She definitely needs a buff, I think a 300 hp shield plus maybe 50 permanent armor with jet ult would serve her well
I’m thinking they should actually balance around both. For example, Brig’s shield HP is crucial for lower ranks. It’s something that isn’t as important in the higher ranks because you have a lot more teamwork there. Balancing exclusively around the higher ranks is a nightmare for those in the lower ranks, but balancing exclusively around the lower ranks makes a hero too powerful in the higher ranks. Which is why a hero should primarily be balanced around the higher ranks but still have the tools necessary to do well in the lower ranks where there’s less teamwork.
Buffing inspire means very little to those in the lower ranks because teamwork is severely lacking and even when there is teamwork, there’s a lack of team synergy versus a team that has excellent synergy and the teamwork to back it up.

Her shield needs to last longer than 2 shots from most DPS (2 nades, 2 rockets, 2 widow shots, 2 ashe shots, 2 arrows, etc)

What do you mean RP?

What you’re saying makes sense, but they can’t buff Brigs shield all that much without making her a high output hero without requiring much effort in high ranks. It’s her 200hp shield that makes her skillful, but I wouldn’t be against it being 250.

I have been thinking this was possible, but now I am not sure she even needs it. The stronger that shield is the more she is apt to be abused again.
I think she needs more ways to self regen instead. Right now she is heavily relying on the 2nd healer to heal her. And she kinda need to activate inspire to give the healing output , which she need to close in the distance when fight began. If 2nd healer died, or 2nd healer is some dps healer or Zen that don’t put healing orb on you . then it is a sad experience playing Brig.
For some reason , there is 30- 40% chance the 2nd healer focus on healing other teammate but Brig. Maybe the healer thinks Brig can heal herself back just fine.

I would be fine with stronger self heal instead of a shield increase. I’m tired of Brig being made of glass.

Anyone else notice how often the word “literally” gets thrown around here? Sad thing is not all of them can actually be literal.
no. Give her more healing output. Not more self defense. Shes what ruined this game in the first place. Gave all the casuals the idea that were actually good with an overtuned hero now they ask for buffs bc they realize how inept they actually were
I personally think she should just be left alone.
A few days ago I shield bashed an ulting reaper but it got canceled mid bash because the shield broke and I ended up dying.
Honestly the shield health is ridiculous.

She was able to dominate because 500 shield HP was fairly high, and because the 16hp/s self-heal allowed her to attack, shield, attack, shield, rinse and repeat until the enemy is dead.
Agreed. I am doing a lot of Brig 2.0 lately, sometimes having to disprove of course that she is bad in the process. I wouldn’t mind having a 50 HP bump, but I think it has to be judged if this brings value to her as as healer? She is a Support, adjustments which start to take away or deviate from that role need to be carefully thought out. If anything I would let her self-healing be a bit longer possibly, but maybe 2 ticks.
I can’t heal when I’m dead. I try to play close to my team, but I still get run over
All I’m asking is to have a little more survivability in exchange for granting a little less armor.

What rank do you play Brig in and what platform? These make a tremendous difference.
Gold/Plat generally. Regardless, I routinely watch Violet, the principles are the same.
I agree. I play as Brig, and for an armored dame, she is damn squishy. Her self-healing is 10.8 per second - that’s even worst than Zenyatta’s normal orbe healing. One shot from Ashe or Roadhog, and her shield is almost done for. If she doesn’t have at least a Reinheardt and a Zarya with her AT ALL TIMES, she dies. She can’t handle anything anymore. I think they could at the very least up her self-healing to 20, like Moira. And stop that “nerf healers” spree, because when they die because they’re terrible, you people will be the ones to complain that your healers don’t heal you, and believe me, there’s nothing more irritating than hearing that you’re not healing when you’re doing your best, but keeps dying because your tanks and dps don’t understand the concept of “group together”.

Supports are only useful when they’re alive. Brig dies way too quickly these days, specially with incompetent tanks.
