She’s easy to kill. If she’s not in the front lines (and basically over extending) her inspire is useless, and her value is reduced greatly. She’s safer, but basically useless. On the other hand, if she is in the front trying to engage she’s far too easy to isolate and focus down.
This is why Brigitte is bad/situational against anything that isn’t dive. It’s always a lose–lose scenario for her. She’s either useless or dead.
You can’t base your view of how balanced a hero is in FFA.
But you can get lots of 1v1 interactions in FFA. That was the fúcking point, you idiot. They said you can 1v1 Brigitte, I told them to go try that out in FFA, where you get to 1v1 Brigitte a lot. Playing Soldier? Book it. McCree? That’s a crapshoot, you might kill her if a: you get flashbang and FTH off BEFORE she uses shieldbash and gets self heal or b: you stun her after shieldbash and get two consecutive headshots. Junkrat or Pharah may be able to whittle her down, or even Sombra if she sneaks up behind and hacks her, but outside of that, the odds aren’t in your favor.
And if your response to all this is “but teamwork” I swear to god…
the only reason you can hack her is because you can hack through shields with sombra right now it’s a known bug that needs to be fixed. hacking her is obviously a solution like hacking any other hero and completely shutting him down.
Oh right my bad. 2.5 clips for her shield. That’s not much more. Tracer’s damage falloff starts at 11 meters. That’s nearly double the range that Brigitte’s shield bash has. You can stay outside Brigitte’s range and still get the full amount of damage from Tracer’s guns. I have a hard time believing that you’re at 4150 as a Tracer one trick if you don’t even know where the falloff range begins for her.
As for Brigitte’s regen, she only heals 16 health per second for five seconds after hitting someone. If you can’t out-damage that, I don’t know what to tell you, because even with just body shots, Tracer does 240 damage in a second.
what im saying is that hacking her isn’t a solution to her it’s a solution to all heroes. it’s like saying just stun her well obviously but ill have to get into the stun range it’s a cc that works against ALL heroes not specifically her it’s not a counter it counters all heroes.
sombra is a flanker. she disables abilities. Shut brigitte down and have your team focus on her
Or use your flanker to distract her and remove her from the fight giving your team an advantage
Flankers aren’t always going for kills. if you can disorient or distract the enemy team from getting to the objective you are doing your job as a flanker
Sorry to burst your bubble but it actually is. People get so caught up in who kills who and the 1v1 that people tend to forget that in order to beat another hero, you dont necessarily HAVE to kill them directly, but you can cripple them heavily.
What OWSaint is saying is that, through hack, it takes away everything Brigitte’s advantage, leaving your team an open chance to strike her while shes disadvantaged.
Same thing if you’ve ever played D.va against Mei. Her damage isnt enough to kill D.va, but her freeze cripples D.va and prevents her from diving and doing her job.
Brigitte has a huge hitbox, that’s a really bad excuse to miss hitting her when a plat zen like me can hit her with no problems, even when her shield is up i can hit her by moving to the side a bit.
