Making a character useful in high ranks but useless in lower ranks does not count as balanced. Please try again.

And she can do that just fine, better than most supports.
Sadly those stats canât be separated by time and ranks. I wouldnât look too much into them.
If she was completely useless and easy to kill at low ranks she wouldnât keep a good winrate, even with a low pickrate. Moiraâs existense makes her mostly useless, not her âsquishynessâ. If you nerf Moira, suddenly you have a lot more choices in lower ranks (and others too).
Which they have already done and her pickrate hasnât gone up all that much. And keep in mind there arenât a lot of supports so having a low pickrate out of of 7 heroes is a BAD sign.

This has not been my experience. If I get caught in the backline it requires IMMEDIATE attention or Iâm toast. And not like âhey guys I got dived , plz assistâ. just âHALP!â and if nobody instantly turns and drops stuns or a heal Iâm dead. This is a death sentence in midrange play.
The best I can do is delay the inevitable but unless it happens to be someone with low damage, I am usually 1, 2, dead.
She is disparate in her limitations VS her effectiveness.
Can we not bring Moira into this? Brigitte is just sad compared to almost every other support. What does she do that no other support canât do better?

Stopping ults and assisting dive heroes with armor packs just before they go out of LOS.
But regardless, Iâd like to see her self-inspire last 10 seconds while the regular team inspire is still 6, so she has a little out-of-combat healing. Itâs like 44 health. Wonât break the hero.
What? Because they donât fit your narrative?

So⌠she has a stun, and a ranged boop that might help⌠but her being close enough to stop an ult will usually result in her death. ⌠Maybe? Generally when Iâve played her being anywhere near the frontline has been a bad idea.
Countering DVA bombs is something I didnât think of⌠but those are kinda a rarity too since DVAâs ⌠poopy.
The delayed healing is nice, but Iâd rather have Ana supporting me at range than losing sight of me and hoping I can survive to get back⌠maybe I just donât have any faith in divers at my level or myself.

Sheâs actually really good against Reaperâs ult. He tries to drop in, boop. He tries to teleport and ult in the middle of your team, stun. Reapers usually have a bad time trying to be sneaky with their ult if Iâm Brig. In a big brawl on point, if you can predict Reinâs shatter, go for it. Iâve done it. Also have a highlight where I perfectly predict Reinâs shatter after Zaryaâs teammate bubble only to get bubble blocked by Zaryaâs self bubble with her running in front of Rein⌠that was the big turning point why we lost that whole match lol otherwise I wouldâve won that for my team. Iâve stopped Meiâs ult, Iâve stopped Sigmaâs ult, multiple times, thatâs a pretty big one. Roadhogâs ult can be pretty easy to stop too.
⌠I donât understand how youâre getting close enough to do these things. I donât get stupid reapers dropping on top of me and Being near Mei, Sigma or Roadhog is a bad ideaâŚ
but hey⌠both are anecdotal.
Her whole kit was based on her being close to the enemy. But some players at the higher ranks can go close only because of the double shield meta. If the meta changes and there wonât be as much barrier as right now, then her shield will break in 1,5 sec thank to 2 shots from Widow and sheâll be left there without protection, CC, mobility⌠Trust me when the meta will change the devs will realize that she needs a buff.
They could be 20m away and it doesnât matter, theyâre still wasting their ult if they drop.
Highly situational still. If you have a clear shot you might be able to boop them out of range but what if thatâs worse? What can you do from 20m?
I think her repair backs healing portion should have burst at the start then healing over time for the rest of it? It canât feel really really useless in a team fight when a teammate is at 10HP. They just die haha.

No. Her shield is the equivalent of another hero.
Other heroes only have 200 and nothing to protect themselves with.

⌠what a weird non-sequitur reasoning.
Other heroes are different so no.
I agree. Give her more shield HP please!

She still is (almost) the same 1v1 machine as ever.
But thanks to the low shield health she can not get into 1v1 that easy anymore.
And as this game has no counters to melee attacks, there is no really way to balance this.
shield can remain 200hp if u can mess other ppl aim with your m1 like shakin their camera, adding little cc somthin like that
deal?
Most other heroes have movement abilites that make them difficult to kill or abilites that reduce damage. Brig may have a 200 hp shield but it doesnât keep her alive at all.

Shield tanks are all the rage this meta and her M1âs range is very forgiving.
If youâre still finding it hard to stay alive then I suggest switching to another support.
