It's called experimental for a reason

Woke up to brig nerfs like

I’m not worried, though. If the Brigitte nerfs are just unplayable then they won’t go through, just like the Moira nerfs. I have faith in the devs, they don’t want people to be unhappy and they want what’s best for the game.

We can only hope. This is a sledgehammer she didn’t need.

if it’s called “experimental”, then please let us experiment with things that make sense to the game

not “wah i die to brig 1v1 because she has no skill”
“hurhur okay let’s nerf her ability to give overhealth to her allies”

let’s try
“okay, symmetra is literally being used for one ability and swapped off before the match starts in OWL, maybe we should fix her”

even if it’s just expiremental it still shows how incompetent they are with balance that they would think this was even ok to “test”

if this is why you think they changed brigitte, you aren’t even worth talking to

their clearly mocking other people who think that but ok

Testing a hard nerf makes perfect sense since her winrate has been very high for quite a while.

theres no indication that they are mocking anyone but the dev team, pushing the same tired narrative that blizzard only listens to stupid genji mains who die to brig and moira

it’s so difficult to explain things to people

if i had literally tried going in depth as to how brig’s position in the game is due to everything else, including zenyatta’s position and why he can’t compete with her spot, they would have freaked out about that, too

I mean show me one instance recently where that isn’t the case :see_no_evil:

Let her give a pack to a full health target who can ”carry” it unused for 4 or 5 secs or until first damage taken triggers its healing effect.

Pre-heals was a unique feature for Brig.
Please don’t make her more neutral.

For example: Brig gives a full health Tracer one pack, she “carries” it unused (because no damage was taken still) for 4 or 5 secs or until her first damage taken during her flanking, which triggers the healing effect for her.

I mean, you can still pre-heal with the packs, but it’s just for 2 secs, so it seems a waste, this idea of mine it’s like a “delay“ for it to start healing, less of a potencial wasted pack, you know?

I think most of the anger SHOULD stem from the fact that such unneeded nerfs/changes are what the team is considering instead of ACTUALLY being experimental and testing out unique and wildly different things like a full Bastion rework, big zenyatta buffs, turning Mei into a tank, other things. This is not an experimental card, it’s a make little tweaks and pray card.

They don’t balance for Genji mains. Or Moira mains, or any mains. They balance off of stats. They have a discord for the best players to give some input, but Chipa isn’t writing your patch notes.

This patch wasn’t even around decreasing her 1v1 potential, the big nerf was one that stopped people from running around with extra health. Most frustrating was surprise surprise, flankers. Do we really need Tracer with 150 + 50 armor?

she’s a support, ofc it will go through.

She would not have more than 2x Lucio’s pickrate in addition to a higher winrate if that had been the only reason.

Moira changes literally didn’t go through :dancer:

which one? where she almost got a fade that could fade when she was stunned?
which was an insane buff that shouldn’t go through?

last experimental.

the literal sheer existence of bastion, sombra, symmetra, and pharah would like to have several words to you

i literally never said anything about genji mains

you brought it up because you want to play victim

yOu ArEn’T EvEn WorTH TaLkiNG To iF yOU Can’t CoMprEhENd ThaT

the “only” reason where?

i said there are multiple reasons, as in, it’s not only the power creep pushing out some heroes, that ends up bringing another hero in, but stronger, but then it’s the added side affect of the power crept heroes that can’t exist anymore to keep the others in check that should end up being their strengths

there’s a lot of ping-ponging with this issue, including the introduction of 2/2/2, and the lack of balancing that went into it (i agree with 2/2/2, but i disagree with how they handled it)

I’m a support main -who play Brig as well- and I think these changes are perfectly fine when you consider what her kit has been capable of for so long. She’s been overpowered; she’s being nerfed. That’s balance.
