(About the Nerfs and now the Ptr Nerf)
I am not disagreeing with the changes. I completely understand all of the Brig nerfs and why they were done.
But… I can’t help feel that Brig has been nerfed so much that she might as well be removed and reworked at this point. Obviously the problem here was the accidental design of her. She was not a bad idea, it’s just that the idea of her kit did not work out in the game. It happens.
So, #ReworkBrig?
What do you all think? Does Brig still hold a spot in this game besides being a Dive and tracer stunner to protect the team?

I don’t play dive heroes or brig, is she even viable as anti-dive right now?
Well , shes another stun. So… as long as CC chaining and CC stacking is still a thing in the game with no major drawbacks or diminishing returns, then yea she’s good for protecting the team from mobility and dive so as long as there is damage heroes to follow up since she no longer does damage. She is just a shield bash and clutch healer now. Which is almost 25% of a hero in this game.
Her ult is such garbage now that you might as well run a lucio or zen for their ults instead.
Well she can still ruin ffa games, so… Nerf brig?
She is not very good anything now apart from goats
Imo, as long as she has at least one thing she’s good at, like goats or anti-dive, she doesn’t need an immediate rework.
This isent a nerf. It actually seems appropriate to use up the armor first before it disappears. Its just a quality of life change.
What are the PTR changes for her?
First of all you seem to not understand Brig at all.
Second, some of the nerfs were warranted, not all of them.
Third, Brig was not an accidental design at all, since she works well against alot of heroes that are not GOAT’s.
Forth what gives you the right to say her kit does not work at all for the game when in fact, if played correctly, even with the nerfs she is a powerhouse.
Honestly, I just think you are upset at losing match ups against her, which is why you are saying all these negative things about the issue. Sure alot of people do not like a specific hero. Look at me i hate Doomfist with a passion and there are many reasons why, but that is not going to make me want to have him removed from the game.
My advice, start trying to figure out how to play against Brig and you will do fine.
I’m assuming people are talking about this?
HERO UPDATES
General
- Non-recoverable health, shields, and armor are now consumed before recoverable health, shields, and armor
- Previous priority order: non-recoverable shields, recoverable shields, non-recoverable armor, recoverable armor, non-recoverable health, and recoverable health
- New priority order: non-recoverable shields, non-recoverable armor, non-recoverable health, recoverable shields, recoverable armor, and recoverable health
Developer Comments: In Overwatch, a health type order determines the prioritization of subtracting health, shield, or armor types when a hero takes damage. For example, if a hero has recoverable shields and takes damage, the damage taken will diminish the recoverable shield before recoverable health. Previously, it was possible for heroes’ recoverable shields to be prioritized for damage and regenerate, allowing their non-recoverable armor to persist. With the order adjustment, heroes who have been granted non-recoverable armor or shields will now consume those resources before recoverable health, armor, or shields.
Weird, I was thinking that was live already. I don’t see a problem with that. I honestly would like Brig to be more of a healer than damage dealer, but I would also like her to still have a place against dive.

She is still good for GOATS\MOATS\DOATS etc, and she is still moderately effective at countering tracer alone as substitution for a dps slot (triple support comp.)
Everything else she is bad now and needs a rework.
Introducing double AOE healing into the game (Lucio +brig) was always going to enable tank heavy compositions especially once armor was involved on top of those things. I’m not sure how you can rework her and make her strong without upping the AOE healing. However, any upping of the AOE healing is going to reenable GOATS again or another tank heavy variant of it (even if armor is not involved.)

She’s still in the game so they obviously haven’t won…
I have no idea why you are being so toxic, but your assumptions that this was a complaint post is way off sir. Grow up please and stop being insulting.
I do not play brig and have no problem fighting against her. Not sure why you even made your post except to simply find a way in attempt to belittle someone.
I don’t really care what people outside my games play, but at my level she’s just nothing much now. The problem was that she was sort of boring, but OP. Now she’s just pretty boring, which is a shame.

They didn’t even nerf her idiot.
She’s still broken as all hell. They just nerfed her ridiculous shieldbreak.
you may want to inform yourself before responding with insults that just make you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about
I just watched a top 500 game where Brig carried so hard the same team just played GOATS the next game. How is Brig dead? She still STOMPS
hey guys, look at my totally anecdotal evidence. This means you are wrong.
If GM DPS are still forced onto Brig she is not dead lol
