Well, it’s not just private profiles. It’s been a long road of changes that led up to this point.
The point is, her pick rate has been tanked because of all the changes. Not because she’s incapable.
You’re definitely not the first person I’ve heard say it. Nor are you the first to lack screenshots.
However, if we take a cursory glance at Overbuff’s 6-month pickrate trends, Mercy was barely phased by the private profiles (which were implemented mid-June).

PS: Has it really been 3 months? Jeez I’m getting old.

Brigitte can’t do anything to you behind Reinhardt either, ya know.

Orisa might be able to take down the shield, but her damage suffers a lot from the Armor. Orisa’s only source of damage is reduced to by 45% when armor is in play.
Doesn’t really matter, considering her rate of fire. She still deals 72 dps, not including headshots and she has a 150 ammo clip.
Brigitte is not going to be just walking through that.

I stand corrected. I hate overbuff, it’s so difficult to find the information you’re looking for. They need a complete overhaul of their UI.

Rein can do the job.
I wait for her to bash then smack her over the head with my giant german hammer
And Brigitte’s armor is literally 50, so it’s not like it’s going to take very long to chip that away.

Every heard of D.va? Just dive her and melt the shield with your missiles and shotgun from afar, then she can’t stun you. If she tries to run away, she dies, and if she decides to fight you, she dies. EZ CLAP.

Rate of fire doesn’t matter. It’s a 45% reduction to all of her damage that extends to the entire enemy team.
72 DPS is AWFUL
When I’m Ana and I see Brigitte trying to encroach on my tank, I just let the two of them trade blows a bit and then throw a grenade at both.
it’s hilarious watching the Brigitte realize just how utterly screwed she is at that moment.

D.Va can actually get wrecked by a Brigitte, lol. You just get really close to D.Va and hop around her a bunch meleeing her to death. D.Va loses sight of you quick and can’t keep up. I do it to D.Va’s constantly on Reinhardt and it makes them lose track of me when I am that close and jumping around them. Brigitte would be even worse because of her smaller hitbox.
Say what? Rate of fire DOES matter, because that’s how fast her damage stacks up. It’s the reason Tracer, can melt a Reinhardt despite the Armor completely gimping her damage. She fires so fast that the armor is gone in one clip, and then Rein is just a big sponge.
And not only is 72 dps literally more than Brigitte can do, but Orisa has a number of tools at her disposal that let her dominate that duel after Brig’s shield breaks. Once her shield is gone, Orisa can Halt Brigitte and line up perfect headshots (doubling her DPS to 144) and she can bolster her already-formidable 400 health temporarily to 800 while making herself immune to the rest of Brig’s kit.
I like how you assume the average person knows how to work as a team in this game.

Dive, and she has her shield up, mitigating the incoming burst damage. And then she only has her normal fire left. And then Brigitte tears her down. Bash, bash, her selfheal almost completely negating anything Dva dishes out. DVA want’s to fly away? Shieldbash, and then DVA is out of her mech. Baby DVA not standing a chance.
If you break the shield it’s only on cooldown for 3 seconds…
Maybe the worst D.va to ever play the game could die if the fight started when D.va was at 100 health, but for any D.va with more than 30 seconds of playtime, it is nearly impossible to die to the Brig.
If you go in with full health and dive her with micro missiles, her shield is all but gone and if she keeps it up, she screws herself even more. Once the D.va gets close, her shotgun-like weapons make short work of a Brig. Since Brig’s stun is now on a 7-second cooldown, you will always have an escape as well, because boosters are on a 5 second CD.
If you’re REALLY trash, get an Ana to back you up, and the Brig is hard countered.
If you do that, you will get stunned. That dive also does not do 600 damage. Bash bash, rince and repeat, DVA dead.
Brigitte was DESIGNED to counter dive.

So as a D.Va, you dive in on Brigitte, who is supposed to be near the center and rear of her team, and you somehow DON’T die to the rest of her team you’re now surrounded by? I am just trying to picture what the hell the other team is doing that is allowing a D.Va and an Ana (of all horribly immobile healers) to somehow make it to their backlines uncontested.
It sounds like you’re feeding, honestly. I beat every D.Va that has ever tried to 1v1 when I’ve played Brigitte. D.Va is at a huge disadvantage. Brigitte counters dive.
I really don’t think you understand how DPS works. DPS is an average over time. If Orisa had a lower rate of fire, she would be doing more damage because Armor is less of a factor. Against armor, lower rates of fire at the same DPS is better.
And you’re talking about a situation where you are 1v1 a Brigitte, which should never happen because why the f is Orisa by herself in any situation? The main issue with Brigitte is that her armor buffs to the entire party neuters your damage dramatically because any damage you do to ANY enemy is likely going to be reduced because of her E and her Ultimate. 45% reduction in damage is not small.
