Her latest nerfs has made her straight up unviable. Her healing is a lot lower, and she’s an absolute push over.
Brigitte should either be:
A strong healer, but vulnerable.
A weak healer, but sturdy.
But currently, she is:
A weak healer and vulnerable.
My suggestion here is:
Increase base white health back to 200.
Reduce repair pack healing to 50/s.
This will mean:
She keeps the 15hps self heal.
She has the old 250 total health.
She has a lower healing output.
She can be that sturdy frontline healer that’s hard to deal with but doesn’t have massive healing potential like she did pre-patch.
This is a much healthier direction to push her in, instead of the “heal bot” play style we’re forced to play in the back lines because she’s too vulnerable.
They just need to give her back her HP and reduce the range of repair pack since that was the Dev’s complaint with her. “Repair pack has so much range she should have less hp and just stay in the backline”
At least if they wont return her hp they should slim down her model to fit the 200hp heroes
Their logic is really bizarre. If she “plays in the back lines”, what’s the point of the health nerf then? Surely it wouldn’t matter if she’s not taking much damage in the first place? Surely it would make more sense to nerf repair pack?
I heavily disagree. Brig is situationally wonderful. She’s still fantastic at countering dive. Still does great healing when she’s got people around her. The Meta currently does not favor brig. The lack of shields, the presence of roadhog and the high viability of ranged DPS contribute to her being an option, and not a guarantee.
Brig is good, just like moira. They’re simply options instead of required.
I have and there’s no real proof that she was overnerfed since we have only had one meta since he most recent nerfs and this meta so happens to be one she isn’t meant to be good in.
Once upon a time, tracer had 200 hp. She was broken. They reduced her HP by 50 and she became more balanced. Everyone lived happily ever after even tracer mains! Tracer is more mobile, has long ranged damage with minimal fall off. 50 HP to tracer is like chump change. Brig, on the other hand has to be up close to people to do anything, which you really can’t anymore.
50 hp can destroy a lot of value in a hero, so I don’t think you know where you’re posting or what you’re talking about because clearly you don’t know about OW’s history.

Yes, and from what I can tell she’s more situational now. If the enemy runs Dive I do just fine, but it’s generally more difficult to do much against the current meta since she isn’t supposed to be good in it
She should actually be great in this meta. Before she was overnerfed she was a great counter to Hog. She can deny hook kills for days and now that shields have been nerfed, her shield acting as a hook deterrent for herself should be an assest.
Perhaps not meta due to snipers but she should be solidly B-tier.
