Solution for Shield Bash

Competitive Discussion

Cooldown from 5 to 6 seconds
If the Shield Bash lands on an enemy, the shield will be damaged by 100 hp, this will make Shield Bash more dangerous to use.

That’s a pretty neat idea!

I like the consumption of shield energy when the bash is used - that will limit her defensive sustainability if she chooses to use it too aggressively all the time.

Edit: you could further balance it by tieing in the energy consumption to the max HP of the target Ă· 2.

i.e

150HP hero = 75 shield energy lost
200HP hero = 100
.
.
.
600HP hero = 300 shield lost

That way it gives a disincentive to use it v.s. tanks (+ it makes sense that a higher HP target damages the shield more)

I like it :slight_smile:

Ooh one more thought - if you don’t have the shield energy available (or not enough energy - say only 50 remaining), would the shield bash still work or would you make it so the bash fails if you haven’t got the energy to back up.the attempt?

I think it would be that the bash would be succesful, but your shield would break, having a 2 second cooldown to put it up again.

Maybe 100 Hp wouldn’t matter, i thought on a Nerf like this, but with the shield breaking completely, even without the shield, She has 250 Hp with armor and heal herself and punch you in the face att the same time. This Nerf wouldn’t erase her since the shield regenerates faster than the cooldown, but would make shield bash dangerous for her too.

Loving this idea - I think you may have cracked it…hope you get a dev blue post reply to this…

Exactly - it makes her into more of a risk / reward character and I think it all makes too much sense not to implement.

Remember that Hanzo and Sym rework be coming out, the counters to Brigitte are burst damage, killing her fast enough before she can peal.
Edit: this will make her more skillful

Imo, either up the cooldown a lot or make it stun for way less time. The numbers on it right now are frankly absurd.

I would say 6 or 7 seconds are okay, she needs to be the anti-dive character that blizzard promised us, but right now she is a stunner.
