP in chess and they don’t buff the King.
They need to add another support in first though, but nope the next 5 heroes will be DPS because 80% of the roster isn’t enough.
Im curious…cause we had some releases amazing like…
Doomfist release (we wanted a tank, we had a meele fighter borken at launch)
Briggite Support antidive…and at launch anti everything, we devs deny it is OP, then we nerf her to the ground as we saw the outcome…who would have thought a design like that could cause this havoc?
Echo (you asked for a support, we gave you another dps) Can we say that we already forgot it is in the roster?
Sigma (we had a shield problem, so we added more), nerfed again after the release to a so so state, nice way to adress the shield problem…adding more…and then erf it, basically like doomfist came after people asked for NO MORE cc…or one hit combos…and there you have it, another one.
Hammond, interesting fun, annoying as hell. Another reason to be pushed levitating floating…in capable hands a beast, no middle term there…in not so capable…a nuisance for both teams.
Ana… one of the supposed releases that was succesful, dominating the meta with the few brackets between mercy meta and the briggite one, and…the double shield one…the rest of the time… antinade dominates, is not skillful and…you know …is Ana.
Mercy, the rework we didnt want, needed or asked for but few youtubers that made it popular, got the mercy moth meta for too long. Now is left alone, at least.
Baptiste, one of the last options as supports in a shrank roster, he came to create a bunker, he left not adding anything of interest .
Roadhog, the returned from the grave …we do not want his combo to be one shot kill ability so we nerf him to the ground, Doomfist was released short after…cause you know…not one hit kill combos. Ahh but a simple rework made him viable…and now…mandatory.
Symmetra… more time in the designing table than anyone else. Next time she will be able to fly…to do what?..no idea but hey lets give them ideas. Still ignored.
Bastion, a flawled design even in forbes articles when overwatch was released. Still ignored by high ranks, noobs and casuals and low ranks stomper without remorse… he will be cursed for eternity to be hated by not coordinated teams and casuals…and still ignored by the rest. Bastion players and the ones who suffer them…both happy.
Junkrat (we added a double mine to add mobility)… I do not think mobility is what he needed the most precisely.
reaper, that shadow step is a waste but hey… lets put soul orbs, no no…now steals life to kill goats…mission accomplished?..no, not really, we needed to nerf brig but hey… we kept his life steal long enough to make everybody else suffer.
Tracer…we buffed and created counters to flankers enough to make her not see any game, lets buff her… and after nerfing her counters. Mobility advantage?..is still there same as genji.
Genji…a kit that was overloaded… amazingly good in capable hands… hey lets create hard counters to him, so he is unplayable…now lets buff him…and now…lets nerf him. Rollercoaster of emotions.
Soldier, the most reliable dps…with an impressive damage output, no…not now…but hey he has a come back…sorta???
Mcree… (the anti flanker that NEVER countered a flanker so…he joined their ranks) his ultimate is suicidal buttom, his cc was of little use against flankers
…oh wait, no…the only ones affected by its cc was precisely…the characters with not so high mobility. Oh crap…lets increase his reload speed, also the roilling will reload his clip…wait what?..still of no use? weird.
Widowmaker, smurfs territory, terrible if ignored, must be op so lets now decrease the damage. We do not know what to do with a skilled character that can dominate or do nothing, but nothing in the middle.
Lucio… dominates, dominates dominates…speed up utility for real…dominates. Never touched and when touched…never in the parts that made him meta for years …well, till ana came.
Hanzo, scatter what?..now dragon arrow…lets make him now fart dragons, that will make him playable…wait what he is not?..strange…
Moira, what to be said about Moira… so effective and easy than you have a support harrashed by flankers…pick a Moira… is done. Will be interesting when Blizzard realize that damage output can be reduced…but with the mobility the game has…maybe, just maybe, a reliable source of damage like torb turret or …something easier…destroys in low levels. That damage output…well Moiras are not supposed to see high rank games right?, they have no right same as bastion I guess…??
Sombra, yeah stop sighing, is in your team…take into account that you have one teammember less. What can we do…they do what they can but the hacks will rarely see success if the team do not follow…so …maybe can be of use in a coordinated experienced team…what? that the owl league do not want to be hacked?..oh well…leave her around there on… lost and found to see if someone claims her back.
Orisa… hey I have an idea, lets make another strange character with a shield, but that can be placed, lets add it enough life to …set up a bunker…humm people do not play her too much, oh wait…now nerfed all counters she dominates …and now…nerfed again. Is that cute centaur robot alike with kid voice that is next to roadhog and zayrah.
Zayrah, never been a tank was so much dps-ing.
Mei… the psychopath. Humm…she can dominate she can be trash, all in oen click…but hey…lets keep her waving as a psychopàth as we lose our mind as we lost control of our characters. Same as brigitte people loved her from the very beginning, is she op? is she underpowerd? is she balanced? how cares?..just keep her away from me…
Phara also known as the bully, Look she stomps casuals, pick a pharmacy, and counters will seat blood to track and aim above. But but but she needs buffs!!!, you have not played in bronze silver or gold for long…right?. Still poor pharas know that their place has a ceiling same as torb bastion and many others only designed to be a nightmare for casual people. (Or bad players like me).
D.va …i do not care if is diva, D.va or diva or… the only thing that matters is that…lets take away the shields and lets add missiles!!!. Diva missiles…the most useful add to a character you took the shield from (and being a tank)…since the invention of the back scratcher.
Rein, reliable defender…a gentleman…a gentlema than dominates, is apunching box, then is cc, ed all the time… dominates again…now shields are made of paper… When I retire I would not want to have his life.
So apart of the sarcasm and surely that nobody will agree entirely or disagree completely with this little joke…I can only recommend the balance and developer team to stop using substances of unkown origins. Cause they are masters of creating interesting characters without lore or story…but great designs, but in the mechanical part, gameplay design or balance…maybe is time to let other people do it for them…
Wait…I had another idea" said part of the team…“I had an idea to solve the balance and even solve the mess we are created in a fast way…” …really …how??
Is called …Overwatch 2
Some people could see this coming, some people didnt (yeah, they exist) and some people wanted this to happen.
Seems the movement #deletebrig got their wish done and it is sad because the hero could still be viable but that shield … that lack of mobility and the stupid low HP she has, if you pick her, you are basically feeding 90% of the time.
Considering the impact she had on the game,it’s better she stays that way for now until they rework her completely.
JK in an interview with stylosa when people cried about Briggite “she doesnt need nerfs…oh i Know what the people say that…she is superman and this and that…hahahahaha” that was…humm three weeks before the huge nerfs and the owl complaining?.
The difference, the forum experts are not paid for that
She is in a good spot. A threat to no one.
They are not going to do anything to Brig until the OWL grand finals are over.
A dev already said in a private OWL discord they nerfed Brig, Orisa & Sigma so there is little chance of double barrier showing up in the grand finals. They want to make sure it’s entertaining to watch.
