How to counter Brigitte?

Due to her rather reliable damage (hold left click, and her ability combos), and her rather tough to kill nature, are there any counters to this character? For some reason, I have honestly not seen many Brig players today. In fact, only 3 of them today, out of the many matches I’ve done today. So I can’t say I know much myself.

Pharah and Junkrat eat her for breakfast.

With no milk.

Only answer I’ve had and keep in mind this was in free for all, was Bastion

She is super vulnerable to splash damage and Ana’s grenade hits her easily. Zen discord and team focus, and any of the names mentioned above.

Weird thing that i need more testing on, but I was able to flashbang her feet with shield up

If you have the skill, play Doomfist. He’s honestly one of her best counters and incredibly fun.

range is her weakness but is also bad againest sombra and bastion since bastion is immune to her kb and cc and can quickly tear up shields and sombra can just hack her and she is almost useless

Yeah, her shield hitbox ends near her feet so McCree’s can flashbang her feet. Or just aim to the side of her.

Outrange her and bust her shield

Also nows a good time to practice vs her in FFA cause of high pickrate

These characters are all good
Torb Orisa and Symmetra are also strong against her
Zarya’s explosions can slash around her shield

In a team setting she doesn’t do well against consistent medium damage

the most of the heroes can defeat her carefully except tracer (maybe)

Any kind of splash damage basically ruins her week. The way her shield is shaped, the only time splash damage is blocked is if it’s a direct hit basically. Anything slightly to the left or right, even if it’s still in front of her, will hit her.

Don’t forget DOOMFIST

Pharah, Junkrat, Bastion, Torb are the big ones I’ve experienced. She can’t block Pharaha and Junkrat’s shots very well and doesn’t have enough range to combat turrets.

Doomfist is finally HERE.

I’ve played her a lot today since I’m maining her and let me tell you

Pharah. Counters Brigitte hard. Simply because her shield can barely block pharah’s rockets, she can’t really get away from pharah too easily, and she can’t realiably hit pharah

Junkrat also, I’ve had a lot of problems with junkrat when I played Brigitte. Junkrat can easily slaughter her

DOOMFIST. Doomfist has honestly tilted me today playing Brigitte, they both close quarters heroes and if doomfist gets a good rocket punch in, bam brigitte is dead

Otherwise it’s not too hard to get around her small shield with any character, she’s not too hard to kill tbh
