I’m here to clear up some points that teammates seem to have they when they have a Brigitte on their team.
She’s not a solo healer or tank. Stop treating her like on.
I see a lot of people that seem to think when a Brigitte is on their team that the tank and/or support role is filled. It’s not. Brigitte is nowhere close to a solo healer or tank.
So the next time you see a Brigitte on your team you still need a tank and healer. The Brigitte can switch between the roles from time to time but she does need help in both cases. Also (as a sidenote) stop complaining about the heals as Tracer and Genji when the healer duo (or trio as I’ve seen a couple of times) is Brigitte and Moira and/or Lucio
Her ult requires you to be near her. Stop running away and then complain that the ult was useless.
The next time you see a Brigitte use her ult. If you have the chance. Go towards her instead of running away and expecting armor to magically appear.
Stay close to her. Her passive (just like her ult) doesn’t work if you are around a corner or on the other side of the map. Her other heal is on a cooldown and again can’t go through walls and has no infinite range.
And last but not least. She’s not a DPS. She doesn’t have the mobility, range or damage output to be a DPS. So next time you see a Brigitte battle someone it’s not against the rules to help her out. She can’t deal with everyone on her own. If she misses the Bash or Slingshot (forgot the name) the battle isn’t going to favor her. Her passive doens’t do enough healing for that.
Thanks for listening and hopefully this helps some people understand what the new hero is and what she can and can’t do.
Now I’m going to go into another game and wait for the Genji’s and Tracer’s to start telling me they aren’t getting healed enough.
So many people dont get this. I will tag my ult ready and group up and they will just plain not. Or they will, then immediately scatter as though 15 armor is enough.
Zen is an off-healer, not a main. So she still does not fill the MAIN HEAL role. She’s got arguably the worst heals of the whole class (except of course sym). Not saying she can’t pump out the heals, she can if everyone groups up. But the situational nature means that even at her best you want a main healer or at worst a second off-healer. She will never effectively heal alone.
I assume this post was is more or less giving advice to comp players who don’t use voice chat? In Quick games I cannot see that people are going to stay close to her when they have no idea when she’s going to blow her ult.
thats why you use your communication keys to tell them your ult is ready and group up. Since its qp they likely won’t listen, but its the least you need to do to try.
All of this is why I haven’t gotten anything done with bridgitte so far and keep having to swap off unless I want us to get rolled. Biggest thing is she wants a deathball and that deathball needs to push
I’m not arguing with this, but in QP, down the line when the hype wears off, it’ll be up to the Brigitte player to realize this if the match isn’t going well. I.e. they’ll be better off switching to Mercy or Moira, rather than waiting for a teammate to switch. And as usual, switching to a tank will be useless since there’s no other healers.
Why are you trying to fight? First you use the second-worst healer in the game to try and argue that shes fine solo healing. Now you are saying it doesnt matter cuz its quick like this won’t apply in the future. Like, this guy is just trying to offer some very on point advice, stop being so pointlessly and weakly argumentative.
I never said that they couldn’t but if the team complains about brigitte not healing enough or not "tanking"enough while being the only healer/“tank”. They should just do something about it, but no… Let’s go Tracer/Genji/Hanzo/Widow and Sombra and tell the Brigitte player they are trash… That’s the moment the problems I wrote down in this post arise.
I just want to make them now because I know that people will get the wrong idea about Brigitte and what she can and can’t do in comp. Even after all that time getting used to the hero.
So much this, I’ll spam “My ultimate is ready” and “Group up” a fair amount of time before I use my ultimate and just when everyone is in range to make use of it I cast it and for some reason someone always walks off to shoot someone and expects me to follow them.
Really, it’s just quick play. For most ppl fun or training mode. If I play quick play then the most time without a tank or supp in my team… and why not. If I want to play serious then I play competitive.
