And low elo just basically feeds to her and can’t understand why they’re still losing to a melee ranged hero.
She appears to be perfectly average in mid tier where people know how to shoot, but don’t always play together or even in the same direction.
Thoughts?
I… don’t think this is a hot take for several characters. Many characters suffer from “only good at high levels of play”.
The higher up the ranks you go, the more deathball-y the game become. Down in silver you’re basically playing TDM around the objective.
She’s by no means bad or even “average” in lower ranks. When people play her, they win. I use her when I need to place support because I don’t play the role and she’s such a simple option. She’s good at walking with players through their weaknesses, and lower rank players have many.
That’s not to say I think she’s a problem in lower ranks and I don’t necessarily want her nerfed. The stronger Brigitte is, the easier it is for me to place for support each season.
I think she’s actually quite bad in all ranks outside of that gm tbh
Her healing isn’t that great either, she is good at peeling
What? Her healing is pretty good. I out heal my Ana around 50% of my matches.
Just today I got 22.5k healing in 15 minutes with Baguette on Oasis.
Honestly, I think Brig is mostly good because she’s the only effective healer for flankers.
Really? And i thought she would need more repair packs after the overheal nerfs lol
She is great in every rank. Her reasons may be different for being so good from low ranks to high ones, but there is no rank she isnt doing above average in terms of winning. Lower ranks are not obligated to pick her like they are in high ranks, but when they do, they win often.
I agree I think she is good in all ranks.
I don’t think that’s the case, she is good at lower ranks too, I’m high plat now. (public profile)
Brigitte looks good because she looks good everywhere.
Like there’s not a rank where she looks bad, from the day she was released to today.
That’s a character designe flaw. Sadly a lot of games have it. Also League (popular example) - or in other games weapons that are hard to handle but really good if you can do it.
The problem being this didn’t used to be the case for a lot of them. They USED to be fine at all levels.
I don’t think so.
I think over time the high skilled players learned to get EVEN MORE our of this hero (like Anas through the map nades) or just ogt better (aim, gamesence, etc.) while “low skilled people” got stuck where they are.
Of course, they buffed and nerfed around, but this is not mainly the reason - at least this is what I think.
The part that always confuses me is that the nerfs always hit the mid tiers the hardest. They don’t target what the high level players are doing to make it rough. Armor was a problem mid tier. Serial Multifreezing was a problem mid tier. Moira heal levels were a problem mid tier…
Just keep coming.
Brig is popular at high ELO because she is a necessary evil that keeps powercrept Genji and Tracer under control.
Please share the replay code. I’ve only gotten that much healing with Ana and lucio!
Did you get a lot of + nades from your Ana?
Yes, this is the case for all good and/or high elo players, no matter what hero they play ad nauseum.
The higher up you go the more its just double shield spam. God what I would give to be able to play Lucio in a deathball comp again. 
A nerf can actually buff someone’s stats. In this case, because her teammates now take a bit more damage and no longer have the excess HP to enable longer flank routes, they are more likely to need and/or play around her raw healing. Thus, her average Inspire output stats (and total healing) have most likely gone up a bit since the Repair Pack nerfs.
