This is a 4am thought but here goes.
- Inspire is gone, an ability like Reaper’s might replace, something that only affects Brigitte.
- Repair Pack doesn’t give excess armour but heals for 200
- Shield Bash no longer stuns but still keeps damage (for tracer combo but I’m not sure how that would work in practice), perhaps turns to a movement-style ability such as Hanzo’s leap with increased distance
- Rocket Flail buffed damage or range)
- Whipshot has no knock back in return for buffed damage (not too worried about this one)
- Shield only has 300 health (so she can have less stalling potential and it makes it less of a threat for when she slowly walks towards you and you’re alone)
- EDIT: I just remembered burst healing sucks so I’m thinking like an amp it up for her Reaper-ish ability
- EDIT 2: Lower or no speed boost when using her ult. I already accept death when a Brigitte’s coming towards me I don’t need her to be going sonic-speed.
To me, most of these ideas are terrible but I hope that the Overwatch team will be able to take something from this. The only idea I really like is the Shield Bash replacement, I think it would make Brigitte a lot more enjoyable to play against.

lmao I feel you but we gotta make up for her healing somehow
200 instand heal, hell no, the burst healing in this game is getting annoying enought.
there are some good ideas for brigitte on redit and the forum, but to bad blizz will not listen like they ever do

This is just a rework.
A rework Brigitte doesn’t need.
And there is one massive problem with your rework suggestion.
Brigitte will not be a counter to dive heroes like Tracer anymore.
She need her stun for that.

I’m guessing you like dive all the time? Especially Tracer…
That’s actually a really good idea

I honestly think it’s an amazing idea. I would much rather be able to still jump and shoot rather than not be able to use anything and take 150 combo damage. It’s like Junkrat’s trap but it actually makes sense.

No, Brig was fine to begin with and was still nerfed, leave her alone.

All Brigitte needs is to either stop or reduce the effectiveness of stunning someone through an opponent’s shield barrier. For example, if she tries to stun a Reinhardt through the front of his barrier shield then it’ll either just damage and knock him back shortly or it’ll stun for a shorter duration while perhaps also knocking him back and damaging.
@Zakharon, in what world was brig fine at the beginning, Bronze trier players able to climb and stay in GM and Masters with a new Hero.
I think the best QoL change would be: Brig stunnes all targets who have the same size as her, and Tanks dont get stuned, just the damage
Her ultimate literally caused armor creep which then started the double sniper/GravDragon meta
Possible Brigitte changes.
- Remove from game. (just kidding in case people wanna take me seriously)

Nah, Inspire is fine.
That’s much more powerful than it already is, and it’s already extremely powerful.
Unpopular opinion from someone who doesn’t like Brigitte at all incoming…I think Shield Bash is fine.
Rocket Flail is fine.
Also fine.
Wouldn’t actually do her as much harm as a lot of Brigitteers say it would. If they’re actually good at Brigitte they should know they shouldn’t be nearly exposed enough at any point to somehow lose their entire Shield while not having at least Inspire ticking or their Tank very nearby to cover for them. It’s literally only a problem if they’re horribly out of position.
Eh, Rally’s best use is before a Team Fight anyway, I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Remove her stun and you remove her entire purpose. She was made to counter flankers. Without it she’s just a mediocre half healer half dps
