… but isn’t it exactly what the game needs right now?
Support players feel like they can’t survive and they’re constantly being harassed. Brig EXISTS to aliviate pressure from supports due to her ability to peel for herself and her duo. Making Brig a viable, POWERFUL pick would give players an option for when they’re being harassed. It’s EXACTLY what we need right now.
member when rally was bugged so each armor tick counted as a separate “layer” of armor and you had something like -40% damage taken while it was actively refreshing your armor?
She wouldn’t be an option so much as a requirement, since the OP hero on the other team would need to be mirrored every match to have a chance at beating it. This kind of thing isn’t fun. Just ask tank mains.
Nobody needs anyone to be overpowered. Personally i would like it if they just made everyone balanced so I didn’t have to play the same 4 heroes/see the same 4 heroes every game.
Giving Brig her stun back would help protect supports and not still wouldn’t make her OP. Still doesn’t change the fact she isn’t a good pairing with Zen, who is probably in most need of her protecting.
DPS and Tanks aren’t self sufficient. FAR FAR FAR from it.
Tanks and supports both have two players they can rely on to help them and save them: Their supports. To a lesser extend they also have their tank, but really it’s mostly their supports.
Supports, however, only have ONE person they can rely on, their duo’d support, and that person also may not be able to help them because they have to help their allies. Supports have less help than the other roles because they’re always occupied keeping other people alive.
In OW1, supports had two people to rely on because the offtank would usually play to peel for them. This meant that everyone had atleast 2 people to rely on. In OW2, it’s just not the same.
Inability to identify safe spots, lack of mechanical skill to duel/outrun someone who catches them, not calling for help/people ignoring their calls for help while they’re being dived, etc.
Like, in high ranks being support is unfun because impact for the heroes they’d like to play isn’t as strong as better (kiriko, lucio, mercy depending on ranks) supports. Lower ranks it tends to be that you have to work on your own a whole lot more to stay alive on your own because you’re basically an island and with lower skill expression the gap between, say, even a Diamond Ana and a Gold Ana is huge when they’re being focused by the enemy, and the enemy tends to have higher damage at base than they would.
For all of Big 1.0’s OPness, she had major weakness. She hard countered dive and flankers, but in turn is hard countered by long range DPS with the damage to break her shield and reduce her to an armour pack dispenser.
Give Brig 1.0 a buff to health/armor and she might work well as OW2 tank.
