This is such bad sentence structure… not to mention there are dozens of posts that go into great detail about how anti-tank Brig is. I believe those posts are correct. Your comment about being close to her is moot anyway due to her ability to close distances and attack.
And if you don’t believe me…
Solid evidence from Blizz right there.
Next.
That’s a new excuse. Not believing it.
You completely main’d her for a season. 10 hours as her vs your next most used character, which only has 3. I love when people try to explain away their over abundance of their use of Brig in competitive mode.
Because you don’t have a point. But if I absolutely must…
That one ability is more than just CC. The ability also simultaneously shields her from damage and deals 50 damage at the same time. My suggestion is to either increase the CD (which they thankfully did twice since her release) or take away the stun, which is an incredibly powerful ability all on it’s own.
Heck, McCree’s stun does half the damage, lasts .7 seconds as opposed to Brig’s 1 full second, is 5 meters in range instead of 6, has a longer cooldown by 3 seconds, doesn’t shield him from damage at all while he closes distance, and he does absolutely fine with it.
These will do nothing for one second stuns. If we were talking about Mei’s freeze or being hacked, you might have a point. We’re talking about stuns here, since that’s Brig’s ability.
You just said not to nerf CC directly, then went on to say the exact opposite here.
That would only come through new characters, which wouldn’t help old ones, or would involve character reworks, which could unbalance characters who already do well. Why rework a bunch of people to fix one person with one ridiculous ability?
Or… you can do like I said (and again, what Blizz did twice) and increase the CD so she’s not shutting down abilities left and right.
Also… as an added bonus, you can reduce her shield HP (which Blizz is doing now) so it’s easier to get rid of the pesky ability in the first place. There’s a great idea!
Now let’s take a look at your recent post again.
Nope. The point of flank DPS is not to stay back.
Wow, rude much? I believe most people complained about Hook 1.0, where they were getting hooked through walls and around corners.
Also, complaining about abilities doesn’t mean that the complainers are wrong. I made this original post way back in April, and it turns out Blizz agrees she needed (and still needs) nerfs to that particular ability. The people who complained about Hog’s original Hook were also right, because you shouldn’t be able to get hooked through walls, through floors, and around corners.
People want balance so the game feels more fair. Thus, complaints. No, not all of those complaints are valid. But I’m glad to see that the developers at Blizz agreed that Hog’s old Hook needed a rework, and Brigs Bash needed appropriate nerfing.
At the end of the day, my original post from months ago turned out to be right. Brig got nerfs since, and she’s getting more soon.
You are fighting a lost battle.
