She’s the easiest hero in the game and all she does is try to cover up the fact that Dive still outclasses Deathball by “countering” it.
All she did was switch out Genji + Tracer for Doomfist + Sombra.
Instead of adding a skill-less version of Roadhog with zero long-term potential, they could have just nerfed the Dive heroes.
she’s op and stupid*
No she isn’t. She’s totally counterable and she’s useless if you actually swap to deal with her. It isn’t hard at all.
That doesn’t excuse the fact that she enforces terrible design. With these “solutions” Winston and D.Va will dominate the highest tier until the end of time.
The easiest hero to use?
Now look what you did, you made Torb cry!
we could argue about her being op but let’s agree to disagree, since we both agree that she has a garbage design
Honestly, if you nerfed Genji/Tracer/D.Va/Winston/Zen all at once, I do not even know what would happen to this place. All of those voices together definitely outclasses the Mercy mains and the ONLY reason we have not heard them… For the most part, is that they never get nerfed. The D.Va mains came out in full force after virtually every change that was a buff… to complain about unfair nerfs. Outside of when she was actually nerfed, where they were not even that heart broken about it. Genji and Tracer mains have been passive aggressively whining ever since Brigitte and Zen mains got mad when they tweaked his alternative fire to make him less of a SNIPER. Like… Bruh. All of them together? In fact, most of the vocal Brigitte hate we see is BECAUSE of them.
Beyond that, if you nerf dive, what happens to Brigitte? You almost have to make her worthless to compensate unless you just give all the dive heroes baby nerfs.
I would froth at the mouth and smash my PS4 into a million pieces if they nerfed dva.
…But she can counter both
So if you could pick a vague direction to nerf Brigitte, and a vague direction to counter-buff her, what would you pick?
I imagine less damage/survival, and more healing?
Torbjorn has a lot more to worry about than Brigitte.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the game functions properly.
Simply rework her to be more of a brawl hero instead of an Anti-Dive her. Make her good on close-range maps, that way she doesn’t even have to be present on Dive maps.
You’re right, the hero that has dominated the Off-Tank slot since Season 2 is perfectly fine.
No, she can’t. Winston and D.Va were picked more than the other tanks at the highest level even when Brigitte had a 5s stun and 150 armor on her ult.
More brawl, less anti-dive.
So is this less burst potential, less cc, or less armor?
As a D.va main myself, she kinda does.
I’m not saying she’s op, she was designed to counter dive heroes.
The most I can do is burn off her shield with MM before I go in and attempt to take her out, because her SB will negate my other abilities and is therefore a priority.
The reason why the bruiser tanks and even tracer are still so prevalent is because of how easy it is to outplay Brig, because you’ll always know what she’s gonna do next.
people complain about brig but she is mandatory. CC is mandatory vs mobility, but anti CC is mandatory vs CC. Brig has no anti cc, so this cc dive capability cancels out brig.
Not to mention that nerfing dive characters directly would have unknown consequences across the game, not to mention since brigs comp debut, the game has gotten way more balanced in terms of meta/viable characters from changes since s10 that may not have mattered at all if dive was still meta/dominant
I don’t agree with anything else you said, but you’re spot on here.
“I can’t be bothered to change” =/= uncounterable.
Less burst and less range, but more value over time.
Your personal opinion on Brigitte isn’t any more relevant than mine. D.Va and Winston have simply been played more at the highest level. The Dive tanks are simply better picks and have been throughout every stage of Brigitte’s entrance into the game.
No she isn’t. Dive wasn’t OP until they decided to buff Winston, D.Va and Zenyatta at the same time they nerfed Roadhog and Zarya.
Dude did you even read the rest of my post?
CC is mandatory to check mobility, anti cc is mandatory to check CC. Mobility was rampaging unchecked before s10 to where if you didnt have good mobility you were useless. However cc now is getting severely stronger and could run rampant, as from OWWC we are seeing a cc dive comp, stuff like this could actually become the meta and be insane.
Brig was necessary to check the rampaging mobility, now we need anti cc
It’s an anecdotal opinion on how Brigitte counters D.Va. It is wholly irrelevant.
Tell that to pre-S4 Overwatch.
yea, that was a completely different game.
s4-s10 was almost 2 years. So please dont try to say bu-but before s4. s4-s10 has been the biggest chunk of the games lifespan
It goes both ways with you claiming she doesn’t.
Point is, you can’t disregard the opinions of others just to prove you’re right about something that is also an opinion.
