Im the worst brig ever, seriously im so trash with her.
Skill is more than just aim you know, its gamesense and understanding of role.

Let them have this one. This was actually something that Reinhardt mains were saying since day one of her release. She can still counter dive heroes which was her main purpose. I can live with this.

Ya… skills that EVERY OTHER hero requires as well. Why should the hero with the best CC and survivability get a free pass while also never having any mechanical skill requirement? No understanding of risk/reward?
“but mah game sense…blah blah”

Because she relies to heavily on it
McCree doesn’t need as good gamesense as Brig
Widow requires almost none

What about Reinhardt? His aim requirement is as high as Brigitte.

Exactly. Bash is a melee ability, if hers can’t go through shield, neither should dash.

Wasn’t its initial purpose to hit Tracer?

I’m a Brig defender, but I can agree with the devs on this one.

I wish they make the change just for rein because it will break Brigitte vs Brigitte because it no longer skill matchup but it will give passive Brigitte advantage against the other which encourage both to hold their shield when they are facing each other lowering her skill celling even more.

Exactly.

Everyone seems to be forgetting her purpose is to counter dive, not everything ground based. Which is why she cops so much hate from so much of the community.

Gotta heavily disagree there. I play both brig and cree and can say with confidence that mccree takes more gamesense and positioning. Mccree doesn’t have a 500 hp shield to pull up when endangered, he doesn’t have reliable mobility, he doesn’t have armor or self healing, and he has a very wide easy to hit hitbox. Widow also takes more positioning because her entire value comes from whether or not she has a shot on the enemy. If widow grappled to a poor sniping spot she’d have to sit there useless for a few seconds waiting for grapples cooldown.

How about they just stop Sombra from hacking that’s annoying, get rid of Dvas mech, and how about remove all weapons so all we can do is wave at each other. These nerfs are stupid.

PSHHHHT!

I love this change!
SB does way too much already, been saying it for months. Glad the devs agree.

Sombra’s Hack does stop when the target is SHIELDED

fantastic news! She was after all deisgned to counter dive heros, and NOT to make the life miserable for reinhardt.

that’s not how balance works.

let me give you examples of how asinine this statement sounds

If moira can throw orbs through rien shield, pharah should be able to shoot rockets through it and ana should be able to anti nade through it. they are all projectiles.

if zarya can get more damage because people shoot her shields, so should rien. they are both shielding abilities.

if McCree gets a reload with his roll, tracer genji should get a reload with dash. they are both movement abilities.

If you apply your logic to everything in the game youd understand why it doesn’t make sense.

To everyone comparing Shield Bash to melee abilities… Shield Bash is a stun. It shouldn’t have gone through Rein’s shield in the first place. Flashbang doesn’t go through his shield and it has a longer cooldown. You shouldn’t get a free stun on Rein just by standing in front of him.

Technically Rocket punch is a stun
