Brigitte is the worst

I’m just vocalising my frustration here.
Make assumptions, say I’m just complaing without feedback, whatever crap you wish to deny the truth. I have to say this.

Let’s break this down to the very fundamentals.

How the HECK is stacking permanent armour a good idea???

Giving your whole team an extra 150 armour each PERMANENTLY is OP AF. Having it gradually increase while in the aura is fine but please have it gradually decrease after you leave the area of affect.
Otherwise you just group before a team fight and gain 900 combined ARMOUR, It’s not even regular health!!

I understand her stun is for self sustainability but she’s not a support! She’s a healer tank DPS hybrid all in one with her only downside being lack of range. It’s completely insane, cannot believe this went live and there’s no way she can be excluded from any team composition. Please increase the cool down or even remove the ability to delete Tracer. “But that’s the point ree” It just reminds me Bastions iron clad, except it’s not as blatant to all levels of play.

Her passive health regeneration is actually an incredible form of sustain and causes any other close range hero’s to struggle to kill her either alone, or in the centre of the team. Although the range isn’t massive it makes her mandatory on any close range engagement. It’s the main reason we are in a 3 tank, 3 support meta.

Her ranged heal is essentially a Zarya bubble, however it’s much less aprent when a enemy has acquired this, same with her permanent armour. I would much rather this didn’t heal and gave the 75 armour permanently rather than temporarily. (Of course not stacking)

Her flail requies no mechanical skill but combined with her robust kit this also another point that has made her incredibly irritating to play against. Personally I think the knockback needs a reduction as the swing speed is faster than Reignhardt. That would allow close range combat such as Reaper to be a better option against her.
Her ranged poke is the middle finger to dive, allowing her passive to heal from range.

To conclude this is turning into one of the worst states the game has ever been in.

Combined BrigIttes abilities make her an all in one package. She’s objectively overpowered.

She has significant burst damage to deal with flankers, stun to OHK Tracer without being vulnerable herself.

Enemy Main tanks such as Winston and Reignhardt get stunned to oblivion without counter play. Ironically you’ll want a Reignhardt in maps like Kings and Oasis university. Whichever Brig stuns the Reign first gets a free shatter.

Did I mention her having close range passive with huge armour stacks kicks most flanking options thrown out the window and forces a tank meta where MAIN TANKS ARE HORRIBLE TO PLAY…

I am just so dissapointed in the Overwatch team for allowing this. It’s inexcusable and frankly I cannot wait to see the hardcore Undeniable proof in stage four of owl if BrigItte is available.

Too bad she just instantly closes the gap and permastuns you for 1000 years until you’re dead because her combo is beyond busted.

Also, both characters you mentioned are highly mobile, so…

She counters skill, all heroes, and fun.
Literally everything that this game needs to function, she counters.

All I want to say here is, there has only been two heroes who could dethrone dive.
Mercy and Brigitte.

If you believe Brigitte is OP, this proves that dive is also OP.

Ah yes, the old, never go to point strat. I’ve yet to see it work, but odds say it’s gotta happen sometime soon!

Either way your last played competitive season ended at 1926.
Bridgette is even worse in quick play because you end up encountering her a lot more in 1v1 situations, typically because there is no coordination. She is literally the best 1v1 hero in the game. Roadhog? Nope. She can delete him off the map now. Just need to stun when he’s healing and shield the hook.
She’s broken. Easy to play, has no counters, and is incredibly boring to face. Something needs to be done.

17

yea she sucks for sure, this is really dumb

18

It is pretty insane how her armor, passive healing, and stun enable her to completely outmatch hog in a 1 v 1 situation.

And vent all you like TC. You’re not alone lol. I hope you didn’t have the displeasure of playing Mayhem against her. Her stun is on a 2 second cooldown there. It was absolute hell.

If you are struggling against her as hog. Wow.

Besides planning your heals after stuns there is nothing to worry about

20

Uh what? Hog can’t do anything to her. Speaking from playing as BOTH characters lol.

Hog can’t one shot her. Hog can’t heal against her. He can’t deal enough sustained DPS to tear through her armor and self healing. He straight up loses. If you’re close enough to ult her, she’s close enough to interrupt with a stun.

Wow, just wow.

Ok man, it’s not like you have a shotgun, easily enough time to heal after stuns, and her “combo” is less then half your health.

Or anything

22

See, if you played the match up at all, you’d realize that Brigitte is only ever going to stun you when you attempt to heal or when you attempt to ult. Any brigitte that’s starting off with a stun is playing it wrong.

So no. Hog doesn’t get any healing against her lol.

23

Then don’t engage. What Hog runs in huffing gas lol

24

This advice contradicts the message that your earlier post implied.

Which is it? Don’t engage because its a bad match up or engage because its a good match up?

25

Play Junkrat. Brigette who?

26

I agree 100%. Brig is terrible. Even if she’s not OP, she takes loads of fun out of the game. And she’s probably OP too. Just terrible design.

If you believe Brigitte is OP, this proves 6 character coordinating is also OP.

I’ve done Bridgette versus road hog 1v1s at master level with my friend. The only condition was we weren’t allowed to leave the point we were on.
He was a hog main for a long time and couldn’t beat me as Bridgette. I play some hog and I didn’t even come close to killing him as Bridgette. -MASTER LEVEL PLAYERS-
Please if you think it’s bad that a hog can’t beat a Bridgette in 1v1, I’d be more than happy to prove that you are naive, if you want to try it in custom games with me.

Because tons of offense characters have enough burst damage to make the armor meaningless.

At least you got that part right, it’s only useful before or after a team fight. Not during one. Aside from that, it’s still not a problem for burst damage, which you can ask any Bastion, Reaper, or Junkrat about.

First, she has extremely low damage overall, barring her combo, which is only dangerous to a mech-less D.Va or a Tracer. Second, that IS indeed the point. It’s low damage, and she can easily be excluded from a team if the enemy team doesn’t have major dive characters. There’s nothing saying that she’s required for every team, especially not with her minimal healing output compared to other healers.

Those people must be terrible at killing Lucios then, seeing as how she has the lowest healing rate out of any healer, Lucio included. What’s more, it also requires being within 6 meters, since that is the required distance to hit someone with her flail, and that is required to activate Inspire. It only lasts a little while, and it also has a small cooldown before it can re-activate.

Also, no, that’s not going to happen. Three tanks and three supports is a guaranteed way to lose against a team that’s actually proper. They don’t have enough damage to last a couple of team fights.

The armor from Repair Pack IS temporary. Even then, she’d be completely useless if she didn’t have that as a healing ability.

Don’t you dare. Mechanical aim IS. NOT. THE. ONLY. SKILL. IN. OVERWATCH.

Objective doesn’t work in the context where it’s all factless assumptions and bad opinions.

Her burst damage is very minor, and she was designed specifically to deal with Tracer. I’d rather be bashed a thousand times than ever have to deal with a Tracer ever again.

Winston, I can believe, but what Reinhardt is being dumb enough to get up in a Brigitte’s face? He’s supposed to be with his team and letting them deal with her, plain and simple.

Considering how incredibly oppressive the dive meta has been for the last…what, 6-7 seasons, I’d say this is a welcome change. The dev team also commented that they wanted her to be able to change the game state and how it’s been, and if it has to happen, than they just did their job.

Wow, how incredibly ungrateful and insulting. Did you ever once think that you were being so offensive to what the team had planned on doing for a while? Just learn to take the high ground and stay with your team, don’t just run in alone and get killed.

Also, don’t pretend that the pros are seriously going to have any problems with a character whose flaws are as glaring as Brigitte’s. Look at how many people play as Junkrat alone, and you’ll easily see how few people will bother with her.
