I think new Brig is way more fun to play than old Brig. She could still use a bit more durable shield and some more self healing with Inspire, other than that I feel like she actually plays her part as a support who takes care of her other support.

Just contributing here as an ex-Brig main…I would give anything for them to revert her.
I cant stand her new “cower and hide behind corners and press E at people every 6 seconds and try to land whip in the age of shieldwatch” playstyle
I miss having independence and being an actual shieldmaiden and able to help my frontline tanks, I hate hearing “MY BARRIER CANT-(CRACK)” every 3 seconds.
I hate that the payload is a better self heal than Brig’s own inspire, because it’s the same amount (10hp/s) but you don’t need to engage someone to proc it, and it doesn’t go away after a few seconds

You have 44 minutes on brig and genji is one of your most played
Hmmm

She’s not really great at the moment, I would pick any other support over her.

Me, I am really enjoying her. But the people who have been enjoying her have been a minority, so the people who will respond yes might be small amounts.

You view is opposite of the fact she needs another main healer to back her up. If she’s the single support you’re not gonna get much value out of her.

All of my hours on Genji were logged back in the beginning of 2018 when I first played OW and the hero that I liked at first was Genji. I haven’t actually touched that hero and played him seriously since 2018, so no, I’m not saying it as a Genji main relieved that Brigitte can no longer harass me.
If you were to check my time played across all modes you’d notice I play more Ana than any other hero, but overall I play every support, even Brig which I have 16 hours on, not 44 mins.
I usually say “ignore people with hidden profiles that say new big is great” but in your case oof you should have kept it hidden. You’ve barely ever touched Brig.
EDIT: I see above you say you’ve played her 16 hours. Well until your profile updates to reflect that, it’s 44min.
I don’t like current Brig. Terrible design. She could always stand back and toss out repair packs.
People only like her because her healing is overtuned so they win more games than they should. Or because they are the kinda folks that would like cookie clicker.

Ignoring that statement as I just explained myself in the post above yours.
I don’t understand what’s so bad about liking current Brig. She’s definitely not as OP as she used to be but still works well with her teammates by providing preemptive armor for them when they go for a push. I enjoy that feeling of being able to keep my allies alive with three fast-charging health packs as opposed to the one cooldown-based health pack.
She’s way more OP than she used to be.
Wut.
Wrote an addendum as you were typing. You haven’t played her 16 hours until it says you’ve played her 16 hours, we’re not taking your word for it and the “You serious?” was directed at Venus’s insane statement.
It’s boring and underwhelming, so not really.
Serious about the fact I have fun and still get value out of playing with her?
Pretty much.
That’s fine by me. It’s not like I need to prove anything to you anyway.
Hanzo is OP and needs a massive nerf. I can say this because I have over 150 hours on him. My profile just hasn’t updated yet. 
I like current brig more. I mean I liked playing the op version too but I felt dirty so I only played her for one season.
I don’t feel dirty playing current brig…most of the time. At times I can still clean up pretty well with w+m1, this is obviously under specific conditions - close space, enemies all near death.

I feel very dirty playing current Brig. I’m a liability and team has to play around me.
Nothing insane about it. When you have repair pack and inspire going, nothing dies. There’s a reason so many Brigitte mains have such insane winrates and at some point a Brig player had all 3 top healer spots to themselves.
Y’all just don’t see it because most people treat this game like it’s about 1v1s with everything stacked in your opponents favor.
Edit
Her survivability is trash but repair pack is broken af.

Uh no. You don’t get to use old brig wins to try to back up your assertion that new brig is op.
I’m not talking about old Brig wins, I’m talking about new Brig wins this season.
