Yeah well Road has a self heal -300- which also makes him take less damage and he has 600 hp overall. Is he hard to kill ? And yes I used him especially because he has a huge hitbox just like Brigitte.
Brigitte gets shutdown hard by Pharah, Mei, Road, Bastion, Torb, Widow, Hanzo, Ana, Sombra, Symmetra, McCrea, Junkrat and I’ll just add D.Va cause she’s good against almost everyone.
500hp for her shield is really low. Don’t make it sound like it’s a lot you can literally take it down in 1s if just 2people in your team focus her or in about 3s if your alone. Yes she has armor but only 50 and her selfheal is 16hps, not gonna save her from a burst.
She’s one of the easiest character to Dive because she has no mobility and once she uses her stun she’s dead. She only stays alive because her team babysit her. In a two supports comp the main heal will have other thinks to do that priorizing the Brig for healing.
She has never replaced any tanks after the first few nerfs because she can’t take nearly as much damage as even Zarya can.
She was made to counter dive, she was supposed to be able to take care of her main heal by helping them when they get dived. Problem is, if you want to get any value from Brig you have to be on the frontlane with your tanks. And where your main heal is not.
She has such a low skill ceiling that even if you,ve mastered her you’ll get shutdown by other heroes because she doesn’t require much skill to play but gamesense like Mercy which means that in higher levels everyone has about the same gamesense and it’s usually really good, so then skill comes in to make the difference.
Maybe these number don’t mean anything for you but they certainly exist and have a meaning. That would be like saying Reaper is fine because he can do so sick stuff in plat and below and even if he only has 1, something in pickrate he,s fine.
No he’s not
It’s not even about how you play her it’s just how she was designed. She brings little to the team and with the upcoming huge nerf she’ll bring even less, she has no dps, she has a bit of utility but it’s nowhere as good as Zen Lucio or Mercy and she,s heavily reliant on her team since she can’t do much alone.
If you play her as an off heal good for you I just hope you won’t play in higher ranks because you’ll either get shutdown or be useless.
and good enough damage
and good enough heals
and a very goof ult
road has no shield
his healing can be canceled with a stun
his gun is hard to use
his only value is his 8 s hook
his ult is mostly bad
he has huge hitbox
feeds alot
Brigitte was never intended to be a healer. She was designed to counter dive. You’re expecting to run dive and win against a hero specifically designed to counter it. This isn’t a Brig is OP problem, this is a you problem.
Brigitte isn’t a strong pick; if she was she’d have a higher pickrate. Almost everything about her has been nerfed. She’s not a good healer, she deals minimal damage, and with the nerf to armour she’ll have awful survivability.
You would be better off picking Moira, Zen or Mercy for heals. You’d be better off slotting another tank for stronger defense and you sure as hell wouldn’t pick her over another DPS.
Yeah, goats is a pro problem, mostly since it’s the only meta they practice. But that just might indicate nobodies found anything better, not that goats is the meta. If it were, it would filter down to the lower ranks, but it doesn’t. And since the GM ranks just follow in the pros shadow, that’s all they tend to play.
Funny enough is that Brigitte might be getting a silent buff with the changes to armor.
Using rally speed boost to get picks quick, just swinging primary since bash is just 5 dmg, more heals per swing and it’s AOE.
Literally best thing to do with Brigitte is swing and just predict player movement. As well mess with player positioning with a mace to the face.
Brigitte is basically just an off healer support that’s meant to be a more melee based. Brigitte is really strong against dive or flanker heroes since she could just melee swing, CC stun, rocket flail and repair pack allies close to brink death.
She’s mostly a situationally hero at best if the meta isn’t involved
guys, brig is fine out of goats aswell, she just gets too much easy value in goats that’s it. but her actual kit makes her be playable in more situations than people might think.
i honestly think that people have barely scratched the surface of her actual capabilities.
Brigitte’s healing ability is on a cooldown and is single target. It’s used for when a teammate is in a pinch. You would never have Brigitte be your main healer because she doesn’t do enough healing. Her “Inspire” passive is more of a self-heal and is basically equivalent to Lucio’s healing aura.
She’s not “Overloaded”, she has a 500hp Shield that can protect herself, Repair Pack is single target only and has a cooldown. She has 200hp + 50 armour. She deals very little damage and is a melee character. Her whipshot is really situational given that it knocks the target back. Inspire does very little healing.
Just because a hero can heal, doesn’t mean they’re a healer. Soldier has a healing ability but you wouldn’t call him a healer.
no burst
not a click to save life
has armor
has a stun
a shield
funny how people now want brig to heal when they wanted her to be a dps/tankbuster 2 nerfs ago
Her damage is good enough if you buff her healing yes. If we could look at her stats in games where she’s played in non Goats teams, you’d see that her healing is really not good enough.
Her ult is good but it received a massive nerf and it still isn’t quite as good as Trans or Broshield. It takes a long time to be fully applied and it won’t save you in a grav combo or with a nanoblade etc. But I do agree that her ult is good for what it does. Better than Mercy’s anyway
Brig doesn’t have 600hp and her Shield can get destroyed very easily but you can also just stun her to cancel it or use Ana’s nade behind her etc. Her shield is not that big.
True but that’s why there is a skill ceiling and if you can really use his gun well you’ll do a lot of damage. Brig’s weapon can only be used in melee though while Road can still have some pressure mid range.
He is also very good against shields
No his ult is situational. A bad ult would be McCree. Road needs to be helped when he’s ulting but it does a lot of damage and has a high kill potential
Brig also has a huge hitbox for a 250hp target. Way bigger than any support.
