You guys nailed it: nerfing Brigitte even more.
Sure, why not make her actually playable and enjoyable. Let’s stomp her in the mud more and more.
Here’s some ideas how also you can nerf her:
- Reduce LMB attack radius to 0.5 meters
- Increase whipshot cooldown to 30 seconds, decrease its speed
- Decrease barrier HP to 1 (though it will not make a big difference from what we have now)
- Make that so instead of throwing armor packs you need to come close to the person to give it to them
That will be hell of a fun character to play, I assure you!

I have more nerf ideas for them:
bash - from 5 damage to 1 damage, cone of effect from 60 degrees to 30 degrees
mobility removed, goes from 3 ft distance gained to zero
main attack - from 35 to 30 (now same as everone’s literal standard melee)
self heal - from 10hp/s (same as payload) to 5hp/s, it will only take 56 consecutive seconds of hitting an enemy to fully heal yourself!
ult cost - increased by 5%, goes from 2nd most expensive ult in game to 1st most expensive ult in game

Yeah her 7% pickrate and 60% winrate in GM sure sounds unplayable. Meanwhile Mercy, Bap, and Zen are all sitting at 1% or less pickrate and even lower winrates. Lmaoooo
Anyone who thinks Brig is currently weak is insane. She’s been amazing for a long time and player perception was just holding her down from getting picked (similarly to how people would yell at you for picking Mercy after each of her nerfs…and then 2 weeks later she was back to must pick status). Most players have zero idea who is actually good or bad until the pros discover the meta, and they’ve finally discovered how strong Brig is the past few months.
No one picked her when GOATS died because they assumed she died with it, nevermind her mini rework making her extremely good in 2-2-2 setting. She literally outheals me as Mercy 90% of the games I play with one on my team. Then Violet one tricked Brig top the top5 on 5 accounts 2 seasons ago and people started realizing she wasn’t trash and picked her up, and with all the recent changes to the game such as double shield being nerfed and brawl coming back she’s thriving more than ever.

Support with the highest win-rate but ok.

Reaper mains: “Allow us to introduce ourselves!”
But seriously though. Brig is very low skilled and therefore shouldn’t be played nearly as much as some of the higher skilled picks in higher ranks. That only makes tiers lower than GM and Masters less enjoyable to deal with.
She is already a decent hero (and kind of obnoxious) with a very solid win rate in lower tiers.

Hold on you’re barely nerfing her, they should at least increase rally’s ult cost by 50% and then also increase shield bash cooldown to 20 seconds and remove its stun cause oh no mediocre CC equals bad but don’t worry freezing an enemy to a grinding halt over and over with chain freeze is totally acceptable
She’s only viable since they nerfed the other supports into the ground, I assure you if they left brig and alone and reverted the nerfs to mercy and baptiste and reworked Moira then the playing field would feel a lot more consistent
Highest winrate =/= enjoyable character
She’s the stupidest melee character, that can’t maintain herself in melee fights anymore
With such dumb nerfs devs should’ve reworked her into ranged support
I enjoy her A TON, and I know many other people do too. Heck Violet bought 5 OW accounts just to one trick Brig on stream for hundreds of hours and is getting a Brig tat. And there’s clearly a ton of dedicated Brig players who love the hero if all this forum complaining is anything to go by.
I didn’t enjoy her when she first came out and was braindead and OP and boring, and I regretted getting her golden gun at release, but after the mini rework they gave her I’ve been loving her playstyle and I have to play smart and carefully and when I do she’s super powerful. It feels great.
But also…this is literally just balance, and it’s a small numbers nerf? How does that make her unenjoyable? lol People will say every nerf is unenjoyable, that’s just life. Nerfs still need to happen when a hero is overtuned or overperforming.
They herfed her HPS by 8,3%…
6,1% if you also have your passive up
It’s not a noticeable decrease
