Because of this ability Brigitte is becoming more annoying than Mei ever was.
It does 50 DMG, it has huge hitbox, it stuns you for 1 sec., it has 6m range and very short cooldown of just 5 sec. It’s just TOO MUCH. The fact that she can completely shut down many Ultimates in the game makes it even more OP and annoying.
I am not saying that she is OP, she is far from that. Especially her healing. But this ability… it needs to be nerfed. Many Brigitte fans will probably disagree but Brigitte feels broken because of this and she can win most of 1v1 fights.
Support hero should NOT be able to delete 150-200h heroes in one sec., it’s just too much no matter what Brigitte fans say.
Also with 8 sec. cooldown… i was being generous, 9 or 10 sec. cooldown would be more realistic and better option.
No, Xolarix is asking, “what are you doing ulting within 6m of Brigitte?”
The core complaints regarding Brigitte’s stun usually tend to encourage one to ask “why are people constantly standing within 6m of this girl?” Seriously, if she’s catching you, Reinhardt must be so BEAST people legit suffer from PTSD induced amnesia to forget the absolute mauling they must have suffered. If he isn’t OP, she isn’t OP.
That said, if anything were to change, I’d prefer if she just lost the stun as opposed to increasing the cool down on bash. It’s a nice short distance gap closer, and should be a priority for a severely range limited hero.
Sometimes I feel like people forget that 2CP, KOTH and basically objectives exist in the game which pretty much make you fight in specific places.
Like honestly, you have to contest the point or the payload, how can you avoid fighting Brigitte in close range ? She can close the distance with shield bash since it has 5 seconds cooldown while fights last longer than that.
Not only does it have to be much longer, it needs to have a MUCH SMALLER HIT BOX. Right now the Hitbox is literally the size of an ulting winston. Makes absolutely no sense.
Exactly! I can’t believe that some ppl are serious with questions like: “What are you doing close to her?” Like… are we playing the same game? Or it’s just an excuse coming from Brigitte fans.
I love to play Brigette and agree with most of your post, but this.
She does feel a bit overwhelming at the moment, but she don’t need HUGE nerfs. Just a little balance.
8 sec cooldown bash would require the rest of her kit to be buffed, as all of her damage potential is tied up in landing that stun to enable her combo.
So an 8 sec cooldown with no compensation is basically a massive nerf that would dump her in F tier.
difference between rein and brig is I ult in reins face he shield the damage and I chip away at shield. It is a give and take with him. With brig, she just stops most ults.
That being said this is the problem with cc. People are tired of being stunned, froze, slept, or hacked every few sec. It is not that cc is a horrid thing, but your forgetting the response to Mei before she was nerfed. CC just gets old quick and the game seems to be shifting to a very cc type focus at the moment. Can you really blame people for complaining about it? Even the Dev team (along time ago) said that they didn’t like abilities that made players lose control. It is going to be a bumpy road, one we have been down before with Mei.
I completely agree with you. The shield definitely needs to be toned down, but Brigitte’s kit needs more support/tanking potential. Right now she’s stuck between anti-flank, off-tank and off-support.
Her healing is the worst currently. If they nerf her CC then she needs buff for to her healing otherwise she becomes Ana tier. Removing Stun from shield bash is the worst idea ever. Tracer will roam free without any hard counters.
Or they could simply change the way it affects tanks like Reinhardt. There is legit no reason for her to be able to stun him while he is holding the shield or when he is charging. He is awful to play as when there is no Brigitte in the team to support him and by NO MEANS a hero should be depending heavily on another to be viable.
