What if we made Brigitte require “aim”

What it if they made her so that her flail had to have the crosshair on the target to hit, just like her shift and torbs hammer maybe this might balance her and stop people calling her a “brain dead hero”

It’d make her feel a lot less like a Dynasty Warriors hero, which would probably be a step in the right direction.

Nah, unless they make her shield into paper and she cant do anything in a match, they’ll still call her that regardless of what you suggested.

Id be hapier if she whipped her mace forward and made it slower for a tad more range and damage, it would be a good buff for her in higher ranks but make her harder to climb with in the lower ranks

omg. hahahaha nailed it

Then remove her flail, because that’s exactly the point of a flail.

After the Symmetra rework, I feel like this is quite plainly a bad idea

Nah, she needs to not require aim.

Otherwise there would be some ****ing super e-riots, and we already have enough of those happening.

There are other ways to fix her…

reduce the range of shield bash for starters.

aim is not the only skill jesus christ
we need no aim heroes in this game

Want Brigitte less of a brainless hero? Just add headshot multiplier to her whipshot. lul

Yes, aim is not the only skill, but if a hero does not require any aim whatsoever, at the very least good positioning and game awareness should be required (Winston is the perfect example). To be effective with Brigitte you don’t need any of that.

dude brig is not op as u know stay away from her ignore her use one shot heroes
u will counter her

Make her flail melee vertical so she had to have some degree of tracking skills
And I am a Brig player myself, I would like more skill-intensive function to her kit to weed out the braindead tape M1 down players of her

Again, like everyone else defending brig.
You are saying: PLAY A SNIPER.

there is other one shot heroes wtf

People are gonna be shook no matter what
she could have to snipe people with her flail and still be called brainless
she could have her shield bash changed to her ultimate and still be called overpowered
she could have her damage reduced by 50 (literally negative damage than her current output) and she’d still be called overpowered
she could have her healing increased by 100 and she’d still be called “a dps/tank hybrid, not a real support”
she could have her whip shot reduced to 3 metres, and her health reduced to 20 with no armour, and she’d still be called unkillable

People complain because they can’t be bothered to counter, even though she’s easily counterable.

MY personal suggestion, as someone who plays a TON of Brigitte is

  1. have her damage reduced per swing from 35 to 30
  2. reduce her cool down on the armour pack
  3. make it so she can only hit 2 people at a time

there, she’s suddenly perfect.
But people would still complain, because she’s a flanker counter.

I wouldnt aim with her even if I have to. Because Brigitte weapons are good at short range and she is tanky enough to fight point blank
No reason to aim when you have such stats. Does a doomfist aim his punch or use it right in front of you?

Make her shield a 12 second cd ability instead, then you can punish her for bad positioning.

This game needs no-aim heroes that can do decent damage. When you add hypermobile characters that become effectively invincible if played right, they’re a must.

The most I’d do is reduce her flail’s damage to 30 (thereby reducing her DPS and giving a bit more breathing room, but still allowing her to one shot Tracer). I’d also make it so that Shield Bash treats all shields as walls. So, if she shield bashes into a Winston shield, she’d be stopped by the outer layer of shield. If she shield bashes a Reinhardt shield, she wouldn’t go through and Rein wouldn’t be stunned.
