Iā€™m so grateful to you for listening to feedback and leaving her stun alone! Iā€™m so happy right now :smile:

Yeah they should nerf the heals instead.

Theyā€™ve already nerfed the healing and armour. She feels a lot weaker than before, but she feels perfect.

I donā€™t feel like they need to make any changes to Brigitte. Sure, the shield is quite weak but sheā€™s in a very good spot.

Sheā€™s not the OP monster dueller that she used to be, sheā€™s perfect.

I donā€™t get why everyone says this. She has similar output to lucio and she actually has to swing to do it.

Her armor stat isnā€™t accurate because It doesnā€™t show how much of that armor decayed and how much of it was used. If sound barrier had a stat theyā€™d probably be around the same ā€œhealingā€.

It was a nice surprise. Experimental mode is a fantastic way to test changes.

Thank you for not ruining Brigā€™s combo.

I ran duo with an Ana, and I had about 35-39% inspire uptime. I was putting out 15-19k heals per game. when I play with a Moira, I only get 12k heals but Iā€™ll beat the Moira sometimes. Brig can put out a lot of heals. It is hard though, and dangerous trying to have inspire up so much.

Put armor on top of all that heals, and youā€™re looking at way more sustain than Lucio can bring to the table.

Iā€™m not advocating for a nerf to Brigā€™s heals, but I am saying she can heal a lot if done right. The problem is that Brig can be a feast or famine sometimes, and really needs top coordination with the team.

Other support donā€™t need the same level of coordination compared to Brig.

Even though this 2nd stun duration nerf didnā€™t go live,

remember that Tracer/Genji/Doom can still use recall/deflect/swiftstrike/uppercut between getting bashed and getting whipped if theyā€™re fast enough, due to the previous stun duration nerf

The thing about brig though is that she needs support to do that. She only has 10 self heal per second and 70 dps per 1.2 seconds, any dps can take her in a 1v1 except maybe genji.

I very rarely outheal a Moira. It can happen, but only with a Zarya pocket, the other team ignoring me, and Moira cleaning up more than healing.

They didnā€™t nerf Brigg for the septillionth time in a row?!:sob::sob:

Oh itā€™s too good to be true!

She herself no longer is. But now her repair packs make everyone else on her team an unkillable dueler. Brig removes the entire concept of 1v1s as she can simply give a pack to the tracer in the enemy backline from an uncontestable range. This is the most frustrating healing mechanic in the game. Lucio, bap, moira or mercy doesnā€™t have the range. Ana stops healing the moment LOS is cut. Zen has only very weak heals for that reason, and thatā€™s his only healing resource.

She has a higher output to lucio (22 vs 16hps) with a more than twice as large AOE. It stays active for 5 seconds even if brig is dead.
According to the stats, brig has a heal output higher than lucio anywhere higher than diamond.

They should nerf the heals because itā€™s so annoying to play into, because itā€™s so extremely powerful on squishy heroes but without being in range and putting all your focus on one hero like with mercy. Also it makes heroes very tanky.

How is she awful, 55% winrate, highest out of all supports in every rank, pickrate good enough to get banned.

Tell me why she is awful.

She has a higher winrate in the lower ranks due to the accessibility of her kit.

If you look at her GM statistics, itā€™s in line with what a balanced healer looks like. Her winrate is only 2% higher than Anaā€™s but is picked 33% less.

If you look at her Diamond statistics, her pickrate is quite mediocre but she has a decent winrate.

She doesnā€™t stand out as anything more than balanced, unlike Ana.
