These kinds of threads are always a problem of misunderstanding Brig’s role in the game. She’s meant to be a bodyguard, not another frontline tank. People have been complaining about how “weak” she is since ow2 dropped not realizing that they’re just playing her wrong.
There’s some great advice in this thread. I would highly recommend analyzing your gameplay and trying to implement some of it into what you’re doing. Brig is a bit more niche compared to other supports, but she’s far from underpowered. Good luck and keep swinging!
Brig is fine. Same with Moira and Lucio. It’s the other supports that need to be toned down. Support power creep is insane right now especially with the OW2 supports
She’s almost always useful. Sit in mid-backline and use whipshot. Every time enemy tank uses mobility cooldown or gets the advantage you whipshot. Every time someone is retreating and low you whipshot. She doesn’t need any buffs.
Honestly, whilst I don’t think she needs any buffs, I do think it would be nice if they made her shield deploy the same as reins (instant) not this version that is deployed on your screen but not on enemies screen.
Another bug or de-sync? Someone wrote that when you shield bash the hitbox doesn’t follow you so you have no shield (that is how I assumed they meant).
When I think about it. The shield is not as fast. And that is maybe I died so many times when I thought I was protected…
I agree with you, especially with this sombra buff. Bring back Brig stun on her smaller shield. Sombra’s virus out damages Bap’s self heals…she’s way too powerful and needs brig to counter her.
This guy complains not winning a 1v2 on a support with a shield. You support mains are beyond redemption at this point. Your role is babysat beyond measure and you are still crying.
Her shield deploy isn’t instant like reins. When its activated on your screen it isn’t on the enemies. It’s why you can have shield up and get hooked ‘through’ it
I just want her healing range back. They can have their garbage ult stun back. That thing is trash and not used much in a 10 second ult compared to the healing range we had all game. They did brig dirty since ow2 hit. She got punished for junker goats just like the last goats while junkerqueen got massively buffed. Blame brig and ana is the only way they know how to balance this game. Its getting old.
It wasn’t insignificant, now characters with 200 health die with a simple combo, swing, bash, swing and whip for exactly 200 damage. Not to mention that now you can use swing, swing, whip against tracer and Baby Dva and still have your bash to move around.
repair pack is actually better, but that’s not even its main function.
Inspire and protect others against flankers and Divers, Brig’s strongest weapon is AoE healing and preventing enemy diversion, Repair packs just completed a defect she had which was not having burst healing
Yes, it’s not for fighting (maybe with an ult) but rather it exists to protect enemy advances. If someone tries to do something, you stop they, but if you try to do something, the enemy kills you.
Search on YouTube for The ULTIMATE Brigitte Guide in OVERWATCH 2 you will find Samito and HolyShiftKid guide for her. Just remember that they talk a lot about Inspire but the most important thing for any support is to stay alive, so don’t put yourself in the wrong position to proc inspire.
But I’ll be honest, they could improve the shield animation, it’s not very fluid and a bit clumsy
