Agreed. But I don’t wanna make this a symm thread tbh

Awfully convenient, as is the OP’s not believing in “signtaure” abilities. As if McCree could be McCree without the revolver, or Rein without a giant melee weapon and shield. Or D.va without a mech.
Brigitte will always have a shield. Her core character is built around it. It features in her art, her emotes, her voice lines, and her abilities. It is part of her “gold gun” kit, etc. It will not be removed, and cannot be without completely re-making the character (including all of her graphical assets).
As radical as the changes to Symmetra have been, they do not come close to what is proposed here (which is why it cannot be taken seriously). Nothing central to Sym’s character concepts has ever been removed, even though they struggle to decide exactly how that concept should translate into in-game abilities!

She probably needs to be turned into more of range character to make her work instead of melee.
So funny enough when brig first launched i was like “600 HP is too much for a barrier for a support/tank hybrid” and this thought was consistent throughout her changes on her shields HP, i always thought 300 HP would of bin the Fair number for a Shield, it can Offer some protection, but is also destroyable at a reasonable rate. It should have Always been 300 and should have been 300 not 200 when they made the “re-work”.
Removing her shield would be A LOT OF WORK for blizzard, would have to redo any highlights that have it and emotes on top of a Full Re-work of the character.

Yeah I guess you weren’t a sym fan yourself we can disagree on this one.
But yeah I agree with you brig losing her shields isn’t that cool.
But brig without shield pales in comparison to what they did to sym. She lost everything and was built from the ground back up. Pierce was central to her so was lock on. She use to be the only shield support where’s that. Gone that’s where
You could technically keep all that if you keep the shield animation for shield bash. Still would look dumb if she had a shield but never used it except in that specific instance.
I do. Devs don’t. So they shouldn’t shy from it.
I disagree. I would prefer old 1.0 symm to 3.
Abilities do not a hero make. And shield is a mere one ability. This isn’t symm. It’s mercy

You taking everything people say and give simple examples in a vaccuum doesn’t change the fact that you’re comparing apples and oranges. That’s not how you argue.
You listed tools that other healers don’t have to “validate” the overpower status of a 200hp shield, while completely ignoring the other healers mobility and damage potential. That’s delusional.
Or in her ultimate and only her ultimate. Like her rally highlight
Where? I’m pretty good at looking at the Crux of a post imo.
What have I said that is false in context?
Are you really suggesting Brig needs a nerf?
I mean, her durability as a strength is a real contrast to other healers, so I don’t see why you’d want to homogenise heroes like this either.
Change…idk how everyone ignores the
“Buff her healing” part
Since she has a high death count…I’ma disagree
Do you even trust the devs to be able to make a change like this and still keep the characters best interests in mind.
We are working with overwatchs balance team ya know
Then clearly her durability is insufficient…
which is it? do you want her to be a ranged healer or a melee healer??
Not really in the sense of I hate … Every rework other than Lucio.
But I do still think the merits of ‘someone like this change’ is okayish.
Or she’s in need of work in general. 
She currently heals from a distance. I like melee. She just doesn’t need to tie her heals to it
Hot damn. Thats a lot of replying…
For everyone who hasnt already realized, the OP is blatant satire and sarcasm.

She would have to have something decent in it’s place. I don’t really see her fulfilling a role that is not filled by other supports besides being able to provide one person with temp armor every six seconds.
