You have a real chance to make Brigitte a more skillful character, and you’re going in the opposite direction. Inspire isn’t exciting, it’s just something that happens and gives you value, and now Brigitte is going to be even less active than before.
If anything, you should nerf Inspire and put more power into other parts of her kit. Give her a faster whipshot so Brigittes can snipe people, or a shorter cooldown on her armour pack. I don’t think anyone really likes Inspire that much.
Do you think a hero with excessively high winrates, needs a strong buff after getting nerfed?
After becoming a trollpick due to her inability to threaten any flankers or a dive comp now ? Yes, yes I do.
My main problem with the Brig buff is that it is so miniscule that it shouldn’t even count as one…
You know when Inspire effects still trigger when she’s dead so she looks like some glowing corpse?
Yeah its just gonna be more of that, with the animation lasting a second longer.
Because thats all this “buff” really is. It doesn’t help her at all.
If she uses all her abilities on a flanker she now deals a total of like 110 dmg ish, what will the flanker do ? Blink or dash away to nearest healthkit, heal up, go back and harass with brig having all her cooldowns spent, except repairpack, and then flanker is free to harass the backline pretty much freely.
And that’s perfectly fine. Tracer didn’t get a kill and had to run away. Mission accomplished.
Except, as I said, she will just get a healthpack, and most of the cases her Recall will still be up due to her having 40 hp left, which means even if brig got in another swing she wouldnt die, she would blink to a healthkit, pick it up, And go right back to harassing, with recall up.
All the band-aid compensation ‘buff’ will do is move her closer to a Lucio role (but with less healing, harder boop, less damage, and less speed than Lucio)
But don’t worry, she has a 500HP wet leaf shield to survive a little bit with (just ignore how anyone can shatter it with one clip of ammo usually)
If your are protecting a teammate, and that teammate is looking straight at the tracer for 1 second. (Probably more because of range)
Do you really think it’s unreasonable for that teammate, who is looking right at tracer, to shoot once at her?
Same with Genji too. New Brig will just end up increasing enemy flankers and their healer’s ult%s aka ult battery
It’s not fine is just giving the Flanker a sure team wipe on a second assault.
It’s unfair and puts a character into uselessness. It would be the same allowing Tracer only to use her melee attack after blinking.
A troll pick? You haven’t even played her. This is why the devs don’t come on the forums.
Lol not even close.
Just toss a repair pack on, and heal with the whip for over 200hp
Tracer really sucks against armor
Much less an overheal
Yeah I can make up numbers too.
Considering most people don’t follow up on sleepdart even after you have called it multiple times… With random people pretty much yea.
If you had read through my post without commenting instantly you’d figure out that I mean she will be a troll pick after her incoming nerfs.
Please stop showing us misinformation. That is from patch 1.27 which was 3 months ago or so.
Not just that, that only shows winrates. No other stats like pick rates which are also important.
The heal aura procts for at least 100, and the repair pack is 150hp and up to 75armor on overheal.
So if someone is at 25ho, Brig will at a minimum heal a 200hp player plus a 75 armor overall.
I think you need inspire to be stronger to give her more value during the actual teamfight. She can’t instantly delete heroes anymore. She can still do damage. Her new flail-bash-whip combo does 110dmg. That’s still good but not as good as 155. So making up for it with better healing is a start. I actually think they would be justified in increasing her hp to 300 if they really want to go down the tank/support hybrid route.
