removing her would be the worst thing they could do XD if they remove her id expect them to remove several other heroes as well because they are annoying including genji and tracer XD

Could you rephrase that question?
I’m not sure if you’re asking me wether skill should be more important than teamork, or if i think the game is bad because teamwork is more important than skill. So i guess i’ll answer both…
If heroes like Ana, Widow and McCree see less play than the easier options, i think something is wrong. Overwatch league is the peak of skill in this game.
If a hero like Ana doesn’t work there, then they won’t work anywhere. High skill characters are absolutely awful in the low to mid ranks, while easy heroes such as Brigitte and Mercy dominate low to mid ranks. If a hero like Ana sees less play than a hero like Mercy AT THE PEAK off all skill, then something is wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong.
The easy heroes have their place to shine. Why do they also need to shine at the highest levels of play when they already dominate low level and mid level play?
The high skill characters already suck at low to mid levels of skill. Why should they be subpar to easier and more consistent options at the high ranks?
No, I see where you’re going with what you’re saying. Playing tanks as well, I think her stunning with shield bash is only an issue for really coordinated teams too, which they would have the advantage in other ways too.
If the effects were swapped though, it still keeps her being extremely brawly, because she’s going to be hitting and healing. If she completely shuts down a Flanker, it’s out of skill, but she would still counter a Flanker because her brawly nature makes the Flanker overstay their welcome from damage and their target being healed by Brig.
That’s what swapping the effects would do. It would keep Brig playing pretty much the way she does, but it puts a higher skill ceiling on the character to effectively shut down the people she counters.
It would just change the combo too. People would likely combo Whip->LMB->Bash instead of Bash->LMB->Whip.
I disagree.
I think brigitte is exactly the kind of hero overwatch needs. The more impactful choices we have, the more kinds of comps and metas we can develop.
Imagine a roster of 40 heroes similar to brigitte in impact, then you include a draft phase where you pick and ban heroes. Combined with maps, so much strategy involved, At least, that’s the game I have in my head.

I hate Brig, but I kind of agree that Brig is needed.
She twisted the absolute advantage of DPS character over Supports or even some Tank.
P.S. I guess that Brig require some minor nerf EVEN AFTER her nerf on PTR, but she isn’t that far away from balanced/little dominant IMO

I will never forget the so-called high skill required dive, or mobile characters are picked almost every game after I reach Plat in Season 5.
I wouldn’t call a PVP game good when I see the same 4 characters all over again. Not to mention this phenomena implied pathetic balance when “plat-pleb without skill and teamwork” can play them way more effectively against any team playing differently.

Brigritte only way to give permeant armour is though her ult. Torb gives armour as passive and by his turret doing damage.
Personally I don’t have a problem with her. I think she’s pretty easy to deal with. I do think they should just change her stun to some massive knockback. Will probably get the people to stop crying about it less.
i think that she needs minor adjustments or maybe a more obvious counter pick than pharah, but besides that i think shes ok where shes at, i think the hanzo nerfs and the ana buffs will make her less needed on every team, sure she is a powerful hero and meta, but that doesnt make her need to be removed.
I never make new threads in these forums to complain about something, but i would make exception if they started removing heroes. Especially ones i like, including Brigitte.
I might just actually quit the game too, if that ever happened. It’s already getting difficult to stomach some of this games few issues that annoy me.
Mercy says hi! I’m pretty sure that to this very day, Mercy is still more controversial topic than Brigitte.
I would be mad. She’s the only reason I’m winning in Silver comp!
Yet she is hardly picked at all in OWL, only used to counter diva and certain points of maps and then switched off. Even then she isn’t dominating. just doing what she was designed to do.
I feel like Blizzard wouldn’t even consider removing her altogether. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty annoyed by her as well. But for them, it’s a practical thing. They spent time and (more importantly) MONEY into her creation, and removing her is sort of like putting all that to waste. Plus, it sort of sends out the idea that Blizzard doesn’t know what they’re doing, if they’re removing a hero they had just released.
Now, reworking her? I can see that happening, but way off in the future. I feel like Blizzard won’t make drastic changes to a hero they just released, not until they’re certain that they absolutely need to be rebuilt.
I love Brigitte now, especially bullying squishy amidst a heated battle
The tone of this point sounds super selfish for some reason. I donno, please don’t kill me :X

The idea of removing any hero from the game is…just beyond stupid. To ask for such a thing is to be an entitled twit critically lacking in reason.
She gives us some ability to fight dive.
If she is removed then I would be really really upset.
Remove hanzo from this reality and all of infinity before Brigitte.
Brigitte is annoying but is easily ignored. New Hanzo makes me want to rip my face off.
In jest.
I wouldn’t mind if she was removed until she gets fixed but she just needs some stiff nerfs, she fills a lot of voids in the game perfectly.
I don’t mind her kit too much.
But I seriously detest low skill high reward design. I havent been able to enjoy playing the last two new heroes for this reason, and I really like Brigitte.
