I don’t know what to say LOL
Counter picking doesn’t work anymore, it’s an obsolete term
Can you please answer this question
Who is the best support to play around an ally brig?
The best support to play with a brig or against a brig? Either would depend with brig being super position heavy there’s a world where lifeweaver could, but his heals are meh… He could be a definite counter to rally though
There are other characters in the game that require even more counterplay.
If the enemy team has a Widow or a Pharah then that automatically forces you to switch.
Brig isn’t as bad.
Kiriko is a good match with and against brig rally, Lucio is good for speed boost, Zen is good for discord… I can play brig with any support and make it work but the easiest games are probably with bap
I’m a Brig main and I both love and are scared of the change.
First off, they said her ult rework will take all new animations, effects and voicelines. Aaron did on twitter at least so that felt like a let down. I’m getting monumentally fed up with their stance on nerfing something unrelated. Game development isn’t an RPG, stop thinking you need to get points from one branch to allocate to another. The big shield thing just doesn’t feel “right”. It’s a good ult but it I guess silly comes to mind. Not clean. I rather they turn Brig into Orisa’s old ult and allow her regular shield to bash, along with faster attack speed. It also tells me how wish washy they are because they DESTROYED OW to get rid of 2 main things, double shields and crowd control, but they are sort of bringing it back while not at the same time
And honestly a mercy sym bastion cancer combo would melt brig in her ult and in ow 1 there was only 1 ability that cleansed Zarya Buble and that was a single charge, my bad wraith does as well but it didn’t stop the stun unless used before bash… There are more abilities that cleanse status
Playing with a brig.
I’m kinda unhappy that they nerfed her Repair Pack range by like 15%. Brig felt really good and really strong as a dive hero thanks to her lingering heal’s range, able to follow Winstons & WreckingBalls into the backline beyond los.
This change seems to make her stronger with Rein rush, and weaker with Ball dive, which I’m not a fan of. I think Brig is more fun in dive than rush, where Rein does most of her positioning work for her.
But, I haven’t tried the changes yet. Need to see how they play out.

I wouldn’t get too confortable with these changes. After the rest of the OW community (and streamers like Samito) complain enough, Blizzard is going to pull a mercy on Brig. Here will be Season 5 patch notes:
Brig Ult no longer provides larger shield.
Brig Ult no longer provides 750 shield.
Brig Ult no longer stuns.
Brig Ult no longer provides Brig 100 armor.
Brig ammo pack distance has been reverted back 30m.
Brig ammo pack distance will be reduced to 15m when any combat, emotes, or voicelines are activated by any player on any team anywhere within the map.
Notes: We felt we overtuned Brig’s ammo pack distance, so we reverted it back and made some slight adjustments. Due to overwhelming community feedback about Brig’s Ult, we decided that no common ground could be found, so we reverted the change back.
What blizzard doesn’t say: Brig ULT no longer provides personal overhealing to Brig.
New bug introduced: Brig can no longer cancel animation whipshot, bash, or primary fire. There will be a .5s delay before brig can move, use shield, use primary fire, emote, or breath after a successful whipshot.

Brig needed an updated/upgraded ult.
An ult should something emblematic and powerful for the hero using it and something the enemy team should be careful about.
Current rally although useful, has to be one of the lamest ult in the game’s history.
They have added a unique ult and utility to Brig which is what I personally wanted.
Is it op? Who knows, maybe, maybe not. The values can always be adjusted.

“Guys don’t go on my roadhog thread reeeee” 
No one cares bro.
I think you’re forgetting she got her ult cost buffed in season 3 and can easily get an ult every fight
Im a dps main and I hate these changes with all my heart. There is a reason nobody played ow1 past 2018…
The repair pack nerf could be significant imo. I think it’s going to hurt her niche as the best dive hero/overextending Rein healer.
We will have to see how the loss of 5m plays out in game.
Sure, the current ‘Rally’ is a crappy lucio ult when used defensively. But I never used it this way. The real value is to use it offensively imo. I think it’s pretty great situationally.
On its own, just popping it can inspire a team rush due to your 30% mov speed buff. Literally “ Rally to me”. Huge if you have docile/apprehensive teammates.
It combos really well with cc ults like blizzard, shatter, or Zarya grav.
The kitsune rush combo is an absolute blast. If you position well you just clean up & being the leading contributor to a team wipe is possible.
The movement speed nerf is going to force you to use this ult defensively now imo. I don’t see any reason to nano her anymore either.
As a defensive ult, on paper this looks a lot better than what we have now. But it’s still not on par with lucio’s soundbarrier. Popping the ult is still not going to save your team from a riptire, blizzard, or sigma ult for example like lucio’s will.
What’s the point of morphing into mini Rein if your tank is still up? Thoughts anyone?
Again we’ll see how it plays out when this goes live, but my thought is this ult will be best saved for when A.) Tank goes down, B.) Last stand on obj/payload
“Offense is the best defense”, I get it, but I’m not quite sure if diving an ulting hero is supposed to be the go-to option most of the time.

I personally enjoy playing brig with dive
tank compositions (doom/ball/monkey), especially on push maps. I (brig) play primary tank role (using cover of the robot/payload) while the tank is diving the enemies backline. This Ult will certainly compliment that play style.
I do agree that the 25m armor pack is going to hurt this particular play style abit. While on the robot/payload, 30m is usually just enough to feed the tank heals. We shall see.
It’s only 0.3 seconds IIRC? So it’s a pretty short time frame but in pro play and top 500 that can still be devastating still tho I think she’ll mostly be fine with maybe a small nerf if needed.
Lucio have 1200hp, and all his teammates too
I feel ya!
Super excited for Raid Boss Brig in ultimate. I feel like Brig’s ultimate is going to be like the raid countdown in WoW.
