She is so useless in OW2, I used to play her quite a bit in 1st game, the only healer that was fun to play, now 2 Junkrat balls wipes me out, She has no health and no shield. Can’t play Her as offensive because she’s melee, can’t defend because she has 200 Health and 250 Shield , Can’t heal either because it take ages to ‘recharge’ those 3 healing moves.

REWORK! I think she needs a CC tool. If anyone should be able to stun people its her. let her flail launcher just stun opponents instead of the knock back. The knock back is already outclassed by lucio, and lucio is slipper, has excellent heals, mobility, and has a game changing ultimate.
Brigitte should be able to stun characters like Phara out of the sky and immobilize divers to protect the main healers. Her purpose is to safeguard characters and she gets punished for playing her role.

Shield Bash???
I’ve found her to do well in some matches, It’s pretty situational.
I agree that she might need a small rework, to at least test to see what could work better.
Rework, yes, CC, no.

Removing her shield bash stun was a super stupid thing for Blizz to do. She really needs it back

Diagnosis: skill issue. You just don’t know how to play her. She is great in OW2 because she actually has lots of survivability, actually has lots of healing and is a anti-flanker.
You are probably trying to pull a Reinhardt and either keep standing in the open with your shield up or keep frontlining. Also, most of her healing comes from passive uptime. Healing packs are to used selectively.

She’s objectively bad

She needs a slight rework. When you have the game structured with one less player, her healing is alot less distributed. Granted when you play in a 5 stack and are coordinated, its easier protect and heal while on coms. The problem I see is that she is the backrow guardian in this game, while also taking a support slot. I really think her purpose is to prevent back row divers from getting in too easily. Without a stun in her kit, and being totally melee, you find yourself in these awkward situations where your getting shot at but you cant retaliate, and you need to focus on protecting the squishy teammates. Even a .5 second stun is good enough, it allows your supports or dps getting flanked a opportunity to at least realize whats happening.
Yes, CC; all these mobility based heroes wouldn’t be so ridiculous and overbearing if it was back in the game.
Is CC annoying? Yes. Does a game like Overwatch need it? Yes.
No, brig is fantastic

She’s super hard to kill, pumps out healing, wards off flankers while enabling your own. She’s still really good…sounds like user error.

I think we had a thread about this yesterday. She is completely fine, but will likely get a new ult for S2. To play Brig you have to know a lot of things despite seeming like a noob character. One quote of the other thread that I liked was:
“Brig is good, but 99% of the people have no idea what to do with her.”
She does not need a rework, and is also far from useless if you take the time and learn what to do with her.

She deserves a better weapon and a better shield
Junkrat was very annoying to play against in OW1 when you are play Brigitte. And he was barely changed in OW2.
I find Brigitte pretty strong now, outside of her ult, losing armor really made Rally weaker.

Considering she’s a hard-baked melee character with exactly one ranged attack she should probably hit a bit harder than 5 damage over what most player’s back up melee attack does.
Her shield should operate closer to a buckler than a low-rent Reinhardt shield, meaning it has no movement speed penalty, too. That’s about it. Closing in with a Brig deliberately should feel like standing still in LOS with a Zenyata.
Briggite is weak IMO, more than any other heal.
The only reason people would pick her is because they don’t need a good aim to defend themselve.
I don’t see anything that makes her worth to be chosed over any other heal right now.

I do think she needs a small rework where it’s just changing numbers around in her main kit and Give her a new ultimate
Support, not this “Heal” you speak of
