With the amount of time I have played this game, I can’t believe I forgot about Zarya’s bubble.

Thank you.

For some reason my brain was just fixed on Winston’s bubble only.

Why was the comp called “double barrier” if brig was in it? Surely that would make it triple barrier? Or with Sym it would be quad barrier? so weird

It’s really triple bubble, since Zarya has two… but I guess it’s supposed to mean “two bubble-making tanks.”

Brig is excluded from the tank club. Her “”“barrier”“” is laughed at and mocked within the underground grottos of the tanks.

Basically because you could swap brig and sym in and out of it. The comp focuses primarily around orisa sigma. You can choose an aggressive version of it (OG double barrier, moira lucio) or a more modern, defensive version of it (baptiste and brigitte). Keep in mind DPS matter also. Mei hanzo was a seriously important thing for a while and you basically had to mirror it.

Lol imagine thinking of Brig’s paper shield as a barrier.

That also, brigitte shield has very low health.
Also, Syms shield is an ultimate.

Brigs barrier is personal and Sym barrier is literally an ult so it doesn’t count.

If you’re a shieldbot Brig thats usually what happens. When u learn to shield dance and take advantage of flail and self healing is what sets you apart from other shieldbot brigs lol

Winston jumps in, receives Zarya bubble
after that breaks he uses his own bubble
it buys him allot more time

I immediately thought of Bubble Bobble (Taito 1986 Arcade game). :thinking:

The bieggest advantige of bubble is that it blocks Brigs whipshot, if you play a Monkey without Zarya Brig can whip you away midjump making you useless for 6 seconds

There is much more to it, but it would break the limits

For me, Double-Bubble references an oldschool NES game.
