The Brig nerf should have stopped at not being able to bash through Shields

Even the pros couldnt do that till Brig was released which is why NYXL was unbeatable

Holy cow you’re right.

Yeah that’s just as awful. That’s like playing a JRPG and and having potions heal different characters by different amounts.

A turbo-lazy way to say “aw we made this guy too slippery, guess we’ll just implement this in the most obtuse and inelegant way possible :upside_down_face:

Yeah it does seem pretty arbitrary xD That’s why I even suggested doing the same with Brigitte. The reason he got that nerf was because people complained he was way to hard to kill as a support back then (There was only Mercy, Zen, and Ana at the time for heals, none of which could constantly heal themselves). Same way a lot of people complain about Brigitte now… Lol.

Not saying I don’t like the nerfs at all, it’s just a lot of nerfs to place at a single time. We haven’t had a single batch of nerfs on a single character this large since Mercy’s Valkyrie Rez nerfs.

I’d just prefer smaller changes more often is all. PTR takes weeks to update and then a week or more to come to live with little changes to what is there.

They probably want a nerf to the heal or armor instead. Which would honestly make her a lot worse vs Tracer then the damage nerf will.

I’m not sure why they pushed through two nerfs at once. Maybe their internal testing still showed her as dominant after the first one. Still I’d give the live servers a chance with just one nerf. Normally they balance so slow but then they hit her with this after 9 months of Brig being roughly as good/meta-defining as she is (other than the on release armor from ult).

Edit: anyone know when nerfs go live?
