The biggest problem with Brig right now, and with Reaper and Roadhog, is that Brig is a semi-tank semi-healer with some close combat capability. Reaper has nothing but close combat capability. Based on this, you’d think Reaper would win, right? It’s literally the only thing he does. He must be the best at it, otherwise what’s the point?
Obviously, no. Brig eats Reaper for breakfast.
This just isn’t valid in terms of balance. Brig needs to lose to the dedicated close combat specialists because it’s literally all they have, and she has a bunch of other stuff. I don’t know how this could be fixed without adjusting her completely, but it’s a problem. Alternately, Reaper and Roadhog could be given other advantages/powers so they’re not useless in the face of Brig.
Sorry but Brigitte is pretty trash now. She only works in goats comp and that’s because it’s built around her.
No she doesn’t. Reaper’s life steal and wraith cancel allow him to win every time. Unless Reaper or Hog are at low health to start they should outright win. The 7s shield bash put Brigitte in the dumpster.
Not really. She’s a close range fighter herself built around sustain and a stun. Currently her sustain isn’t enough and her stun can be easily baited and punished.
What other stuff does she have? A burst heal on CD? Whip shot that’s unreliable at range? She has a shield but it can only really block damage from a target she’s directly looking at…
No, a support shouldn’t be able to 1v1 at all. Sure, a little self defense is fine for getting back to your team when you were in front of them for some dumb reason, but other than that, a support shouldn’t be able to kill a DPS.
Why not?
Brig has a lot of weaknesses. If she was just another free-kill support, she’d be entirely useless to the team. She’s a close-range specialist to an even greater extreme than Reaper. Her mission is to discourage flankers from rolling up teams from behind, a role that has been sorely needed and oft requested since release.
I really just think that they could add a few buffs to reapers shotguns and shadow step and he would be fine.
Hellfire Shotguns: Make it so the shotguns deal 35-50% more damage to armor
Shadow Step: Gives him CC immunity during the duration of the shadow step animation. OR make it so that if shadow step is interrupted, it will NOT go on cooldown.
You sound like the people a while back crying about Junkrat being able to one-shot them when the most he can do in one hit is 120 damage. This will not one-shot a single hero.
If Roadhog lands his hook, I die 90% of the time as Brigitte. And Reaper can win the Brigitte duel just fine if he baits the Shield Bash with Wraith. Brigitte is good at destroying mid/long range heroes at close range. Close range heroes like DVa, Roadhog, Zarya, Reaper and are pretty good against her (if they’re skilled enough)
idk what brigittes are doing if their constantly getting their shield baited by wf and not surviving long enough till its off cooldown its not hard if hes using his only escape for that then your team is just going to destroy him i assume this is in lower elos… meanwhile shes giving out armor stunning him and booping him away countering him while he does trash to all the armor she gives out
so at the very least if he actually did destroy her in a 1v1 shes busy countering him by making her team unkillable
If supports couldn’t fight and win against some DPS heroes, no one would want to play them. If they were a free kill, no one would want to play them. Supports belong with their team; some are stronger in the front, others in the back. If a DPS plays into the support’s strengths, why should the DPS get a free pass?
