Regarding this! I have a question: Is Brigitte supposed to be taking damage by Junkrat, Pharah AoE as well as get stunned by Flashbang even if the shot/ability actually hits the shield?
Because I do realise they are supposed to counter her to some degree but is she supposed to be completely open like that to AoE? Are you considering increasing her shield size? (Without increasing her Shieldbash hitbox because thereās already enough complaints on the forums regarding that)
I managed to snag her for a few hours, thanks to my SSD, some lucky load times, some well timed alt+tabs, and some quick draw clicking. Definitely feels very likely to win, while Brigitte is in the hands of a tank/support player. Even though I feel equally likely to win as with a pure Moira, having access to both makes most games incredibly fluid if Iām in control of one of them.
General rule of thumb with myself and Brigitte: if she dives in with her ult on, that means we can usually win the team fight. Letting Brigitte die in this ult form, and losing the followup teamfight for not following her, generally makes me annoyed at the members who arenāt nearby and wastes Brigitteās perma armor stacking ult.
And this is why I stopped flexing (specifically in ranked). I play the heroes I want to play now instead of constantly trying to fill into other peopleās desires. Unfortunately thatās what Overwatch has done to me, I have been a very varied player throughout the seasons but I just canāt anymore. Iāve gotten toxic because of how many times I had to fill and be told Iām bad at the heroes I DONāT EVEN PLAY.
So now I play healer if I want to play healer, tank if I want to tank, and DPS if I want to DPS.
Day before itās available in competitive, get a professional overwatch team to describe her as what kind of role she plays. This can be scripted or their honest opinion, as long as itās consistent.
Wait for every overwatch ānewsā youtube channel to echo it

Everyone reaches harmony of the Pro gospel and Brigette is played with some resemblance of how you envisioned her.
theyāll learn like how they learned all you have to do to handle a sombra hack is to turn around and primary until sheās scared away; they totally wonāt take to the forums, and will completely adapt.
No, they wonāt. They will cry for nerfs and Brigitte will get them because they would rather ask for nerfs than learn to adjust. Case in point: Sombra, Ana, (release state) DVA, for starters.
Just recently I had an amazing match as Brigitte on Hanamura Defence. We had no tanks so I had to play the role of mini-tank, and it worked out better than expected. I think I only died once, with a 13 hero killstreak on the first life and a 10 hero killstreak on the second.
That was when I found out for sure that Brigitte works surprisingly well as a mini-tank.
