Really, another Brig nerf?

From today’s patch:

  • Enemy barriers now block line-of-sight for Brigitte’s Rally.
  • Fixed a bug where armor damage mitigation was too effective when multiple instances of armor were stacked on top of each other.

Now the armor layering thing was expected, so gg for fixing that Blizzard.

But what the hell are you even thinking with nerfing Rally again? It’s already the worst support ult in the game, not to mention Jeff himself agreed that she’s currently garbage outside of one singular comp.

Why on earth would you do anything to make it worse at this point?

Where are you seeing this?

Its in the bug fixes. Its a bug fix but also a nerf. Kinda surprised it went unnoticed for over a year.

Brig’s basically a bite-sized roadhog at this point, ult charge. But with even less threat.

But she doesnt have a big hitbox like him, and she sits behind a shield. I guess every hero is a bite-sized roadhog for ult charge.

Yeah giving her ult some modicum of interactivity and fixing a bug that made her ult too strong. To answer your question: Really.

The barrier thig is a huge nerf if you use it in midfights. It wont affect the ult for initiating the push.

However, the armor-stacking fix is a huge (deserved) nerf. I hope they will buff brigitte at the end.

She was OP forever, there’s nothing wrong with fixing her ult if its bugged. If its too weak then it can be buffed. There is a price to pay for playing the lowest mechanically challenging kit in the game.

Yeah I agree with you with this big nerf she needssome kinf of buff

But this bug was known just few days ago so it s probably an emmergency bug fix they will probably buff her /rework her for 2/2/2

Nice, let’s nerf a hero already niche

it does sound like an emergency fix and i hope its not. i hope that they knew for a while and then we caught on because if not then i expect brig’s rally to feel like it hardly gives armor now but ill see when i play.

poor girl needs a buff at this point

Barriers block LoS for Lucio healing, Soundbarrier, moira healing, inspire, baptiste healing burst, and tranquility. AoE heals/overheals are always blocked by shields. It probably was unintended that it went through shields.

bugs should be fixed even if they result in buffs or nerfs
