Does anyone think Brigitte needs to be nerfed?

After several games, I feel Brigitte is too strong for a support. I mean, you shouldn’t call her a support anymore. Having 600 barrier equal to Winston, walk faster than Rein, and heal everyone nearby by swinging enemy. This girl is too broken as a support. Not to mention her own 50 shield.

Anyone has different ideas?

would not know she can’t be picked in comp so I have not played her yet

So, now Brigitte is “op”.

I’d use Jeff’s word: OPAF

From my perspective it’s just her ult that needs tweaking

You’re the reason she isn’t available in comp

Play her elsewhere first please and thank you

@OP: Give her another week or two and she’ll be easier to handle. Players don’t entirely know how to deal with her yet, it doesn’t mean she needs a nerf.

Brigitte has no range and the shield barely covers her. I’ve noticed from playing that pharah and Sombra are quite effective at taking her down.

Winston’s barrier is an all angle defensive capability built to split the enemy and protect his back while he takes on his target. Brigitte’s barrier is a tiny shield in front of her that does not even protect from splash damage.

Pretty certain she has the base walk speed. Just like Rein.

for 16hp a second and 30dps. SOOO powerful.

Can confirm Sombra gobbles the :baguette_bread:

Actually, Rein has a 2.75 speed (this is cut down from 5.5) and Brigitte has a 3.85.

Don’t know as of yet to me, but giving Junkrat 400 armor from her ult is indeed a scary thing to see.

her ult is 300 armor over its duration, capping at 150

Are we talking shield up here? Because I just looked it up. He has 5.5 walking speed same as Briggite.

Edit: If that is the case how is an extra point of movement speed all that significant especially if it is still lower then the base movement speed with shield down?

Her synergy with Symmetra is painful. Plus, you can now have a full team of no-aim heroes, (Rein, Winston, Symmetra, Moira, Brig and Torb) that would put up a decent fight as defence. Might as well play the bots at this rate.

It’s too early to decide. My biased side says she’s fine atm though.

No. Every new hero is op and needs to be nerfed. Play the damn game and figure out her strengths and weaknesses instead of just jumping on “oh my god nerf pls” every bloody time.

I may of gotten her other ability on me than but temporarily it’s scary to see a decent Junkrat have this all at once plus barriers protecting him.

Quote: “for a support”. Really tired of this supports have to be cannon fodder mentality. Sorry if you can’t farm kills on supports anymore, now you have to earn that KD ratio lol.

I really hope this isn’t about not wanting strong women too (Considering most support characters are women, repeat, not the gamers who play them, the characters themselves, for clarification). I’d hate for feminists to actually be right, and no I’m not being sarcastic. And now I really wish I could emote through words…

Where was I? Oh, that’s right. TL;DR? Supports can be strong too, deal with it.

Yeah, the shield up speed. I just looked it up on the wiki. It probably feels a lot slower to because Reinhardt’s shield is enormous compared to Brigittes.

Stats wise (since we have enough games that overbuff, masteroverwatch etc have good enough stats to do comparisons) nothing stands out when compared to Zen.

Damage, Healing, K:D, Solo K:D… They are all near Zen. some slighty higher, some slightly lower. She has better survival against flankers, but doesn’t have discord or range.

If stun combos were op, she would have a higher solo kill rate then Zen (but doesn’t).

If her healing the team though damage was OP, she would have higher healing rates.

If her tankyness was overcooked she would have better K:D ratios since she wouldn’t die.

She seems fine.
