How would you nerf Brigitte?

I would make her shield break when she hits a target with Shield Bash

ironically, id widen the shield so its more likely to take damage and break in a firefight.

Setting down the total shield health would have the same effect I guess :yum:

Make sheild bash 6-8 seconds and reduce armor (which they are already doing)

There fixed! Lol

I don’t think it’s really a nerf, but change Repair Pack to instantly apply 60 Healing with an additional 30 HPS for 3 seconds, with up to 75 Armor overheal. I think that’ll help maintain her healing output (thereby not really nerfing her) but make it feel less demoralizing to the enemy team

I feel like the problem with Brig is that she is far too reliant on her shield bash for movement. If you nerf the cooldown or the distance of shield bash, her character will feel a lot more sluggish.

Maybe make it so you have to be a certain distance from the enemy before the shield bash will stun. When you hit an enemy at a further distance, maybe add a dazed effect instead, which disables any further skill use and slows them, but wont interrupt abilities that are actively being used.

Losing complete control of your character is far more unfun than just being slowed and silenced.

how about use some range dps…simple as that…i dont have any problem playing agains he. But if you really ask i wll give her 2 secs more to shield bash.

braking shield would be too much of a nerf and would maker her useless… prefer more the idea of this thread

slightly longer cooldown and shorter duration of bash i guess…just cause it kinda does the job of flashbang hell of a lot better with less risk involved i guess…

Increase Shield Size and curve it a bit, Increase CD of Shield Bash to 8 but increase it’s range to 8m, reduce max armor of her ult to 100 and make it decay when you haven’t taken damage recently, however give 35% of the speed boost to allies within range.

That would be awesome because you then actually really have decisions to make as her and she could get something that could be called a skill floor

Most of the time when I successfully shield bash I‘m just holding down left click anyway. It‘s just gonna make you think twice when you engage before your own frontline. Just wish she had to rely a bit more on her team when she‘s out of sync.

Shield Bash 8s CD
Rally 100 Armor and decays by 5 every second after Rally itself ends

“THAT WILL MAKE HER F TIER!!!”

No, that will keep matches from lasting for 90 gd hours. Her in combat capability and combos are fine.

Heroes need more stats so the devs can fine tune the balance easier. Main tanks like Rein should not be able to be booped / pushed / thrown around as easily as a Tracer and 76 can be. They need to make certain tanks “Heavy” which should reduce they’re boopableness by a certain percentage (like 50% resistance). Maybe make the “Heavy” stat also affect the amount of time it takes to hack them too (50% increase). The problem with Brig is she’s okay against who she was designed to counter, but waaaaaay OP against something unintended.

My nerf to her would be removing her ability to love ten men at once.

After seeing Mercy‘s development I find it hard to call it fine tuning.
Shield breaking after Brigitte dashes forward and hitting someone adds a pretty cool effect don‘t you think :slight_smile:
Giving classes different base stats is a nice idea btw.

I would make it so every time someone made a post about brigette being op: everyone playing brigette at that exact moment heard a max volume bullhorn through their headphones.

Reduce hp by 50 so it’s 150 hp + 50 armor.

She has a 600 hp shield. I don’t see why she needs to have 50 more hp than other supports and most dps.

Brigitte needs a category named after her.

-Increase shield bash cooldown by 3 seconds
-Shield bash no longer affects Rein through his shield
-Shield bash no longer interrupts Rein’s charge or Doomfist’s rocket punch if they hit head on

As well as the PTR changes to her ult
