I genuinely just don’t even know what’s the point of her anymore. I’ve been playing support flex my entire time on overwatch and after all the brig changes, I don’t know what to do with her anymore.
She’s so extremely situational and requires so many conditions in order to get value it’s upsetting.
Even when I throw three repair packs on one person, it’ll never be enough to save them from burst damage ( which was the point of her repair packs in the first place. ) and even when I come to support, my flimsy health gets destroyed easily.
If I try to block damage for someone, my shield immediately gets destroyed and I get one shotted because of my 200 hp and large hit box.
And I know I’m gonna have people saying that I’m not playing her right, but I am. I’ve played Brigitte since she was launched. I know how to play her. She just requires so much more conditions than other heroes in order to get value that she shouldn’t even be a brawler anymore.
I can’t defend people, I cant protect people, I can’t use my repair packs to save someone, and my repair packs heals is the same amount of healing as mercy’s healing but for only 2 seconds.
Considering that combined with her inspire which makes it equivalent to Moira’s healing. Because she has no burst healing it does nothing to save someone from burst damage.
Plus, what is even the point of the 50 armor on her health? It really doesn’t do anything for her.
She is a VERY VERY good anti dive hero. That is her niche.
Don’t play her in this meta. But as soon as they get flankers (or dive tanks especially) SWAP to her and you literally bomb them.
I don’t mean to come off as aggressive at all. But I’ve been doing that. I can’t even 1v1 a genji anymore even when I shield dance.
And against dive, I’m having a hard time even fighting against winston because I can’t stun him through his shield ( because shields block her stun. ) and his primary fire outdamages her inspire heals along with her being unable to block it because yknow, it’s winston.
So considering the fact that winston completely just nullifies her healing and can sometimes block her stun, the other dive characters can immediately take her down.
She just doesn’t have the strength she had before to counteract dive characters anymore.
Being used in OWL and GM when it’s her meta, and otherwise screwing up Tank design, because of how much defensive capabilities you can stack with Tanks.
Stay in the back as brig, that is her new playstyle. You should be body guarding high priority targets.
Keep using your whip shot to keep that extra healing up, and throw repair packs like a mercy pocket dispenser.
Save your shield bash for when genji engages onto you.
Brig is REALLY good against genji, but brig is more difficult than she used to be. Once it clicks, you’ll absolutely ROLL genji. Coming from someone who plays a LOT of brig.
but isn’t that not fun? Why should a hero have to have a meta in order to be valuable. It’s practically a waiting game. You wait for your hero to be in a meta, you get heavily nerfed. Wait for the next meta to be done with and you repeat.
Personally, I’m not fan of meta as a concept at all. I feel like such a thing is super unhealthy for the game. But once again, I don’t mean to come off as aggressive. Just talkin is all.
your kidding right?
armor is insane
I play tank and I know this
it has break points
in its nature its meant to be
Brig literally gives this to people
people who shouldn’t have armor
anyways,
Brig is still SUPER good
sorry you can’t frontline, not die and kill everything anymore but by no means is she bad
I never said I wanted her to be op??? Where on earth did you get that from. All I said was that I wanted her to have some value.
And I don’t know what world you live, because honestly I wanna live there. But Brigitte is just completely bad in my rank. No matter who’s side she’s on.
I’m curious. What would the shield bash do if it doesn’t stun? Is the purpose of it meant to be an ability meant specifically for movement for her in this concept rework?
