So what are peoples initial thoughts on the Brig ult rework then? Know it hasn’t been long yet but…

tbh i dont think as “gamebreaking” as people made it out to be. a narrow window of stun, on a cooldown, only during ult. i think that’s reasonable.

I’ll post here later with my initial impressions. For now, it’s bed time since it’s like 6am here.

I haven’t had a chance to play the patch yet, but I am worried about the shorter range of the repair pack. I’m constantly spamming those on Genji/Doom/Tracer/Winston at the limits of the current range.

Loving playing double shield again. The stun is bad but not as oppressive as I thought, but that shield has to go.

I think people were overreacting to her ultimate. Still feels a bit underwhelming.

She’s just as easy to stay away from as before during ult

Also, big shield on her is UGLY and makes me cringe

So am I. I watch a bit of HolyShiftKid (high rank Brig) and he said he didn’t know why Brig was able to heal clear across the map in the first place. I was/am worried about it, but I think we’ll get used to it.

Its a fine buff, make her good, and gives her rally more use/flexibility, but it isn’t OP in the slightest.

I do think the big shield looks funny, they should have just used rein’s rectangle shape

Personally, I still think she feels underwhelming. Her best feature is her stun as it forces players to back up or be stunned for a few moments. It gives her presence on the field that she lacked before.

I’m aware that her whipshot can also force players back, but if I have to explain the virtues of implied threat doing that before you even use a single CD, I’m not going to be happy about it.

That said, she still feels especially squishy during her ult. I know she has a big shield, but there’s an issue with that now:

If I’m using my shield, I’m not swinging. If I’m not swinging, I’m basically not using my ult. So if you want me to ult, and then stand back and use the shield, I’d straight up argue she should just get her shield health buffed so she can do that without the ult. Then I can use her ultimate for ultimate things, you know?

The way I see it is playing Brig is a constant state of “shield, swing, shield, swing.” I’ll walk up to a Sigma, shield his primary fire, swing, shield his rock, swing. This just gives more opportunity to shield burst/focus fire, since she’s priority #1 during her ult.

I am disliking it so far.

Why they nerfed the range on her health pack for this mediocre “rework” is beyond me.

Moving slower and not having constant temp health Regen feels bad, and being forced to use your shield more is not my idea of a good ultimate. Still feels about at the same level tbh, only the shield looks silly and the camera zoom makes it feel clunkier and messes with my eye-to-muscle memory. Lol

She’s over all worse than she was because the nerfs don’t make up for anything that she got from this rework.

It doesn’t really though. The size and health do nothing for these situations, so the lack of health over time and speed makes it worse in all dueling situations. The stun is useful though.

I’d say 100 instant armor and a 750 shield is pretty great. Haven’t played her yet, though. A 750hp shield is undeniably pretty good.

Still not enough. People will cry, but I think in terms of “ult power”, Brig is still at the lower end. The range nerf for the pack was not needed. She still needs some attention to bring some utility in her normal rotation and not just the ult.

I take my words back, I genuinely thought it would be very problematic but having played with/against her, she feels very fair. It suits her character well and the stuns aren’t overly obnoxious.

I died right away the first two times I tried to use the ul because I got too cocky.

So far it really doesn’t feel all that powerful, tbh, even when I got smarter and more careful.

Yeah, it’s almost like one idiot with a big Platform said a Dog Take and now everyone Parrots him.

I haven’t played her, but I’ve played against her.

Doesn’t seem very broken to me. In fact I’d still say it’s probably one of the worse support ultimates.

This… 100% this.

All these people complaining about her OW1 stun… look at other hero’s that have that in their kit like Doomfist and Roadhog.

These changes dont seem to be buffs or nerfs… just mediocre changes.
