"Brigitte's kit is fighting itself"

Well yeah she’s not as effective in doing that as the other two, but you have Whip Shot and Repair Pack as means of keeping your allies alive while you rush to them.

Imagine thinking that having perma 50 armor simultaneously on 3 teammates isn’t powerful

You just proved my point, you didn’t adjust to the re-balancing.

Except it isn’t permanent? It degrades over time and the charges have a cooldown.

Yea I’m exaggerating sorry

I didn’t prove your point. I claimed that there is zero reason to pick Brigitte anymore, so why bother?

Can she heal more now? Sure. But if I was after raw heals, why not pick Moira? Moira’s general healing isn’t strictly tied to hitting somebody like Brigitte’s is and Moira’s CD heal is significantly better in pretty every measurement. The one thing Brigitte still had going for her was her overhealing (which I never really valued) but that’s getting (got? Idk if that’s live yet) nerfed too.

No offense, but just because you can’t do well with the character doesn’t make it bad. Maybe you can follow Violet’s example? If you don’t get the value of over-armor, and why its a big deal then I think you don’t really understand the game very well. I am not saying that to be mean, its just an honest assessment.

What point of “The things I liked about Brigitte are gone.” is so hard for you to understand?

This has absolutely nothing to do with Violet and how she plays Brigitte or how good or not good her over armor is or anything having to do with my understanding of the game. I personally have zero reason to pick Brigitte.

And seeing posts like this one:

tells me that I’m hardly alone in that view.

Mercy, bap, lucio, moira, ana

That’s an interesting idea. Someone had previously suggested shields break so that, but I didn’t like that because I thought it rewarded poor play.

She never was “braindead” except in low-skill games, soooooo…

She was braindead from release to rework.

Nah. Only in very low-skill environments. For a long time after her nerfs from release, she was no different than she is now.

I dislike whipshot being a major source of inspire procs.

It’s a boop. You always want inspire up but you don’t always want to boop something away. That’s the one thing that really annoys me about Brig.

Wrong.

She was completely different from today’s Brig after the nerfs especially. She went from a one-man team brawler to an actual support. Her playstyle changed completely.

She was never a one-man team brawler and always was an actual support, except in the lowest-skill environments.

Weird. I was always asked to play her in GM because of the high sustain (her own + team sustain)

The high sustain was the main reason she was meta.

  1. High sustain and low damage still doesn’t make her a one-man team brawler. You weren’t playing in GM if you could 1vX people reliably.

  2. Playing in “GM.” Sure. We’ve been down this road before.

Someone has already forgotten how OP Brigitte actually was…

I remember Brig just fine. She hasn’t been release Brig for a while now. She was in a fine spot right before the rework.

LOL, grabbing some random GM profile to try to prove something. Not hearing it, man. The only thing it would prove even if it was you is that it’s really possible to just be carried into higher ranks.
