"Brigitte's kit is fighting itself"

@GaiaFirebird-1840

LOL, grabbing some random GM profile to try to prove something.

Alright, add me on that account, if you really care that much to be proven wrong.

I’d gladly log on forums from that account but it’s banned.

[GaiaFirebird-1840]

Sure thing. I’m sure it’d be worth a laugh.

Oh, it’s “banned.” My “real GM account is banned but it’s real for real, yo!” I mean, you don’t exactly inspire confidence…

[Pacifist-21712]

I’m still waiting for you to accept the friend request, unless you don’t want to be called out for spouting out nonsense.

Not responding to this will only prove my point you have no idea what you’re talking about and are only hiding behind your own entitlement.

[GaiaFirebird-1840]

Once one actually shows up, I might give you a chance to “prove” your claims.

I’m not too worried about that. Your posts pretty consistently demonstrate a high level of lack of recognition, let’s say, about the intricacies of skill and gameplay.

[Pacifist-21712]

Okay, honey. Keep on dreaming.

At this point it’s pretty obvious you’re trolling. But I’m bored so I’m willing to continue destroying you.

Oh look, you don’t even play competitive but you talk balance

I will happily keep bumping OP’s post, as it raises a discussion on Brigitte’s new and very different playstyle from the old one.

[GaiaFirebird-1840]

You’ve got nothing on balance, bro. You wouldn’t know whether I played competitive or not, either way, and I like to keep it that way, mostly 'cause it bothers people like you. But just going based on your statements alone, it’s not like you have anything accurate to say about game balance or the state thereof.

This has been a pretty consistent pattern. Literally everything you say has been proven wrong by numbers over and over, and is suspiciously like the stuff bad QM players always spout. If it looks like a duck…

[Pacifist-21712]

I don’t take any opinions on my person from you as valid, because you’re a self-centered troll.

Keep bumping. This thread needs it. Not bothered by the way

[GaiaFirebird-1840]

You sure seem to be. I’m fine with the thread being bumped as the very headline itself actually works opposite to what you want it to do.

The low-skill player who regurgitates low-skill “truths” calls others trolls. That’s rich.

[Pacifist-21712]

Do you know what’s even richer?

Crying about Brigitte’s shield nerf.

Devs: Please reconsider the Brigitte shield nerf

Having played a lot of Brig both on live and on the PTR now, I must say that these changes are a huge mistake. Even then, the inability to burst heal or the halved self-healing are both manageable. It’s the shield nerfs that hurt the most. Let’s take a look at things, shall we? • Range: Brigitte operates at close range. The majority of her healing, from Inspire, procs by inflicting melee damage. Just hitting shields doesn’t count. To do this, she needs to be able to survive. Currently on live, …

@FFirebrandd-1844

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:

@aieeegrunt-1422

There is no reason to pick her over Lucio who literally does everything she does better except long range heals with those armor packs, and cancelling the ults of people dumb enough to ult right in front of you.

Or because you like the way the character plays

Lucio’s AOE healing does not require proc and can be boosted with amp it up.

Lucio’s sustain is laughably better

Lucio’s utility can be amazing with speed boost

Lucio had better base mobility, AND wall ride, AND speed boost.

Lucio can actually contest a point better using all of the above

Brig has very little reason to exist

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

We dont just play kits because they are more efficient, and FWIW I and others often outdo Lucio, but there is no question his kit is overloaded.

[GaiaFirebird-1840]

Hmm, no? It was legit. And honestly is still her biggest issue. Almost all of her utility is gone in favor of being just a healer now, but I liked her when she had less healing but more utility.

[BluFrestLeaf-1688]

I think its fine though because Tracers will have regular squishy HP

[ccarlo-1692]

@Zence-1613

She is a melee character that does not perform in melee range.

It would be like giving Pharah a cannon that deals 200 dps but falls off at 5 meters.

it’s funny you picked pharah as an analogy. the flying hero who can’t fly and fire from the skies freely without a mercy pocket.

brig is the same. great hero who if played with a fellow brawler, like rein, will excel. just stay next to or behind you rein and brawl on. if you are running brig without a brawl comp OR are playiny against a comp running too much high burst damage for your team to deal with then swap.

people will play a hero out of position or against counter comps and complain that the hero is bad. player bad

[Zence-1613]

You go along with the Pharah analogy to blame the player for not playing Brig with a certain hero…

…but like, Pharah is trash without mercy. So what kind of comparison was that supposed to be?

@KuroNeko-2483

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.

That’s fair. Doesn’t bother me, but I get it.

[Provisional-11341]

I think Brig would be perfect if they nerfed the flail damage, increased it’s range, and buffed the inspire healing. Then she would be able to keep her inspire up without walking around being scared of dying just trying to get inspire going.

@SilverBlitz-11637

What does this even mean?

(Front line) ← Brig needs to stay here to even survive. She has no independence. She has to be her tank’s backpacks basically

(Middle line) DPS doing dps stuff here. While Brig is traveling back and forth from front/backline, she is using the game’s worst mobility skill to do so, which becomes unavailable if hit with 2 shots/1 sec from most dps. Also she walks SLOWER than Rein when shield is held up

(Backline) <— Brig needs to help cohealer when flankers dive them, that’s literally why she was created. Most of her kit now doesn’t reach the middle and front lines from here

I hope this diagram helps Non-Brig players to understand why her kit fights with itself. She has a close range melee kit. She is required to go back and forth between front and back line, but she has no mobility or shield HP to reposition like that.

Yep.

Also, that’s what the 30m burst heal repair pack was supposed to cover. If she ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, she could use that to cover her ally while she walked herself over to get in range with everything else.

But armor pack it isn’t an instant burst heal anymore so… yeah… things fall apart.

This is not the case. You can do it if you have Rein, but she survives just fine at midline.

[ccarlo-1692]

you claimed that brig doesn’t preform well in melee range. she does, just run a comp where your team fights together

and hey, you are the one who brought up the bad pharah analogy
