I'm done with Brig

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 6:47am

The only way I can remove her is to stop playing, she completely ruined my experience. I have tried figuring out how to deal with her on the heroes I like, but nope, the zero skill mace to the face IKEA knight kills me every time. Seriously, the skill requirement is too low for what she does. Her only counters are countered too easily but who know’s, maybe I’ll throw away the months of mechanical practice I have invested to get good at hitscan and cause the resulting wrist damage to be in vain to become a 1 trick Pharah main. Nvm, I’ll be back once she stuns herself whenever she shield bashes. ~~See you on Siege and Fortnite.~~ I like Overwatch too much and if you cant beat them, join them. So I am now a 2 trick Widow/Brigitte.

I just want real solutions for Overwatch, I hate Brig’s kit so much. This issue among others has just caused this game to become zero-dimensional and boring. Filter the salt from the community Blizzard and just use the massive resource of suggestions that they offer to fix the damn game. Thanks.

Other Anti-IKEA knight stuff

Brigitte's shieldhealth should be lowered. It is what makes her dominate everyone 1v1

Nah that’s dumb. She isn’t that out of line, and even reducing her shield down to 400 would require a solid buff to another aspect of her kit.

No, she is by herself, a full on anti-flanking monster. There needs to be a compromise. She needs to be an anti-flank assist. I have invested so much time into getting good at Tracer and other flankers but suddenly a hero is introduced that doesn’t take a player with anything more than three fingers and one arm to counter high skill heroes who people have invested a lot of time into.

Before Brig, Tracer could be countered with commutation and heroes like Zen, Cree, Reaper, Doom, and even Soldier who all took equal skill to shut down a Tracer. Now we have Brig who people can just pick up and counter enemies immediately. How boring.

Here is how you fix the stupid IKEA knight, with a brig fat nerf.

Shield health reduced to 200 HP

Shield bash stun now replaced with a boop that knocks enemies back and does 70 damage, formerly 50 damage. (Now if the Brig has enough skill, she can land her rocket flail on the booped enemy leaving them crippled, flying backward, and retreating instead of 1-shot-comboing them. IT’S FINALLY FUN! and SKILLFUL!)

Inspire healing (the one with the mace flails) now only heals Brigitte if she has not taken damage for 1 second. Inspire healing reduced from 16 healing/second to 10 healing/second.

Oh my god, she is perfect now and still viable. Rather than completely shutting down Tracer and flankers on her own, she can properly assist anti-flank allies in fending them off by using her shield, armor packs, and mace. Brigitte can no longer 1 shot combo enemies now and is far less annoying to deal with.

The game needs dynamics brought back to it, there are so few fun options on what to play now. It’s always a Brig and grav dragon. Give us more and don’t ruin the game for heroes that take skill by adding some OP ones that take none. That’s all I want, I just want to enjoy Overwatch again, and I don’t want to end up quitting to go play some boring Royalle shooter or some typical COD/Siege-like shooter. But people ARE quitting, regional top 500’s and pros ARE quitting because this game is just annoying to play. It’s going to take less than some dev making a better game with the ideas of Overwatch to completely shut this game down. I’m getting close to finishing my CS degree and I’m considering to start planning one myself (I would rather apply that energy to work towards completely rebalancing/reworking Overwatch’s sandbox in my spare time, but I don’t think the devs would even bat an eye at it), I am just getting so annoyed at this game. The same thing happened with WOW, people got too angry about the balancing on that game, that Blizzard completely pulled out of their own forums and other community forums, OW is getting to the point of annoyance and the community is getting to the point of anger that the same is imminent to happen here soon.

But what if Brigitte ate some spaghetti?

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 6:48am

Make her eat a lot, if she got fat she couldn’t chase me.

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:49am

Shes on a diet so sorry

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 6:49am

Then see you on Fortnite.

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:50am

Ew fortnite. Gross dude

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 6:50am

Okay okay, what fp shooters do you play that aren’t Overwatch: IKEA edition?

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:51am

Team fortress 2 by valve

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 6:52am

I changed my mind, I’m going to become a 2 trick Widow/Brig.

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:53am

Oh gee. Have fun sir slash madam

USGC-1934 · July 12, 2018, 6:54am

Honestly, Brig’s kit is a little overloaded.

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:55am

Make her have a spaghetti ability that let’s her heal

Kn0wledge-11243 · July 12, 2018, 6:55am

“She gets hard countered”.

Lol what a joke.

You know who gets “hard countered”?

Mercy.

Who counters her?

Practically everyone.

Who has one of the highest pickrates across all tiers?

Mercy.

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 6:56am

That doesn’t count, people cant protect flankers like they can protect Mercy. But I can be a happy little Tracer who is about to kill a Zen but whoosh armor flies by and suddenly he has full health with armor and Brig is slowly approaching with her stupid IKEA shield.

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:57am

And mercy doesn’t eat spaghetti

Nox-23390 · July 12, 2018, 6:57am

Shetorb is at it again.

USGC-1934 · July 12, 2018, 6:58am

Would it be a replacement for whip shot? Because she needs to be more supportive anyways.

Kristal-11786 · July 12, 2018, 6:58am

Itll be like take a breather. It replaces her e ability

Kn0wledge-11243 · July 12, 2018, 6:59am

I was about to one-clip a Zen and by the time he got armor thrown on him which disrupted the attempt, he ulted and it made us lose the teamfight.

I was so mad

Karasumori-11554 · July 12, 2018, 7:11am

The main problem is her stupid shield, it needs way less HP (like 200 MAX but ideally 150 MAX) so I can melt it and have a chance at killing her, she should be an anti-flank hero who can assist others (like with the healing armor, that’s less annoying than the shield bash), but she should not be a full on anti-flank hero who shuts down high skill heroes with zero skill of her own. What irks me is that I have invested so much time into Tracer to get good and it took someone with equal skill and coordination to counter my flanks, but suddenly they add Brig and anyone with three fingers and one arm can shut me down. Normal antiflankers (Zen, Reaper, Cree, Doom, and even Soldier) were enough to keep Tracer off the healers with proper coordination. The game is just zero dimensional and boring now. Grav dragons everywhere, shield bashes everywhere, boring zero skill poo is just everywhere now.
