She won’t. Rally and Repair Pack are untouched and that’s where her real strength vs. Dive comes from. Her ability to set up free teamfight wins in GOATs mirrors via bash-shatter is unrelated to that.
She can’t do that anyway, Rein wins all 1v1s with Brigitte.
This nerf is unnecessary and is basically just a massive Rein buff.

Do you think she might need a buff after this nerf? She’s been nerfed so many times
Except Blizzard pretty much never does refunds. Even if removed the stun all together they wouldn’t reduce the CD or increase her shield HP again.
Didn’t they literally just undo one of Mercy’s changes for her Valk?
She needs a buff to her ultimate. I consider it one of the least impactful ultimates since it’s really only good for providing temporary protection to shield users from EMP, but absolutely sucks against all the tank ultimates. A lot of times grouping up to get armor from it gives the enemy team a perfect moment to initiate their ultimates.
She is the poster child for good kit, bad ultimate.

Not really, I mean they buffed her healing in Valk only, not replace the base healing. But it’s still a very rare and minor thing. GIven she’s been that way for months it took them long enough to do anything at all.
Plus in Mercy’s case after several nerfs/buffs reworks and more nerfs/buffs I figure they ran out of idea’s. Still by that sterling example maybye Brigitte will be buffed in 2020 some time.
Devs are doing a lot better with balance changes I don’t think you’re giving them enough credit.
The 50 armor nerf to the Ult is pretty bad but in general I think the worst aspect of it is the range. It’s just way to small for how little of a buff you get. Not to mention grouping your team up just sets you up for a team wipe because the Ult can’t even stop a rip tire from killing your team.
…I don’t mind.

They are doing more, better is up for debate. Just seems like they are throwing random changes at the wall and seeing what sticks. Never mind that most of the time changes either don’t go to the PTR at all, or they do but no feed back is listened too before they go live.
I think the best thing they could do is increase the rate at which you initially get the first 100 armor, then reduce the rate for any depleted armor that is restored. The way it is now, you have to either use it before a fight to only get 100 armor, or you save it for the midnight to give Brigitte a speed boost to outflank the enemy tanks/battle the nano blade Genji.
It’s really underwhelming.

Um… They’ve been taking a lot of feedback lately…
Just because you suggest something doesn’t mean they have to do exactly that. Some things don’t make it past internal testing for a reason.
They are probably going to do the some thing for doomfist which will be indirect buff for Brigitte because he will not be able to punch her through her shield anymore.
Can second that as a rein main too.
You simply can’t lose a 1v1 with brig as rein, and this change will make it even easier.
This nerf seems small and very specific thougb, I don’t think it will be much of a problem, and it will affect mostly the higher levels of play, because 1 bash on rein can mean death in GM and above.
I am a Brigitte main and I am fine with this.

What about Doomfist’s melee stun? 
I do hope this ability gets the same treatment.
I would assume it simply stops as soon as it comes into contact with an enemy barrier, instead of going straight through.

In that case would Rein charges go through shields? o.o
