And that’s Brig’s and DF’s fault? Go off sis. People got to GM with Sym, Torb and Bastion. 2 characters (who aren’t even meta) are not the reason you dropped out of top 500.
It’s not even been a week, lol. Also, welcome to balancing. There’s always gonna be strong and weak heroes, because that’s how meta works. Soldier and Mccree just aren’t that great in the meta.
Brig’s so OP that she’s not even meta.
I 
was making a joke
Meta
You should be playing it
If you chose non meta characters and lose, once again. THAT IS ON YOU
Her shield only covers her, and only from the front. It also only has 500 health, which can and will get shredded if she sits there with her shield up. Not only that, but if she’s sitting there with her shield up, she’s not contributing with the fuction she’s meant to perform.
It’s only consistent if she’s in the middle of a team fight in melee range, which puts her at risk. Inspire is a very low heal per second when it is up, and isn’t likely going to be saving anybody from focused, sustained dps. Not only that, Inspire has more requisite to it than just hitting someone and getting 5 seconds of uptime. Only teammates who are in range AND in line of sight when you get the hit and remain in range and in line of sight will receive the healing from Inspire during its uptime.
What? She doesn’t have a resurrect ability. That’s exclusive to Mercy. Brigitte’s burst heal is fine. It has travel time, and it’s on a cooldown. In fact, low teammates who are far away will often die before it reaches them, wasting the cooldown entirely.
First, she’s supposed to be a deterrent to flankers. She was literally put in the game for the express purpose of peeling flankers from the backline. That’s her working as intended. She does not have wall hacks. She can use third person with her shield to look around corners. Know who else can look around corners in third person with abilities that they have? Reinhardt and Wrecking Ball. Not only that, but every character in the game can look around corners in third person with emotes. It’s not as broken as you think it is.
I’d be willing to bet any amount of money that you can’t beat my Mei, Pharah, Junkrat, Widowmaker, Hanzo, or Torb in a 1v1 with your Brigitte. In fact, I’d probably beat your Brigitte in a 1v1 with any dps, any tank except maybe Winston, and like three of the healers(Moira, Ana, and Lucio).
She’s supposed to just stop the possibility of any and all flanks. A VITAL strategy to the game, that has existed since all time. A fundamental part of playing dps, she is just supposed to make impossible.
What an amazing statement to come from someone who is defending a characters as not astronomically unbalanced.
Wins every 1v1, is a tank, and a support, oh and btw stops any and all flanking from happening, AND she’s ultra low skill. Beautiful.
you can’t beat my Mei Pharah Torb 1v1s!
Amazing point. 10/10. If they have range, or can survive past her 200 damage combo they can win.
Also, you do not beat a defending brigette as junkrat, widow, hanzo. You lose to her. Everytime. Because you don’t know where she is, and she has walls on you. You have to move into her.
I found your issue.
Yah, if you are flanking on attack, you have to do this thing where you move into the enemy, and not vise versa.
someone flanking is where 1v1’s happen, and brigette doesn’t seek them out. She just stops them from happening when she suspects that one might be happening, or sees it occurring with her walls.
Fixed it for you since not everyone has your problems with Brigitte
Do you understand what flank is? Or when and where 1v1s happen?
Bridgette doesn’t flank. She’s not a flanking character. She stops anyone who tries to flank by killing them 1v1. This is my point.
So she can accomplish one of her intended purposes
NERF HER NOW
Characters should not be able to accomplish what they were designed for, this is completely unbalanced.
So, you’re gonna move into the enemy team to flank as Hanzo, Widow and Junkrat when you know the enemy team has Brig?
You mean when she looks around a corner in third person?
Who in the christ came up with intended purposes. When soldier was made, what was his intended purpose? What about tracer? Was it not to be able to flank?
Seriously, who came up with idea that charachters had intended purposes.
And in what galaxy is having the intended purpose to win every 1v1, as a support, that takes no skill, FAIR? How is that fair?
If she was at least as high skill as ana, or zen i’d go whatever. I can win the 1v1 if i just outplay her enough. You can’t win the 1v1 unless you are literally mei torb or higher than she can reach as pharah.
She doesn’t completely shut down any and all flanks, though. Smart flankers can still use their superior mobility to get around her and be annoying in the backline. Forcing Brigitte to come peel for the snipers or other healer(s) in the backline takes her away from healing the front line. At which point, you out-range her and keep poking, forcing her to continue to peel for the backline so that your team kills the front line. Obviously the superior option against Brigitte is to go heavy ranged damage or splash damage, but flanking is still viable against her if you’re smart about it. You just have to have proper awareness and not hold W+M1 at her like a bot.
She isn’t ultra low skill. She requires low mechanical execution, and she’s easy to pick up, yes. However, she very much requires the same sort of skillset as Reinhardt being in the team fight at melee range, while simultaneously having to juggle the skills of healing for her team and peeling for the backline. That’s far from “low skill,” in my opinion, and it actually takes quite a bit of game sense and thought process to play her correctly.
She doesn’t win every 1v1. And you can absolutely kill a defending Brigitte in a 1v1 so long as you exercise proper awareness and caution and you respect the small space that she’s actually able to control. Her effective range is six meters. Objectives in this game are larger than six meters, and there are multiple ways to attack players on any objective from outside the objective in any situation.
What it sounds like to me is that you’ve made no effort to try and learn how to play around and deal with an enemy Brigitte, and would rather just complain constantly and hope that they nerf her into complete uselessness. The problem isn’t Brigitte. The problem is sitting between your chair and your keyboard. 
Blizzard during character conception and design
Brigitte isn’t designed to win every 1v1. Playes thinking they are better than they actually are give her that ability
You cannot flank as soldier or mccree against a Bridgette. You are simply incorrect.
Maybe if you’re in diamond or whatever rank you play at, but against gm Bridgette’s it will not happen. You will die.
First of all, that’s only two characters. If she’s giving you trouble, try doing something else or switching characters. It’s not rocket science. Secondly, you absolutely can. Exercise awareness and caution. Take flanking routes that she’s not covering. Use your superior range to deal with her. In the case of Soldier 76, you have an extreme advantage in mobility. You can sprint. Brigitte can’t. Take a positional advantage and use it.
Also, just looking at your description of flanking, you clearly don’t have a proper understanding of what flanking is. Flanking isn’t just sneaking into the backline and mowing down healers/snipers. Flanking is getting around and using positional advantages to kill or harass the backline. Harassing is key here. You do not have to kill the backline to do your job as a flanker. You do not have to be right up close to people to do your job as a flanker. If I make my way around to the side and take some high ground, shooting at the backline from a distance, which forces the enemy team to come try and peel, thus reducing their overall effectiveness because of my team attacking from the front, I’m still doing my job as a flanker correctly.
You talk about rank and how I may be lower rank than you, but it seems to me like you might be boosted, as you really don’t seem to have an understanding of some very basic tactics and strategies.
Edit: I’d also like to point out that you’ve only won 1 out of your 4 games where you played as Brigitte. For such a no-skill, braindead, easy to win with character, you sure haven’t done well with her. Maybe she really isn’t as broken as you claim, and maybe you don’t actually know a thing about the character.
Who’s ready for some punishment? Ô_Ó’
it doesnt need to go away lol. just be 300 hp or less. no need to make charecters unplayable lol
I never said easy to win with. Find that quote. It’s not about whether she’s winning or not, it’s about whether she stops others from being able to play 80% of the dps roster.
Secondly, 1/4 isn’t a very large sample size. Do you want me to start maining her to see what my winrate is? No, thanks. Same reason I don’t play doomfist, I don’t like feeling like scum. Here and there if my team begs me and i don’t mind I might play a specific character, but if i don’t have a good reason i’m not going to try to sit on a scum character.
I wasn’t aware that Brigitte prevented me from picking a character at character select. Oh wait. She doesn’t, and I and many others don’t have trouble with her. I can deal with Brigitte pretty well on any of the dps. What you should have said is “she stops -me- from being able to play 80% of the dps roster,” because you don’t speak for everyone…only yourself. And again, that sounds like a you problem rather than a Brigitte problem.
You’re right. 1 out of 4 is not a large sample size, but that just further drives home the point that I made. You’ve played the character for less than an hour. You do not have a full understanding of the character and have made no effort to learn how to deal with her properly. Like I said before, rather than put in the effort and improve yourself, you would rather just complain and hope that the dev team nerfs the character you don’t like into uselessness. You’re just another player that looks to blame their inadequacies on the game rather than your own incompetence.
How about you actually make an effort to improve instead of just crying? If you were playing Super Mario Bros., and you kept running into the first goomba and dying over and over, what are you going to do? Are you going to keep running into that goomba over and over? No. You’re going to find the jump button that allows you to deal with that goomba, because that goomba isn’t going to just be magically gone from the game in a future update. Quit your crying.
OKay, bridgette can have no shield…but brigitte keeps her
