Both are (were) overpowered, is that arguable? Both were vastly outperforming most or all other heroes in their roles. Brigs winrate is among the highest in the entire game at every rank, whether they pick her constantly (like they do in GM) or not. But, I feel like you’re missing the point of the balance changes
These balance changes hopefully accomplish 2 things…
More shield HP makes her more playable in lower ranks
Removing overheal/armor makes her less oppressive in higher ranks
If you ask me…the changes are a pretty good equalizer. They should bring Brig up in lower ranks & down in higher ranks which is the current issue, she’s too good at the top level of play and not quite good enough for less skilled players.
We’re talking about Brig right? Ana/Brig are essentially must picks GM
As far as DPS heroes, there’s a bit more variance. Genji, Ashe, McCree, Tracer, Widow
I’m not saying Ashe didn’t need a nerf…I’m just saying it’s weird how it’s so obvious that Ashe needed one yet Brig apparently didn’t? Brig is only behind Ana in pickrate, while surpassing her in winrate.
Like I explained, these changes are meant to tone her down at high ranks & bring her up in lower ranks. I don’t see the issue…isn’t that Brigs glaring problem?
