Free SR, and I am one of the people who doesn’t like the game as much because of Brigitte
Brig. is a great character and a TON of fun to play. The only issue i have with her is that Blizzard keeps caving in to people who don’t want to adapt OR play counter and nerfing her, they just are upset they can’t play tracer/genji unending with no penalty.

Brig is a poorly designed hero. She has the highest health of any support and even more than most DPS heroes making her able to reliably 1v1 most dps (except for Junkrat and Pharah who she can just avoid), Mcree is the next best pick against her but you have to flash bang her before she bashes you and even then if you use fan the hammer she will live if she hasn’t taken any damage then bash you, right click, rocket flail and win the fight because she’s regained almost all of her health and you’re flashbang is still on cooldown.
Rocket flail gives too much control over distance meaning anyone that is a threat up close can easily be knocked back giving her the space she needs.
and if they are using shield to block the flail (such as rein) that can be solved with a bash.
Avoiding her isn’t an option since she’ll just drop an armor pack on whoever the DPS is focusing giving them an instant advantage over you. So you have to focus down brig or get your team to focus down target after target (solo que hates that).
Oh and to top things off her ultimate charges so fast that if you just use it every time it comes off cooldown you’ll have a new one by the time all the armor of the first one has been cleared off. Even with the nerf on the cap of the ability it can still be abused.
Brig never should have been put into the game. She makes playing miserable for everyone.

The only thing i hate about Brig is her Shield Bash.
Mediocre CD and Stuns for 1 sec, leaving enough room for you to get tons of damage off.
I mean McCree a DPS has his stun on a longer CD, but lasts shorter. It requires him aim (or FTH for people with poor aim, like me) to get tons of damage.
Brig just has to Bash - Hit - Hit - Hit - Flail.
That is what annoys me.
The rest of her kit is fine
No, she doesn’t. Flash the hammer is enough to wipe out a Brig assuming all the shots land. If that doesn’t work, it doesn’t take too long to wear through her shield and render her both defenseless and borderline useless. Unless you want to take it into a team context, in which McCree can coordinate with the other support to take her down regardless of whether or not she’s recharging her shield by standing behind a Rein.
The trick to defeating Brig is that she’s horrible in a 2 v 1 if both players are competent with the characters they are playing. And even then, there are duelist characters which you can pick to counter her on top of characters like Pharah and Junkrat.
Not for me, I enjoy duelling her. Doomfist and Mercy makes people upset or otherwise unhappy, should we remove them as well?
You can’t effectively use enjoyment as reasoning behind removing or otherwise changing someone else’s reasonable fun with a game.

i love people stating their opinion as if its fact. “brig is not a fun character” in my opinion she is both fun to play and fun to play against. its call adapting and overcoming. just because you have to change your strategy or play something other than your main/mains dont make something OP. any yes, i know about her high win-rate, but thats because literally everyone dont wanna change their way of battle to counter the enemy!

You have no data to prove this.
I want to see a pie chart with projected sales based on Brig Deletion.

In general? Yeah.
In Brigitte’s case? Nope.

in all honesty the whole “you just hate not aim based heroes” is invalid for brigitte because every single hero in the game is more skillbased than her, everything all around on her is the lowest of the low

Brigitte is easy to punish. Just focus her.
And I find Doomfist, Bastion, Roadhog, Torbjorn, and Junkrat to not be fun. Doesn’t mean I demand for them to be deleted. There are people that like Brigitte just as there are people who dislike her. That can be said for every hero.
Also, Brigitte a no skill hero? The Bastion who is currently sat on the objective and hasn’t left the entire game holding down one button/trigger and getting gold elims would like to have a word with you.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids crying for nerfs
And everyone telling you ways to counter her
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy nerf meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for trolling
Beer for toasting
And caroling out in the popcorn
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Nerf threads long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
wait… you think zen is low skill? “set and forget healer”? what about the 9 other things he does? Maybe you just haven’t played him enough to know what it takes to play him at full potential.
The only skill brigitte requires is positioning. And even if she’s bad at it, she is forgiven for it a lot more than other heroes are. If zen doesn’t play perfectly, that’s one dead zen.

By “some other heroes” do you mean everyone? Everyone who fights for objectives and tries to win? Everyone who actually gets punished for bad positioning unlike her? Everyone who has 1-2 roles and relies on their team, but not all 3 roles and doesn’t?
Considering the skill requirement of Brigitte, or lack of it, I really don’t think you deserve to say things like “git gud” to anyone. If you were any good at aim/positining/game sense/awareness/etc, you wouldn’t play this broken hero.
