Okay I know what you’re thinking. Oh, this guy is just complaining, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, blah blah blah. But I know that there are people who agree with me. Brigitte is op. It’s not all of her kit, just one part. Shield Bash. She lunges forward and stuns the first person in her path. It’s kind of like a Mccree flash bang but it’s much better (for Brigitte). She can hit through shield, unlike flash bang, she can’t take frontal damage due to the fact that she has to have her shield up, while Mccree can take damage, and to be honest, she requires not a lot of skill to be effective. Just swing your flail and you win. What do you think about this?
McCree’s is AoE, has a larger range, can be tossed around barriers, and he can actually kill people who aren’t Tracer. I wouldn’t use McCree as a comparison for any sort of balance though since he’s in a bad spot so comparing anyone to him is going to make them look OP.

I just think people are trying their best to nerf her before competive comes. She literally can’t be fully evaluated until she’s out in comp. I seen a couple of post of people saying that she’s going to be useless because a Pro said she would be. Personally i say she’s fine but can be a threat if people allow her to close the gap which is the enemy teams fault in their own right.

Sheild bash will probably get a slightly longer cooldown eventually, meanwhile Brigitte isn’t OP, just annoying.
Brigitte isn’t OP, she just stomps all over CQC in much the same way Reaper can delete tanks (if only he weren’t so darn clunky atm.) It largely is her short stun cool down enabling this though.
Exactly. It’s not shield bash alone though. It’s the fact that she shield bashes, and her whole team is focusing you now. That’s the big problem. Also, how is she supposed to counter dive if she can actually help it? She just tosses a repair pack onto a diving monkey or a teamate who needs healing. Done. She can play from whipshot range and just get slight poke, or move in while the enemy is distracted, and start some mayhem. I think I outsmarted Blizzard themselves.
