no, not really. people have been complaining about being stunned through reinhardt’s shield and being one shot by a support hero since Brigitte was released.

Ahem, back to the balance idea which will fix the reinhardt problem.

Also being one shot through the use of 3 different abilities which doesn’t even one shot you unless you are tracer and outside of that combo her damage can be considered trash.

She is by no means a dps because of that and because of that damage combo it kept flankers from killing her directly, she presented a threat to flankers so they tried to avoid her but that’s no longer the case.

And as said above that change would help the dps who weren’t supposed to be countered.

@Warbourne-11798

Hog and Widow are the same kind of Hero, but at least you have to not be complete garbage with them to get the same effect…

how are they even remotely similar?

Also as said above (i feel like you’re just skipping all of my points because of bias towards this point)

@Zenkai-11876

Another one could be making her mace only deal it’s maximum damage when aimed more towards the center of her crosshair, that way she could scale better rank wise.

Or better explained here

as you know, Brigittes weapon works in a cone in front of her, dealing 35 damage a swing in its range, What i think of, that would be an idea, is to make certain part of the hitbox a “good” hit, and the other one a “bad” hit, This is what i mean is explained in this image

(sorry that its not exactly symmetrical, i have no pulse :p)

The green part of the hitbox is the good hit, if you hit someone there, it deals more damage, if you hit them in the red part, they take less damage

Remind me how the ptr changes help in this area in anyway? they are direct nerfs that just cut her skill ceiling off from the top instead of the bottom.

She’ll just be good at low ranks and trash everywhere else.

They should instead increase her difficulty while maintaining her skill ceiling.

@Warbourne-11798

Short of nerfing Brigitte’s barrier to 200 HP, there really isn’t anything else they could have done because the problem is that people were playing her as a flanker. Just like we told them they would.

I do feel like you have a large bias against the character because a nerf like that is completely overkill.

@Justin-17714

Why is taking away her ability to 1v1 almost every hero in the game without high mobility “terrible from a balance standpoint”

Let’s see, in terms of 1v1 all tanks besides winston and hammond can beat her.

For dps who counter or have the upper hand

Ashe
Bastion
Doomfist
Hanzo
Junkrat
Pharah
Sombra
Torbjorn
Widowmaker

And characters like mei or symmetra aren’t necessary contered ether.

I’ve also never had a problem with her as lucio.

@Justin-17714

Why does a tank/support hybrid need damage

looks at lucio, moira and zenyatta in confusion

Also outside of her one combo that makes her use all of her abilities and is on a 7 second cooldown her damage is trash.

Let’s also not forget that besides those healers, every tank also has ways of dealing damage.
