I think Blizzard's message is clear with Brigitte 🧐

There is a lot of people complaining about Brigitte and how they can’t 1v1 her. What Blizzard is trying to say is ā€œYou don’t have to 1v1, because this is a TEAM gameā€.

People say this. I’m just hoping Brigitte isn’t the new Symmetra in two months. Loads of people were saying all these things about reworked Sym, then two months later with no changes at all, people learned to work around her and she became situational trash. I see a lot of Symmetra’s problems in Brigitte.

Brigitte has short range, and little supporting capability. She still has to fill a support slot and compete with every other support for team space. I play all supports and I already don’t think I’d use her in 75% of situations, just because she’s an off healer and in many situations a main healer is better. That’s not counting the situations where another off healer with longer range or less sporadic healing is better.

i would be fine with this if she wasn’t a support. i shouldn’t have to bring half my team to kill a support with an effective 850 health.

I think it’s about time people stopped playing this game like cod.

It’s not about the kills, it’s not about the yourself, it’s about the team😁

Just remember that, and your good.

Thats all well and good, but there is a FFA game mode and Brigitte is completely ruining it…

And before that it was Moira, and before that it was Roadhog, and before that it was someone else…

ā€œIt’s a team gameā€ very much applies… FFA is just a ā€˜for fun’ mode, not a balancing benchmark.

A single Brigitte is just as fragile in FFA as she is in a regular game. The reason she’s so frustrating in FFA is because people either swoop in to help her, or there’s four Brigittes and you get chain-stunned before finally dying to somebody’s mace.

Yeah, and a Support shouldn’t be able to melt 90% of the roster in two seconds like Moira can. If you’re fine with Moira, but not Brig, there’s a fundamental problem.

actually i am fine with moira. i don’t have to bring my team i can easily kill her by my self i play tracer and can out damage her self heals. The thing is you can’t out damage brigittes self heals because of her shield. You need your team there to help or at least one support. i need to be constantly healed in order to kill a support? are you kidding me? self heals are fine on lucio and mercy and to some extent moira because they don’t do a lot of damage brigitte has too much damage to justify self heal.

Ah. See, Brig is your counter as Tracer. She’s meant to stop the flank / dive. That’s why she was added. Jeff said as much in the hero reveal trailer.

DF can squish her just like every other support, Pharah, the rat, etc.

I’m not saying she or any other hero should be balanced based off of effectiveness in FFA, I’m just saying that she makes FFA which is meant to be a ā€˜fun mode’ very un-fun. At least for me.

yes the irrelevent df(as of now) and pharah and junk characters you barely see.but maybe that was blizzards goal in order to make them more relevant.

Personally, I think she competes more for tank space then she does for healing space.

She regenerates hp and shield much the same way as RoadHog and she has a more limited range to compensate, but also has the added bonus of more reliable CC and more of it in her kit.

I dunno man, that upcoming DF buff is gonna be siiiick. He’ll be back in more comp games, for sure!

As far as Junkrat, I’m not even gonna claim to be a super high elo (Silver) and he is everywhere. He does so much damage, with such little skill requirement, that I find myself using him at times–because he’s THAT good. I don’t even have to really try and get POTG with a triple kill from just shooting grenades in random directions and tossing mines. I dunno how it is at higher levels, but at lower he is a nightmare lol.

If Junkrat had an unreliable grenade bounce like the Demo-man and if his gun fired more like the demomans I would easily be able to duel people in mid range with it, as well as provide minor zone control.

However with how reliable the nades bounce because they’re spherical I think he’s a bit too easy for just zoning spots. But because the bombs are so small its hard to duel in the mid distances.

I’m gonna play him more tho now that I’ve gotten over him not being a 1:1 copy of demoman.

There’s also 6 other characters on the enemy team. I don’t know why everyone is so dead set on killing and countering her first.

A team work game where the dps and tanks dont need protect the healers…

Where is the role función?

Lets go play codverwatch!

put a full roster of heroes you can’t 1vs1 then and change the face of the game. else its obviously broken

Have you tried to kill her with Reaper? I’m fine dying with Tracer against Brigitte because she read my play to kill me.

However It’s IMPOSSIBLE to 1v1 with Reaper. Brigitte should actually miss all of her skills, drop her shield and not having any other support near her. It’s rediculous.

There’s a distinction between hard to kill (see Moira) and impossible. The same goes for widow and hanzo as well. Also her model in comparison with Moira, does not provide a clear headshot sight from any angle. It’s just like Rein, torb, Ana i.e. there’s no neck to adjust your sight, you just headshot them because of practice.

FFA is a bit of fun.

If she bothers you that much take Rein and just smash her
