Stop using Tracer as an excuse for Brigitte being "balanced"

General Discussion

I’m getting sick and tired of seeing this opinion on the forums especially the one where these 200 IQ genius’s say she was balanced on launch and that she just countered Genji and Tracer when it was 2/3rds of the hero roster especially tanks. By your logic I could make any hero this OP and have them counter Tracer and Genji and they’d be “balanced”.

Do I think she’ll be balanced after her next nerf? Yes, less uptime for shield bash allows for heroes to play around her and it spares the main tanks keyboard or controller.

The people who use that excuse are usually brig mains that want her to still be op

And the ones that complain are usually wood league. Her pick rate is middling to meh any where high enough to be decent

Doesn’t excuse the fact that she made dive unplayable since her release to comp

It can take a season or 3 off. They are slowly balancing,

She was but using “She counters Tracer” as an excuse for her being balanced is a poor one at best.

That was actually Hanzo. Damaged boosted/discord boosted Storm arrows instantly kill everything. Can’t dive him cause he leaps away every few seconds. Brigitte makes their life hard, but doesn’t prevent them from being used, especially on maps with vertical terrain to abuse. Hanzo renders them unusable.

Yes, she might be balanced later with the upcoming range buff for dps

I mean she is balanced. If she was trash in her 6 meter range, why the hell would you play her?

Okay, but why does that matter? You’re complaining about launch Brigitte which doesn’t exist anymore.

I’m not understanding your argument here, unless you still think she’s OP?

The moment Winston dives on hanzo Winston becomes dead, no shield bash needed

I play her because she’s a tank/support hybrid it’s something I asked for a while, definitely don’t play her to cheese kill Tracer and Genji.

So you mean if she was garbage in melee range despite being a melee hero, you’d still play her? Even though you couldn’t do anything with her?

Dive being completely dominant or unplayable even without its counter being picked is an issue with divers.

That’s why bridgette’s pickrate isn’t through the roof. Rofl.

Yet her winrate is insane. The kind you only saw from one trick symms, except brigs pick rate is much higher compared to old symm.

Because like Sym, if she is working and the opposing team is letting her get away with it, they stay on her.
