#BuffBrig :muscle:t3:

General Discussion

Ever since her little rework for 2/2/2, she’s been completely cancelled from the meta and so they may as well remove her from competitive play. Statistically, if you check overbuff, it’s not looking too hot :grimacing: - yiiikes!

So now it’s time to fix that! It’s 2019 and we have seen all of Brig, too OP, good position, then nerfed into oblivion!

Fun fact: Brig has 1/3 of the shield HP she had at release, a less forgiving shield bash cone, 50% self-heal (the only thing that allowed her to be played aggressively was her 100% inspire self heal), and an ult that was nerfed 5 times along with armor calculation itself (specifically to nerf brig)

We should see her rising from the ashes around November if everything goes right :slight_smile:

Edit: Also, give her more muscle on her model, so after you buff brig, brig is buff.

Optimism about a brig buff on forums?!?

Even though I agree with you, you’re not gonna get a lot of support on this one

I think what they need to do is revert the self-heal nerf
that’s one of the main reasons she can’t stay alive IMO

her shield doesn’t need a buff IMO

Rally…
they should buff it so Rally armour acts like armour pre-nerf
just so it justifies the long charge time
if not then just revert the ult charge nerf

I 100 percent agree with you. I want my dominating Brig back! She might as well be bound up in a gimp suit. :disappointed_relieved:

I’m just in a wait-and-see mindset with her. I think there’s some chance that she’ll need minor tweaks, but people certainly seem to be vocally underestimating her power level. It’s understandable, to an extent, since everyone who frequently played her before will need to reacquaint with mortality. I mostly avoided playing her before the rework, so I’m just looking at her current state instead of comparing it to her old.

The current meta being a ranged poke war should logically be her worst case scenario, yet my own experiences haven’t shown any indication that she’s significantly underpowered in this meta, nor do her win rates at any level but the top appear to be poor by any means.

I hated her before this “rework” i love her now. I think she needs a little bit of survavibility buffed for example 100hp more shield health or her self healing buffed plus her medkits arekinda underwhelming

She really needs some survivability back.

I’m not usually in agreement with some of your posts, but this one I definitely agree with and support. #BuffBrig. She needs them.

If she had her super jump back that would be cool. She can’t just go in and win 1v1s easily anymore anyway.

I’m more for the devs actually knowing what they want from her before any hamfisted attempts at balancing her

Ohno, Brig can’t 1v6 anymore, what’re we gonna doooooo :roll_eyes: She’s a healer, she needa act/play like it. DPS healers get greedy and the rest of the team suffers 9/10 times. NO, she does not need a buff, she is already buff.

No one said anything about this.

I prefer my healers to have healing readily available and not tied to hitting enemies and long cooldowns myself. Thx

That’s kind of hot, not going to lie.

I do hope she is buffed. She was the only support that stood a chance when dealing with cancer flanker/dive tank meta. And no depending on 5 other people to play the game is not good game balance.

Really would like to see SB and Rally nerfs reverted

15

If you let a brig 1v6 you then that Brig is the least of your problems…

First she wasn’t a full a healer…

She was more like a paladin in a sense she was able to support her team in the front lines or peel while throwing out repair packs.

As for the post all they have to do is increase her shield HP and increase bash damage and she will be perfect.

I’m with you, I love Brigitte, but these changes that they gave her are atrocious, I want my Brig back!

Yes, I love the way she’s toned in her sprays, but she looks nothing like that in her in-game model.

Don’t tell me to swap off Widow,

She needs to get her tanking abilities returned she is a hybrid hero a support tank not pure support

18

Yeah with the passive self healing nerf her shield should’ve stayed at 500 imo

19

She is an anti flanker hero that has no mobility, and almost no sustain. She needs a buff to keep DF in check for example:

  • Shield Bash CD to 5
  • Shield Bash Damage increased to 30
  • Shield Hp increased to 400.
  • Self healing from inspired restored.

Done.
