This thread is meant for trolling, right ? It can’t be serious. How come someone can hate a hero so much on a game ?
Still not sure if it’s a troll or not but I’ll flag just in case.

Trolling how?
Tell me making barriers block all melee isn’t a huge buff to Brigitte.
“This one melee attack is clearly allowed to be stopped from going through shields, but GOD FORBID you treat melee attacks from DPS in the SAME MANNER you FILTHY SCUMBAG”
that’s what your post says
Melee attacks are not Brigitte’s biggest counter.
So, maybe you’re crying bc you don’t like the idea of DPS being treated the same way that Brigitte gets treated.

Hi, I’m a Reinhardt main.
I want that to happen despite knowing it won’t any-time-soon.
——
It’s not a super buff to Brigitte because, with that buff, Rein becomes viable.
Brigitte can’t 1v1 a Rein.
She needs SOME external advantage
—
“But then Brig becomes unstoppable”, yeah no…
Here’s how this works.
If it blocks melee abilities, you can still use melee ATTACKS.
If you can’t use that either, then it becomes “whatever barrier dies faster”.
Brig’s shield is by no means comparable to Rein’s, or Winston’s for that matter, or Orisa’s.

This is more of a buff to Reinhardt, Winston, and Orisa- then it is to Brigitte.
Yes it’s a buff to her, but the yanks benefit MUCH more- and Sym’s ult becomes usable.

I can’t believe brig is giving yall so much pain. It barely affects me and my matches…
Imo the shield bash nerf was not necessary. She had plenty of counters ,and with the recent reworks and heroes she has even more.
But whatever, guess no more easy shatters for rein.
( 0 minutes play time on brig btw,I don’t play her ,too boring )

oh boy the singling out of a group returns…
That’s very well pointed out. How can I have been so blind.
How can you prove most of them are one tricks with private profile begin a thing.
So you doomfist in f tier than. Doomfist is annoying but no hero should be gutted.
As a Reinhardt main I find it weird that Brigitte can’t use CC that moves her whole character into melee range against shields, but Doomfist that has CC that works in a similar way should still be able to use it.
I have no problems with melee attacks or dashes such as Genji’s going through barriers, but why should one type of CC that requires you to move your whole character into melee range work and other similar CC don’t?
Sure it’s annoying being stunned as Reinhardt by Brigitte, but it’s even less fun being thrown around like a ragdoll by Doomfist.

Since her own attacks are melee as well?
Go play Rein for a few matches then come to talk about “unique” Orisa is not a CC sponge. The only reason he is the go-to tank is because he has a shield and can actually minimize the CC hell he has to go through. If you watch a few Winston clips you’d see how stupid it is to play as tank in this game.
Erm, that’s not a brigitte Buff, but mostly a huge Reinhard-Buff or any tank that can project a shield somehow. Brigitte with her small shield benefits the least from this honestly…?

Imo from my time on brig and doom, rocket punch is far more effective than brigs shield bash combo. Its one skill can one shot. Its just as easy to land as shield bash. If we nerfing brig cause its easy to be effective with shield bash and it goes threw barriers imo doom deserves the same treatment.
Ratchet hoe punch (pun intended) imo is worse than shield bash you can no charge use it as well and still get decent dmg and a stun. It takes the same amount of skill to use it. Yes its mostly used for mobility. If i can walk in a qp match never played doom and my life and get 23 kills on doom just using rocket punch something is wrong. Wish i would of screenshoted that card for 23 rocket punch kills.
Anyways yeah it dont need to go threw barriers either.

This post is sad trying to blame everything on Brig. Just wow.
Btw can Hammond have his shields… act like a barrier?
Please? He needs something I beg of you!
The change Blizzard are trying to do to Brigitte is a massive mistake. If any hero gets stunned while they have their barrier up, their barrier should remain up and they still receive the stun.
What if Brigette had a cast time for her bash?
Why should rocket punch be able to go through shields if shield bash cant? Doomfist: martial arts master, a lifetime of combat experience, is very strong on his own, has cybernetic enhancements elevating his strength to super human levels, on top of all of that he has a special gauntlet that could knock down a building in a single punch or send Reinhardt (a guy that probably weighs 250+ pounds and his power armor which probably weighs around 1000 pounds) flying with ease. Brigitte: some kid that thought it would be cool to fight stuff, uses shield bash by jumping a few feet in front of her and trying to hit someone in the face with her shield usually doing little more than pissing them off.
Yes to shield bash being blocked, NO to everything else.
Why is this formed like some kind of political ad?
Reasonable people recognize, that while Brig needs some adjustments, breaking the consistency with how melee-type abilities interact with barriers could be a problem. Maybe it’s not a big enough problem to forgo this nerf, but we’ll see.
You’ve taken the least charitable interpretation of that concern, and pushed it a step further. I’m personally hesitant on this change, but I certainly don’t want Brig nerfs.
Your entire framing (and recent post history) is hilarious.
Don’t get me wrong, she needs changes, and maybe this is the right one, but maybe it isn’t. That said people pretending like she’s utterly OP outside of GOATS are either bad, or refuse to swap to counter.
Where majority of players play (silver to low-plat), go Pharah. You might need a Mercy depending on the other team’s comp (or the enemy hitscan’s aim).
Agreed that GOATS is a problem though, but for the playerbase it’s a problem just like dive was, and just like whatever we called the meta before that. GOATS is unique because it removes an entire role from the game, and because it’s the most boring to watch.
