I haven’t gotten a chance to try her out, but I’ve heard a lot of people calling her OP, UP, or just right, so I wanted to see what the general consensus is.

i think she’s fine. rather her presence (and the recent sombra buff) makes a lucio needing a change more apparent. at least for me

I think it’s too soon to tell whether or not she’s UP, OP, or balanced. She hasn’t been out for a day and yet some people think they know exactly how she fits into the rest of Overwatch.

The overheal seems strong, and is basically the center of her kit, but otherwise her kit seems relatively weak.
And gods that ult is AWFUL.

Not even close. She’s good for what she’s supposed to bring to the table. One-star off-healer/off-tank hero. But she’s far from OP.

I think she could use 50 more HP
I think if you can keep the enemy brigitte from landing the rocket flail she will be basically worthless
Does anyone have the exact numbers on her yet? Her damage seems extremely lacking, and her healing doesn’t seem that great either. I really like her kit but it doesn’t seem to have that much impact so I’d lean towards UP but I’ll wait till she’s live to make that judgement.
35 damage per swing
59-70 DPS (its either or)
175 damage burst if you hit shield bash into melee into whip
41.5 HPS Single target*
16.5 HPS AoE*
Requires brigette to be in combat, and only in a small area around her.
Her niche is burst. Burst healing and burst damage. And being tanky AF.

I’d largely agree. The stuns are useful in the midst of a chaotic teamfight…not great for dueling, but if she’s in the mid- or front-line, she can contribute greatly with that on a short cooldown from a position of relative safety (behind her shield).
The ult I think is interesting. She can charge it pretty quickly, and she can actually cast it entirely out of combat. Since the armor she distributes never goes away on its own, she can pre-buff her entire team with it.
she does 35damage per hit. with either .5 or .6 seconds per hit. each hit gives a ~16hps for her inspire passive. her repair kit does 150heals and 75armor if its overhealing (this armor disappears after 5 seconds). her ult gives 25armor per second that lasts for 10seconds but caps at 150 armor (this armor persists until damaged).
oh my god yes I do she’s the most broken op hero ever added to this game

I simply don’t have enough play time with or against her in a proper competitive environment to judge.
Guestimating from the time I did spend last night, she is going to be potent in dive and deathball. Perhaps even preventing a kill from dive on a target.
Certainly not OP, her healing will only ever be effected from melee combat and AoE. So in a sense, she is the AoE healer we needed, albeit a very situational one.
Based on the two weeks experience on PTR (which is not much) I would say no. But more testing is required to really gauge if she’s OP/UP under todays metas. But so far I think she’s okay.
She’s fine. I think people really just want to run in and beat the snot out of her, but she really, really excels there. When she’s out though, switching to Bastion or Pharah will basically force her to switch because they counter her so hard. Also her ult is… powerful, but not nearly as strong as some folks are making it out to be. Any high-damage ult will pretty much shred it, and if you have someone like Lucio or Zenyatta to ult in response, it’s pretty manageable

I don’t think she’s OP. Only thing that annoys me is playing Rein, shielding team, and so easily getting stunned by shield bash. At least McCree has to be smart enough to aim it over shields.

Let’s see, she had a healing passive like Moira’s but ALSO heals teammates, can give armor or health every 6 seconds. Has a mini shield + powerful stun. Infinite melee that does decent damage. And a long range boop that also does damage. Seems like she has everything…

Nope, far from it. From what i can tell she might need small buffs,mostly to her passive healing, but this is just my early speculation and not a fact.
What she needs is some Qol adds:
-Being able to change the sensitivity of her health pack: like Zenyatta orbs, Sombra hack, etc.
-And a marker of how many people you are affecting with your ult.
Other than that she is great, she is strong but has hard counters.

Nah. If she healed anymore she would honestly be broken. I think the amount she heals is perfect for her character. She isn’t meant to be a prime healer.

I agree. She is actually good when dueling most in close range but so are most tanks. But she is really easy to counter. If you play into her strengths you are going to get rolled.
