If you are familiar with MOBA terms, Hack is equivalent to a Silence, and disabling primary fire would be equivalent to a Blind.

Oh, you mean shield bash debuffs the enemy.
It wasnāt clear enough, so I thought it debuffed herself.
I thought it was logical enough.
when will people understand that the stun is more important than the damage?
50 damage on a 7 second cooldown is laughable.

But itās the bad ones that complain to papa Jeff.
Itās just filler, agreed.
However Brig having the ability to Inspire heal without hitting stuff would be a huge buff.
Nope, stun is part of her kit to put pressure and stop enemies from attacking her teammate.

And itās the main thing thatās making it difficult to defeat GOATs.
Because attacking GOATs at long range would require burning through tons of shields.
So the only reasonable way to shred GOATs would be to get into close range and kill one of their healers.
But you canāt really do that with Brig stun involved.
#DeleteBrig
6 second Inspire
6 second ArmorPack
Inspire activated by ArmorPack
Lets see if you notice 
Those changes would make her directly weaker in most engagements and stronger when she is not directly engaged. Iād guess that would result in her being weaker at the top and stronger at the bottom with some variance in the middle. Brigās winrate is average at the top and above average at the bottom so, thatās not necessarily the direction you want to be going.
Youād also need to decide how to deal with hero selection. Somebody picking Brig/Lucio when the other was on the team isnāt going to be good for the team most of the time.
Additionally, that change will likely increase the amount of armor thatās in play. As it will speed the rate she gains inspire.
Brig will be less annoying due to the loss of stun but, that is part of why some people like her and a 50 damage minor movement ability is kinda weird.
The approach is basically messing up a character so a comp that is getting played by less than 1% of the player base wonāt work.
So Lucio will have speed boost, zen will have discord, and Brig will do 50 damage if you get within 5 ft of her?
One of these is not equal to the others.
And no, a more consistent inspire doesnāt make up for it, Brig is already weak outside of GOATS. She needs consistent healing AND her stun.
The approach is making Brig a lot more effective at healing in a 2-2-2 composition, where sheās not basically required to be paired with a Lucio to be effective.
Sheās got a knockback, a shield, and a big burst heal with armor on it.
Thatās plenty enough for Peeling.
Sheās also excessively durable for a Healer.
instead of removing the stun we could simply cut the range to 2m which is less than a melee hit
As for the damage it could go up to 30 just like a melee hit but definitely not 50
The goal here is to make it practical to jump into close range and get a pick on a GOATs comp, without getting stunned.
Because the balance changes needed to break down GOATs at long range would basically be excessive Bastion buffs, and it would destroy low ranks before it ever began to be viable at higher ranks.
How 1 sec stun can stop the entire enemy team from going in close range?
Removing her stun will send her to f tier.
That would change brigās intended role as a defender, not to say itās not already warped but I feel like we should refocus her towards that goal and not encourage the current pattern

Whatās the point of jumping in to get a kill if at the end of the engagement itās 5v5?
Lucio can peel, and is hard enough to kill.
