QOL idea change for Brigitte's Armor Pack HUD

I have this really clever idea that occurred to me when I was playing Overwatch today. I think it would be really intuitive to have a little loading bar on Brig’s armor pack HUD to indicate the cooldown recharge. If you use multiple at once, it would be a little tricky as it would slide to the side and move when using another armor pack and that could be a little disruptive visually but I really like this idea. Thoughts?

LOVE it. Please implement ASAP. Would also really love some indicator for inspire’s time/when inspire is ready to be procced again, stuff like that, as I’m always kinda guessing

(also while we’re talking about quality of life for Brig, please remove her “damage blocked” stat from tab menu and replace with whip accuracy!

(Finally please think about disabling her “My shield can’t take much more!” voice since she says it every time a single nade/rocket/helix/mine/widow shot/torb-hog-reaper shot/sym orb hits it ONCE)

Thanks buddy! How’d you even reply so quickly?! Also yeah I would like to see some inspire changes too. Maybe the radius of inspire and some subtle indicators of it as well.

:fast_forward: Im just fast in Brig-related threads :fast_forward:

Or it fills up from the bottom to the top.

Yeah I think either would work TBH - just SOME kind of visual marker that gives me a better handle on timing the armor packs. Right now I can’t really predict how long they’ll take because there’s nothing visual to tell me, and I tend to learn timing more through images than anything else.

There’s a little circle around the number under your Armor Pack UI on the bottom right of the screen that indicates when a pack recharges.

I’ll have to keep an eye out, so far all I’ve noticed is the three little indicators at the bottom on whether or not you have armor packs and if they’re in/out of stock so to speak. But then I don’t play Brig much, I only tried her once or twice in the last few months out of curiosity.

You don’t need to wait a timer or something, you can constantly re-procc it with 1 sec cooldown between re-proccs, if you constantly hit a target with your M1 you’ll re-procc it on alternate hits. It’s hard to know it because it’s an effect, so a different number of teammates can be effected through different moments, it’s like triggering Baptiste’s Regenerative Burst effect every time you hit an enemy (there’s the 1 sec cooldown as said before).

True, it can be hard to keep track of during a heated battle sometimes, I was mainly talking about not knowing when inspire healing wears off, there’s no indication it’s taking place other than the easy to miss initial yellow disc that comes out and you gotta mentally just guess when 6 seconds ends lol
