How do i counter brigitte

I am a soldier and tracer main. In qp its really hard to beat a brigitte. Tracer gets annihilated. Soldier can only poke damage. Genji also loses his value. Which dps can hard counter her except pharah.

And i was telling u why would you need more than 1 hard counter?

Maybe you can only poke her and not kill her with soldier ( though it s questionable)
What can brigitte do against soldier ?? Literally nothing as long as he keeps his distance . Same can be said to any character . As long as u stay far away enough u can wreck brigitte and she cant do anything against you .

So bastion junkrat soldier phara hanzo widow zen tracer as long as u keep ur distance .

You can’t counter her as any dps except pharah and doomfist. She is beyond op and game breaking she feels like she came from another game and done by different developers.
Her skill cap is minimal and her output is everything in the game she heals she protects she stuns she does 70 damage a sec which is close to tracer’s damage and she boops and shutdown ultimates idk what was papa jeff thinking of when he started working on her

Maybe it was just to bait out more doomfist players because no one plays him.

You either wait for her to take damage and flashbang fan hammer, or just shoot her from the side. She is extremely vulnerable from the side and top. You could play Soldier into her but you cant try to fight her at medium to close range ever even on your healing circle. She can easily win almost any 1v1 against soldier within her range and can flail him off his healing circle.

The only time she can totally block damage really is if she’s facing almost directly at you. When focusing her, you force her to keep her shield up, which denies her from using her healing passive.
Take my word I have like 30+ hrs so far.

Agreed. If you look at the latest additions to the roster Overwatch is now even more casual than ever before. Low skill but high impact heroes have been presented and they don’t seem to fit the mix in any other way that to make Overwatch playable even for those that spend only 1,5 hours a week. Brigitte is so OP that it’s borderline crazy. I got the achievements in my first game with her. The second time I played her we were stuck on Gibraltar second phase when I switched off my main dps and picked Brigitte. 9 player kill streak immediately, I put down hog, reaper, rein… with zero experience. The stun ability is strong, then you land a few no aim swings without the enemy being able to do anything and continue keeping that lmb pressed → a kill. Someone shooting at you, no problem, just rmb, wait for stun to come off CD and repeat.

It is impossible to always stay far away because you have to push the cart or capture the point. Brigitte is more effective on close range than reaper.

In my experience, if you allow Brigitte to get within shield bash range you die. You have to keep her at range and/or hard focus her so that she can’t just stay alive with her shield.

You guys must be stuck in the same echo chamber. She’s not very high skill, but shes easily focused. I like how you gauge that she’s overpowered from that 5 minutes you played her in a quickplay game.

I think most comp games next season will have a Briggite though, just make sure you focus the enemy Brigitte when yours goes in on her.

They did nerf the 1 shot combo though, if you’re playing tracer and hold recall through the stun. Tracer isn’t really at a serious disadvantage here though, as long as you stay out of shield bash range or even bait it you’re fine.

Tracer main and i can confirm
the stun combo 1 shots tracer with hand full of french fries

Stun = 50
Shift = 70
1 swing= 35
In total 155 without even aiming

lul. more people spouting incorrect information and crying about the melee range support with the paper thin 600 hp shield. it’s always the same thing too, it’s always ā€œomg that shield bash is op guys!ā€. you know, mccree has had a stun with about the same range for how long now? and he can hit headshots! friggin OP that is!

she can only heal (a staggering 16 hps at that, less than lucio) as long as she is in melee range to deal damage (repair pack is a single burst, unlike every other healer who has continuous heals and can switch from target to target as needed, she heals one and anyone else is screwed till it’s off cd). she can block about 2 things before her shield breaks, it takes 2 seconds to start recharging and if it breaks, that’s 3 if broken.

I also have to laugh when we’re listening to things like this:

Ok bud, tracer has 240 dps fyi. 70 is over 3 times less than that, about 3 and a half. brigitte does slightly more dps than winston and winston’s gun has a further range than her at that. she has 3 meters to one side and 2 to the other. winston has a 6 meter range in about the half circle in front of him.

idk guys. sounds crazy op to me.

You’re complaining about an issue that has already been addressed, and then you come back and say how unfair it is because the patch hasn’t rolled out yet. I have zero sympathy.

It wasn’t even relevant to the discussion this was supposed to be about brig counters, any decent tracer I’ve played against can zone and kite Brigitte anyway.

Unmmmm tracer does full damage in 4 seconds apparently, brig does 70x 4 is 280 while healing herself so… check ur mafs

And guessa whaaaaaaat tracer requires aim…

trust me, my math is sound. she shoots 20 rounds per second with 2 guns that is two shots per round. 6 per bullet which is 12 per shot. 12x20 is? 240 dps. if tracer took 4 seconds to kill anything, she would never be played.
