It seems like 90% of games the enemy team is running Dive, Snipers, or Flanks (Sombra + Tracer). So I have to counter pick as Brigitte and hold right click all game just to stay alive longer than 5 seconds. Especially if we don’t have a Tank willing to shield. Which is most of the time because everyone is running D.Va now. Now I don’t mind playing Brig, but having her be a must-pick every single game is getting old.
I am just as unhappy about it as you. Only because I feel Brigitte is useless and support is almost always picking her in my lobbies. Only on my team, of course.
What frustrates me is that there’s not a lot of high ground to feel safe on and out of danger since there’s a lot of high ground area that are accessible to most heroes. Even then it kinda sucks going Brig if you’re going to hyper focused.
Last game I had more MIT as Brig than our Tank who went Orisa vs Doom, Hanzo, S76, Ana, LW. If I try to play any Support other than Brig, I instantly die from a Dive Tank + Sojourn / Widow / Hanzo / Ana / S76 / Ashe / Kiriko. Baptiste can avoid getting one tapped, but he’s weak to dive. Moira can handle dive, but gets one tapped. For Tanks, only Winston / D.Va / Rein seem somewhat viable right now, and if there’s also a flanker in the back line, then it’s only D.Va or Winston.
You’re speaking like Brigitte is an unfun hero to play, perhaps Blizzard should work more on that?
We can’t have a fun Brig, that would kill the game again. /s
i wish they didnt ruin brig. she used to be fun. now you just spam repair packs and die because shes giant and has only a paper bag for defense
Yeah literally just sit in the back line holding up shield then press E every 5 seconds.
