I understand what Brigitte should be but her dmg rivals that of other dps heroes and it has such a big swing distance and effect. I understand that it is counterable with phara and so on but in close quarters you seriously need to respect a Brigitte more than a Genji, she has the potential to win every 1v1, as a tank/dps-healer hybrid she is perfect for this, I dont think she is OP in group play but she has to much potential for 1v1 because of her insane dmg output with nearly zero risk involved. She can put shield up, swing once and repeat this till you are down and you can do absolutly nothing but play Phara. I dont know if this is fair for Flanks, dps and other healer. That use skill to get other heros down, in comparison with a hero that uses nearly no skill to hit an other player.
Just my 2c but a thought worth discussing.

She has restricted range and low damage. Thereāa something called tanks in the game I think you should try one.

No. Just no.
She deals 30 damage per swing, and swings less than twice a second, so itās roughly 60 DPS. This is literally the least DPS in the game. She has ONE combo that requires TWO COOLDOWNS that can deal 150 damage, which is still not that much compared with DPS heroes.
Learn to play against her, sheās out for less than two weeks.

She is designed to deal with flankers and dive in general, deal with it. Only thing which concers me is her effectiveness against Reinhardt.

Lol. Itās 5 meters. Thatās the same range as Rein. And it does less damage per swing and per second than Rein.

but to counter this she has a stun, and a long range knockback as well as tons of sustain potential
You guys seem to not understand that there is a difference between zero skill damage and skill damage. Her damage is like Reins, zero skill because she needs to aim as much as him and compare this now to tracer, where her whole kit is designed to play aim heavy, do you think Brigitte deserves to kill a Tracer ājust becauseā you title them an āanti flankā ?
I like that she needs to use her full skillset for a tracer kill but still, to much dmg.
Play range against her and youāre golden unless she rallies.
Not really, she does nearly as much because her swing is so fast.
She can only kill brain dead Tracers that donāt realize they can shoot from outside Brigittes shield bash range. Sheās very effective at holding flankers at bay so they have a difficult time doing thier job, but she will only kill them if they are baddies.
Brigitteās job is to be near the front/protect the flanks, and she does that. Itās called a counter. If your pick isnāt working, switch to something else.
She does ~70 dps, Rein does ~75.

Numbers donāt like unlike people. Her swing speed is fast due to the low amount of damage per hit, but even then she STILL deals less DPS than someone like Winston whoās barrier is bigger, heās tankier and can potentially kill squishies faster than she can with Jump + Melee M1. But no the 250 HP support with measly damage is OP.

People always likes to over exaggerate to make things look more than it should
Thats what Im saying, 70 dps for a hero with such a sustainability and where you can outplay heroes that need skill so easily? Seems to me that Blizzard pushes the casual agenda and ignores the competetive scene again. Moira, Doomfist, Orisa and now Brigitte. All No aim heroes.
70 dps is among the lowest in the game m8. The only heros with lower DPS are Moira and single target Winston.
She does have some nice burst every so often tho.

What my suggestion is to lower her overall damage in all skills but let her use this skills more often, take more damage away but give them a effect like Reins hammer where she really pushes targets, more of other things and take her damage away. She will probably be OP when people really get to know her better.
I call it now, In a month time, people will cry on these forums like I do now.
I just see it now and how it will be.
Oh god, another one of those āno aim = no skillsā. Please stop.

learn to keep your distance from her, if you are a low hp hero.

Sheās a melee hero with a 600hp barrier than can be burst down. Outrange her.
If your close range Tracer canāt outmaneuver a good Brig, than flipping switch or let someone snipe her.
