Imagine if Brig becomes meta again

If this happens I’m going to laugh. Just shows how broken Brig was on release.

Or that her kit is just fitting better to the meta’s being created by high ranks and no matter how much you nerf her, as long as her kit is more useful to the meta she will remain in it. Y’know. That too I guess.

Only reason Lucio isn’t meta over her is because speed boost is pretty useless in comps that don’t need fast aggressive engages. Therefore a defensive healer with an aura to match his would naturally take his place.

I think they severely underestimated how effective her design is in a game like Overwatch. Everyone is always complaining 'cause they got OHK’d etc. they never stopped to think about how brawly this game really is.

I think they mean if/when the experimental changes make it to the core game.

That’s fine I guess, someone has to be the most played support. Just so long as she doesn’t have one of the highest winrates in the game at every rank.

a hero like her shouldnt be the most played support, especially considering how long shes been the top played support

i think you should be the one calming down…

literally all i said was that if brig becomes meta then it’s just going to show how strong her core kit is

Just shows how strong her rework made her in a forced 2-2-2 environment
Off support with main heals, what a great idea

P.S yeah she will be meta again because they are yet to address repair pack properly

Which applies to literally any other hero that’s ever been meta more than once. Like every tank and support that there is save Hammond and Baptiste?

baptiste has been meta multiple times

If you want to count short bursts and not extended periods, every hero has been meta multiple times except symm

One of these things is not like the others
250hp barrier
Second shortest stun in game
Second lowest dps in game
Semi-skillshot single target cc
low sustained heals that must be proc
three mercy beams that can crossmap and stack with inspire
and rally which is kinda OP and could use a duration nerf but is ultimately fine
At this point it’s only really one thing keeping her OP

bap was meta in bunker, season 19s stage of double shield, and this seasons double shield

yeah it seems that way, inspire was definitely OP as well, alongside rally

False. Baptiste has been meta.

False. Sym was meta for 2 weeks.

Also, Brig, despite being a more fairly recent character, has been in so many different metas only Rein really is above her in terms of how many metas she has been in. Only time she hasn’t been in meta was the OrisaHog meta a few months before Role queue and the very early stages of DoubleBarrier.

Shush nobody tell them…

and she didnt fit into orisa hog because she doesnt fit into poke comps, its not that she wasnt overpowered, she just wasint in the conditions that made her overpowered

Couldn’t this be argued for any hero though? For example orisa was OP but her kit wasn’t as oppressive without a sigma? Or moira isn’t OP as long as comps don’t need raw healing?
(Just kinda seems like characters are victims of their synergies)
