I got them from videos on YouTube. I haven’t seen D.va’s patch notes yet. But I do know her DM is now 3 or 4 seconds. There’s probably more tho

Her current inspire hps already is 15, so that one seems to be wrong
Maybe you meant they lowered it even more?

It grants overhealth?

That’s interesting.

Every ability that would give your character more health is now all just “Overhealth”. Sigma’s Grasp, Wrecking Ball’s Shields, Torb’s Overload, Brig’s Rally, Doomfist’s Passive and Lucio’s Sound Barrier…. It’s all “Overhealth” in OW2. No shields or armor

So they got rid of most of her utility, nerfed her healing, buffed ONE ability to make up for the utility loss, and didn’t touch her health, at all?

If she was barely played below GM before, not sure why any of this would make folks want to pick her up now…

So Brigitte is now a DPS?

I think they should make her a body guard, combining both her Tank and Support aspects. What if she could rush around with Shield Bash and had more base health and a stronger shield. Since she is a melee character, I think she should lose Whip Shot and Shield Bash should be her new burst damage ability. Maybe it could even have slight knockback, like her current Whip Shot.

Brigitte sounds a lot healthier for the game overall and the increased range on Shield Bash intrigues me. I’d like to give this build of her a try sometime.

Yeah I agree. She’s going to need some other buffs. Especially Rally. Maybe they could make it give 150 HP now, like it used to? Oh and Lower the cost of Rally too please

I really hope this is not the final rework for Brig. Since she lost her stun and her armor giving ultimate. I hope she get a killing combo and be made more brawly.

Yeah her Ult not giving Armor anymore is going to be a huge blow to her power level

Well for reference, 2 Tracer Blinks is 15 meters, so Brig’s Bash is now a little more than 1.5 Blinks

Honestly, the rework doesn’t sound too bad to me.

I am a bit disappointed that her stun can’t really make big plays like it used to (replacing stun + 5 damage + flail with just the damage is still a net loss). Puts more pressure on those Whipshots.

But, I am very glad it’s been kept as a mobility tool. For a melee-inspired hero, getting in and out will be really important. And the cooldown buff will make her more reliable with it.

Overall, good change. Would have preferred no change, but I feel like Brig got off easy.

Did they ever show the Hero selection screen? Is she still in the Support Role?

I continue to find it terrifying of developers to continue to value Inspire when exactly the multitasking of this passive makes all of Brigitte’s other abilities unnecessary and nerfable. They are taking away all kinds of utilities launched by the player favoring a terribly automatic and … boring gameplay. to see and play.

I remain firm on my opinion that it must be Inspire to change, not everything else.
