Be honest here.
I played her for a few games yesterday. I am not judging the hero.
But not once did I feel like I was trying very hard, and hence I didn’t feel good about achieving anything.
I’ve played her before, for about 20-30 hours. And yes she is a great counter to Genji/Tracer.
But people play her even in the absence of those two.
Overall I just found no enjoyment, even the wins felt meh.

Not looking for judgement just looking for what people enjoy about playing her.

I enjoy playing her to counter aggressive back-line play. I enjoy it even more when they don’t get the hint and continue to get countered.

Brigitte is like watered down reinhardt, except rein is actually fun to play.

The only time I would play her is if my team is playing goats, and zarya isnt available. I hate everything about brig, and about how easy she is

I honestly think her biggest issue is her infinite swings. She can just chain hits with it. If they limited it to 3 or 4 swings, then a pause, it would make her far more challenging to play without changing aim mechanics.

I enjoy playing her and switch to her if we have a second healer that gets harassed by flankers. Then I normally sit around them to protect them so they can do their job, healing when I can and try to keep my inspire up as much as possible.
She’s a necessary hero with all these annoying flankers around. And a good babysitter when Tracer is around harassing the back line.

Honestly, I’m having this with every support hero except of Zen and Ana (haven’t played Bap) and Lucio only when going on a wallride adventure (and thus not playing the actual game). Considering this, Brigitte isn’t even the worst offender imo.

I totally get this, this is why I have 20-30 hours on her, necessity.
I love playing lucio because I am teaching a friend to improve his Rein, and they pair so well together.
I play her more than any other healer, here’s what I enjoy about her:
- chasing down the game’s smallest fastest heroes (genji/tracer) and if you actually catch them and somehow miraculously kill them, you feel REALLY good like you earned the hell out of that kill since you have no mobility yourself
- Playing at the back of my entire team when pushing payloads and acting like the momma lioness and pouncing savagely on anyone who comes to mess with my team’s other healer
- Messing up tank plays by whipshotting them out of position
- Proccing aoe healing from a distance by landing whipshot, landing it is a skillshot so it always feels good, the sound, the accompanying sparkle that means you’re healing your whole team for having good aim with it
I would still wish her damage or mobility was raised because I feel like I can never kill anything, which I don’t have that problem with any other healer I play. I can 3 shot as ana, delete in a single volley as zen, go pistol mode in valk and kill as Mercy etc, but I struggle with Brig to get kills most of the time now with her crap damage and 35 damage per swing.
And mobility is a huge issue with her. I am constantly using bash 99% of the time to simply reposition myself around the field (but it only gives like 2 extra feet) to get line of sight to throw repair kits at people, and a lot of the time the pack flys so slowly that they die before it reaches them

You’re right. A lot of times you don’t feel like you’re achieving anything on Brigitte. Inspire healing is negligible and her damage is worse than Winston.
Also, Rally really doesn’t do much compared to the other Support ultimates.

Personlay I love her Rocket Flail. Its really satisfying hitting an insuspecting Phara out of the sky :3. Beyond that I like that shes basicly a mini Reinhardt, her shield bash is really fun (because I can just picture how annoyed that enemy genji or tracer is and oh thats a great feeling). I will admit I still think she needs to be toned down a bit though, maybe adjusting Inspire or her main attack range would help.
After a dozen nerfs already, this hurt my chest to read.

I know I dont like having to say it either because shes really fun as is, but she just enables so many, in my opinion, bad team comps (goats can go jump off a cliff). Shes the easiest thing to change that would impact that without changes 5 other characters.
I enjoy playing her (low elo). She’s more than just a counter because even though her shield is small, she can still protecc teammates from targeted attacks. For example, a McCree flanks and stuns bastion on a payload, you can easily stand in front of a fan the hammer and prevent a death. Let’s say a Reinhardt is nanoed. Shield bash him for that second that you would normally have. That gives you more time to deal with him where you normally wouldn’t have that time. The whip shot, if used correctly can act like a focused lucio boop or a hook (In reverse). She’s a great hero to play for me (again, low elo, low gold) because not only does she heal but she has decent damage and passive health regeneration.

My brother likes her; she’s like his main, but a healer and a tank so he can carry his 5 dps teammates.
