Some cool fact about this released version of the hero
150 burst dmg with no counterplay (Shield bash went thru everything except bubble or fortify), shield means nothing to her if she can just bash thru it
Design to counter dive, especially Tracer. She did, as well as the entire roster except for Doomfist
^ The reason why Doom was meta back then, since only Doom was able to get rid of her reliably. Dont bring Mccree to this, he could not unload 6 bullets fast enough to kill her
Create GOATS, yes another reason doom was meta, go thru shield? Why not ?
-A nanoed brig, especially a NANOED RALLYING brig was actually a raid boss, even more terrifying than a nano blade. U literally cant kill her. I remember old Fitzy that he unleased a whole clip on frozen Brig head at close range and shes still alive
Getting rid of her shield was a joke, how good is your aim to shoot a shield with that size hitbox before she engage u?
Almost enable a meta where she combo with Rein shatter, Im glad they nerf it as soon as possible when someone brought into pro scene
An instant 150 heal from far far away. Who would have thought?, a single click and your carrying widow from top of the hill full health again, and she can also get some extra armor
Enable a 475 effectively hp Zenyatta
Totally destroy reaper and soldier, if they see u approach as brig. They r dead
Allow a bunch of bronze to get to GM simply by one tricking her. Bruh just press W and M1
Don’t mind me, just adding this topic to the gargantuan colossal examples of topics going “remember how bad launch brig was hehe” which always get made right after or before a brig nerf/announcement she’s getting nerfed, or when people have formed an angry mob campaigning to nerf her
(yes Briggy is what I changed my Taiga account’s name to before it got perma’d because I made a joke thread about a bunch of fake Brig nerfs poking fun at the nonstop nerfing of her, and people seized the opportunity to mass flag me as spam)
no one requested 25 extra hp or a 250 shield. the devs gave her extra hp because they saw her pickrates in lower ranks and her death rate and buffed her even though she was already meta and her shield was buffed simply because her shield was literal dog and brig 2.0 was probably the weakest form of her and most boring
so I must be blinded seeing all those posts then. And boring playstyle, u say? This is the most interesting playstyle i’ve seen. Right now, she is rewarded for quick reflex in exchange for aiming, u know awareness, you got upper hand. I prefer this kind of effectiveness rather than creating a monster aiming at Tracer but instead killing the whole game
Have you ever tried to track Tracer with whipshot? That ability hitbox is so forgiving to hit. And shes not repair pack station , she can deny literally the entire area around your main sp, just by whip shot. Try it urself and see it how ez to hit and keep Inspire uptime. And how 1 whipshot deny all the flankers away :))
And Tracer vs Brig is a skill matchup, U speak like Tracer hard coutner Brig. As if u heard her blink toward u, release a whole clip without any response
brig is easy to prock inspire, and whether you like it or not she is a repair pack station. and tracers hit box is more forgiving then whipshot’s. even the best brig player said that tracer even counters brig now. it’s not about denying space at this point
