Hello there, as many of you well know there are many posts like these.
But, let’s talk.
BRIG IS NOT OP.
Barrier
Her shield is only in the game because she is a melee range hero, and it is not op to have a shield and have melee range.
weakness: She can be killed with ease by shooting at the 250 hp barrier and then shooting brig, as she cannot defend herself in anyway if her barrier is down and there is sufficient distance between her and her attacker.
Repair pack
Simply put, it is not very powerful due to the heal over time that it dose, and there is a long CD.
weakness: She cannot out heal most attacks on her allies without said allie moving to safety. In addition, if she uses her repair packs up during a heavy fire fight, she will have no way other than charging into the enemy to heal her team (which would make her an easy target if focused by 1-2 enemies).
Wipshot
Brig’s wipshot is far from OP. It is like lucio’s right click, but unlike lucio who heals his team constantly, brig typically needs to use wipsht for personal defence and to help heal her team.
weakness: It has a relatively small hit box, and is rarely used as a boop ability, but rather to heal brig’s team.
Stun
The ability that people complain about the most. I must admit, it is a little OP in that no other healer has a stun ability— and that is precisely what makes Brig special. For example, zenyatta has an ability that puts an orb that makes enemies take 130% damage. IS THAT NOT OP AND BROKEN? And yes, I get the argument that oh, but brig has a BoOp AnD a StUN… Oh No…NEEEEEEERRF!!! But lets be real, there are other heroes that have more than 1 good ability, like Mei for example, she can put up a wall to stop a push or block and ult and she has the ability to survive any ult herself by pressing shift.
note: Overwatch is overwatch because there are different heroes with different abilitys that do cool stuff.
weakness: almost no brig hater will admit this oppressive weakness,BRIG CAN’T USE STUN WITHOUT A SHIELD. So, logically, if you shoot the shield, she can’t use it to protect herself or to stun. AND,! yes, there is an ‘and’. AND, she needs to be close to the stun target to use stun on them.
Rally
A mighty ability indeed, but it has a great many drawbacks. Rally Is only useful to brig’s allies if they are close to her, so an uncoordinated team may not get brig’s ult armor. Rally is also a relatively short duration ult, as most of the ult’s life time is building up the armor, which if there is not yet enough when attacked, one might find themselves watching the kill cam or spectating a teammate. The speed boost in brig’s rally is both good and bad, as it provides a way to rush into the enemy, but once at the enemy, brig rally will either be no match for the enemy’s damage, or it will run out and brig and her allies won’t be able to run out like they ran in.
summery/weakness: brig’s rally provides a false sense of security, which may led to some 1v6 type moves. It also doesn’t provide burst healing like many other healers’ ults.
